Search deep! Of archived first romantic-kiss
Allow indulgent heart-throb mist memory-bliss
 
Such very beautiful radiant maiden-pure
A strong-muscled handsome Adonis-sure
 
In each mega-tropolis, burg, remote farm
A curious boy or girl explores Love-charm
 
In steamy-grit of canyon-deep city-streets
At sprouted-towns slow-cadenced beats
In barn-lofts surrounded by golden-wheats
Where lake-water rowboat romantic-meets
Sweet-curiosity of Love!-tempt warm-heats
 
Across yonder subtle-march tread time-in-space
Map-design refine, assign, confine, resign-trace
 
On summit-pinnacle deep-breathe Love’s-light
In valley-Lo embrace desire-wild spirit-delight
 
One day, somewhere beyond, flicker amber-coal
Rejoice! Not-lost amnesia-like attitude live-soul
 
Remember-when whisper-wind reverberate heart-tingle
Endorphins-spike sweet-savor “Love-curiosity” a-jingle

Then & Now? I wonder? Hmm?

 Shakespeare to “now”-here!?

 

Some ever-slight liberties on lofty rhyme

To light-tread on evil-errant modern-time

Intending to let “Light-of -TRUTH” dare shine

Perhaps! Cause thought-gain-reason by design

Maybe? Even, “Get-it-right” with a truth-align

What? Like yon story-poet? It’ll all be just fine

 

Old English by-gone “yarn-spinner” with license: To wit:

 

“A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

Only if a Magic-unicorn to soar the cosmos Wild! Of course.

 

Yon fragrant Rose by any other name as sweet!”

Midnight-garden alabaster-pale petal shadowed treat!

 

“Alas! Poor Yorick! I knew him well!”

Dead! Gone! & Buried! Let us the inheritance quickly sell!

 

And, even a very few from a modern rhyme-time: To wit:

 

Sparkle crystal goblets on mirrored silver serving tray

Tiny-bubbles elixir-wine or vile hemlock-bile betray

 

Beauty! Crystal-ice encase forest-fauna time-frozen trace

Does wall steel evil-out or Beauty-in with sacred-holy Grace?

 

Blue-white sparkle diamonds reflect Brilliance on yonder silver-lake

Divine Truth-enlightenment indulge mind-canyons for heaven’s sake

 

And? What? Pray-tell---Any meaning here?...To wit: Peace-Truth! Amen!

 

“Glory!”-in-material horde?---Vacate-evil!...Tally-Celebrate Liberty!-Freedom!

 

Eschew the P. T. Barnum circus-lie: “A ‘sucker’ born every minute!”

 

Rather, embrace Truth!---Eschew any & all evil!---Truth! Appreciate!

 

The Independent-Individual in Knowledge reigns Appreciation-Success! Amen!

 

A singular-“choice” approaches in short-time---Very-careful!...Choose Love!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! A holy-sacred worthy-mantra Trinity! Amen!

Trum: Angry! Petulant! Calm but mad-as-hell!

Com: Quickly found her pace! Interruptive! Goading! Elusive!

Trum: Very angry! Pouting! Rambling! Defensive! Respectful!

The "moderators"? 3-against-1 is always an unfair contest! Amen!

"Theater" over!---Com: 5! Trum: 5! Truth! At-a-premium! "0"!

Conclusion: LOSER?---We the people...Collective! No enlightenment!

Amen!

Debate!?---Too easy!..."Truth!"

 2-views!? Hmm!?

He drew a straight line on a blank piece of paper,

made asn "X" on the far left and another to the right.

Lower on the page he repeated the drawing.

On the upper line he moved left to right making "tiny" bumps;

on the lower line hem marked high peaks and valleys. Hmm?

"If these graphs were your lifetime chart, would you choose the 

top basically "flat" line, an easy life absent any highs or lows, or 

would you choose the jagged life with extreme highs but equal lows?"

Absent any hesitation, I said, "The challenge trace, for sure!"

Life is for Love!---Noguarantees!...Just pure adventure! Amen!

The debate?---2-views for our lives?...Incarcerated? or Freedom?

1) Cradle-to-Grave! No self-choices! No Freedom!

or

2) Liberty-Freedom!---With consequences...Good or otherwise!

"Your"-life! "Your"-choice!---Consider, then...Vote-wisely!

See?---Everything really is too easy...in pure-Truth! Amen!

Do you honestly believe the "gov'ment" cares about "You" or "them"?

Ask starving N. Korea? China? Russia? Venezuela? Cuba! Argentina?

One let's you exist miserably on their terms---or...else!

One frees you to soar-the-cosmos on a Magic unicorn!

Remember 9-11! They don't teach about it in schools!

Amen!
