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”

G.R.A.C.E






I tell u what?




I, of HIM; have received a generous gift
That avails me such gracious lift


It affords me an easy drift
Over & above life's strenuous rift


It cleanses me thru' via its purity sift
Powers me to run faster than swift


Enriching me far beyond all economic thrift.....




....'tis HIS 
   
             G-rand
             
             R-esplendent


             A-bundance in


             C-ertified


             E-ndowments....

Man vs. Nature

The chilly breeze

The biting freeze

The grilling heat

The dazzling sun’s beat

Trees rustling
Their evergreen leaves, like hands seemingly clapping
On their branches birds comfortably nesting
With sonorous pitches ceaselessly and happily singing
Landing aground for some birdie-hopping

The green frog croaking

The agama rhythmically nodding

The lowly cricket chirping

The firefly brightly glowing
Not too generous with its light; occasionally blinking

Under the yellow sun shinning
Out in the wild; the gazelle gracefully grazing

The cheetah with no knowledge of cheating
Nature’s laws only duly obeying
Subject to its force so compelling
With no option other than yielding
Taking the only available path; softly willing

There! Hungrily and creepily lurking
Every twitch and itch notably watching

Each step yet to be taken perfectly calculating

Every atomic molecule patiently energizing
With such power; endlessly intriguing

Right between the tick and tock
Of Mother Nature’s unbeatable clock

Like a flash of lightning
With the blast of a thunder bolting

For its prey it goes launching

Starting off with the running
The chase perfectly commencing

The pursuit duly continuing
After which comes the catch-up and pouncing

Following thru' with the killing
Every bit of flesh roughly tearing

Each bite tastefully savoring

Before the eyes get a chance at twinkling
Another session of perfect hunting
Moments of delightful feeding
Is brought to an easy ending
Countless nutrients deeply nourishing

Every bout of strength replenishing
The very marrow duly refreshing

At the approaching of the beautiful sunset

Whilst the majority now lay to rest
A neighbor arrives from the west
With 'cuffs; every ray of light to arrest
Infiltrating every molecular atom with its spooky fest
Covering air and space in its pitch black vest
Conquering even the great and lofty Everest
Subduing its peak; oh yes! its very crest

Then rises the owl from its nest
Yet again to face the dark test
Flapping, rising, and soaring with such zest
Distinct digestible affiliations identifying a pet meal, not a pest
Clasping its choice pick from the sleepy rest

Speaking of night-vision better than the best
Duly fulfilling its quest
The sole victor in its conquest

Oh! I forgot to introduce to you

The one with whom you have to do

The one I'm not sure whether to praise or to boo

The one I do not know what unto him really is due

'Cos in this picture, a very prominent figure is he too

He comes in the name of peace
But in his hand; a knife slicing piece by piece

Treasure he was meant to tend without halt or cease

Treasure not his, only given him on an indefinite lease

Instead of an appreciation

Rather than an admiration
Of the vast beautification
Of The One behind the entirety of all creation


All he sees is imperfection

All he sees is need for alteration
Ever booming in his mind; a lousy altercation
A forever ongoing opposition
His mind and intellect rising in objection
To the creator's sense of perfection

In his bid for modification
Lost in an ever evolving ball of evolution
The same ball known as civilization

He finds himself in the chamber of balance and distribution
To the locks; he has not the key combination
For the “ne’er-seen-before” machines; He knows nothing of their modes of operation

Accidentally pushing the button for "self-destruction"
Which he mistook for the ignition

He brings the much dreaded slow and steady ruination
Of every continent and nation
Into perfect initiation

Specific species facing extinction

A small minority faced with extermination

The larger majority falling into the pit of gradual eradication

Every living thing breathing in an air of massive decimation
Even his structures are brought down in brick by brick demolition

The Antarctic giving way to depredation

The arctic ice plunging into liquidation

The world now at the verge of extirpation

The universe facing a possible annihilation

All because of the one
I introduced to you earlier on

The one meant to tend
Every wear and tear to mend

Me, myself; even I

MAN!

Borne, one of two possible genders
Whichever, altogether meant to be a builder

Not a horrible destroyer

MAN; the sole author of greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change

I Am S.M.A.R.T.

 I am a

      

       S-pecific

      

       M-aestro;

      

       A-rticulate,

      

       R-esilient; and

      

       T-alented

I am

     S-pecific

Zeal doth burn in me, indeed acidic

Temperance, yet doth strike a balance with elements basic

In my stomach, glands do secrete the juice of the gastric

To yet appease this increasingly biting colic

The cure for which was not found in nothing garlic

My imagination runs wild, in a manner so artistic

Lines and strokes running in a race quite frantic

AS they try to connect, the energy feels indeed hectic

You could feel the pulse racing, almost hysteric

But there's prune and restraint; in a manner far from manic

Yet with the pause and caution of a detailed critic

Like two halves in a battle for the winning gimmick

What an amusement, watching such captivating frolic

What bout of speechless excitement, stumbling on rare relic

What words and exclamations breaking the bounds of the sonic

Feels like fire powered by an inexhaustible wick

Spreading in a manner so wild and sporadic

Overpowering even the strongest forces of the hydraulic

I am a

       M-aestro

Some call me a pro

Others prefer to call me a highly skilled bro

My works travel north to south like a crow

Fast as a jet, compact as a barrow

Their essence and message yet sharp as an arrow

Hitting their target, that most central hollow

Sentencing all agents of antagonism to the gallows

I am

     A-rticulate

Some may choose to describe me as machinate

Others would rather simply describe me as perfection incarnate

This flattery tempts me (in stagnancy) to hibernate

My energy and passion seem to fluctuate

As like an enormous balloon, I am tempted to inflate

I have to bring myself to focus and concentrate

Afresh; my mind with my goal-in-view, I do intimate

A derailment, I cannot allow you to create

Every distraction, I duly cremate

As I am charting a course I cannot afford you a chance to truncate

Opened windows, the stuffy room to aerate

My dear dreams to yet resuscitate

Dreams too precious, I shan't afford you a chance to dissipate

In such wasteful manner; like an unappreciative ingrate

Now isn't the time for a sun tanner

Now is the time to ready myself to fly the banner

I am

     R-esilient

On achieving my goals; I am dutifully bent

A cause for which I shall spend and be spent

All to ensure myself an ever progressive ascent

As I just cannot afford a step's descent

Please don't mind my egoistic accent

Neither yield to the temptation to resent

The easily mistakenable tone of my voice at present

Taking cognizance of its rather rare nature, persuasively insistent

Rather see in my one quite ardent

Permit your olfactory lobe to enjoy the aromatic scent

Emanating from my boiling hot perfume; rather effervescent

A fragrance; fragrantly fervent

You couldn't be more content

I am quite persistent

My persistence not an occasional event

Rather;

In my resilience, I remain yet decent

My decency availing me a rather perfect gent

The hands of Ma and Pa for so long have I been lent

Every errand on which I was sent

To which I both willingly and reluctantly went

Shapening me, thru the reform and remold of each and every area of dent

Harshness was what I thought it to be; feeling the pinch of the trident

Bending me into the perfect crescent

The shape and form for which I was meant (to take)

The goodness of properly tuned manners finding a comfortable vent

Now I happily dwell in my success-tent

Basking resplendent in manner and discipline; so affluent

I am

     T-alented

Yes I am talented

Or perhaps you prefer to call me gifted

Whichever, 'tis just English language being manipulated

The same intended illustration; only differently coated

The meanings I believe remains the same when translated

To the central language of humanity from which they both originated

I have talent

Have I any talent?

What is talent?

Is it some distinct gift of unknown advent?

At your renewable use on an unplayable or free rent

Or as some would describe it, a "natural endowment"?

Better still; some an unexplainable empowerment

For a performance higher than meager enablement

Rated by others as distinct and (or) excellent

Someone please call 911!

I seem to be stuck

Here I stand, caught up in this rare wind

Trying to give a defining explanation

To the form and nature of what they call, we call, I call TALENT

Which I very much believe is very much inside of me resident

Oh my!

I seem to have somehow stolen or impersonated

The identity of my very own self haply duplicated

Yet inside of me (in diverse manner) replicated

Certainly not manipulated

Only seemingly tailored after the pattern from which the real me originated

Or perhaps like multiple (several) mirrors, varyingly plated

Now seemingly manifest, though each and every had unknowingly previously emanated

Only now to my conscious consciousness each being correlated

That I waken as each and every battle to be most pontificated

Battling each other, yet at the expense of none; neither injured nor lacerated

Multiple individualities yet collectively coordinated

One beating pump, powering the blood thru my veins circulated

I am a

                S-pecific

               

                M-aestro

               

                A-rticulate

               

                R-esilient, and

               

                T-alented

I am S.M.A.R.T.
