State Of The Union


Let´s have an election
Mr Putin bravely said
Sadly any opponents
Seem to end up dead.
I want a democracy
Yet I´m accused of lying
But how can I help it if
Opponents keep on dying.

Over in Israel Mr Netanyahu
Seems to take full pride
As his sanctioned terrorists
Carry out their genocide.
They seem rather unwilling
To look at facts and learn
From that known old adage
A trod on worm will turn.

Over in America it appears
Democracy will take a thump
As masses mass to support
The apparently senile Trump.
The Champion of the West
Coming under world fire
For falling under the spell
Of a convicted fraud and liar

Our local ruling hypocrites
Intend to raise their pay
As the necessity for food banks
Increases each passing day.
Sunak boasts thing are improving
But doesn´t seem to understand
His was the party in power
That brought chaos to this land.

Over the world people starve
As world temperature rise
Essential polar ice caps
Inexorably decrease in size.
Nobody really much cares
About the catastrophe ahead
Why worry about events due
Long after they´ll be dead.

You know how I know


You know how I know she was my everything
In all things I be thinking of how you would've handled it.
You know how I know she was enough
I slept at night.
You know how I knew I loved her.
I saw her.
How I treated her.
It's inexcusable.
How I lost her.
It's shameful
I think about her everyday.
HER
not what I gained/loss
I'm ashamed.
She deserved better.
Stronger.
Stable.
It's crazy.
But.
You how I know I'll never love again.
I left my heart with the love of my life.
Couldn't sell a heart if I wanted to.
I'll survive.
Although I'd rather not
I will, broken.
Barely functioning.
For the kiddo.
Always thinking of you.
But here I am.
Without you.
My fault.

EMOTIONS BURIED ALIVE HERE



~EMOTIONS*BURIED ALIVE HERE~

Sometimes words are out of place;
Anything you want to say, the words
Are inadequate and unable to convey.

Complex emotions due to complex
Situations are bound to stay buried
Within your own hurting heart.

Silence becomes a grave for those
Emotions buried alive in the heart.
The smile becomes the headstone and
Words like flowers on the grave´.

Hopefully Hopeless


Over here trying to make it to Venus
Cause I want to be where she are
Doesn’t matter how far from Jupiter
I’m back with the pen to paper
This means it’s deliberate
If I start this book
Will she ever read it…

The way you calm my soul
Yet make my heart sprint
Simply with your presence
All I need is for you to love me
Till they all see your imprints

Let me explore
Every flaw and blemish
And make each of yours my favorite
Follow your instincts, love
As our lips connect
Your intensity I’ve yearned for
As our passions unleash
Oh, this untamed beast
Finally

I stand back to admire your Beauty
I still have no control of me
How do I stay wanting more of you, amor
Though you’re merely inches away
The only Beauty to hold my focus
I’m hopefully hopeless
Tell me you’ll stay cause
I choose you
In the past, present, future
And the lifetime after next

¥☼MOI☼¥ 28 Mar 24

My mind gets no rest.

Christ in Your Home


Wives, submit to your husband,
As is fitting in the Lord;
Every minute and second,
Never let them be ignored.

Husbands, always love your wife,
Never to be harsh to them;
Showing honor through your life,
And never try to condemn.

Children obey their parents,
This is pleasing to the Lord;
When showing obedience,
It puts them in one accord.

Never provoke your child,
Lest they become discouraged;
And they will be defiled,
And they will become ravaged.

Servants obey your masters,
Sincere hearts will fear the Lord;
Never being down casters,
Let not their words be ignored.

Work heartily what you do,
For the Lord and not for man;
Diligently to pursue,
In following His plan.

From the Lord that you should know,
An inheritance to reward;
Allows the blessings to flow,
For you are serving the Lord.

The wrongdoer will be paid back,
Because the wrong that was done;
Respect for others you lack,
Disrespects also the Son.

LOVE SHINES BRIGHT




LOVE SHINES BRIGHT

Love lets the light shine through
Its radiance always on view
Emanating straight from the heart
As that is where the feelings start.

The heart then beats at a fast pace
And this feeling it does embrace
It seems to light the world on high
The colours reaching to the sky.

Ever since this love you have found
You can`t keep your feet on the ground
It lifts you up you walk on air
And there`s nothing that can compare.

This is joy of the purest kind
And it can even blow your mind
To have a feeling such as this
Is nothing short of absolute bliss.

A Two Week Trip?


Tatum's Torturous Travels
14 nights of dismal hallucinations.

A Two*Week Trip?

I suffered an invading germ
that took me on a trip.
For a fortnight jaunt, this bug, unknown,
constrained me in its grip.

Aside from other harsh effects,
I was delirious.
Strange apparitions multiplied
and this got serious!

Creatures, formed in every object,
walls, and floors, and skies;
not one place could I find respite
to safely hide my eyes.

Everything was so real,
I had nightmares in my head!
I had to keep my eyes agaze,
to calm me in my bed.

My real world turned into a dream;
my dream world became real.
I couldn't tell the two apart
by neither sight nor feel.
Facial features everywhere,
Above and down below!
Jammed into a nightmarish clash,
“and, Holy Picasso!”
At this point, my mind was a wreck,
and nerves began to fray.
One consolation of this trip is,
it was not one*way!
