What in the heavens were they designed to mean?

If you ask me, I'd have nothing to say
'Cos the blunt truth is I really have nothing to say
I might tomorrow, but certainly not today
Enough issues bugging my mind; sufficient for the present day
Weighing enough tones as to send me to my knees and pray
Sad enough a thought; let alone to say
The subject of my prayer...that I turn out not prey
Losing to predator in violent fray
I just haven't got no clue as to what any of these *words* is about
A fact of which I am humane-shamefully proud
Are they buried deep in lands to which I can send no scout?
Or perhaps the meanings are locked up in some lofty cloud
Access to which I cannot afford, maybe as a result of class or clout
Maybe 'tis because I'm some tiny fella in the crowd
This voice of mine doesn't sound like 'twill ever be heard; no matter how much I shout
It all just feels like grinding my face against a scrappy-rough stroud
I used to be so fresh and stout
Used to be walk with my head high; shoulders proud
But it all feels worse than desert-drought
I thought I had all it took, like the say; "perfectly endowed"
Now I run and yet cannot hide from this smoldering doubt
To total mind well-being, I was dedicated and vowed
But now my inner self is ragged as the appearance of a tout
Now my head is dropped and bowed
Feels like the next minute, I'll surely pass out
But I heard HIS voice saying;
“L-isten
O-bey your heart
V-alue each other's opinions
E-njoy each and every moment
L-isten
Listen to the heartbeat
Let yourself lose as the winds glide over the field of wheat
Allow the magical waters to cool of the heat
Rise up and eat
The yearnings and cravings of your taste buds and stomach to meet
Both collectively and respectively
O-bey
Swing so free; free enough to sway
Into the brand new day
Lightened by the sun's golden ray
Shinning down in blissful spectra; an ultraviolet spray
V-alue
Value the other's opinion
Regard not in your heart; neither him nor her as a minion,
'Cos ye both are to dwell under but one colorful pavilion
Caring for the other if wounded (like the Celtic King Arthur) in safe Avalon
Him or her borne on your shoulders; even to the heights of Zion
Weatherin' each stormy blast with the courage of the lion
Afterwards, together bringin' forth lovely multiple or yet a single scion
A picture that couldn't neither be drawn nor colored in neither pencil nor crayon
An edifice of far greater grandeur than the Californian canyon
E-njoy
............................enjoy
Wave off any and every; if there ever be such a temptation to coy
Each and every moment please do enjoy
Like a child holding his favorite toy
Enjoy each and every moment
Stand with the other upright that ye both shan't be bent
Never utter words you never meant
For the other hesitate not to spend and be spent
Go not to places you'd wish you hadn't went
Only safely together abide, peacefully under one tent
*****
J-ubilation
O-n
Y-ield
J-ubilation
Is it mere excitement?
Over some fleeting fulfillment
Is it some mental manipulation?
To which there exists neither explanation nor justification?
O-n
Y-ield
Let down your over-protective shield
Deactivate your unnecessary force-field
That you might feel first-hand the power I wield
All you have to do is yield

H-ue in
A-cknowledging
P-ositivities,
P-ossibilities,
I-mposssibilities,
N-egativities, and
E-xcesses
S-incerely, yet most
S-imply
H-ue
Such colorful cue
A perfect combo of glorious altar and attentive pew
Positivity from which to take queue
A blissful vantage-point view
One that remains ever new
Horizons of which I never knew
Oh the bliss of the early morn’ dew
That fuels all that grows, has grown and ever grew
None could escape; not even a minute few
A-cknowledging
Willing acknowledgement
Of the indisputably factual statement
That brings unprecedented increment
Replacing every old for brand new garment
Perfectly completed with glittery jewelry adornment
P-ositivities
Constant confession of positivity
That engulfs all negativity
P-ossibilities
Unfailing optimism
Gaining dominance over pessimism
Like a pyramidal prism
I-mposssibilities;
Counter-possibility
Counter-positivity
Pro-negativity
Pro-impracticability
N-egativities
Existent negativities
Tending to adulterate purities
With their viral impurities
E-xcesses
Unnecessary extras
Not covered in the mathematicallity of Pythagoras
Or in the vocailty of Iglesias
S-incerely
Honestly;
Most truthfully,
Never disingenuously
S-imply
Austerely,
Unpretentiously;
Most frankly
*****
F-aithfulness
A-ttention
M-otivation
I-nspiration
L-oyalty
Y-ieldedness
F-aithfullness
Dogged commitment, that is relentless?
Or committed doggedness that is equally tireless?
A-ttention
Is it just a moment's glance?
Or some steady, monitoring stance?
To ensure the success of your progressive dance
M-otivation
Which is it; positive infection
Or forceful extraction
Unto magnified projection
Talent and unique natural depositions
Those exclusive traits that hitherto; have awaited activation
Accurate in location, appropriation and application
I-nspiration
Which is it, fresh generation or stale rejuvenation?
Of dream of a seemingly dead (dying) nation
That yet sees herself as but a little parcel of habitation
Wherein humans in a handful; exist in co-habitation
L-oyalty
Unwavering commitment to self-specified royalty
Y-ieldedness
Percentage propensity to a God-created; man-enhanced kindred spirit
*****
H-igh
O-pen-mindedness in
P-ragmatic
E-ffectuation
H-igh
Raise the flag high
Rather than sit and heavily sigh
Work out each thigh
To power each leg and foot unto the awaiting victory so nigh
O-pen-mindedness
Virtue or vice?
Do think twice
Rather than answer at a price
Far costlier than that of a bag of rice
Take my advice
Before your roll the dice
Shampoo your hair clear of all lice
Be rid of all pestilent-mice
Each by a poisoned bread slice
I say this; that you needn't do the same job thrice
P-ragmatic
Be pragmatic
And not fanatic
At this be fantastic
That you break not like a piece of plastic
E-ffectuation
Simply put; bring your purported intent
That hitherto; has remained latent
Unto accomplishment or fulfillment
Your pick; dependant on your self-assigned grammatical patent
*****
P-atient
E-xpectation, and
A-nticipation of a
C-eproxic something(an event) of an uncertain certainty...[Certain proxy inf(d)us(c)ed with caution]
E-ventuality
P-atient
Be patient
In your patience, be an elegant lady and perfect gent
When your side has caved into the deepest dent
Pop it back out restoring your shape to what to be 'tis meant
And when your spine seems bent
As a moon-shaped crescent
Please don't give in, don't on yourself be so soft and lenient
Activate that recovery mechanism of yours in its typical manner so ardent
When you're all spent and are indeed spent
When all of your golden currency no more is current
You're stricken, smitten, and brokenly penitent
Every penny in your account statement isn't yours, but surely burrowed and not lent
In your world debt is perennially recurrent
Then you have to rise in a manner; resilient
Grab a scissors, cut Satan's long story short and quit being despondent
Your break outta his evil prison requires you device a plan better than intelligent
Not to worry you have the help of Heaven's best agent
E-xpectation
What is your expectation?
Is it unto perdition?
Is it unto salvation?
A-nticipation
Is that your anthem?
Right there on your chest...is your emblem?
All these demons...'tis the only weapon that can defeat them...
C-eproxic
A coinage of mine confirmed non toxic
By contextual meaning implying uncertain certainty
An occurrence yet of much later time
Of which you sure all negativities are sublime
Your assurance is in its prime
But current circumstances don't seem to rhyme
So you seem nothing but an entertaining mime
Entertainment uninterestingly bitter lime,
You however cannot afford to give damn or dime
Whichever fits better in your linguistic chime
E-ventuality
At long last
An end to the stormy blast
Healing to wounds beneath the plast
Safely now can you erect a permanent mast
*****
Feelings,
Emotional tumblings;
Mental rumblings....
Judge not
Be not like a kettle that sees the black patch or spot
That seems to engulf the outer bottom of the neighboring pot
Too blind to see it shares in the same lot
The icy freeze
The breezy sneeze
The smelting heat
Grilling you to meat
Wait-a-minute…put on that cap that makes you think!
Whilst you have it on, try not to blink
Don’t even give your neighbor the slightest wink
You’ve come this far, you’re at the very brink
Of crossing the bridging link
The link that connects all the dots shaping the mink
Take my hand; come out of the sands that sink
Let me wash you clean of all that doth stink
Here; sip on this refreshing drink
Acquire strength in your bones from its calcium and zinc
That your face might glow like brightly colored pink
Put on this royalty ring
Dazzle all a sundry with its shinny bling
Throw away all garments of old in wild fling
Burn them all; down to the last string
For your wounded arm, ride on my wings
Thru’ the clouds together we’ll soaringly swing
Arise oh my son, for ‘tis spring!
Hear the bell’s sonic ding
Hear the angels sing
The song of your coronation; my earthly representative king”
