When I’m staying alone at home

As this cool event bubble
How admirable!

How else could one's luck survive
Through this troubling drive...

The ebb tide's 
     rhythmic swishing,
     as it leaves the soft, 
     sandy shoal,

     calms down the 
     simmering turmoil
     troubling this weary, 
urban soul !...

Angst
Nerve-racking 
Intensifying stressful tensions
Anguished, worrisome, troubling, sorrowful
Fretfulness

Anatomical Date

She was primped and properly tony
prime rib encasing baloney
a troubling thing
anatomical bling
for all of her assets were phony

Who found himself in a troubling snarl
A victim of vicious rumors you see
The result of deep rooted envy
Gave him clenched teeth and knuckles all gnarled...

They shifted hourly, in sunshine or rain
     Her doc gave her a pill
     He said go home and chill
~ Climbed in the freezer, got ice on the brain...

FIRST FALL  SNOW

Frigid winds 
Indent the once silken
Radiance of a bygone,
Sun struck summer
Terrain .  It’s
Fall, and
All that 
Lingers is
Lightly coated with
Snow, a
Now troubling harbinger
Of surely approaching
Winter...

Flying's not my idea of fun, hear me grumbling
It's not the falling, it's the landing that's troubling
The sudden stop
They'd need a mop
To clean up what's left which resembles pudding

Trying to tell you that I love you,
Has never been such a hard task before.
Even
Trying to comfort you,
and wiping your pearly tears from the distance of space.
Is troubling,
Well at least it is to this coward.
Who loves you from a distance....

In came the cool fretting wind
Unwrapping the gathering waves 
Unsettling a once scenery mind
Into a fist full of doubt
We stretched to view
The troubling distance
Unrevealing a present danger
Splashing and slashing
Every foot hold on reality...

Ugly is such an ugly term.
for ugly, is an opinion...as far as i'm concerned.
And it can be quite troubling, 
when one thinks one is ugly.
But one must remember that such beauty is skin deep,
and the prettiest human being wouldn't interest chimpanzees....

Troubling the trouble till it troubles, a trouble
Tempted to trouble the trouble, now he is troubled
To tell the tale of his test?
I'd better leave him with the narratives
The test of time, I'd stand 
doing whatever is true, noble, right and praiseworthy...

Hear hurry heed howling hazy haste
Trace troubling touchy twisted taste
Prime pure pickling private paste
Choice claims clear charm cheery
Meet moves most merry
Heed heart happy
Trust taut times
Reap rhymes
Mimes

Tearing a page away from troubling times
A beautiful disaster no longer the captive
 
Emerging from the murky waters
Renewed and flourishing 
 
As forest fires promote
new growth abounds
 
Arising anew with rekindled spirit
Sailing on an uncharted sea

I'm not as wise as the Lord in Heaven.
He's billions of years old and I'm only 37.
God is powerful and God is wise.
He's a supernatural being who never lies.
Ask God for his wisdom when things in life are troubling you.
His wisdom has helped me a lot and it can help you too....
