The subtle line that separates both

Latent heat
Seems innocuous
Ascension greets
The tenacious 

Oft the plateau
Or the dark void
Tests if we know
To remain overjoyed

is the pride and the joy of South Bend
Fast and vivacious
Strong and tenacious
At Notre Dame he’s playing tight end

Tenacious

My wings became the shadow of the past, 
yet still echoing their flight 
for you are the space
that holds together their mass
and breathes matter again into them.

I am engrossed
with you irresistible , tenacious

not impassively
or ungrudgingly
but humbling
presentiment
of my brainwave

turquoise slow , rippling
freehearted and tenacious ;
impassively sail
by the aural yellowlegs
dolphinfish are gone sleekly .

Verse From the Emperor

We can single out the tenacious grass after a storm
And the most devoted officials in turbulence.
A bully knows nothing about morality and justice,
While a wise man always harbours benevolence.

Iris

Through an indecipherable swirl of color,
A sweep of waving leaves…emerge.
Somber tones depict a tenacious iris,
Weathering the storm.

Envious of Mccain

Envious of McCain

Of McCain, we ended up becoming envious;
Attitude was both thoughtful and tenacious;
Honorable being;
And worth seeing;
He gobbled up words while being voracious.

Stuck In My Mind

Perpetual delusion, mania ascending threw my mind.

Obtaining peace is inconceivable, constant anguish, dismay.

Shall I be tenacious enough to battle my

addiction, heroin....

To decisively have amity at last???

Meditation

Thoughts
running
elusive 
untamed, fleeting
boldly tenacious 
and frightened at the same 
time.  Rejecting rest, pacing
agitated and demanding
in constant motion until embraced
in the soothing arms of a centered mind.

Turtleman

Tenacious tender turtleman
Touching time in backwoods glory
Turtles in trouble treated with truth
Relocates pesky animals for safety
Fans laugh at his rainbarrel bath
Never saw a bar of soup....?
Natural for the naturalist

Ode To Bamboo

The Bamboos grip on the green hill without hesitation,
Their roots penetrate into rocks with determination.
Remaining tenacious after having been battered by storm,
At all directions they can stand winds blowing in any form.

The Monologue Man

His talks seemingly obsolete

His obstinacy tenacious and noisy

He rebukes, he chides, he reprimands

His acts like a performer's repertoire

His renunciations to be jeered upon

He renounces, he chucks in, he relinquishes

It is the monologue man
