Blushing was the moon above us
as she whispered out my name
sexy with a sophisticated seduction
a presence driving me insane
she wasn't just the winner
she invented a totally different game
the birds whistled
the stars shone bright
it was heaven walking along the sea shore
with our feelings holding each other tight

O, to be sophisticated and suave
like the Cosa Nostra or the Sicilian mob
I’d travel the world, hobnob with kings and presidents ~
who would never have me as a permanent resident
I know the mouth
Of those family girls
Some of them are married
Some of them are separated
And those at home, and you guess
They are discussing a secret of a man
I teach you to speak
With sophisticated thoughts before your body
Confidence and secrecy are the main pillar before
And no matter what the consequences are
The man's risk is, he saw two things
Which is born with manhood
And consideration remains all his life
When it is needed, it is relationship
Without any restrictions or interests
And it does not matter where you or me
The important thing is honesty, understanding and consideration
And everything is beautiful in his time
And peace be upon those who return peace
And greetings of appreciation to sophisticated minds
And those who don't oblige my words
Every human being is free in your thoughts.
Some take your personal information
~ Others steal your identity formation
She laughs more than she cries
That does not mean she is not in pain
As integrity blends with elegance
Her flexible movements shows a path
It just her morals
She is determined more than she is weak
That does not mean she is not tired
As honour commits to trust
Her intellectual mind formulates a way forward
It just her values
She loves more than she hates
That does not mean she is naive
As thoughts are aligned with feelings
Her love grows deeper
It just her merciful self
She understands more than she complicates
That does not mean she is a fool
As imperfections are being acknowledged
Her acceptance leads to freedom
It just who she is
When old friends meet
Happiness crawls in
As we are once again together
When old friends meet
Sadness slips in
As time has cheated us
It was a long long time before we meet again
Before we are youngsters, now oldies
As the world has cheated us too
It was a long long struggle before we meet again
Before we are innocent twenties, now sophisticated sixties
Let's see. It's our first date
So let's talk about, uh, well
How about abortion? That'd be fun --
You know, maybe debate it or something
No, huh? O.K. Well, Trump! That's it!
Donald J. Trump. Do you like his
sense of humor?! How about his taste
in women, like, you know, 'Horseface?!'
Not your cup of tea, I see. Well, then
Could we maybe discuss critical race
theory? After all, I'm white, and you're
a half-breed, aren't you? -- What?!...
Gee. Whatever did I say wrong
to get so resoundingly gonged?
I am not sophisticated enough to wear black
Sure I can look at it from a distance
I can put tiny touches of it in my art
But I am not sleek or classy or elegant
Black is that
I am not mysteriously beautiful
Black is
I am not presidential like black.
I am not polished or patent-leather.
I am not silk or satin.
Certainly not black
Sure black and white I can do
Hounds tooth checks, sure.
But piano black? Gloss black? Sleek black?
You are barking up the wrong dog.
A sophisticated wit,
that's what's used by those who twit.

Life is complicated and sophisticated
Are you feeling sometimes the unwanted
The clouds are flying onto the filed unyielded
We have to overcome our worst fear fabricated

Sophisticated
Simply superb in sensitive situations
Obviously oblivious to opulent objects
Particularly passionate pondering petulance
Happy at home having guests in her humble haven
Irresistible impressions of immaculate elegance
Softly silently sophisticated in simplicity
Touching tenderly tremendously tempting
Image always impeccably inviting imitation
Curiously calm at calamities culmination
Always appreciates affectionate attention
Traveling together tasting tempting tidbits
Effervescent emotions energizing everyone
Diamonds diminished displayed dangling delicately

Once, kids’ eyes lit up while outdoors creating manual, playful scenes
Stories performed by Puppeteers were great fun for young and old
Today, they all seem mesmerized; eyes affixed on video screens
With parents juggling hectic hours, warmth is vaporized from abode
Trending now is video games; spawns of machines have taken over
Hearts and minds made as cold as steel, make you wonder what lies ahead
I doubt the creators are satisfied to have found a four leaf clover
As in the case of Frankenstein, don't be surprised if they try to raise the dead!
Let's face it, we live in a world of greed! Don’t expect a ban on video games
After all, they say, each one comes labeled with a “suggested” rating!
So, it’s up to parents to guide; make time to preview same
As this sophisticated pied piper, for a while, in our homes, will be staying!

For Yasmin's "Video Games Contest"
I try so very hard
Not to let it shows
But the love in my heart
It just over flows
She’s so wonderful
Like a dream come true
And I like talking to her
But she doesn't have a clue
I don't think she understand
How sophisticated she are
She’s like a beautiful morning
And a wishing star
How she has touch my life
She will never knows
It’s a secret I will keep
And never let it shows
I wish to cook her dinner
And talk during our meals
And just get to know her
Maybe tells her how I feel
And just say to her
How truly special you are
And on my darkest night
you are my brightest star
So much I want to say to you
But I’m so afraid too
Because I’m so simple
And not sophisticated like you
We all have dreams
That leads us separate ways
And our destinies are calling
But we don’t know what it says
Where ever we will end up
Or how ever far apart
You would never know
Of this love in my heart
I wonder if you know
How much I admired you
And how sophisticated you are
In all that you do
You are an amazing person
Just look in the mirror and see
having you as my friend
completes a very big part of me.
