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”
