Feelings, like storms, disrupt the inner peace and leave the future uncertain
Hopes, like mountains, seen and far away to reach
Desires, like eternal, keeps running and stop’s nowhere
Thoughts, like lightning, shine, disappear, and keeps coming
Tears, like rains, clear the clouds and leave it’s
Sign
Life, like ocean meets river, people comes from various channels with infinite waves, some to live and some to leave

In the midst of striving with fate,
Searching for dreams that debate,
Here’s the reason not to be afraid,
To try harder and not hesitate.
They’re celebrating milestones in life,
The smile on their face shines, like winning in light.
With glittering eyes and curving lips so positive,
The dreams they’ve drawn are now real, fulfilled.
Crying isn’t always gloomy,
It means another life that shines brightly.
Thinking of a reason to live life to the fullest,
Genuine love as the light that brightest.
The laughter that brings others happiness,
The embrace that gives the feeling warmest,
A hug that touches the heart with faithfulness,
Eye to eye, sharing a love so pureness.
Every love in their flickering eyes,
Struggling sometimes, yet it’s the prize.
The mouth that opens unpredictably,
A heart that beats with excitement and warmly.
Realizing something—the want, not the need,
The so-called freedom offers another lead.
It’s about commitment, it’s about decision,
It’s about something in everything, bringing the conclusion.

"Shifts.."
In perception
Seem to happen
Unpredictably
Immediately as
Nothing appears..
Astoundingly
Without instruction
Without fanfare...

I hover outside the fringes of a distant crowd
a soft disquiet looming beyond the darkness
the moons of Jupiter sucking me into a shroud.
I choose to be pleasantly placid this moment
my eyes fixed at the faint glow of sunset
I will not be choked up in passions that torment.
Melding into an intimacy with the gathering dusk
I feel a chill leading me on a treacherous path
into a garden teeming with hyacinth and musk.
I fantasize a gnome will appear unpredictably
to make murky forecasts in its nave of shadows -
of a stilted, pained future in a poignant tragedy.
Shifting sounds of ocean waves unsettle me -
although clouds are churning under a windswept sky
I cling to the splendor of a serene life to set me free.

"A weary world
Rejoices..for yonder
Breaks a new and
Glorious morn.."
Joy arises
With the sun..
Unexplained
Unpredictably..
Appearing as
The seeming
Persistent
Weariness...

Six summer nectarines
Nestling snugly in a bowl,
Lovingly and caressingly
Selected and arranged there
As if by a lover's hand.
Cool, flawless skin,
Firm, sweet, succulent flesh,
Curiously sensuous cleft,
And lush fruity perfume
Awaken in me,
Suddenly,
Unpredictably,
A vaguely conscious semblance
Of forgotten longings
Unabated,
And remembered passions
Unfulfilled.

I wish you would understand,
When you lend a hand
To some homeless people due to emotion,
Some people will think you destroyed relation.
When you don't help out few hypocrite friends;
Who keep wishing you bad and thinking to cut your hands.
I wish you would understand,
Reality of life and continue to stand.
huh! Life is sometimes unpredictably and inexplicably.
When many people are up and downward
Looking for different things and finding them hardly.
When you stand to help few desperate people in your ward,
it is so good my dear , humanity is always priority.

CIRLCLE OF LOVE AND SELF-REGARD:
Here's now a real prevised time...
Some people only get you grimed,
Since you don't disclose your plans,
For them to know what's on your mind.
Even if you accept to at least opine,
You sagely do that through a mime.
And they see it as a very wicked blow,
That you opt and unpredictably throw.
Which makes them grow insanely cold.
Hence, they unwisely become your foes,
Who always try to kill your beautiful soul,
As they unnecessarily stand to oppose.
But they don't get to know your goals,
That you've kept in a well covered bowl.
Truly, as you work manificently to grow,
They assume you to be acting saucy,
Though you don't stay by being flossy.
Yet, whenever you decide to speak,
You're being tagged as a rebel on heat.
So it's good you've been able to decide,
To intelligently move in the best line.
With regard to your mind and heart,
By holding yourself deeply with trust,
In the circle of love and self-regard.

Pets are hilarious to watch on television
Their reaction to things are unpredictably awesome
Instantaneous and cute
Quite lovable to boot
They crack me up with their strange fetishism

predictable rise
who knows
deer in the road
traffic woes
blackened skies
amidst the hush
parting clouds
a dawning blush
weather forecast
rain or snow
either or
unpredictably so
what ever happens
inside this day
uncontrollably
we have no say

In confidence, at three-card Monte when I'd choose,
A complete mark, I found myself destined to lose.
Pulling rabbits out of hats I was just a twit;
As a rank amateur whose hand always got bit.
Many times, I stacked poker decks to force an Ace
But wound up, predictably, with red on my face.
Underneath shiny tin cups, I shuffled dry peas
But bumbled badly with high regularity.
"Predictable" my friends told me since I was ten
Because I lost so oft, even I said “Amen.”
Asked one time to saw a woman in half and then
To quickly put back her beauteous halves again.
Instead, I swept her up my arms, asking to wed;
Unpredictably, to me it was “yes,” she said.

She had an atrocious way about her
Even when things went awry,
She kept her anguish to herself
If I had the power to assuage my own feelings of worthlessness
To absolve myself of any perceived wrongdoings
I might enjoy her magical allure
Oh, wait, she has deemed me an auspicious opponent?
I have a tiny appetency to center my wagons and take her on.
If she was not so unpredictably worthy and self-confident
it would be an easier decision.
She comes toward me with her all-knowing power.
I shriek and run off in fright.

It was an uphill long climb, grueling for me,
up the precipitous slope called career,
unpredictably slippery and tenuously craggy,
I followed the winding contours with tenacity
leading me to the summit people called success
where the sky of aspiration seemed limitless.
It’s time now to hang up the boots,
begin the downhill descend on bare foot,
realize how difficult it is to climb down
the discarded forlorn track to nowhere
in the darkness of obscurity,
for the limelight has disappeared.
I’m just getting started
to embark on a lonely last mile journey
over the debris of defoliated trees,
once looking up to the seamless sky,
through the dwindling dale
where shards of time roll uncounted
to remote emptiness where the bells will toll
for me to start the ultimate voyage to eternity.

Sing to me my dear child.
Emit that lovely frequency that pleasures me.
Oh how I miss that tune
That comes so unexpectedly, so unpredictably
The one that makes the chirping birds jealous.
Oh yes my child
Let out that godly sound
The one that sparkle with your innocence
The one that reflects the truth, your truth
Share with me your tears
That brings heat to your face as your body dances uncontrollably to your music
Let me hear your story
As we eliminate the world from our cave of joyce
Yes my child
Take me on that journey of yours
and let's not turn into pillars of salt
by dwelling on our unpleasant history
Let's rewrite the rules
With the instrument of your tune

Our Love Language
We have our own love language we both share
A squeeze of the hand, a half smile, a glance,
It’s the unspoken passion within our romance
Like lava beneath that may unpredictably flare.
That magnetic attraction that began from the start
It drew us together, though obstacles abounded,
Devotion grew fast but we kept ourselves grounded,
Then after two years you surrendered your heart.
When mates have lived together as long as we two
There is bound to be thunder and lightning born
With a flood of issues that pour heavy, storm torn,
Yet we wait out mal weather until skies are blue.
This promise I give you until one of us must leave
I will share in your happiness, be there in your sorrow
No matter what life dispenses in days of tomorrow,
Should I pass on first I don’t want you to grieve.
Death is but a station in a more peaceful dimension
I will wait for you there and I will watch over you,
Should you get there first please watch over me too
For our souls have no restraints upon our ascension.
