on the adrenalin of popularity they thrive
it pumps within their veins so inflated
if there were none they'd not survive

an accolade won't make them feel deflated
they've got to receive all the bolstering
it pumps within their veins so inflated

always gathering plaudits for a holstering
which brings unto them that air of rise
they've got to receive all the bolstering

the supporter base not going into demise
devotees keeping the pulse throbbing swell
which brings unto them that air of rise

to be the premier acts in a long spell
falling out of favour they'll not easily tolerate
devotees keeping the pulse throbbing swell

much adulation ever liking to slate
falling out of favour they'll not easily tolerate
on the adrenalin of popularity they thrive
if there were none they'd not survive

How do you shake that
which thrives on being crumbled?
It's simple - you don't.
the torch of
a feeble reason lit.

a decision made, ablazed
in a haste passion,
cursory images

as fragile foam.

the ocean,
thuds
lulls and wilts
promises.

his lean vessel thrives
on magickal waves,
erupts, as a time
borrowed torch,

bold and beautiful.

God has a unique Divine individual plan for each one of our lives
and if we recognize and follow it carefully each one of us thrives.

and the wine was good
fear was afraid
death was dead
life ran away
the moon and sun and stars
all shined their blessing
upon the dome
and this is how we

Who accepts change may just survive,
Though who adapts will surely thrive.
Mandi Aug 2015
It was more difficult in the past to be different
as all were the same.
It was more difficult in the past to be different and accept it
as all were the same, and the same was the truth.
It was much easier in the past to be different, and understand it
as all others, were the same; so difference could be identified and explored by self.
It is much easier in the present to be different,
as all are spoon-fed self confidence, and a sense of pride in what they
want.
It is much more difficult in the present, to Understand your difference, and Accept it.
as all others are different bc they were Told to be.
and You
You are Different
because you Are.
        Naturally.

Ivy
The ivy climbs high,
It reaches out-
Limitless.

Unashamedly,
Thriving off the life of its host,
Who is just as blind.

Lovers compare its growth,
To their emotions-
Limitless.

Irony.
What thrives so well,
Eventually kills its host,
Who is just as blind.
I'm alive,
I'm here to thrive
With nothing to do with the word connive..
I've got to live smart,
And love with my whole heart,
Be focused as though in a game of dart,
Be creative and live by my gift of art....
