depth and width rarely change up

that sooner
or later, Crayola
will have to take the 
blame for continuing to 
make Crayons nostril width...

A lonely sailboat. 
poised over the ocean's width 
grasping his freedom

length width height form space
                                 and the fourth dimension of
                                 past present future...

Black elephant in the sun
As the biblical tower of Babel
Hordes of twisted tongues
Infest width, breadth
From Ajegunle slums
To the plateaus of Jos!...

A wide beaming smile the width of his face,
Teeth sparkling like stars in the skies,
One big thing that breaks his smile,
Is not having smile in his eyes....

The limits of the world we live in are set 

By 

The width of our experience, and the height of 

Our understanding.

Men have logic and physical strength,
Judging objects by their width and length.
Yet lose despite strong ammunition,
To women's innate intuition.

Tortured constantly by axes and saws
Rising higher than anything else living
Elusive are your leaves from the ground
Ever so old,the oldest of the races
Surprising width, for cars can pass through...

Just open your eyes,the sky in width.Objective set to frolic in the field.Youth is felt as
daffodils brush your toes.Chest caressed long straws of wheat.Exchanged laughter-birds
chirp a tasteful song....

outside my window
somewhere in the dark
a sound I've never heard before...
a bird in distress-a nests width beyond a song..
it is the season of migration
where all things are displaced-desperate-hungry-hopeful...

After the death of...
Deafness the width a charmer the
Light of the shield from a rattler
Imposes a threat to our imagery
After the death of our sense of roaming
To the reincarnation of character
      Unwoven......

the length of my wisdom
the width of my sorrow
do not match the height of my dreams
a ruler in hand I try to find the perfect box
a conundrum I use bubble wrap to float the soap of foam
and squeeze to fit the truck for delivery....

A form to set aside my width.
A polarization of a manifestation,
decent while the coils roll.
Now to de pleat any ways wrong
and Tai ensure a medium of tolerance.
This is the way to procure and to
defend the title of
a nest egg....

Oftentimes, in public,
the kind of questions 
one asks

reveals  the depth and 
width of knowledge 
one has.

The fool asks questions
just so others will be 
impressed;

the wise asks so the truth
shall be known and 
expressed....

MY THOUGHTS 


My thoughts,
Like angels of heaven
Above,
Their lofty wings unfold to
Their ultimate width 
Hastening 
Close to you to fly,
Your precious being
To protect 
And soar your love 
To the SKY!

the width is wider than the span of life--
                         time to let go!
life is wider than our span on earth
             the end arrives soon
one can not stay, time to let go!
             Yet, we have drunk up so much life,
we hate to sober up....

Tributaries of thought become rivers
which run deep...and slowly;
rapid...and passionately,
until their confluence becomes
one infinitely miscible flow
--dynamic, yet less mercurial,
because their width and depth
are too immense to easily
           dilute...

my pillow has
become you
but you have
become my
pillow

soft but not
feathered down
shape shifting
to fit my girth
and width

spray some
of your
favorite
scent
and

then you send
me away but don't
push me away
befuddled
i only want

to
cuddle...

My river of existence flows upward
As I struggle with the narrowing width
While the depth of my water shallows 
To that level which cannot sustain joy
The uphill battle to flow consistently
Becomes my daily task, my climactic war
Of a dependency on bettering my life...

in vast ocean blue,
soft light swim these two,
her length width of bite,
razor sharp great white,
she admires his charm,
knows will do no harm!

My prayer,

Like the angels of heaven above,

Its lofty wings unfold to their ultimate width 

Hastening my soul close to you, my Lord to fly,

Your holy mercy to seek, so as the sinner me,  

To soar to the sky.

Nothing seems to thus allign
In this Void of Trapezoids 
Rhombus Squares and Hexagrams
Dance with Parallelograms
Diamond Stars and circle Scars-
A Paragon will lead me on
What Circumference? Length and Width?
Dimensions of a Cubic Myth
Radius high; Volume low
A Symmetry Divides my Soul...
