Here's how:
Love now
Be still:
Just feel
Joy jumps:
Cheer comes
Glimpse grand:
Dear friend
Faith keeps:
Fond leaps
Hope scopes:
Fine cope
Love lines:
Spread fine
Trust truth:
Prize proof
Sweet stakes:
Cheer makes
Live light:
Sound flight
Taste times:
Rouse rhymes
Quest charms:
Apt arms
Sound spice:
Be nice
Word wise:
Upsize
Work words:
Highs heard
Pierce purge:
Sweet surge

Hamlet Place, ACT
And now the trickles ripple rifting
through the hues of the sky—confetti!
The words of my mouth are paintings;
a projected splash all over—frantics!
Whether they drag down God's face
blaze out streamlights—candlelights
pin a billion sunrises into a stiffened day.
How over-good—worthless crystallites?
When they fall on mangrove skies;
borrowed zephyrs compress—upsize;
explode into sands of mustard seeds—ripe!
Germinate tons of thorns—stars—torn
prickles—squeals—resounds—muted cries;
the act of the hands, when they try and try
to seal the width and pit of the mouth—'unrise'
head's cap size—safeguard the crown—discrown.
How over-good—worthless crystallites?
The River births—your River mouth—'silverlites'
the tributaries—tributes—waterfalls —silver bird—
the screeching lines—over-stretched verse;
voice box machines—the echoes—out loud;
on the stainless-steel wall—a still pass
into dwindling star flaps—eyes lashed
How over good, all these worthless crystallites?

Bitter gall upsize
For folly you prize
Native of worry
In your sad story
Plunder with lame vice
In sorry surprise
Lean on naked woes
That cast painful shores
Touch of vile bad luck
Denial feels awestruck
You can do much more
If only you store
Come to terms here friend
Do make impact trend
Rise again and fight
Dare to do what's right
Earn then your free lunch
Work the number crunch
Each man must dare pay
For fare and for play
He who digs a pit
Must bear life's harsh hits
Dare to attend gall
With a wake-up call
Pain is a sure sign
To forge wise align
When darkness floods round
Find shelter most sound
He falters can rise
Heed truth to be wise
To deny the truth
Ply ignorant proof

My Love
When I love you
Like comes beside you
Never shall it rise above you
Because I’ve come to love you
I will stand with roots
Because with you
I plan to grow
I hope you know
I will travel though any weather
To help you
Together you and me can pull though
Actions it will not be the only thing that resembles
The love I shall reflect upon with you
Mentally I shall connect to
Because I’ve come to love you
Hard times want be only yours never again
Now you can take hold of a humbling hand
Secrets want have to be held within
Because now you have a joint mine that would easily understand
To see a smile upsize your chin
Would be scheduled into my daily plans
Because I’ve come to love you
Beautiful, ugly, woman, child or man
For my love don’t comprehend
Because my love don’t see
My love take emotions
In start to put them into motions
Place them into me
Than I begin to reach
Because I’ve come to love you
