left my phone unlocked on the taxi’s back seat, won't be the last time called it a few times finally, the driver picked up he had a fare immediately after mine, and was now headed way downtown, and would call later when fate returned him nearer my office and so it came to pass, very shortly thereafter, we met on the street, he rolled down  the window and with the greatest smile of pleasure, as if he had won the lottery beaming, handed me my phone I had two $20's to cover any expense he might have incurred, neatly folded in my hand   and offered it right up, right away; but the driver repeatedly pushed my hand away as I insisted, saying: *"No sir, no no, not necessary! Allah sent me a fare that took me soon back close to you, so,   no loss of time did I suffer, so your offer is kindly unnecessary!"* to which I replied, *"exactly! Allah sent you to me so I could reward you!"* and with an equally, beaming smile I continued, *"our ride and meeting today, together was pre-ordained it was* Inshallah!" ^ something he could not dispute... or my knowledge thereof and it’s proper pronouncement, nor his amazement, to disguise!   we parted ways    each believing,    each receiving, a heavenly check plus, each, credited with a mitzvah^^ on our respective trip logs, our humanly divine balance sheets, kept by the single supreme taxi dispatcher

*My depraved soul's unearthed By the Holy Ghost's breath And given new birth Out of spiritual death This wretch is turned 'round Fit with eyes to believe A lost sheep is found And her Shepherd received My blots are each edited Out in Christ's fount His righteousness credited To my bankrupt account A prisoner's been pardoned No debt left to pay A heart which was hardened Becomes pliable clay My life's set apart Now from worldly regression Picked out from the start Made for Christ's own possession I'm purchased with blood Shed on Golgotha's tree A slave bought by God And fully set free My sins were all laid On the head of a Scapegoat Who carried their weight To a desert remote Once an object of wrath And deserving hell's fire But Jesus took my bath— Conflagration of God's ire So an enemy no more I'm brought into God's fold Carried through His door And out of night's cold He calls me His child His heir and His bride Though once an orphan wild Now seated at Christ's side And soon He'll return When salvation's complete When no longer I'll yearn For His own face I'll meet!*

is Corrie ten Boom´s Favorite Quote. The Master Weaver’s Plan My life is but a weaving Between the Lord and me; I may not choose the colors– He knows what they should be. For He can view the pattern Upon the upper side While I can see it only On this, the underside. Sometimes He weaves in sorrow, Which seems so strange to me; But I will trust His judgment And work on faithfully. ‘Tis He who fills the shuttle, And He knows what is best; So I shall weave in earnest, And leave to Him the rest. Not ’til the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the canvas And explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needed In the Weaver’s skillful hand As the threads of gold and silver In the pattern, He has planned. by AUTHOR UNKNOWN Based upon research, have discovered that more than one person has been credited with authorship of this poem. For now, have decided to list it as “author unknown” until there is further clarification. Corrie ten Boom. These words said Corrie ten Boom, the author of many many books. I feel honored and humbled that I may show you this poem she constantly presented in her life as a token of love to God and let you know about her. As Corrie ten Boom said the true author of this poem is still unknown. I am only the one who gives through. with love, Sylvia Frances Chan Wednesday, 20 December 2017

The match on Sunday was matchless, For Ozzie lost to India with grace, Indian players snatched from them, Indians stole the victory so easy, But it just seemed easy in the end, Each one of the Ozzie hurlers, Couldn't even ask for the water. Virat - great was the beating! And to be credited is just not Virat, Anushka Sharma is equally credible, Had she never broken up with him, Virat Kohli would still be distracted, Against ultimate opponents Ozzies, Our team stood not a single chance, If not for his sweet vengeful courage.

i miss your lips the way they'd smoothly dance like a genie in a lamp as you'd sing and speak how sweet your memory tastes though the reality has long since faded i cling to my effervescent exaggerations of our tangled past replaying time to time on the dream-screen of my mind as i snack lightly on the salty remarks of my youth and i laugh it hurts but it feels so healthy you fade through the moon-mist and dismiss your own existence once again proclaiming that you are nothing but an extension of it all a fingerprint of the wilky-way just a strand of DNA swimming through the wake of infinite expansion i miss it the beer-breath incantions you'd softly slur after dark the kisses you'd plant along my edges like the vines that trace the hedges in the front lawn of that dusty place we'd fake our love nostalgia always begins so inviting untill you're finally feeling sea-sick from the over-ingestion of false sweets and pure imagination now we're so far gone living in a different reality entirely i don't think i'd even know your face if i saw it i know you only by the way your shape fits in the frame another handsome man trapped forever in the reels of film of my mind but i'll remember you you're woven into the wood works           drunkenly dancing through a serendipitous sea of names      stands the lamen's term for your current shape your birth-given name credited with a handfull of scars left behind by a man who forced me to grow

Eternally accepted in God’s Son, His righteousness now credited to me, I’m pardoned, justified, set fully free. By grace through faith, hesed is ne’er undone. No merit of myself on which to stand, my works of flesh and law won’t favor earn. But God Himself in Christ, I’d finally learn, had satisfied each holy, just demand. And by same grace through faith that justifies, Christ’s working out His righteousness in those, by covenant before the world, He knows, e’er keeps, upholds, protects and sanctifies. Because in Jesus Christ I am approved, from trusting in His love I’ll not be moved.

Hesed Acceptance (Sonnet)
This is not my home, Blame narcissism; what I bring to the table is balance and I’m not alluding to table salt, Credited Shiva when fables taught; So why am I alone? To the left are the people I left, I can even summarize as past, Their decisions were based off right removing rights, This is an act of freedom; Feeling obligated to honor a name, The illusion is last, As of right now, I exist in between, It’s during the experience, that I wonder… Sooo, why am I alone? When I lay eyes on a female, I want her to feel disrespected, It’s important that a female is aware of her insecurities, It’s important that she sees the disconnection, impurities, her own reflection, Buddy want his hotdog wet; thought ejects*, Natural selection, Buddy want the Top Dog vest, I’m baffled, I only guide a confession, I’m eliciting the potential, Pushing a resurrection, Sharing; passing lessons, Sparking questions, My love you’re in the box, I want you to be free; Change of perception, They fed you food for regressions and impressions, Polarity rings; I’m attracted to the curves, the body’s expression, That musty smell of oppression/depression, How could you blame me for wanting to interfere, I hate MEN; I’m calling progressive… FLO here, For lovers only, Love is what I’ve been giving since birth, and I don’t expect a return, People show hate; universe translation (twenty years later), “Tough love”; discerned, I laugh daily, that is the outcome of pain, Me wearing colors was the outcome of being plain, I made a choice; no longer was the same, I can honestly relate to Jane, Feminism is misconceived these days; point was a healthy balance of both carries no shame, It’s unknown, separate from the game, Adiyogi Shiva; Transcendental if omming the name… I always wonder if I’m narcissistic; I love people unconditionally, there’s no reason why I should ever feel alone.

Hugging the devil, refraining from the Lord: Filling my hollow and empty life, the gourd Of my soul, up with the mirth of lechery; Making frenzied fortune from debauchery, While the account of my heart is credited With slush happiness: full, yet never sated. Lured by diverse lusts; rain do not up fill A basket. Man is vapid outside God's will.

All the color Stained away Drained AwayFrom around My monochromatic core Becoming an abstract memory Spreading In a screaming ,raging silence All across..... ....This sad and pock marked floor In shades of grey I make my way ...past The last ....ornamental Bit of sanity I find..... before I slip into the mist Of uninspired ,hard wired Usurpers.... .....of all That lay ahead Where dreams die As the ordained Squeeze hard ..then discard Any evidencerary consideration Left Beyond the veil Of the awaiting mist Obscurity wilting away The ubiqitous absence That latest wisp Of wide appeal ...for those of us Who allow ourselves To be drained of all color Amid the abstract disregard Of who we were in our own way Conceding to become unhearlded retreating ghosts Of monochromatic grey Unadorned bits of sanity Saluting as we pass by On our own ....on our way Not even credited With the abstract decor Left behind us .... On the now even sadder Pock marked floor As it hears the screaming ,raging silence As it's echo fades away ,lost ,ghostly pale Absorbed .... By the grey mist.... ..... beyond the awaiting veil !

Drained Away
There was a wall of soil. A bright sun kept it warm. But the darkness of the vacant, roofless room made the growth hurt when a lone flower spurt from the fertile earth. The flower prayed every night for the Sun's light. Blinded by the night, the flower was unable to see it's shadow to show his rising height. No mirrors or a filled flowered field to observe or compare it's growth. The flower didn't see how much the darkness made him grow until the Sun was out. That's how he found out he was taller now but falsely credited the Sun. The gift and curse of the wallflower.

The overwhelming depths of your womanhood Feeling trapped and  burdened by your decisions Living in the lap of luxury of your own selfishness Actually thinking you could live for yourself Or pave your own way with grace and dignity But you are much more than who you've been credited Those who doubt you fuel your ambition You are the moon lighting your own darkness You are the roots of all that has bloomed You are the beacon of wisdom of all your past lovers None of whom will ever understand the entirety of your beauty

Love, Act I
Holy Crap, They Sold My Name! No big deal, your name, your email, bought n' sold daily, Like a baseball card, your picture and vital stats are on the internet, Your credit card in the fine print tells you they love you much, But the data they collect, might get credited to such and such. You're fair game if your sign up for anything. Now I know I am getting on in years, Tho spry rhymes with die, I flatly deny Any notion that My great beyond is just around the corner! But Holy Crap, They Sold My Name! Got a color brochure Suggesting that when my travels are over, A nice place to rest my head might be St. Michael's Cemetery. St. Michael's Cemetery 7202 Astoria Blvd, East Elmhurst (718) 278-3240 Friday hours 7:00 am–5:00 pm In case you want to check it out too... Tho I live not in the Borough of Queens County, My zip code but a hop, skip and jump away, The cemetery adjacent to the Grand Central Parkway Which is actually quite thoughtful of The mass marketer who dreamed up this scheme (And got paid a plentiful amount of bounty). My kids could wave as they drive by, On the way to LaGuardia or JFK, (airports) And say, guilt free, they visit me regularly! Sadly, their plot foiled, I will be buried in New Jersey soil, Near to my pop, who liked the Wide open spaces of suburbia And shopping on Route 4, Where the selection is great And there is no sales tax. But Holy Crap, They Sold My Name, And I am now target marketed, Niched, pretty soon the boys from AARP Will come calling, reminding me of the gap Tween Medicare and the poor house! Ok ok,  grow up you say, tho your hair is full, And not even a hint of baldness shines forth, Nonetheless, its color is zebra striped gray, And when someone says they got my back, I think, please, please take it and keep it.... Oh yeah, Dear St. Mikes You might ask for some of your money back, Cause this sily scribe is a member of the tribe, Some call "those ***** (hint: it rhymes with Mikes)," It starts with K and ends in yikes! But thanks for thinking of me anyway.

"Omni, Do tell" A sunless sun... a cloudless cloud are the same in one? Dear Omni, without your help I fear that I'm done! Do tell or I wished I'd never met you from day one! ~Venjencie Ven, venae toward the heart How can I end what you have start? Light and dark each spinning round Dear Ven, this, only once around It starts If you really knew me, you wouldn't want to know me at all.~Omni Dear Omni, because I ink ****** words as a broken poet, We're blood from the same neck of the woods. Is a wingless bird free? If you end it then that's what I will be... a wingless bird that can never fly free. VenJencie Omni  Oct 6 If the woods be too high, climb down then fly. A flightless bird knows no envy. It too knows it is free. I, Omni do tell, only because I've seen it as well. Dear Venjencie, even the woods be broken, but still they grow. -Omni My dearest Omni, maybe you're my harmony, So do tell something I need to know, Will you disappear after I whisper my sin into your ear; (whispering), I'm not devious but I'm very much envious, For my beauty can never compare to the beautiful colored wings of others, I fear the woods will cease to grow, Then my very life will cease ...being wingless you know, If the woods burn down, Would you try to rescue me after I made my sin of jealousy known? ~SacredInkedblood ©2018 Venjencie Arnold Omni 5m Only in flight, are we less, but no lesser than any until it is of the mind. I tell you, you soar! Your words take flight and maybe, just maybe, your words save me. Wings need no envy nor want of shame. They take flight in the heart and sail in the expanse of the brain. There are no borders for envy and jealousy for they will always be, and so too we. Your wings mightily open and quench the fires of the forest with a single and simple flutter. There is no need for rescue. Your sin, be it as mine own, is safe with me. -Omni ©2018 "Omni, do tell" 2018© Rights credited to Omni and Venjencie Arnold

There was a time when it served me well to forget the times When they were fresh to devestate Hard times, mean times, time to forget but the memories wouldn't stay buried For too long It took a long time to keep them from escaping the soul-locked box I stuffed them in Hoping, they would rot inside Losing, with the passage of time, the power they weilded What damage had been done would eventually be credited to other foes But that's not quite what happened ****** There is a soul-locked box sits in the center of all I know With no labels or any way to guess what might be inside Be it wonderful or wicked Light as a feather Stinking, moldy air? Ashes, fine powder weightless? A black hole vacuum just waiting for me to open it For to be ****** down and in to the times for which it was spawned I don't know what's inside but this I do know: It's something important A missing piece of a huge jigsaw puzzle that covered my grandmother's coffee table An instinctive aversion to Thursday nights at 9:00 o'clock A resolution to never again defend the Bible to bullies A plastic bag filled with flour, snorted like ******* I don't know what's inside, but I do know this: It's something important A casual observer forced to take sides to help a weak man win A look in the eye only noticed through hateful glaring and if eyes are truly the window to the soul... A new meaning to the phrase "looks that **** A wet pillowcase still warm from muffled curses I don't know what's inside, but this I do know: I'm afraid of knowing Because I think I DO know and now I don't want to I remember pain and disappointment, fear and contempt A loathing for someone who may or may not have deserved it Someone with a set of excuses every bit as valid/worthless as mine I'm afraid of the possibility ithat those excuses don't amount to anything That forgiveness somehow got lost in the shuffle and someone went to heaven without mine And I can only pray that there was a time he repented and forgave me in his own mind Because I have a strong suspicion That forgiveness is the key to the soul-locked box In the Spirit, let the breeze dissolve the molding, rotten air Let the Wind, which no man knows which way it comes or which way it goes, dissolve ashes into ether I long to find out the times, torn from the fabric of time Memories alive but unconsciously ignored You tell me you can tear down those walls I say Ignorance is Bliss

What is it hereby that I seeith? Unardent archetypes, Credited cards to swipe for fast food, Archaic since long ago!!!! Aristocratics art thou? Gormandizing collared frenzies, A meal plus ten for thine own family? What about thy neighbor? The one on thy street? Doused in fluid, puke, and his own safekeeps, Not enough for him thou furtive frugal? Yea, Tuck thine own pockets back in, Dont let him see you have all to giveth!!! Unlargess you!!! As this old rock spins in circular motion, To thine loved ones all time and devotions, Thou giveth not to thine own family, But to slot machines? Thou maverick!!! Thine phene!!! Agile pabulum Haven's hath become brothels of aspirin taking needed, Once a day for unclogging!!!!! Protractingly fateful health oh mortal? Trying to live to one hundred? Afraid for thy soul to pass? What's wrong? No god? No faith at last? Provident to failure!!! Virulent art thou, For thine work thou hath made thine surplus, Skipping the wife's needs? For forty hours of volition and lust!!!! Visionary of demonic audacity!!! Thy own path is manifest and lamenting, For art thou not repenting of thy fast lifted paradox?? I'm a cynic to thy trust!!!!

The Examination
Hurling curses everywhere, pitchforks and pistols in everyhand. The price for silence flirted with moral opulence. The minted paper lollipops credited our hungry accounts; whilst our future sold in the markets and our groins thrown in the caskets. Change is not a criteria to progress because it is a slutty variable. Honesty is not a key to political prowess because it is transparently breakable. Let the feet do the talking and the mouth do the standing.

I can't grasp your moving picture When you were the director Of my life's lovely scripture You were the connector To a screen that dug deep Your image makes me weep Your image scares me to sleep So I may dream of you And a world for two When in reality You are one And I am none So I tell triumphant stories to myself Like the past glories of someone else I direct movies in my mind My brain always on rewind To a time I crossed a line Painful memories to remind I don't know what I'm doing When your picture keeps moving In my mind film keeps burning In your mind film keeps turning Life is tough without you But that's because life is tough And now you're just another part Me another broken heart I was dealt my cards They got me this far Then shattered to shards Like the film of you That hit the cutting room floor The moment you walked out the door I developed strife From the memories I edited In your life Will I be credited?

Moving Pictures
A writer asked me long ago, For advice on getting better. He runs through his works with a fine-tooth comb, Sculpting each and every letter. I said,firstly sheath your fine-tooth comb, For blood-lust it will only bring, And undress your cliche armour sir, For it only numbs the sting. And then I said, with cigarette lit, Be not ashamed of all your vices, You're allowed to care; and it's fine to swear -- It's allowed, if you can write it. Don't do this **** for fortune, For fame or to be credited, And if you want advice on writing well -- Keep that **** unedited.

Unedited.
The master copyist hath made an appearance Without being given the proper clearance He's just blown in at another poetry site One bets he'll be at his usual caper Plagiarizing poet's work on his paper Twas noted that he'd come to have a look For poems which he could put in his own nook None can be credited as a true write This chap is serial at knocking things off No wonder we should of him verily scoff   As bold as a brass **** he was stealing Slipping under the radar's scope to ******   He's made that locale his casual patch Hope he hasn't purloined those poet's writing

Purloined (Rosarian Sonnet)
When the raps are givin' Lyrically by me I'll leave ya  head spinnin' Like a disco ball Haters on the gall But all I do is make one phone call I got homies to hoes pack 44s Check the iced chromed door Of jeep four by four Ya sweet as a nectarine When I hit the scene I turn ****** skin green Brooklyn bounce more to the ounce The drunker I get The harder I hit The more some ones bound for a casket No remorse check the source I was credited before I was edited The Black Capone I'm raps chaperone its my love jones Me and my ***** my gun Close like lelo and stitch Got multiple attitude so I'm rude switch Personalities So nobody can keep a tally on me Its me the big the biggest competitor Leave ya competition in sweaters Cuz I'm cold as anartica Glocks stay blazin' hot than africa Bomb flows like Boston massacre Who asking ya? About me the only yosef mos def With the mathematics statics I crash it if ya show y'ass? I'll cash it Put you on the corner Reckless ruthless as Ike to Tina Turner Embrace the dread **** the feds Still taking my daily bread Born sinner this is the philosophy of a winner Ya unknown like Brian Skinner Thinner ya need up ya weight son Cuz ya falling lame son uh the don Back to set the record straight If ya gotta problem I'll.make ya death date U see me I see u Bullets hit ya temple now ya in ICU Cuz I'm young witty and nasty and clean Saw ya fuckin' head off if ya know what I mean??
