Sanity is far from my reaches
Tremendously pondering on
About the California beaches
Before dusk and after dawn
I remember you loved me long ago
Last December of yesteryear, I was a prisoner of woe
How could you betray me so?
You know, I learned to let go
Hatred harmed me in ways I can’t quite fathom
Hope healed me for days and no longer so numb
Stuck here alone though…and so it goes
On my own kind of vibes and glows
So, it goes
The feelings grow and my true colors show
Who knows…
Where the wicked wind will blow to and fro
I know I’m stuck here momentarily…
This lifetime is temporary thankfully
I’m aware that I’m dying alive tonight…
Let’s fight with our might for peaceful sunrises — boy, what a sight
TOILING THESE TOUGH TIMES
Trumped towers tilting
Towards treacherous times:
Tenacity taught:-
Today’s themes, true trials:
Thundering tribulations,
Tremendously testing:-
Your optimistic ways
always seem to brighten
my pessimistic days.
You know exactly what to say
to bring a smile to my face.
You are my soul's inspiration,
and your personal interpretations
about life and it's sweet sensations
make me appreciate more all
of God's creations.
This is why I cherish you
so much.
Your optimistic ways
always seem to brighten
my pessimistic days.
You make me think deeply
about God's Amazing Grace.
You make me better understand
if there's a will God will always
make a way.
I treasure your idealism.
It always sweetens my disposition.
You showed me how to make me listen
to your deep intuitions.
This is why I cherish you
so much.
Your optimistic ways
always seem to brighten
my pessimistic days.
You have helped me tremendously
to find my way through this journey
known as life.
A REFLECTION ON WEATHERING TODAY’S STORMS OF LIFE
As I awoke, the Breaking News
Was death-frightening:
“Treacherous Winter Storm Arriving!”
“Expect Single-Digit Low Temperatures!”
“Days Of Ice And More Than 6 Inches Of Snow!”
“Power Outages Are Expected!”
“Most Forms Of Transportation Will Be Affected!”
“This Threatening Storms Is Expected
To Reek Havocs Never Seen Before!”
Hearing these headlines, my heart rate
And blood pressure rose tremendously:-
Obviously, I felt afraid and hopeless.
Then it dawned upon me where I was!
Nothing here in America could wreak worse hazards
Than today’s bigoted, oppressive, political climate:-
Thus, I relaxed, got up, and prepared myself
For another day of God’s survival navigations
Through nature’s and human nature’s trials,
And weathering tribulations, preceding my
Springing overcoming of these hazards
And their oppressive wintering trials:-
Indeed, glory be to our liberating God:
For every wintering time in our lives,
He will send his springing healings:-
2025,
oh wish I could say you were perfect,
but with the weight in my heart,
and this tears that fall tremendously,
I fail to say so,
how I wish you would have been even a little easy on me,
easy with the pain,
with the disappointmets,
easy with the losses ,
then perhaps I would still laugh,
still I'm glad that I made it into this year broken but alive,
you were not the best but in you came out reflections,
phases,
and you taught me self love,
2026 please come lighter,
brighter and the most important happier.
It might be a tragedy,
Might be something unethical,
Might be a disaster,
Waiting to happen somehow soon.
It is no bigger than a cyclone,
But it overflows tremendously.
It might not be just a slaughter,
But it might be something physical yet emotional.
There might be a paradise,
There might be a homicide,
There might be a genocide
In the mind of an idiot.
There might be blood on white satin,
It might be chaos within;
Something so cynical,
Yet it looks like a miracle.
This is the breakthrough,
From the surface to the veil underneath.
I wanted to tell you this secret for so long,
You might know it from the very beginning!
Because of global warming
The ice caps are melting
Much faster and it's falling
By the chunks causing
Sea levels to rise tremendously
And creating devastating flooding
Because the water has to settle
Somewhere, it's starting to remind me
Of the movie WATERWORLD and
How those people had to live/
Look at me I’m Donnie T!
Unbound by reality
Out of my head
But my hat is bright red
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee
I have a great slogan
I’m pals with Joe Rogan
(Great guy. Very short.)
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T!
A real stable genius
I have a yuge
(don’t judge my hands)
(they’re quite large for a man)
Say’s me
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee
Work for me you’ll sign an NDA
To protect my big fat…HEY
(we all do it…right?)
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T!
So believe me, I know
Just because I said so
You’re stupid when you don’t
And a loser if you won’t
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T…ee...ee
We are just so very great
“They” however do not rate
(They’re eating our pets after all)
It’s me
I’m Donnie T!
Don’t you believe the covfefe
They try to make me look messy
Tremendously fake news
Watch Hannity for your views
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee
All I do is make deals
The bestest great deals
(Tariffs and Crypto--How can we lose)
It’s me
I’m Donnie T!
You know China’s just not classy
But my daughter Ivanka is so sassy
I’d date her if I could
But Melania said I probably should…..not
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T…EEEE…EEEE!
Absolutely being
charming daring every
favorite genius has ignited jesting kindness
literally making never optional
progress quite remarkable staying tremendously
under vigilent wisenheimer xenogenetic yearning
zealots
The nonstop negative news or publicities on Haiti
Hurt tremendously and disturbingly
The relentless or constant bashings of all Haitians
Twinge and twist my heart like cancer patients
On their death beds, who are resigned, hopeless
Penniless, helpless, and spiritless.
Haiti needs a mega break from all the powerful parasites
That are still exploiting our precious resources at countless sites
While concomitantly exploring and impoverishing our peasants
Our innocent siblings who perilously work for crumbs and cents.
It is time that all truths are spoken or be told
It is time that we unearth, unfurl or unfold
All vile plots so the world can witness the premeditated lies.
Papa Noël is a well designed invention in disguise
At Christmas time, the hurts are excruciating
And the misery is objectionable and nauseating.

my legs welcome the warmth of the Kansas sun
bird with a screech makes weird noises
sweat bee hovers close to my left ear
I swat at it with my notebook
clouds are moving tremendously slowly
an asymmetrical opening shows light blue sky
this peephole is surrounded by brilliant white
have clouds always been this pristinely graceful?
dog brings up empty water bottle to porch
he loves the crackling sound against his teeth
another dog in the distance takes his attention for a second
clouds move a bit faster, I watch, amazed
a wood chopper, car engine and loose shutter sound in the distance
barely perceptible noises, yet I hear them clearly; I have dog ears
small tweeting noise brings my attention to my elm tree
the bee is back, teasing interested dog who tries to catch him
October day, red and orange leaves, lovely heavenly clouds
waving limb with three tiny leaves, scratches against porch
clouds have formed another portal to heaven
I would be more interested if I was not already there.
In this chaotic , crazy world in which we live
everyone is often subjected to unpleasant feeling.
Unfortunately , we live in the new world order,
in which the machine is the predominant
factor , which defines every activity
of our life.
Sooner than later, human will be utterly
enslaved by the machine.
It is tremendously tough times for those
creators that belong to minority
because of the stereotypes which prevail
in our society.
So, on thing is clear to me, everyone
who is a creator of Art
should be only subjugated to God...
If COVID lockdowns can turn the Moon cold,
Colonizing it oh, what not would hold.
Having ruined Mother Earth,
Should man make Moon his hearth?
The satellite’s far too fragile a mould.

Poet’s notes: COVID lockdowns may have proved disastrous for the economy, they benefitted environment tremendously. An ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) study reveals that lockdowns caused the Moon to turn cold. Yet, Moon and Mars are under the radar of many countries, and there lies the danger, this ditty feels.
Woe to pain in heart
Time ticks tremendously so
Torn apart from the start
Engrained with patterns
In my mind frame, discerning
What is evil or good…
Clear as water here
Murky rivers and lakes flow…childish fears draw near
Naught lasts forever
Life here is temporary
A lot of kindness…
In this world of woe
Portrayed on other’s paintings
History repeats.
We all have our gifts
Unique and understanding
My empathy vibes…….
Ascend, comprehend
I seek not my end, but send
Relief on my torn soul..
If I numb my feels,
It won’t bring me chills for real
My eyes are of teals
Sensitivity —
It’s kills and breaks me sorely
Tremendously so
Don’t break me or else…
I’ll tear apart at the seams
Intrusive thoughts bleed…
Kindling kindness galore
I don’t feel unmerciful anymore
Trust in me confidently
Believe in me, reflect on me
