kiss, love, paradise,
Into an endless night utmost faith rings ever true
where ardent kisses live low under a paper moon
hearts stop and linger in unforeseen beauty of being
with anxious arms holding on to every loving beat
This is where I'll rest til our tomorrow's finally cease
this is where I'll be forever feeling young
alive in the crimson creases of your petals
enamored by a mere splendor of your sight
Floating away in a celestial ambrosia breeze
a pearlescent cloud taking the shape of love
a fragrant flower arising under the maple tree
no rush needed letting undue burdens fall free

conflict,
Chimes sing soft to the morning
first breaths mist a pressing view
pains mixed in with the water
drowning out another thought of you
Lost memories waiting in silence
lain on the wishes of painted sands
gathered forth through baskets of truth
held tight in outstretched hands
Here, creatures float in freedom
blindfolds erase tables of time
flowers speak in scents of honey
winds blow gently and you're mine
So don't you let your tomorrow's linger
in darkened clouds of wonder's past
flee the pull of undue apprehension
and entrust her love to last

The Future Is Now
By: Miracle Man
August 5, 2020
Fear changes lives and brings undue worry,
today we struggle in an ambivalent clock.
Seen through a haze, our future looks blurry,
we oft gaze hinder and of our life take stock.
*“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
So to His teachings we should strive to endear,
or weighed, found wanting, and left behind.
* 2 Timothy 1:7

Melodies from heaven take me away
Undue the wrath of hurricane heartbreak
Singing of joy in freeing green serenade
Into the voice of love the one who saves
Creating a rainbow and providing peace
Amber and gold love inside blessings
Letting us know soul holy body
Inside we glow spiritual unity
The angels do sing and ears delight
Your heart brings a note songs for Christ.

allusion, love,
In satin bliss of vivid hue
abides a rose still damp with dew.
Upon its stem the pigment bled,
infusing petals crimson red,
instilling beauty for debut.
I blush for such a gift undue
and gasp to see its lovely view.
This rose expresses words unsaid
in satin bliss.
This kiss, my dear, I give to you
and ev'ry day our souls renew.
Two faithful hearts, one mingled thread,
place sanguine petals on their bed
then dare to do what lovers do
in satin bliss.

death, lost love, sadme, humor, me,
Don't humor me with flowers dear,
No honey lustred words of praise.
For death's too good, to be sincere,
To set my cinder heart ablaze.
If torture is my medicine,
It therefore serves to cure me of
An illness in comparison
That speaks of unrequited love.
If only you had held me true
My misery would be undue.
If only this,
If only that,
If only 'if's
Were matter-of-fact,
I'd still have dreams of purple skies
And terrors dipped in funeral songs.
I'd still believe those precious lies
And live in limbo all year long.
So pull that wondrous trigger, shove
That bitter barrel 'gainst my head.
For if you won't fill me with love
Then humor me, at least, with lead.

pride, self,
Can any fonder love myself endure
Than self-regard bestowed upon a name,
Or for the cause of unrelenting fame
Become a thing unpleasant to inure
Myself, I think it wise, I must demure,
And savor all the taste of dignity
If takes the pleasure from my liberty,
Then I shall suffer long to be obscure.
I struggle for the loss of all that’s me,
When ego flees in search of undue pride
And leaves an aching heart bereft with tears
While my emotions, hopes and dreams, do flee
Perhaps what’s left behind inside of me
Are nothing more than strains of devilish fears.

I give my heart to you my feelings was true.
baby no matter what I would have die for you.
Make your pain mine walk a mile in your shoes.
Night after night I took your mental abuse.
Heart stayed loyal even though my mind saw the clues.
I taught that your love will last forever my eternal tattoo.
Now I am screaming f*** you I am on a higher platitude.
But the pain that you put me through can never be undue.
damn my heart is broken in two what am I suppose to do.
When every night all I do is think about you.
Each night my heart feel pain yeah deja vu.
Now I stand tall because there is no more me and you.
So stop your begging because your tricks I see through.

fantasy, love, night, wine, youth,
With every taste of wine and sweet perfume,
The florid touch of night grows ever wilder
And wraps the heart in evanescent bloom,
Which gives the mind new fantasies to ponder.
The crisp moscato rushes through the veins,
Unfurling blithe delights of youthful glories.
It is undue and fruitless to explain
The alchemy of love in sober stories.

M,
The paints propose
in green and blue
and red
between each strok'd curve
bristles beaming
refined
dew undue dripped in gold
angels amid angles
anchored to men and to land
where big cats roam and prey
thrusting into troubled times
a troubadour of transformation
dictating upon mouthed words
delivered in bursts of light
eruptions of grandeur
enamored
with spotlight she's shown
more than just bones
lips releasing endorphins
ar'se shattering lines
antidepressant
debaffled, debriefed

My intention would never be to harm you
or to cause you any undue stress.
My heart has a mission
a sort of a quest.
This mission isn't anything grand
or extraordinary,
It simply is to reach for the stars
and to behold their radiance.
To see the dazzling semblance
of beauty.
To breathe in the cleansing
air of midnight.
To understand my place
to never abuse that right.
But to love others
to absorb their beauty
and maybe we can
reflect
off
of
one another.
Maybe we can sparkle
with light.

My ideal learning life classroom

overlooking a considerably more Pacific Ocean,
Relieved of burdens for future

Necessary and sufficient

this breath,
this leisurely walk without undue weight,
And perhaps another

from LoseLose unrest.
Where I am OK
not to get perfect WinWin scores
if right and left midway

god, sorry, wife,
For sometimes stealing
too much of twilight, leaving you
waiting up with worry.
For sometimes not leaving the kitchen
as immaculately clean as you left it.
Should I hurt or disappoint you,
whether I realize it or not.
Should an entire day steal away
without hearing me say..."I love you."
Forgive me, sweetheart.
For all my sins, mistakes; failing
to keep "It won't happen again" promises.
For sometimes taking undue advantage
of your inherent benevolence.
For often failing to meet you
halfway, all the way; not praying
as often as I should.
For sometimes falling short
of your expectations of me,
Forgive me, Lord. Amen.

dark,
Drudging at the foot of despondency
I dwell
floating in-between the far and the now
too tired to stand
knowing I'll be knocked back down
kicked and beaten
by my own inner beast
a feast of undue proportion
salted and dried
a fortunate misfortune
nipping at my wounds
bleeding out
failed opportunities
bringing me eternal death
for is that where my love lies in wait
with one foot planted in the darkness
the other eclipsing my moon
trust me when I whisper I want you
like a shadow needs her sun
the wind blowing off the sea
the clouds drifting away
you drifting to me
the sun will set in time
but for now
I let go of the mind
and become free

In choosing whom to hug and kiss
When England take to football field
I pray the other side will yield
But not within my catechism:
Pre judge with a rigid ‘ism’
Love each race no predetermines
All folk, even French and Germans
Gender? save in sporting race
Make your own choice of airs and grace
There is one sphere I must confess
(Enforced by no undue duress)
I make no bones on this decree

The tears that fell, spilled upon a dream
Down a face of regrets
Fragility of self-esteem
Emptiness it begets

christmas, holiday, love, peace,
I want a Christmas every day
Not a Santa Claus in his sleigh,
Or bringing presents to the good
Loving each other, as we should.
Peace on earth, a small price to pay
I want a Christmas every day,
Filled with happiness and good cheer
Not the end, beginning each year.
Setting aside all hatefulness
Every day free of undue stress,
I want a Christmas every day
Watching our children carefree play.
The spirit of love in the air
Visions of our lives without care,
Keeping all prejudice at bay
I want a Christmas every day.

Though others tried to spark a fire,
You hold the eternal flame;
Though others scorned my heart's desire,
Your acceptance took my shame.
Though others changed from day to day,
You remain the same;
Though others rallied for undue praise,
Your honor brings me fame.
Though others played my heart and soul,
You steal... win the game;
Though others tried to put me in holds,
Me, only your heart can tame.
Though others wouldn't belong to me,
You even wanted my name;
Though others condemned me within,
Your response took my blame.
Though others neglected my words in action,
You, my attention became;
Though others placed me beneath themselves,
Your stedfast love overcame.

lovelove, time,
Press your body againts mine,
Let this moment be devine.
I'll taste every part of you,
Our love is something time cannot undue.
Let our spirits join as one,
Let this love never be done.
Give yourself to me as I do,
Let go of the old and welcome the new.
Feel my heartbeat as it calls your name,
This lustful love time will never tame.
Whisper into my ear words of pleasure,
Let us both forever this night treasure.

courage, tribute, word play,
To Paul - whose words depict our times
Within melodic runic rhymes
As woven lyrical designs
To Paul - your Tug of War in life
Inspired you to pen Peace Pipes
For a world besieged with strife
To Paul - the idol of our youth
Who sang of love in words of truth
And suffered much undue abuse
To Paul - whose music paved the way
For Sargent Pepper’s Band to play
And gave us dreams of Yesterday
To Paul - whose Wings taught us to fly
By granting hope and leave to try
With joy that begged to touch the sky
To Paul - whose sadness now we see
In loss of love through destiny
Our prayer for him is Let It Be

Friday The 13th Prayer
Written: by Miracle Man
3/13/2020
Lord keep me from angst and undue stress this day,
filling my mouth with only good things to say.
You've shown me ample love when I've felt depressed,
now no day passes when I'm not feeling blessed.
From east to west You removed my transgression,
let my witness become today's obsession.
Forgiving my sin has become my true wealth,
from the jaws of death you twice restored my health.
Let my thoughts this day all be centered on you,
for the fields are white but laborers are few.
Amen
