To form a

Placed in midst of branches

Miraculously withstanding

We are one because 
your soul is etched onto mine 
As patterns on glass 
Deeply carved is our love 
Withstanding time and trials...

Not withstanding that two hearts may break
Lovers must love for love's own sake.

Black Bears

Black bears can 
Be a sight to
Behold. 
But they can also
Be a real nuisance, destroying
Bird feeders and
Bee hives. Charmin commercials not withstanding

Pina colada? 
Pinky said sure.
Pinafore dressed
She looked truly pure.

Pin curls and pinballs.
Pinky provided proof
Pigtails non-withstanding
She was an odd little poof....

Prayer 
      King Darius the great
      Bring to me what's in my fate

      In this life
      withstanding strife

       For if I deserve the best
       Let  it be in your quest....

Love laughs at life,
Scorns the scourging whip of years,
Dulls life’s sawing knife
And watersheds its tears.

Love smiles at death,
Soul withstanding soil,
Heaped upon the flesh whose breath
Expires. Love’s Death’s foil....

Wife had a knee replacement surgery.

Her medication has created problems for stool,
And some say when you are in medical school,
Also  when  withstanding,
Performance outstanding;
You will always learn how to control your cool.

We are withstanding 
We are standing in God 
In what we need 
For we are His and He shall-
Shall not deny us 
Those things that we see 
And in all that we need

Be strong in the Lord
Wearing His complete armour*
Evil withstanding.

*Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Towers
Tall                            Structures
Offering                     Shelter
Withstanding              Blows
Evaporating               Lives
Raping                      Families
Security                    Needed

Not withstanding
In this rejoice
Spirits are subjected
Unto you
But rejoice
Praise God alas
Oh!, my friend rejoice
Because your name is written in the Lambs book in...
Heaven
Not Withstanding I choose to Rejoice

Withstanding bitter winds through winter thrust
Windswept snowfall in streaks of icy gust
Fighting off polar windstorm 
Behind windshield keeping warm
In flimsy windbreakers we put our trust

The gold and green draping
Shines on thee amazing
As thou dance allegro
It reminds my era
Difference between us
Half generation thus
Yet it’s understanding
And the bond withstanding
Blessing to be blessed
With twin kids greenly dressed
Thus, one will bear my name
The other has thy fame
Golden being their mien
And an emerald green..!...

Delicately beautiful are the flowers
brave, to say the least...
Withstanding natures harshness
too spring up from underneath
Earth on which we live on
lands of dust and dirt
Forging through the cracks of rocks
now isn't that a quirk?!
Whoa they are so pretty...
entrancing all to gaze
Sweetly scented, soothing, splendid
constantly amaze....

Spring bursts with birth
glowing with mirth 
that shows life worth
enriching Earth.

Summer does greet
glad day so sweet
blowing joy's treat
to beat the heat.

Fall highlights zest
of colors' crest
midst changes blest
withstanding test.

Winter's delight
midst snowy sprite
makes prayer flight
to God aright....

DELICIOUS LOVE

One is what we done
Having always done
Again and again, it must be done
Without and never ending love.

Delicious Love
Is doing it with love
No condition and no prejudice
No more no less but seem adequate.

Delicious love is definite
When enjoyable, compatible and memorable
An indulging couple as one
Not withstanding forevermore....

Valentine Attributes 

Crusading dictations
Gathering together
Professing devotions
Arousing emotions

Holiday flourishing
Underlined greediness
Commercial dictated
Composing emotions

Weariness withstanding
Tirelessly pretending
Valentine’s forgotten
Closeted emotions

Both feet sit in a peace talk
To one to one win,win in walk

Left and right how understanding?
One to pull one to push their standing

Not to proud in going one forward
Not disgrace it’s keeping one behind

Only until other to take it’s turn onword

Men and women come to an understanding
Seeing how these feet each other withstanding!...

blue skies long boats
trees withstanding wheels with ropes
standing there watching with hope
that it doesnt choke
as it dangles around its neck like a jacket on a cloak
jump in the blue sea and float
my freinds atoms and isotopes
give me the antidote as bubbles rise to make h20
water are you my freind or my foe
as im deep under i flap my hands up up and away i go.......

Shes a huntress
least that offend you
I  have a fictional  affair
with my cat
All she wants is love and warmth
Her eyes follow me
her paws entangle my hands
The elixir of her dighty breath 
is unearthly
She not outstare me
She knows my moods
although I can never second guess hers
She ages with dignity
I indulge her with my feelings
Her countenance  knows withstanding...

my love for you, far from ephemeral 
like a brick wall, bonded with euphoria and affection
yet, under the pressure of time
the bond start to weaken, 
and the bricks begin to crack.
yet the wall still stands,
withstanding the elements against it. 
but time eventually takes its toll, 
as the bricks cascade and crumble.
the architect looks upon the pile of rubble,
reflecting on what once was.
