I am often underused and often underestimated
a zing of a thing that often goes unheard, unseen
ginger beer is a tonic unlike me it can't be grated
a powerful root so astute, they bring from overseas
The captain gives his orders but I see you Mary Lee
sitting in your cabin drinking tea and writing poetry
flotsam and jetsam are marked on the ship, but me
I float above the rest and so I heal you, Mary Lee
The imp skipped merrily hugging his Jack Daniel
the sun was too hot so he knocked on every door
looking for a bed for him and his invisible Faneuil
she opens it a peep and finds him on the floor
Mr. Gargoyle tie askew in dire need of ginger root
"Oh Dear!" says Miss Lee, your drunk but very cute.

Sometimes I think sometimes
is underused – for instance, Love
should be, at the least, Often (which
is ripened Sometimes, I think) –
better-yet, Always or Forever:
though Always and forever, seem
less than infinite (somehow sensing
an evolved heightened difference)
(Infinite, another dimension of experience
with potential for out-of-sight, out-of-mind
Always and Forever) –
but,
a moment-in-time, with the
right person, is definitely
pure Heaven!

Tick Tock Tick Tock, time can be a blur, we all need to enjoy each minute, each second that much I can concur, before I go on I apologize if my words are a slur..
Live life to the fullest, reduce any regrets you have, evolve be your best version, yes i know it can be quite a hard conversion , at all times be yourself, for long life keep good health...
Random this poem may be, words that I have typed most likely overused ,yet the action of the words underused, all in all make sure to smile, to laugh, to once in a while have a bath, conquer your desire, always reach higher, the next generation try to inspire, show them that incandescent fire, that they will definitely require and at the end of all that don't overwork, in essence retire...

I live not by chance but by my choice,
I live my way and rejoice.
I live not by making excuses but by changes,
For this I need mind processes never to compromise but always rearrange.
I live to be useful and not to be used,
Or be abused, accused, overused or underused.
I live for my life to be motivated and not manipulated,
Driving life myself to be stirred and enthused.
I live to excel and not to compete,
And live my life without conceit.
I live only to listen to my inner voice& live my life by my choice , Only on my terms and my choice.

Tempted to capture the wandering
Underused, vacant-veiled moments
That time throws asunder
Inside the down-spinning black
Holy space, hidden amazing in
Pure starry fields, flung loose,
Far-reaching, reality reversed;
Everywhere, anywhere,
Momentous no-place.
