Gilded glitter spills from her wells;
In a field of marigolds,
Aureate sap oozes
From cracks in amorphous sky-dust,
Abdicating the weight
Of the Lord’s empyrean.
A surrender to altruism,
The wrath of amorous horizons.

~
Gilded – covered in or glowing like gold
Aureate – richly golden, ornate, or heavenly
Amorphous – without defined shape or form; formless
Abdicating – giving up a throne, position, or burden
Empyrean – the highest heaven; the pure light-filled realm of the divine
Altruism – selfless love or sacrifice for others
Amorous – filled with love or desire

(P.S. Does it appear in italic to y'all?)

You shan’t seek
Love in lust,
Just as you can’t draw
Nectar from a rose’s trust.

For desire is not love,

And all love is not desired.
Finally putting it in a poem
1DNA Jun 15
Dear dad,
Your contagious beams,
Spread through my body,
Infect my cheeks.

You reflect the day-
The soul of a child,
In the body of a man-
Life's not kind.

Yet you shine,
As a movie critique,
With zero dad ***,
And a good physique.

However busy,
You may be,
You leave it all aside
For our family.

Very grateful we must be.
Not all heroes are caped, you see,
Because dad,
You are our hero in a lungi!
Happy Father's Day!

Fully cooked batter,
Sprinkle of half-baked sighs.
A recipe of truth —
Never a lie.

Throw out the salt;
Add aged cheese,
A dollop of sugar,
A dash of chilies.

Don’t mention the sweat,
Nor the quiet cries.
Because
It’s the recipe of truth —
Never a lie.

Serve the truth,
Or leave it dry.
Maybe a pinch of water,
But never a lie.
My life slogan

Unfinished conversations
linger in the air,
dropping low—
the weight of 242 innocent souls.
Prayers to all the families of the lives lost and injured,
May their voices echo on.

Truth untangled
darkness shines
Terse in format
long on tone
Silence Christened
sin bemoans

Complex topics
simple rhymes
Said but once
forever chime
One breath frees
indentured words
Locked away
— in verse unheard
