appreciation,
Love nature programs for they're amazing up close filming
How do they capture those exploits so thrilling
It's beyond my comprehension
Surely grabs my attention
The cheetah, the fastest land animal at 70 mph gets top billing

dog, love,
These two old pups are near and dear;
I’ve kept them both throughout the years.
Lyra’s brindle, still cheetah-fast;
Lemony’s best years, in the past.
The thought of losing brings a tear.
When daughter schooled quite far from here
and had them crated, it was clear
they could not last, were much harassed,
these two old pups,
so I kept Lyra for a year.
Then, there’s the time Lem’ disappeared;
she got away from us quite fast,
a week in snow, did somehow last,
and then like magic, reappeared!
These two old pups…

lost love, love,
Stupid you,Stoic me
You moved fast,i stood glued
Still and Passive
Hardened by my pride
detached but committed
I'm snail,she's cheetah
Eventually ,I'll awake
Lofty hope she carried
scary wish i pursued
Alas,i did rise
but her wait had lapsed
the cheetah had lost its limbs
Indifferent to my plight
she charted a new course
the tide favor me not
Aloof,i think out loud
I used to be here
Now,the scales have tipped
But brown,I'm ready now
Yet,your ego fails me

song-lyric
She loves to cheat at playing cards,
The Aces hiding up her sleeves.
She prides herself on sleight of hand -
Is always loaded when she leaves.
But I’m a cheating cheetah too,
And I belong in Rita’s zoo.
She cheats at snooker, pool and golf:
The balls are moved, sometimes replaced.
And no one dares to make a stand,
As she will argue, brassy faced.
But I’m a cheating cheetah too,
And I belong in Rita’s zoo.
At dominoes, at anything -
She cheats as brazen as can be.
Her lovers more than I could count,
She cheats in love and cheats on me.
But I’m a cheating cheetah too,
And I belong in Rita’s zoo.
Yeah, I’m a cheating cheetah too,
And I belong in Rita’s zoo.

What is the young with out the old?
What is the winter without the cold?
What is the river without it's flow?
What is a cheetah that moves too slow?
What is a song that can not be sung
What is bow that can not be undone
What does us mean
Without you and me?

birthday, friend, friendship, remember,
It’s your sixty fifth birthday
Enjoy it now because
Time goes fast like a cheetah
But you’ll always have your memories
Of the things you love the most
And you’ll always love your family
These words were written by my friend Russell Floyd in 2013 for his grandmother when he was seven years old.

My Lady
Quiet like a parrot;slower than a cheetah,
Her benevolent is something to cheer,
In which many indigents have a share,
The pitch in her voice soothes many hearts,
which has made many guys to bow with their hats,
She romances humility with good nature,
Just like tenacious Dorcas in the books.
Have you seen her in active motion?
Unbelievable!cool,calculative and alluring;
Her words serve as curative remedy for sorrow.
While others practice gossip for pleasure,
She accommodates criticism as a treasure,
Her sassy attire befits a queen with
a golden crown on a platinum throne.

beautiful, destiny, dream, girl, life, love, passion,
She's a strange girl, Agustina
She runs through my mind like a cheetah
Who would've thought I'd fall for a girl from Argentina
I've never met her, only seen her
She's a little older than me, yes
And we don't speak the same language
But i'll find her one day, I think
There's some doubt in my mind
Maybe i'll never get to meet her
But I tell myself to cross that bridge when I get there
And for now, keep dreaming

the eyes of a butterfly
cheetah
meet greet
not for the first time
or ryhme
sharing a quick glance long stare
to blink rare
mesmerized moments
judgements
misconceptions
pre-notions certain motions
quick harsh step
of a cheetah
light gentle free breeze
of a butterfly
poetic chance
love dance

To My Dearest Jolly
She barks like a lion,
She runs like a cheetah.
But she's my dandelion,
She's a little Madonna.
She stares like a tiger,
She cries like a big wolf.
She's far more than fair,
I love her cute little arf.
Love & Trust,

break up, emotions, feelings, lost, relationship,
She no longer loves me
She said her heart feels it
She can't even try to pretend
Like she can really control her heart
Don't pity me let us celebrate
She had the trouble to be true
Like I am untied to one sided love
The heart can now easily let go
I feel so free -out of the cage
No body can lie to me now
Pretending to feel cherished
I really love her for such a truth
If you meet her down town
Don't look at her with wild gaze
Like she be untamed cat as a cheetah
She had learnt to be true and loving
She no longer loves me
She said her heart feels it
At first she would pretend
Yet now she can't even try to ...

introspection, life,
Turtles of the mind
Rabbits of love
Wolves of the body
Scavengers of the soul
The sea of feelings
Some walk with two legs
Some crawl on all fours
While others sail the blue sky
And we swim in the depths
A tidal wave of thoughts
Blister the mind
A storm of emotions
Flash across the soul
And the seas part
To reveal your passions
The hawk, your eyes may well see
The branches in the path
Travelling to three ends
A cheetah can carry you
Swiftly down a lonely road
Or the owl with its wisdom
May search the inner path a
And the rabbit shall run
For life or death

allegory,
Many a time have i fell in love with beauties,
But I'm locked in the cell of their duties.
Many a time I've been bewitched by their luxuries,
But now they've lent me variant abuses.
By stretch of rigid vices,
My 'Sire had hopped from thither to hither.
But the potholes and lapses,
They've sketched,got me fixated like a trapped cheetah.
Here is a piece of meat,
Of which if you feed on you'll be strong
Like the rock. When love you did meet.
And to love's choice you'll never be wrong.
"Discipline thou thy eyes and heart,
And come to Jail me if thy path be not right."

TARZAN AND JANE
Tarzan loved Jane
And, in spite of the pain,
Thought she’d be impressed
If he beat his chest.
Jane thought him strange,
A bit deranged.
When she heard him greet her,
Thought it was Cheetah

break up, divorce, lost love, love, pain,
Blades shooting out from the ground,
Petals floating all around,
Feathers drifting across the sky,
How it hurts me to wave goodbye.
A ball of joy,
Replaced by a decoy,
The sky crying.
No point lying.
Colour chart,
Dagger to the heart,
Shrivelled and drooped,
Standing there, stooped.
Hastily moving like a cheetah,
Not seeing where we are,
Black cave,
Our love engraved.
Seeing you, heart as light as a dove,
Exciting like a golden retriever’s love,
Tunnel to somewhere,
Ready and prepared.
