Shimmering cascades of tumbling clear water free falling.
Tiny sparkling crystal-like droplets escaped the mighty deluge.
Sun soaked the waterfall glistened like diamond jewelry.

I see him on the main streets
aggressively panhandling
ranting at things only he could see.
He once surprised me in the Mcdonalds drive through
banging on my car window with a fist filled with steam
barking incoherently
motioning to roll down the window.
I quickly jerked away from his fifty caliber eyes.
Didn't spare him one dirty dime.
While eating my supersized meal off to the side
I silently justified that he looked to clean
wore better sneakers than me.
Some say angels crisscross our paths
in full disguise to measure the beat of our wings.

No, I just need an unbreakable heart.

High above the ocean
Below being a sandy white beach
Easy to watch
One can sit all day and observe
The beach goers, Swimmers and Surfers
The ocean view stretchers for miles
One can reflect back in time
The simple and plan life
No riches in thought of Robin Leech
The Lonely house had fancies
A house with a roof and a place to sleep and eat
Just the fruits of one’s labor
Ocean to house
This lonely house had nothing before it was brought
It looked like shack filled with nothing
Once a dweller brought, it was given new life
Renovated having everything in what a house deserves
A place to be proud of and everlasting living
It took patience and of course the right contractor
Specifications were right and all the construction equipment needed
A lonely medium house because a much bigger house
Where one can admire and enjoy for life
Solid foundation
A dream through reality
No longer a lonely house
House friendly with no mouse
A house back then
Showing what solid as a rock can be
Calm breezes and relaxed souls
The aroma of sugar and spice
What could be so nice.

When you are feeling extra blue.
You just wish the earth would bury you,
In your mind let the earth make a mound.
Gather all the joy you have ever found.
Don't let anything in life seem so slanted.
Tell the world that you've just been planted.

You are in trouble ?
No need to shout
Because if you got yourself in
You can usually get yourself out.

Like an almighty cauldron,
Curling and twirling,
Stirred by the sea,
It came bashing,
As a torrential torrent
Pounding endlessly.

Dear Lord, now my daughter is a mother,
I pray there is one blessing you will bestow.
I am sure she will be caring like no other.
But dear Lord please teach her to say NO.

When sorrow steals into your heart,
And makes herself a shadowed part,
Of every hour, with pain and strife,
Don’t contemplate ending your life.
Your pain wont go, even in deepest despair.
You will pass your pain to those that care.

People call me ugly,
And other hurtful names,
I'm often ostri-sized,
My feathers used for games.
They say the Ugly-Duckling
Grew up to be a swan,
And though I'm still but very young,
They ask me What went wrong?
I'm left here on my own-some;
And feel so sad and blue,
Well, you would feel the same
If you were an ... emu.

You are the light
From the small crack in the door.
Illuminate your darkness.
Feed the deprived
With your good thoughts.
You are the bearer of World Peace.
Show the others how to be.
Don't be offended.
Don't get sucked in.
You are the path
They must walk.
To punish, prod, or persecute
Is playing the lower game while
You are a star
Shot across the sky.
The mean people are beneath you,
(Literally)
So that you may lift them into the night
To be reborn the next day.
What does this all mean?
You wonder in your daydream.
Don't take the high road
Without the deplorables alongside you.
Just as you wouldn't marry a brown toad
Before saying "I love you."

There's a plus-sized woman I totally adore.
She works at a large sized women's clothing store.
This doll is a bit hefty, but I don't care.
I will feel like I'm making love to a big teddy bear.
In whatever I want in a woman, she's got it all.
I look for her each time I go to the shopping mall.

A splendiferous, majestic beast
male lions live lives of famine or feast.
In Africa, he's dubbed the king
reigning supreme over everything.
A super-sized cat he rules the pride
siring all cubs, he won't be denied.
In regal pose, he scans his domain
where due to poachers so few remain.

A tarsier's eyeballs are as big as their brain
Mine too when seeing a gorgeous filly in chains
Another part flip flops
Making my buttons pop
But not to worry, I'm not really in pain

the Philippines having extremely large round eyes
