octaves play a crucial
structural and
stylistic role
lowest notes fall below
the 20 Hz threshold
of human hearing and
can only be
measured with instruments
12 semitones
Sound frequencies range
from about 20 Hz to
20,000 Hz, which covers
roughly 10 distinct
octaves of audible sound
There are 7 full octaves
plus 3 extra low keys
, totaling 88 keys that
span about 7.25 octaves

doing things for a reason is

Don't get shot or ride in a car and never buy a two-story house
the only safe thing left to do is:
Write Poetry
I asked her un beso?
And then our lips crashed totaling all rationality
I asked her dos besos?
And then our lips became the missing piece of the puzzle
Our eyes collided again at the intersection
But no one is injured
Broken pieces everywhere but together somehow, we're whole
She asked me tres besos?
So, I leaned in again with no regrets, no worries, and just bliss
I know I can't afford to miss, this
And then her lips massage mine
Warmth, comfort, I'm high on you, and I can't leave without more
She asked quatro?
I responded si
Then in midst of war, stress, and indecisiveness we both jump off the cliff to grab whatever is next
Then we both lean in just enough to breath in, each other but not touch
Our lips are divided but I can still feel your touch, before we even kiss
Conclusion is to be determined
But we both know what is about to happen
She teases me and backs away
I chase her then retreat touché
We then let go of passion and grab each other
With nothing but love
My Lily, your dove
Let's go somewhere new and get high off each other just because
p.s. she is my addiciton I told her besame oltravez...

This is the U.S. Prez, we must remind
Thirty-two appendages is what I count.
Toes and fingers totaling twenty.
Lower and upper legs and arms equal eight.
Hands and feet rounded to four.
Is that what you count?
Is that what you found?
Or did you count
appendages more?
The world's population has toppled seven billion and
Many are dying each day, but more are being born.
There is a number totaling from beginning till now, and
Whatever that number is, it also carries a load of debt.
It is a debt because every human being has committed sin,
And sin had a humongous price tag which had to be paid.
The wages of sin is eternal death and none was able to pay
Such a price covering the wages of such vast numbers of people.
The estimated number of people ever born is 108,470,690,115.*
Since it was impossible for any creature to pay, God granted a gift.
Out of pure undeserving love, God gave the gift of his son whose death
Remedied the problem of sin for all people of all time and all eternity.
Most things that sound too good to be true are really not true, but in this case it is absolutely too good to be true. Nevertheless, without question, without, strings, it is absolutely true**

This morn I woke before the sun
The sky was dark and menacing
Just like the man who yesterday
Shooting his gun indiscriminately
Those innocent lives he took away
A massacre after a bright sunny day
Mass killings are now three hundred and seven
Of innocent souls who are now in heaven
In days now totaling three hundred and eleven
These evil creatures instigating Armageddon
There is nothing I can really say
but wish they’d take those guns away
On this deeply sad, traumatic day
My thoughts are in the USA
I send my love and hope and pray
that you will all keep safe today

Every earlobe ever pierced, minus non-pierced lobes, without exception
Quantified by head size, quality of piercings, and variety of earrings worn
Under ultraviolet light, utilizing reflective space, sound waves and distance
At appropriate intervals, measuring cut, clarity, carat, color and character
Totaling to a six figure sum, then divided by US bonds withdrawn from IRA
Increase the risk of screaming in agony, up to, but not more, than 50 decibels
On an operatic stage, bursting glass objects, as per fat lady singing, wherein
Numerical miscalculations of damage, therein, must be subtracted from the
Sum, so that all of said variables will not exceed the confusion of the bystander.

We were driving along a backroad
It was 4 am on January 22, 2014
Where snow had been drifting down
Without any attempt at playing,
I felt my tires tease me with a challenge
A slide toward the right side of the road
That slide was the good slide that was mirrored by
The second slide toward the left side of the road
Where the car was defenseless against a cliff
Where we road over and over and over
Flipping again and again, Totaling every part of the Subaru so that
We would never ride in this particular car again.
And, yes, this was a near death experience and when
I got out of the car and stood on the trampled snow
I raised my head to the sky and said Thank You God
In His Mercy, we were provided safety and security
In His Mercy, we were blessed with another day
In His Mercy, We discovered even more blessings!!
Many of you will probably say that I have a lot of nerve,
but Rodney King in my opinion didn't get what he deserved.
What Rodney King deserved was another beating
not a money award totaling millions.
When he finally was stopped, with the police he did not cooperate.
Have we forgotten that he was involved in a high speed chase?
Would you have as much sympathy for him
had he run down one of your children?
His passengers cooperated with the police in every way
and not one of them were harmed in any way,
but not Rodney King. He acted irate
and that's when the so called police brutality took place.
The police then beat the ugly right off the face of Rodney
and now he's never looked better from what I can see
since he's now enhanced his appearance with corrective surgery.
If you ask me,
police brutality
was the best thing that ever happened to ugly Rodney.

**Obsession**
His smitten intuition, disturbed by every suspicion,
Like an addiction, fueled aggression, he craved her affection,
What started as just muffled cries, ended in a fatal night.

eventually, you have to give back
for something that you took
when you're totaling up the ledger
numbers in your account book
the columns are too long
no mathematical symmetry
debits outweighing credits
if you took more than you need
I'm not saying
I didn't see you flinch
I'm not saying
you weren't there in a pinch
I'm not saying
you didn't budge an inch
all I'm saying
is it shouldn't end like this
