Nothing's
Amazing
That phrasings
Misleading

It's meaning
Is trending
Ascending
And blending

It's bleeding
To feelings
Reseeding
All learning

Refracting
Distracting
Everlasting
And confusing

Leaching
Overreaching
Reacting
No thinking

This god things
No blessing
Keep pretending
It has meaning

there's a place called the Lowe
the Lowe Hotel
100 plus years of souls
passing in the halls
leaning against the walls
that view the Ohio River
in its majesty
the Lowe
where stories were born
and still thrive
the room breathes
and crackles with sound as I sleep
whispers...taps...creaks
they are my connection
and I theirs...
window to the living
there are no years
no time or space to measure

'We get you' she said
in a voice as clear as crystal
and as close as dead can be to the living
after my one night stay
Amanda Kay Burke Nov 2023
Be the most amazing person that you can be
Who you've always tried to be like
You can inch towards goals little by little
Moving forward like wheels on a bike
Encouraging all the ways I know how
Sure it's not what energy you need
Sorry you feel pressured or pushed
I just cannot help but want you to succeed
It ***** when you want what's best for someone but they don't want that themselves
Chris Jan 2022
Who can travel like song

Whispering from galaxies

She has sung & he sinks
Deeper & deeper into love

Following in the fall
Bleakness to brightness of the brightest sun

Bathing by purity across the world
Lucky cultures aren't the same & I am from a different one

Kindness can be the morning dew
Kindness is what she is to you

Here and there conflict body warmth & hearted
Holding hands colliding
Squashing crashes avoided

Overcome & overthrown
Positivity is more powerful
Than anything he's ever known
Once in a lifetime
You meet someone that amazes you in a way like no other.
Everyone is good at something

It’s Really AMAZING...
To See Masks On Faces...
In Most Public Places... !?!

New World Social Graces...
Are Quickly Displacing...
What Once Was Engaging...

Like... COMMUNICATING... !!!

With People In Stations...
And Public Locations...

But Now Most Are VACANT...
Or... FORCIBLY Making...
For UNNATURAL Spacing... ?!?

And Of Course Vaccinations...
Are Something Now Making...
Some People Make Statements...
That Have People Chastened...

Or That’s Right RESTRICTED...
Like... Corona Victims... !!!

But To Me Something's MISSING...
Like Cashflow For Business...
And LOGICAL Thinking... !!!

So What Is The Mission...
of Those In Positions...
Who Are Leading Us Through...
This DANGEROUS Flu... !!!

I Just Don’t Have A Clue...
But What About YOU... ?!?

Are You Out There Complaining...
Or Are You Now Waiting...
To Get VACCINATED... ?!?

It Really Is CRAZY...
How Some Are Behaving... !!!

Anger’s INFLATING...
As Well As PULSATING...
Through Heads Acting Shady... !!!

I Found Myself Facing...
A Fella’... Road Raging... !!!

As If I’d Attacked...
This Fool With An Axe... ???

And What I Found Was Sad...
Was That This Guy Was Black...
And Seemed To Be Ready...
To Break Like Those Levees’...
That Left Things Unsteady... !!!

Because He Had Seen...
My Face Through His Mirror...
And Clearly Had Figured...
That I Was ANGRY...

When I Was Simply Confused...
By The Move That He Pulled...

And That Is The TRUTH... !!!

My Face Showed Frustration...
But How He REACTED...
To Me Was... AMAZING... !?!

Now What I Am Saying...
Is That Life Is Now Making...
Some People Start RAGING...
In Ways That Are CRAZY... !?!

... CORONA Is Now...
Making Folks Start To FROWN...

Who DON'T Even Have It... ?!?
Which I Think Is... TRAGIC... !!!

But... ATTITUDES Too...
These Days Are NOT COOL... !!!
When It Comes To Abuse...
And The Airing of Views...
To People Who Choose...
To Place Judgements On You...
That LACK Solid Proof... !!!

It’s AMAZING To See...
How Some People Think...
And What They Believe...
To Be... DEFINITIVE... !!!

And Some Feminists...
These Days Are TOO Quick... !!!

To Jump Down The Throat...
of Men Who Don’t Flow...
With... Feminist Quotes...

As If Females DON’T...
LIE Or... Do Things...
That Link To What STINKS... !?!

Well I’m … One of Those...
Who DOESN'T Just Fold...
Like These Modern Blokes... !!!

Who Seem To Believe...
That Females Are PERFECT...
And DON’T Make FALSE Claims...
When It Comes To Rapes...
And Forms of Harassment...
That Deal In ENTRAPMENT... !!!

Because They Get VEX...
Due To Things A Man SAYS...
That Leave Them UPSET... !!!

It’s Really AMAZING...
How Folks Are Relating...
In This Modern World... !?!

From Illness To Girls...
Or APPARENTLY... WOMEN... !!!

Whose Feelings Get Hurt...
When Men Deal In THINKING...
BEYOND... ****** Limits... !!!

And These Days That’s Why...
I'm A … FREE Single Guy... !!!

Because Where I’m Stationed...
Really Bears NO RELATION...

To Modern Day Statements...
That People Are Making...
And Actions They’re Taking...

Because MOST Are CRAZY...

And To Me Are........

....... “ AMAZING “...... ?!?
These amazing times are breeding some pretty amazing vibes, that inspired these rhymes !

Congratulation! See the far you have come,
You are just awesome,
I realize it has been tough,
You chose not to bluff,
You are an amazing self.

I write to let you know am proud of you,
For all you’ve been through,
Soaking up all guff to become better,
In the game you became hitter,
You are an amazing self.

I have watched you tarry for long in pain,
Pain that has chained your brain,
It’s time to release the hurt,
Time to spurt from the desert,
You are an amazing self.

You forgot that happiness existed,
When your entire world felt haunted,
Don’t **** yourself with the confusion,
You are your own cushion,
You are an amazing self.

Strong and able is your name,
I believe in your ability to reclaim,
Your past is a puzzle of a broken mirror,
Nothing in it can be myrrh,
You are an amazing self.

My pen bleeds for you to hope,
Tie another knot in your rope,
You cannot give up now,
God has a way somehow,
You are an amazing self.

even if I found the perfect person
someone who cared endlessly
showed me how much they loved me every single day
put time and effort into everything I loved
and overall just the perfect partner

I would still choose you
and that's my problem

I keep choosing you
when you've never chosen me
