Vanilla victories over inner wars,
Sisyphean speeches to oneself.
Tarnished trophies shoved in drawers,
endless errands placed on the shelf.
Purposeless projects of predication,
purport prisms of pellucidity.
Fathoms of frailty, falter the foundation;
left with inconsolable invisibility.
You don't see me....
you don't see me....
walking through life like a ghost.
You won't see me....
you won't see me....
alone is how I like it most.
Languishing lies, laughingly polluting,
crowing at my own incompetency.
Draining desperation, directly diluting
concentration and all confidency.
You don't see me....
you don't see me....
I'm here but I'm transparent.
You won't see me....
no, you won't see me....
translucently inherent.

The house made of glass
Feel naked in the human eyes
It is so bold it is transparent
The facade full of inspiring flowers
The lights in each corner and the waterfalls
over view the place of happiness
And the clear blue sky
Stays calm warmth touch
To the universe distance
Full of joyous presence
And shouting for great freedom.

Marry me tomorrow
Tomorrow is someday
Someday can't come soon enough
Enough I cannot say
Say how much I love you
You know, I know you do
Do tell me in your own words
In words I can see through

These transparent teardrops gently smack onto my table,
As I am writing a letter to the first love of my fable,
Praying for him to soon forgive me as much as he is able.

I always sought after to clear up the tittle-tattle
that continously throws mud at my character
Incessantly belittling and throwing sour grapes
created to denigrate with contempt and dishonor
thrown at my name.
God is so amazing, so amazing he will not leave us
nor forsake us, He will constantly bring us out of
our tests.

It amazes me how some of these human forms feel they are masters of decorating words to get something they desire.
When they are doing there so called skill they are not aware how transparent they become. But it will never pass by the 'some of us' who only need to take one look to see exactly what they are.

( upon hearing the expression: "I can see right through him". )
No one simply takes up space,
light bends merely stabbing the dew,
and I've never heard of a transparent race,
unless God's creating them- even new.

He deserved all our votes and said why,
But attention was drawn to his fly;
He'd left it unzipped,
So one voter quipped,
"If you can't manage that, then goodbye."

EMBARRASSED
Our limit of endurance
Doesn't always show appearance
Sometimes our often ignorance
Doesn't give us reassurance
So it surely is apparent
That we may be incoherent
When we know our way is errant
And we are much too transparent
We end up in a cluster
At the smallest we can muster
Or we begin to bluster
About our losing luster

Revealing sacred moments, rare and sweet
Fostering new blessings, makes life complete
With someone who will understand and care,
Transparent hearts being hearts that share.
Fostering new blessings, makes life complete
Richer, fuller the life of one who so befriends
Transparent hearts being hearts that share
With openness and clarity friendship blends.
Richer, fuller the life of one who so befriends
While trust is nurtured through confidentiality,
With openness and clarity friendship blends
Lives of purpose, purity, and mutual morality.
While trust is nurtured through confidentiality
With someone who will understand and care,
Lives of purpose, purity, and mutual morality
Transparent hearts being hearts that share.

I’m normal, get over it!
I don’t wear women’s clothes
Pout my lips or paint my toes
I don’t eat twenty cakes a week
Or do a selfie and show my cheek
I haven’t tatts all over my body
And crying all day’s not my hobby
I don’t have a fashionable label
I don’t believe all I watch on cable
I wasn’t bullied at secondary school
I don’t wear sandals and a cagoule
I never show my feminine side
My hard drive has nothing to hide
I haven’t got a flag as far as I know
I don’t like people who call me bro
I’ve never kissed a man or petted a pet
I’ve done nothing I really regret
I haven’t a beard, I like a shave
I’m perfectly normal, my name's Dave

Looking in through a window
of my home,
I see a transparent me
looking back.
Other windows across the room induce
a sudden attack of mortality.
Me, seeing me.
But nothing seems wrong.
The reflection is sincere and complete.
My past is my past
and nothing is meant to last for long.
But still,
the future is strong!
A legacy remembrance may be achieved
in a poem,
or a song.
So the most important thing
is to write,
or to sing.
THAT is strong!

I am a grain of dust;
My live was craved from stone;
I am a speck of dirt;
My body mode out of clay;
My God kiss me, He breathe His breath in me;
Now I am a living soul;
My final place I want to go;
~
I just want to go to heaven;
I am made of terrain earth;
My insides birth sin worth;
I am a speck of dirt;
My body model of moisten clay;
While along the way, My Savoir died for me;
That my truest self my soul and spirit;
My rest in heavens hills;
~
and once I see, release;
I'd open mine eyes and see;
I'll be called, I'll rise and I'll walk down heavens golden streets;
AMEN!
