Freedom of speech is an expression of views
from someone you don't like!
And tolerating dirvegent views
you don't want to hear!...

Accepting Godsend afflictions with resignation is fortitude 

But

Tolerating Man-made suffering without a fight is cowardice!

Each day is a frustrating adventure in futility
Tolerating such weird behavior is incomprehensible
The man at the helm
Is spitting out phlegm
Normal just ain't in his realm of possibility...

My 3,000th poem should be something special
So I offer to all my Soup friends a special medal
For tolerating my humour
Your responses have been super
After all these years, I've still got my foot on the pedal...

When love is dominating
It means for mistakes
When love is tolerating
It means for hardships
When love is sharing
It means for happiness
When love is nothing but love 
It means for love at first glance
And a great adventure ahead...

i am pieces of granite wall
undetermined reason for being
tolerating chisel masters
crumbling into dust
falling into bowl of crevice
scraped up into Chinaman’s baskets
roughing up against dainty seashells
fitting nowhere
out of place
out of sorts
out of ideas...

Once again, here we are celebrating
Fathers through out the globe
With a cheer, with a smile
Thank you, dad, for being my guide
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for supporting me 
Thank you for tolerating my flings
Thank you for correcting my wrongs
Thank you for staying strong
Thank you for being around
Dad you are special to me....

Auras of assorted color
Undulating with the breeze
Tolerating the alchemy
Until the seasonal period
Maintains demands for
Naked limbs diverged of their burden.

Splashing downpours
Playfully cascading upon
Lovers enveloped in a sweet
Embrace. A breath of
Novelty in creation
Discovering a balance
Of order in the
Ripening buds for contemplation....

No matter the occasion we serve memories
remembered we are not, lest we fail
our appetizing attitudes are often remedies 
No matter the occasion we serve memories
appeasing, tolerating all for the treasury
hot plates, hot tempers, our cooler heads prevail
No matter the occasion we serve memories
remembered we are not, lest we fail

Players of two teams were booting the Ball
Ball between legs not finding rest at all
Tolerating merciless kicks, hoping kiss with Net 
Whiffing restlessly 90 minutes, 44 legs sweat 
Flirted with both Nets, stayed loyal to Octopus Paul

Today I have to confess,
I have been suppressed.
By you, 
Else who?
You have stolen my heart,
By you,
My sleepiness is being thwart.
The way you smile,
It freeze me for a while.
I wanna be your fringe hair,
To disturb your face,
This is my love's base,
I couldn't help myself,
From staring you.
If I am a grass,
You're morning dew.
I am tired of tolerating all this,
I love you all my life,
This is my wish.........

He ached
from morning
into sleep

Slip sliding
a darkness veil
never seeing
the sun
morose he be

Melancholic
sullen angst
singing in his head
day never broke
in gloomy skies
sun never rise

He ached
with every breath
his malaise
in dismal anguish
holds no cure
no relief
tolerating
his condition
hopeless
in denial
alone
his ennui  
unbearable

my hope is legendary
I believe in magic
The goodness of children
an enlightened empathetic world

my hope is prominent
I am full of optimism
that the races can all love each other
and we can do better than merely “tolerating” each other.

my hope gets me out of bed in the morning
She smacks me up the side of the head
If I allow myself the luxury of a negative thought
She is all encompassing, and a guiding light for me....

If all things end, then the end must also end
If nothing exist where does it exist
Is there a point outside of nothingness
Some barrier where nothing becomes something
Where are all the thoughts we have
trapped within the muscle and pulses
Tolerating life 
The guard that keeps its host imprisoned
until death intervenes
If only we could release the innocence of thought
and let it stare blinking at the universe
What wonders would we be...

Within the bounds of winter's grasp
A frozen willow bends
Tolerating icy boughs
Of which she can't defend.

Branches reaching to the ground
Are anchored deep in snow
Withstanding life's unkind torment
Of weather harsh and cold.

Another season comes to pass
She waits majestically
For warmer clime and sunny days
To set her branches free.

Birds appear as spring unfolds
Rejoicing winter's end
Empty cold and darkness gone
Her leaves are green again....

once upon a time 
there was us
laughing
loving
growing

then the seasons changed
and the years progressed
along with them, so did we
too

nowadays
this is us
ignoring
tolerating
forgetting

one day we kill the elephants
and we break the chains of
fear and say 'screw it, let's 
communicate!'

after the steam,
and there was a 
good amount of it,
rebirth
regrowth
Love Returns

we did the work
God Did The Rest
Resulting Continuity Triumphs........
