A whiff of cedar, strong in the air
Joyful cries as days grow near
When single a day, makes men wonder days
Moving about without delays
With sales rising to fullest in spike
As domestics cry out and plants alike
Tunes cheery, food savoury and dance happily
Yet man starts to act rather humbly
But wait, there more to this sunny side
More crimes arise near the glad tide
When the struggle for cheer brings out horror
Turns tidings of glee into something sour
A thief to steal and a slayer to slay
To each with intent of getting some pay
A toy for John, a doll for Jane
Tears left along, as they attain
What a season of festive glory!
Leaving someone out there, safe or sorry.
As i walk through the valleys of shadows and death
I won’t hold a single a single breath
I shall not cower in fear
Because i know my God is near
He protects me and guides me throughout my life
Helps me find peace in every strife
He loves, nurtures, protects and forgives
Even after i sin and turn away from Him
Patient, kind, loving and strong
It is always in him I feel like I belong
Even though hate is all around me
I always feel His peace and love surrounding me.
Really ?
And why is it ?
Do you even have to ask ?
Is the " Truth "
The 1st casually of War
Does a nail have a head
Does the sun go down at the end of the day
Is grass green the sky blue
Fire burn water wet
Maybe it's because in order to to convince
people to put themselves in harm's way
and wage war and be willing to die
The truth simply will never suffice
You have to in fact come up with
a lie so implausible and despicable
Not a 1 single human being dare refuse
to fight and take up arms against
Because if the truth wasn't indeed the
very 1st casualty of war
There wouldn't in fact be a war or a
1 single a another of casualty thereafter
Truth equates to peaceful resolution
Whereas lies lead to conflicts and fighting
Tell you an approach to rid of your doubts without
Practicing divination by tortoise’s shell and yarrow.
It takes three days of fire to single a jade stone out,
And a ridgepole tree it takes seven years to grow.
Zhou Gong once feared rumors about his loyalty,
Wang Mang seemed modest before his usurpation.
If they had died before the unveiling of the reality,
Who would know the truth in the later generation?

Single A Home run Derby

Single, a word of license to mingle.
Happily enjoying self giggle.
Living with one-self, but not alone.
Just like to sing a solo song.
Single, a status before any relationship.
Enjoying the moment alone in the ship.
Hopping from one island to other.
Longing to know the word ''together''
Single, alone in this jungle.
Searching for partner in Google.
Hoping to change the current status.
And finally have a moss on a fungus.
Single, a word that differs from taken.
A person who's ready to be shaken.
It's complicated according to some.
But it is the start before other comes.
I am single, a blatant lie !
N o encumbrance, another lie !
T his is a confession, under oath.
H eart of the matter, is what you are.
E nslave you to my heart’s desire.
M uch treasures you possess, than I desire.
O ften misconstrued to be offbeat character.
O ver zealous in every aspect of life.
D esirious of love in every sense.
F aith in self, incomplete.
O bfuscated by love denied.
R einforced by my love sublime.
L oved, but only once.
O ften confused for lust
V engeance is mine sayeth my heart.
E ntwined tween passions of my heart and soul.
A ssigned so my passions don't go astray.
G one are the days that felt sane.
A lways in my mind your image stays.
I mpregnated by the love, of those tender days.
N ow I am just, begging you to stay…?
Having no inspiration, that`s in your heart or mind
i don`t mind typing until something does find
a sentence that links to a sonnet, lyric or rhyme
because free hand is ok, some of the time.
Contentment and a feeling that you may have inside
will stay with you always an easy going ride
getting older does teach you these things in life
if you`ve settled down single, a girlfriend or wife.
PEACE ...
Being lonely is a strange thing, one minuest happy and the next sad.
Wishing i had a woman in my life, and then not wanting anyone Wishing
i was married with a family, then wishing i was single a batchlor. With
no woman i can go out when i want, eat when i want, come home
when i want. But i sometimes wish i had someone to come home to,
someone to talk to, someone to cuddle up with and hold tight. Someone to love
and do things for, someone to pray with and read Gods word with, someone to go
to church with. Someone to hold hands in the street with and be spontanious with
like buy her flowers and gifts. Oh yes lonilness can be a killer. Oh yes just someone
to be with, someone to come home to thats all i ask.
Hot passion sear through the molten air
Blind emotions of ardour lives within
Love is entangled in a snare
Restless bondage has a struggling been
One with a gift, an offering therein
Other a sympathizer, a compassionate soul
Black scar of passion an original sin
Shroud veils the wound and take its toll
An ally plays the enemy’s role
Heart’s hidden flame dies a sad death
Compassion now shares the soul
Warmth of love suppressed in a breath
Perhaps remaining single, a novice in oblivion
Expecting a better choice, a better solution
None but Allah has made the sun
Glowing brightness
And the moon dimly dazzling
And ordained for it mansions
To enable you to calculate the years and reckoning
Allah hasn’t created even a single a thing for nothing
Allah shows His signs for the people
Who want to know it all.
