O Sweet poem
Wielder of undisclosed tales
Conqueror of unyielding hearts
Comforter of inoperable minds
Consoler of inconsolable souls
Utterer of the most unutterable dictions,
You have kept secrets for poets
In the deepest corners of your heart
I implore you,
Keep a secret for me!
With your soporific charm
You have softened hearts of gallant men.
You have won beautiful maidens for Kings.
You have spoken for the mutest lovers
You have reconciled the irreconcilable
O Sweet poem
Keep one more secret for me.
With your powerful allure
You have heated the coldest of hearts
You have reached unattainable horizons
You have opened the tightest doors
No secret is too sacred for you to keep
I pray keep a secret for me.
COPLA 88 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World
Will the meaning of the Word be plain
And what is said not corrupt sense :
Contain the word
Words cannot come alive nor complain
Utterer and uttered entwined fence :
Sense the discord
In the beginning what was the Word
Does OM of all sounds utter Truth :
Mother of words
Aren’t white lies begot by discord
Between the Truth and the Untruth :
Can lies stoke words

A few word spoken by one in faith, a mere gesture of what one will do…words that declare
ones honesty or conveys one intention of what one will do or a cryptic utterances of words,
said inside a secreted place were only a few are ever permitted to go. In a Synagogue or
place of worship and spoken by two…vows that proclaim honor and a commitment that will
be shared by two. Some leaders place their hands on the most holiest book in the land and
speak words of honesty, integrity and service to the people and as a testimony of what they
will do…Never let any words proceed out of your mouth that you know not to be true. No
words spoken in a promise are just mere words, but once proclaimed as an action become a
broken promise and lie’s once those words of the utterer fails to deliver on those words that
were spoken by them to be the truth.
