I'm tell'n you bloke, it ain"t no joke,
specially if he's a big and red, and a
Joey's dad..who got him quite
Already mad! Ya may well think when
He's hunkerd down, real low against
The ground, just munchi'n on veg
But geez he's got some edge' so if
You think to applick.? To his ribs a stick?! I advise ya nooo! Do not do that Joe.!!!
Some stand at eight feet nine.' And when
They are in a bind.??? First they tilt the head. Left eye, right eye..Just to sort'a say- see' what'cha do'in ta me.? Then its
Up he'll come skin tight like a drum.' And even
If your name is fred.? Well its now to late to get
To the shed..Its time to ( suck it and see.!)
Immediately...Just in time the earth quake
Happened.' All the bloody roos; just wen't scatter'n God always comes in time, ya know? even saved on a dime, as it goes '
Arms entwined
Body pressed against body
Lips engaging lips
Thighs in a bind-
I cannot turn away- so -
Instead, I say, " Will you two, please get a room"
You turned your back while facing towards me
A spin like no other, right out of my life
Comfort vanquished in a minute of pain
With every moment that passed, my heart sank
My tears spiked the ground that you dared ti walk on
No amount of conversation could stop this
Running behind someone that never turned back
Left in complete loneliness & despair
Mental images playing the same tune
Some fresh start, a series of old habits
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who
are cruel, but because of those who look on, and do nothing."
Quote by _ Albert Einstein
My nature is that of a gentle soul,
yet, I face my life with apprehension;
for some that I meet have a combat goal,
they offer antagonism tension.
And my best plan is to just surrender,
for I seek no domination splendour !
Often, people come with hostility,
for a war- so I pirouette away;
can I make a friend with civility ?
Perhaps in time we can embrace one day.
And I believe that the truth is the best,
for a liar is an unwanted guest !
I wear my scars with great humility,
and within me is great tranquility !

World look at me not I feel bad and God has not washed me
And world don't look at me now
I am in an unwilling mold needing reshapened
World close your eyes shine free to speak the truth
World close your mouth speaking not hurting me
This I know you for my God made me clean
He has washed away my sins, now I'm born again
See my beauty from the outside in

A Soft Response Turn Away Wrath-
Ah, so gentle
I so do remember
Be at piece
just release
those in relinquish
when harsh words rain down on you
be gentle respond in forgiveness and love
when hoards of untruths confront you
when verbal confrontation creations hate and anqusite
a gentle answer
will defect anger
for in rebuttal if I answer in harsh words makes tempers flare
a gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare
Amen

Proverbs 15:1
Turn Away Dreams
Up late
Full of yawning
That was yesterday's dawning
This is now just on rewind repeat
How I hate the hours without sleep
Late mornings, later moonless shadowed nights
Unreasonable enchanted soured tasteless delights
Unyieldingly nightmares commanding attention
How I loved them once, adventure interventions
Was it thrice and so long ago
I just don't know
The fires used to be fanning embers burning
Now they're restless again emptied yearnings
I do them blind without question
I've spent all my dimes in past reflection
Face it, turn swift away
Age is now mere contemplation of the day
Playing with Line Gautier Face It

N-o reason to turn away,
E-ternal life lies ahead;
C-ries and tears shall turn
I-nto pure delight instead.
L-et not your heart turn away,
Y-our birth has brought gladness;
N-ineteenth day of June causes sheer happiness.
M-ake it to the journey's end,
A-s you travel in this life;
N-o reason to turn back,
D-o overcome the strife.
A-llow not your mind to fret,
P-lease God, obey His command;
A-lways abound in faith
T-oward the promised land.
The world is nearly as bad today as it was during the days of Noah.
People must turn away from their sinful ways and turn to Jehovah.
If people don't change, they won't live in paradise and that's not an exaggeration.
People must put an end to stealing, watching ****, doing drugs and fornication.
People must give up binge drinking and gambling because those are also sins.
If people don't change their ways, they won't live in paradise, they won't win.
People must stop killing, raping and committing other crimes.
People must change or they will be harshly judged when Jesus returns at the end of time.
Jehovah God is my master and my friend and he loves and cares about us.
But he won't let people live in paradise if they're people who he can't trust.
if you belives
you will recived
just do good deeds
help other need
earn your way for that day
well done
NOONES TURN AWAY
v1-
every time you turn away my heart it crumbles like a cake its unlike anything
loving you it hurts so damn bad it makes me feel so ****ing sad ,so ****ing sad
why cant you just be here with me it hurts me just to even see ,to even see
you with another man thats not me cause id like to be the one you see ,the one you see
chorus-
cuz its a battle of the best a never ending ****ing test
and i cant give you up on you
this love is so ****ing crazy its makin me so ****ing hazey
but i wont give up on you
v2-
and still you say you love me to but how can it be ****ing true
when all you want is everything and all I want is you
your smile stays within my heart when ever we're apart ,when ever we're apart
now at last i’ve found you come so fast arms around you now I’ve found a love to last
chorus-
but its a battle of the best a never ending ****ing test
and i cant give you up on you
this love is so ****ing crazy its makin me so ****ing hazey
but i wont give up on you
Is it my heart I break?
When I give and you take,
But what if I said no,
And turned away?
It hurts too much.
You say I’m so cold,
And I agree,
But let me tell you I’d always give my heart to you,
I feel our memories slipping away.
I’ll try to hang on to them as long as I can.
But you fell through my arms.
I couldn’t save myself,
But more importantly I could not save you.
All I can see now is fading memories,
Of times we used to be happy,
But I feel our time now is evaporating.
I wasent enough for you to love.
you must not
the moving cot
get in the llot
don't be mean
just clean
have lots to say
DON'T TURN AWAY
Turn away…
Far away from the ever streaming noise, rioting
The endless flow of useless chatter and rhetoric
Bombarding in attempt to arrest my psyche
Seeking to break down defenses
Searching for a hairline crack!
The clamor, deafening; the surge, relentless
Grinding into senses, demanding notice!
Folding into my every waking moment
From dawn through the height of day
Ferocious, bold, they hang deep into night
Sleep comes slowly, yet at times brings no respite
Like ink they seep into dreams
Long after the twinkling stars are hid
By the expanse of a navy velvety sky
Turn away…
Turn away to welcome the silence
In midstream, day or night
I must tune into myself; turn away from constant din
Let them fall into vast emptiness
Fall upon the heap of useless chatter
I will listen to the silence; savor the music in my soul
Hear the rustling leaves on tree branches
Glistening in the noon day sunlight
Beneath cloudless baby blue skies!
avoid all evil
despite constant temptation
turn away from it
