It's always seems cool to be fair;
If YES isn't going to be a NO,
Before it gets so unaware-
How possible NO could twist YES to grow!
Look for dominance,
Doesn't define relevance
But stages violence.
It's never late to be so real;
If SMILE will not be staged as a fierce FROWN,
Before it lure mind to unseal-
How tricky FROWN could tag SMILE, a clown!
Dominance for look,
Doesn't get good minds on hook
But bluntly pierce shook.
It's ever great to be honest;
If TRUTH can dare lighten up blatant LIE,
Before it paints heart so modest-
How sweetest LIE could jail peaceful TRUTH's tie!
Dominance look for,
Competency to explore
Then turn its mentor.

Behold, My King.
He was standing before the throne.
He considered the one who knew of Him;
Why is my servant being stoned?
He had already told them that his kingdom would come.
They even knew it was in their generation;
Why was he not enthroned already?
Here comes another, standing before his servant.
Stephen, Stephen, Stephen!
The first Martyr.
Should he not suffer, just like the first martyr?
He never rested, but gave the message of the kingdom.
Here comes another!
Why was no one found to unseal the seven seals?
Where was my LORD, if not in the Holy of Holies?
Is he not on His throne already?
Behold the Lamb standing before the throne.
Was he not the one holding the scroll?
Alas, the Seven seals are unsealed.
Where is my king, if not on his throne already?
Behold the Lamb in the midst of the throne.
Behold, My King.

There is something we all have
Inside us, both good and bad
That can cause A splotchy stain
Of despair, sorrow and pain
Revenge and payback can unseal
Things that shouldn't be revealed
Trusted to be locked away
Where it should forever stay
But sometimes anger is the key
To unlock this mystery
Breaking all the faith and trust
Of golden friendships into rust
Or this hidden pinky swear
Is a happy joy affair
Full of laughter and good times
An occasion where you find
Decorations, food and fun
Friends and family have begun
A surprise that will WOW
Shocking someone here and now
With great news so wondrous
A day of love and nothing less
So depending on what's told
Whether it is big and bold
Or amazing and so kind
There will be a place and time
Secrets always find a way
To make or destroy someones day

Sounds of inaudible shadows fleeing for cover
They're on my trail; one path has led to another
The faint noises of their traffic rouse those nearby
Summer's night seems to be serene, but it is a lie
in the middle of the bustle of the busy streets
Let's explore some half-full mumbling retreats
The city's sound is reminiscent of a symphony
In this social junkyard, that might restore dignity
Art implies unseal mind, yet doubt can block them
In this era of polyester, I'm scanning for a gem
However, it's not unusual for words to come freely
Hair spilled shadows, never soaked so deeply
Airy grace of a picture clashes with the evil below
Deep seas are noiseless, and this we know
Art relieves anxiousness and stimulates creativity
When people see you, they may view positivity.

In the shade, I shrivel
in flowering cactus
crafting sloppy verse
below the scraggly
exhausted moon
warm reverberations of love
originating in the Jade Garden
nerves jangling in my true being
the magnificent encounter
of how to melt
this iron reluctance
dreams can feel
most real than actual life
every day as I unseal my eyes.

How does one define
great poetry? The best
rhyme in time? A musical
phrase that stays, reverberates
within the catacombs of a Devotee's
celestial sign, lubricating his every thought
as a priest's wine, sipping while he prays,
saturating his blood with the effervescence
of an all loving, redeeming deity; who knows
well His creation's need for affirmation, the urge
to write; so invented He, neat words in sympathy
to both inspire and delight –
Or is great poetry
more antithetical?~ no conscious effort
to unseal, for never prescriptively hermetical –
a sacrilege if sanitized like something
contrived for medically medical; enters the lull
like a masked virus in the night, awakening soundly
sleeping hands to their inherent flight~ a light
clicked on to feverishly, tappingly, divinely compose;
such all powerful driving might, pouring
out of every orifice I suppose: from one's mind,
eyes, lips, punctuating backside and
imperfect often grossly ventilating nose....

Reveal pure heart, our fears conceal
Else forgo love and light
Ego bound by the karmic wheel
Knowing not wrong from right
Flowing in bubbling mirth
Meek will inherit earth
Obviating rebirth

Diabolical laughter
coming from the hereafter
I feel absolute fear
As my guide brings me near…
You have some qualms? He asks.
I hand him my flask.
Anything else to reveal?
I watch the door slowly unseal.
I smell barbeque and burning meat.
This dream truly ain’t so sweet.

When I question you,* It is to raise the awareness of your mind,
Because we all are subject to descend to the lower places of life.
When I question you, It is to challenge the thoughts of your heart,
Because we all tend to dwell and sometimes linger in the secret corridors of our hearts.
When I question you,
It is to unseal the conscience of a wounded spirit,
Because human nature will often inflict us with
wounds and imprison our conscience.
May God awaken us all and illumine our dark areas.

Oh, how I blush, in appeal of your zeal
Enthralled in treasured memories of glee
As words not said, intimately unseal
Verses of love arousing latent plea
In caged lofty dreams, longing to be free
Flirting secretly, letting passions rise
Pulsing my vibes, sensing sensuous highs;
Alas, my youth then, had nary a clue
How to woo your smile, courting doting eyes--
Bashful to tell you, how much I loved you.

Some days we rise and others we fall
Some days we run and some we crawl
Sunshine will fade with cover of night
It shall return and show its light
Be sure to face each day anew
Yesterday is gone and today accrues
Face each struggle with grace and tact
Don't burn that bridge, in case you come back
Today is not lost, tomorrow still waits
There is still more time to unseal your fate
Look where you are and where you have been
Life is a challenge to face with a grin
Take each day and remember who waits
I will hold your hand as we open each gate
We are here as a pair, as one to stay
Keep looking ahead, and defend your day

Once, I asked mysterious life
All her secrets to reveal
Since didn't get any reply
Her lips had I to unseal!

No more cigs.
no more bad habits;
just a man with self-control.
At some point, we all need
to be managed by ourselves.
Perhaps if we’d all begun when younger;
fifty-something would, be a very young number.
With the wisdom of age, when we are younger;
we might climb mountains, when we’re older.
Or Trek the Himalayas and swim the oceans deep.
Run and win a marathon, not needing so much sleep.
Alas, mistakes made in the past,
Have caught up with us all and fast.
But, it may not be too late;
to unseal and to change,
fates.

I feel i must breathe out these flames,
Wreathe it on a sword and fight out these things
Cascading down these chambers of my mind
Searching to refine everything searing on my mind
Something to salve and clear the mind of mine that is blind
You know your time when notes begin to rthymn
Forming for you these visions that allow you to look through
My eyes
It grows with time until the blades edge is sharped and fine
Unseal and reveal everything in with the hymns
Storm the emotions while thunder cries
