Masterpiece

God had a idea and set his plan in motion
the dust from the ground he looked upon was his notion

God needed someone to live on the earth which he created
he needed it governed and flourished and the plan inflated


God picked the dust from the earth and formed a human masterpiece
he looked upon of what he had done and knew it was of great genius

Man was the name God called him without any hesitations
strong with pure masculinity  for Man was all God's intentions

aromas of the dust from whence Man came while tilling and soiling the earth
Man made preparations for the life God gave him and with strong hands Man 
built his hearth

masterpiece of stature with inner and outer great strength
leadership Man  was given and s soul for recompense

heart and mind is Man's  forte
two weapons he'll use to advance and not disgrace

knowledge and wisdom is imbedded in so he can produce his own facility
Man will touch and the feeling will leave a sense of security

his eyes will pierce and embrace with all intensity
his voice roars of passion with words spoken of eloquence and force
Man will not deter from whom he is He'll let nature run it's course

his stroll is of such confidence and movements that deserves respect
relentless to what will weaken him mysteriously inside his secrets are kept

a masterpiece is presented of mystique and so refined
God made man in his image the brilliant masterpiece of his sublime

Relentless

i fell in love at a young age
not knowing if we both were on the same page

i took up a adult responsibilities to earn everyone's trust
unfortunately not knowing it would end up in a bust

i was trying to uphold my vows with the upmost respect
in doing so i failed and that was hard to except

the desires of my heart no one could understand
how it was pulling at me and everything else was going bland

rendering myself relentless is all i could of done
living in the shadows of judgments i sometimes felt alone

sometimes i felt as though i was on display 
to be provoked at any cause because down the line i was known to pay

i had an uncontrollable thirst for ambition beyond any admission
i had no time for baby steps of any virtue of patience

my willingness to be in front and pushed to the back
only left room again for my nature to be attacked

trying to build my career and progress with all success
has left my loved ones with so much to grasp and suppress

don't say i'm selfish and that i don't care
i have a urge to persevere and that i won't spare

relentless to whatever people thought i should do
i regulated my own life and came to terms with all truths

my personality has been targeted for being pushy and too forward
if i succumb to negativity anything i do will not be warranted

every action that i gave i received the wrong reaction
i stepped out of all those situations to gain my self-satisfaction

mistakes were made i regret them
i walked to fast i finally learned to crawl

Simply

bring no flowers and don't tell me a lie
i don't want deception and flowers will die

simply say hello and maybe give me a gentle handshake
don't tug at me physically or you will come off as flake

simply converse with me for a minute maybe we can talk about the weather
it's an opening line to make the words flow better

simply intrigue me with your humor in good taste
you will hold my interest and i won't be in a haste

simply compliment me with no overbearance
we both looked at each other and room was made for clearance

simply take me to your comfort  zone so i can ask you many questions
i like to know what makes you tick without adding too much suction

simply hang on to my every word and direct your eyes to mine
it's a sign of learning and keeping the attention span alive

simply hint to me your enjoying my company for just this little while
you don't have to hold my hand just give me a sincere smile


simply this simply
the game is not hard 
simply takes a little tact
