In the presence of wolves, they kept close to their guns.
In the presence of love, under the watch of the sun...

But it was said in the hills wolves held thrones over men.

The worried banter
Of paranoid minds,
And not a hair
Would ere you find!

...

But should you eye
Up my canines
And point that thing at me...
I do not skulk about with wolves
So should I keep my teeth?

But I don't walk around this town
Looking for a link
Starting conversations
About teeth,
And what I think...

I'll be there  

          when the Sun dips        

in the gold-tinged waters      
              
half-setting,half-rising                      

     on the cusp of day n' night
\(*^▽^*)/\(*^▽^*)/
Somewhere
b/w the hemispheres

When you are with me you will not feel the Sadness and pain that destiny has given you

I am the repository of your emotions every time I see you crying And every time we meet, you can't wait to talk and tell your Day

Your stories give me meaning to stay by your side. I always by your side. - Friend
it is nice to have a trusted friend

Laurels adorned in the valley of Spartans
the breed excels at the call
fleet of mind
at home on the lectern of sages
the silent call of the Titan Africanus
show me no daggers or swords
for in the armoury of the visionary
fearless truth scythe bloodlessly
leaving the headless vanquished
dancing in the cabral of the undead
snatching defeat from the mouth of defeat
in blinded sight slave gladiators room their chains
but there are no free men in the Arena
and in hushed musing
a Titan sublime cast eyes below
to watch the vain and faint
the ludicrous go from the ridiculous to the absurd
knowing
the real battle is in the hearts
real men with hearts do not fight battles
Titans are Titans because they are Titans
they garrison not with hollow animus
of the fractured republic
fighting itself
with fractured hearts
and fractured minds and heads

Her wardrobe an
Array of colors
Translucent  for each culture
Flashy colors and sequins
Pale and simple
What she wore
Didn't matter
The message was the model
Only certain people saw
And would acclaim
Mary^s beauty in
Her native dress
And tongue
Mary is our Mother
And Jesus is her Son
We worship not a statue
Nor a picture painted
On canvas
But we are reminded
Of the Mother of God
We hold gently in
Our Heart

as the sun sets
it brings on another night-
where one half the world is a sleep
still a third, have one eye open
then there are a few
who just wonder why, mostly aloud
to themselves, no one else around
then there' s me
hoping and praying, both my eyes pried wide
unable to close them, to the hours they trickle down
then as I watch the sun ready to rise
up behind some cloud cover, to bring on
a brand new day-I will do my part, tired
unprepared, to welcome it -with weightless, open arms
