Could calm surroundings, with no tempests, be called happiness?
Should pleasures of physique and psyche be happiness-zone?
Could, like money and wealth, this be brought out of craftiness?
Or is it, with virtuousness, in the fields of hearts sown?
Existential meaning and contentment as flesh and blood
Optimism in thoughts, words, and actions is like veins entwined
Challenges, though they resemble thorn bundles, are gladly hugged.
Goals and purposes, with physique and psyche, are aligned.
Smiles and laughs accompany learning newer arts and crafts
Humility, patience, compassion, and gratitude win.
With victory, laurels of value and virtue contracts
Thick and thin need not be to happiness a kith and kin
It dwells within oceans of self. Dive deep, and you will find.
In this quest, you will learn the art of being calm and kind
Earthly Reality
The day silently journey toward anonymity with eyes wide awake
while a plethora of resolute flora thrives in a remote wilderness
Sacred sanctuary surreptitiously shelters slithering startled snake
as teardrops shaped raindrops inundate crops with earnestness
Moonlight ascend unfettered diffusing a dazzling gloss at its wake
illuminates silhouettes of grieving spirits drowning in emptiness
Noble acts of love could nurture even the tiniest forlorn snowflake
capable in igniting that dimming sparkle of human virtuousness

TENDENCIES
too perfect

in thrall
to the moribund
superlative
to reinvigorate
the enfeebled
concept of genius
this exemplar
of grace and harmony

since antiquity.
a tapestry

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
Put aside all the worthless pride,
reawaken a conscience that's dormant;
adapt a concept that unites, not divide!
Chiding never scolds the faults implied,
the dark side can't be hidden internally;
no honor is given to the weeping bride!
How noble is it to declare untold truths with a fiddle,
liberating it from the abyss it was entrapped;
virtuousness is defined by a loyalty so irrefragable!
No valid answer is given to impertinent questions,
it's wiser to avoid goons than agree with them;
anger is the rage that boils only in wrathful souls!
Not listening is avoiding the philosophy of the learned,
crucible failures could have been avoided with shrewdness;
who revels now: the triumphant or the humiliated?
Absence of guidance, in the form of spirituality,
is harmful and deranges the character of the obstinate;
their fallacious temperament equals stupidity!
Commitment to strides is not fiddling with the hallow brain,
vanquish the erroneous thoughts and breathe easily;
defeat is not the final reminder that victory is hard to attain!
Life
Deep into that darkness learning
Life is for everyone
The incentive seemed happy spurning
Everyone is for life
I crave the unswayed, unimpressed upbringing
My aliveness, I could not awaken
Life is for everyone
Everyone is for life
And the agelessness never debating
Life
I remember I was acquiescing, remembering
I crave the instructional, inviting impermanence, temporary
Ah, distinctly I was condoning, remembering
But in the fact that it was dripping, temporary
It was slipping, ripping, gripping!
Reneging and reneging with my virtuousness
Nowness - nowness - nowness!
That moment my soul grew lonely
Life is for everyone
The abandoned auteurism acquiring
Back into my memories moralizing
All my soul within me inspiring
Life is for everyone
The sleepless school sermonizing
Everyone is for life
Life is for everyone, life

Forth you match to fight
I guessed by now you must have armed yourself
Nothing less assured you will win at the end
Keep the flame alive, ablaze you will be tormented.
I came to learned that’s how you won all from the past
Indeed you Won the good and step in the shadows of virtuousness
And, when it came; your story ends here, you stood firmly.
Befallen! Befalls you, it’s your downfall.
I thought of to cease it for you
I see no reason for my sympathy
You had no remorse for what you did and never regret over the past
And you did not seek to pardon the mischief lamented.
Keep fighting; soon you will forward yourself backward
And seek to refuge with your past in its honed remembrance.
For me the prudent providence has befallen on me from heaven
Next time you think of me, hell you see.
Words seem to elude me at this crucial moment
So I'll express this as unpoetic as possible
You aren't flawless, but their exist beauty in your weaknesses
And with the rejected and broken pieces of you, I desire a paradise that will have forever as it start
Beauty and brilliance in synergy
Virtuousness in a vision-veiled world
I'll be immortal to promise faultlessness
But in every dark moment ahead, never stop basking in the knowledge that this heart is decisively-incapacitated to bring you pain
I dream a time in tomorrow when you'll read this and smile with wordless joy
You've got me wishing you.
PATIENCE ENDURES!
The world and the people and the individuals that come together to populate universal thinking.
Society-at-large development is seen.
How come then everything seems to be slowing down extremely?
What is patience?
The entity and the government and the bureaucrats that make economy to provide industry and growth.
Topical to socialism.
Therefore, the theme becomes exploitation.
What is a virtue?
Capitalizing upon what is known.
Establishing a mundane focus to define new norms manifests those of God.
Seriatim to generations to come.
Thus, a frustrated point and transgression is always a rule of thumb.
Patience tantamount.
Perception inculcates the thoughts while
Asinine perpetrates conflicting insight
That is unfulfilling to what is right.
Is justice true to life formed…
Either to what is right or what is wrong? Does
Nondiscriminatory discriminates intelligence decorum
Cause virtuousness statue law which is
Efficacious to the frustrated point?
Why patience?

What is the point?
To make such a big hue and cry
Check inside your heart
and see what you fried
You shall reap
what you have sowed
Nobody will do wrong
unless you have done something wrong
All blameworthy plea their innocence
only God is the witness of their virtuousness
May be their ego rule over them
behind the smoke screen they dwell in helm
O Baby, please don’t cry, do some introspection
Before time is up and repentance becomes high and dry.
Snakes sometimes are simply sheep
sleeping, and easy to tame and keep;
but all this depends on the way they milk you
and the sustainability of all it too,
for when the scantiness winters come
their once virtuousness is released venom
from their one time sweet singing harp
as their virtue and their vileness overlap.
and the sleeping sheep
unwind like snakes in the rumbling wind.
and they become snakes in body and mind,
and these snakes rise like a swam of bees;
the distressed sheep; the sheep not at ease:
these snakes that are sometimes cheap,
sheer sleeping sheep
now wear darkness and recite dark verse
when winters come, the winters of scantiness.
Some folks always follow the winner
I didn't even have the courage
To tell you how you made me feel
Your laughter
Your body language
Way back then,
A wall flower.
you thought that I weren't good enough
Undeveloped beauty
Now, Virtuousness,
I am blooming;
People always follow the winner
The New Beginning
And far away from city life and murmour sings the forest.
Trees will grow out of streets shake asphalt off branches
In stillness the forest will cover land and aeons will pass in
tranquillity until small antlike people appears from caves,
hairy monster covered in ****. They will clear woods make
dwellings and they will kill animals in the forest plant, corn
and harvest death. And a society will arise one that knows
nothing of the past. When they have time invent love and
think they are the only one who has the capability to feel
empathy. Invent the alphabet write sentimental love songs
extolling their virtuousness, then cover the land in asphalt.
But as always, if you listen, the forest sings a dirge.
Here comes Death Galloping,
To take away the child in you;
Leaving behind lust and greed;
Here comes Death Galloping in his nimble steed.
Here comes Death Galloping,
To take away the virtuousness in you,
Leaving behind a corrupt baffound mind;
Here comes Death Galloping to the corner of the barathrum.
Here comes Death Galloping,
Along the chthonic alley of the human soul;
Today HE is killed by the reformist cognizance,
Here comes Death Galloping plugging in annihilation and revenge.
Here comes Death Galloping,
The Satan riding behind to take love away;
The preserved halidom now out in the bazaar,
Save your soul do not leave your ingresses ajar.
When we look toward sea, the mountains and the stars
We send kisses to our Creator from afar
Essence of Godliness is love from the very start
Growth's purity in all life forms from common heart
We admire nature and have feelings for friends too
There are many types of love, a source that renews
Stars twinkle in heaven and in lovers eyes as well
Infatuation seems much like a magical spell
A young mother’s face the radiant complexion
Her new babe under breast, thus still in incubation
A special bond exists between owners and pets
Unconditional love received of both, no regrets
Love is power to all life forms in their actions
Humans have moral choice in their chosen factions
True love in marriage two special devoted spouses
Virtuousness of women makes homes of houses
A man that respects womanhood makes a mother proud
Not drunken wife beater on the town getting loud
When you mix faith, trust loyalty and devotion
Then you have perfected the loving emotion
