Then we were running in teens :
I was his Valentina, he was my Valentino
I had firm faith , that he was mine.
Smoothly our romance to grow.
Days were passing, no confusion .
Budding youth in ardent amour
Drinking desires ! Vibrant passion .
Two young hearts on graceful glamour.
Me open-minded, innocent
and influenced by your smartness.
No question for a moment !
Just callous, lacking alertness.
One day you left casually,
just telling to meet by tomorrow.
Days, months, years passed actually -
Till waiting, to greet with ‘Hello !’
You sent me to Fool’s Paradise !
I trusted you as my lover.
But a betrayer came in guise
to hit with black Excalibur .
Journey of life through thorny bush,
chased out any expectancy.
Always melancholy to push,
Sinking in despondency.
Coward
I have endowed mind
Singing my mantras' anthems
To God for being kind
Time has plans beaten
Yet daring mind chooses win
Of defeats sweeten
Morrow announced loss
What today wish to begin
Shared yesterday's cross
Through pain and not gain
Because of the lane followed
Induce dew to rain
Processes skipped
Makes battling smartness swallowed
Wisdom well equipped
I am such coward
Whose heartbeats state cool problems
Which ain't empowered
Faded scope with tag
Scaring away cold warning
With oaths to fly flag
Of everyday's sigh
How to seize courage mourning
Hope to flying high
With the strings of bliss
Who have grown from their mistakes
Shunt regret's abyss
Than watch people's view
On how much faded loss stakes
Out of aging blue
Love walks away...
Day-in day-out on what heart wants,
Leading astray...
What heart needs, hurting what lust flaunts
Against heart's will;
Tomorrow shall find out the best,
Lust don't run still
To sustain beast; a trying test
That locks up joy,
Of unrest gauge- swinging heart's eyes
Like a playboy,
Whose smartness can't hang up late sighs
Wandering near love,
Enough to beat tricks; lust employs.
Quest seems a dove-
Taking love down on track, hade poise!
What is love's stake,
If life ends all dreamy heart, wished?
Lust brings such ache...
Upon all love builds long vanished!
Yet hope stands firm,
To conscious choice of what love hate.
Running off term;
All day long till nonsense negate
Lustful hope's time,
Reaching for timing, love would stop
Heart rating crime
Love negate towards been the top.
Elegance means fashion and style
A car, a dress, a man’s business suit
A tuxedo, a blouse, a shirt, a jacket
Graceful lines, sophistication, something chic
Classy, not gaudy or garish
Elegance means gracefulness, refined,
A rich smartness, something unusually uncommon
Some people are elegant in their manner
Their attitude toward others, their empathy and compassion
Elegance means someone or something classy and tasteful
In your life, goodness has its best role,
You made being great looks really very cool,
Your success is cherished even by all fools,
Your kindness is used as an effective tool.
.
You are more pleasant than being a dreamboat,
Your smartness is even deeper than a sugarcoat,
Your goodness flows easily from coast to coast,
In the ocean of wisdom, your intelligence floats.
Your affectionate smile, is soothing to many hearts,
Your compassion is beyond the fill of carts,
Your comeliness is yet to have any copycat,
Your goodness comes at the drop of hats.
May God's blessings always be in your life,
May your life be full of exciting laughs,
May your haters' efforts do a swan dive,
May you life be full of melodious jives.
Sad to comment
Just common sense
not so common
among public.
Most callousness
all over known,
says statistics,
what I have meant.
Sharp sense to own :
That’s specific.
Not much talent,
but need promptness.
That is basic,
also urgent.
Attain smartness
without smart phone.
Your wisdom causes their wiseness to drown,
Intelligence stands on your head as a befitting crown,
Your smartness wears your enemies endless frowns,
Your greatness is now what is the talk of the entire town.
More handsome faces than yours exist only on papers as clowns,
Your smiles always make your face serene like a pretty lawn,
Your kindness is what many wears as their survival gowns,
Your goodness is unique there's no way anyone can get a clone.
The secrets of your success is beyond flying their drones,
God has priotized you for great things right from his throne,
Sadness will never land in your home no matter how it is thrown,
Enemies have given up on your chase 'cos they know you're favour prone.
You strive on his path so as to be counted worthy when the trumpet is blown,
God speaks wonders into your life as if it is a loud voice into your phone,
His love for you he daily expresses using a gentle tone,
His assurance to you is that, to a burning lake of fire all your sins have been thrown.
If there is a need to know what goodness really means,
Then that's when the purity of your heart needs to be seen,
And the reason why greatness has clung unto you since your teens,
So, anyone not giving you credence for your brilliance is committing nothing but a grave sin,
The vivacity in your smiles is enough panacea to wake up dead emotions,
The sparkles of your handsomeness cause affectionate commotions,
You exhibit intelligence as if smartness is on your exclusive promotion,
You effortlessly dish out wisdom as an off the cuff donation.
Success daily flows into your home like an endless river,
The reason why your level of greatness still has no rival,
'Cos your longstanding achievements are what others are just celebrating as their new arrivals,
That's the extent to which your accomplishments are making others to quiver.
May each day of your life be filled with overpowering happiness,
May you be blessed with good health in awesome plentifulness,
May God's abundant blessings surround your home in astounding exclusiveness,
May you live long in spectacular richness.
Transcend Fear and Anxiety
FEAR and ANXIETY
enter mind endangering efficiency
acting awfully against analytic approach
Try to transcend with tact and competence.
Oblivious solution lies in dependence on self-confidence.
Out of fear, don’t lose your gear.
Value your skill driving out anxiety.
Chase fear challenging nervousness causing anxiety
More you are anxious, more you will miss.
Anxiety all around far or near, known or unknown.
Fear may attack severe or mild, off and on.
Overpower anxiety through your smartness.
Break claws of paws of awe : You are awesome fearless.
The Missus is angry, Rufous told his wife.
Are you sure? She sounds like that a lot.
Her husband just flew off with the babysitter.
That young thing! What? His wife was outraged.
I think so.
The wife grabbed the binoculars.
That’s not the babysitter; that’s his son!
His son looks like a girl, Rufous said.
I have told you this time and time again.
Male peacocks are the pretty ones.
The plain ugly brown ones are their wives.
Rufous did not want to acknowledge his wife’s smartness.
So he kept looking, hoping something would happen to validate
At least a tiny bit of the story he fabricated about the neighbors.
His wife smirked, knowing exactly what her husband was doing.
When you commit a mistake
Again never at all repeat it
For which put a proper brake
By using your wisdom and wit
If arising loss gives heart-ache
Before God, to pray, you sit
Calmness when joins with kindness
Godliness admires their friendliness
Smartness is promoted by awareness
When you work with commitment
Success is bound to occur
Your heart's full involvement
Will give to your goal succor
If you help World's development
You are surely an agony-breaker!
Goodness is good is for who
Goodness is framed only for few
Good is never as common
Goodness in good always woven
Good for one bad for another
Food for one poison for another
Intention of many towards good
May even see other's blood
Commonness in good is foollishness
Selfishness in good is smartness
Innocence in good sees own blood
Good friday is good for who
The sphere is just as daring manoeuvers
Skillful tactics making you mover
No matter the hardships more or fewer
Smartness is there to keep you cooler
Magnate, here, is a consumer
Using the world as a humor
Having every bit of exposure
Gets over to those in his closure
Ruling the world over and over
Conquering the whole and becoming the owner
This is the life to the controller
But how come this be the world of sober
He lives according to his own ruler
Who knows what life is going to be sooner
So he makes the world and himself newer
Because he knows what’s in near future
Television's Funster's
Two of my favorites
The Addams Family and the Munster's
The Honeymooner's- with Ralph and Ed
Their still on late at night
Fun to watch- 'fore we go to bed
The Odd Couple- a comedy treat
It is certainly odd
Oscar so messy, Felix so neat
Fred, Barney and Dino the dinosaur
Got to love the Flintstone's
I must have watched them a thousand times...or more
The Little Rascals- all of the gang
Spanky, Buckwheat, Darla...
Oh, and how Alfalfa Sang
When it comes to smartness- Abbott was the worst
Costello was the genius...
He wrote- "Who's on first"
The smartest man to play his part
Obviously, it has to be Don Adams
He was "Maxwell Smart"
The funniest lady of them all
The one that I love
I Love Lucy's- Lucille Ball

I dream a world of contrasts and evolution
Bold smartness and resolution
In so much as:
Flat things are flat for all people,
and shades of gray are not adulterated by photoshopping.
Facts and opinions regain their identities.
Deception is an accident not a strategy.
Trust is earned.
Empathy is respected as a strength.
Impulsiveness once again is the domain of toddlers,
not an asset of adults.
The racial spectrum achieves a balance and cohesiveness
unachievable by Versace or DaVinci or Trump.
Our differences are assets we share.
Ideas are guided by compassion and wisdom,
and triumph when they find their words.
I dream a world of contrasts and evolution
Bold smartness and resolution
