Mind Manipulation

The time has come to drop the  mask
and see if my rhymes are up to the task

I desire to create some beautiful rhymes for these sick times,
illuminate these streets with some tasty treats.

I've been to heaven, been to hell, and Jesus,
do I have stories to tell.

My subjects vary, from the esoteric to the scary,
the mesmeric and my luminary.

I present myself with eloquence and vehemence,
not entirely unjustified in my defence.

But really I try to focus on love, that's why I'm here,
that's what I shove.

I don't know much about this domain,
so if you can contribute/collaborate please remain,
and feel free to navigate while I entertain.

I'm open to advice, your voice and topics of your choice.

Of poems, I have about seventy, with a combination of solemnity and levity (not much brevity!)

Current plan is to drop a rhyme a week, but you know yourselves, more might leak.

No poem will be dropped without an illustration, because I'm only interested in total mind manipulation.

Some lovely women are going to help me with my mission,
with their divine illustrations and crazy vision.

So if you're averse, reverse and we'll be none the worse.
But if you want to come in, swing in and let us begin.

If you're a fan, react and share. But also, beware.

Because from now on, it's just pure expression, no repression. Peace.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
