Revenge is sweet Like the taste of a candy When you first tasted it Revenge is bitter As bitter as medicine or Maybe bitter than that They said revenge is best served cold They also said that revenge is as sweet as sugar Basically revenge is a sugary ice cream Well for me A revenge is like sweet honey Hostile than bitter gourd A bittersweet revenge One that hurts and vigorous At the same time

Sweet Revenge
flower whose well fed, which love and happiness was led to dance with the wind with the free mind are either lucky, or unfortunate, as the joy feed by their love ones, could affect them nor normalize it's their choice not to value things, and to accept things as it is you're either a rose or a sunflower, you may be an azalea, but you're still a flower, and it's your choice to be a vigorous flower, or to be a wilted flower

Life caught a baby eagle: Injured, alone and named Hope. Fell from a tree; would have Ended Hope's days probably. To bring him home wouldn't be Entering Hope into the Chaotic world of men, Home of addiction to New coined technology On making men's work easy? Life didn't has a choice though; On Hope's left wing was a **** as big as her index Yet to be healed by Psyche next. In the home, with Life's mother Night and into the day, Neighbors in and pushed out, Over the wing they both worked. Vigorous task it might be, A life of a bird depend, Together they had made Impossible into Optimistic victory: New metallic wing awaits the world.

Life, Technology, Innovation
An Epithaliamium So Man, grown vigorous now, Holds himself ripe to breed, Daily devises how To ********* his seed And boldly fertilize The black womb of the unconsenting skies. Some now alive expect (I am told) to see the large, Steel member grow ***** Turgid with the fierce charge Of our whole planet's skill, Courage, wealth, knowledge, concentrated will, Straining with lust to stamp Our likeness on the abyss- Bombs, gallows, Belsen camp, Pox, polio, Thais' kiss Or Judas, Moloch's fires And Torquemada's (sons resemble sires). Shall we, when the grim shape Roars upward, dance and sing? Yes: if we honour **** If we take pride to Ring So bountifully on space The ***** of our long woes, our large disgrace.

Prelude to Space
Arriving at the entrance of the ancient temple the white rabbit covered his ears. Shattering glass from a high-pitched vibration he leaped away from a falling chandelier. “I must find our beloved Harvest Moon." The white rabbit said to himself. With stern affirmation, a dark fog churned then into the vortex he was consumed. He stopped at the entrance of the temple courtyard; everyone was frozen like statues. "What has she done to all of you?" He cried, then pulled out a magic rune deflecting a hail of daggers. The white rabbit looked up at a floating cocoon and saw the shadow witch hovering over the temple roof. Pale skin and veins glowing red, she was draped in a black tattered robe. With a sinister look and a Crown of Fire on her head the shadow witch spoke. “White rabbit, white rabbit the Harvest Moon is dead!" The white rabbit took leaped back then cried out. "This cannot be so!" Then he pulled from his bag a magic scroll and read the words written in gold. "I ask the wind to protect me from this dark magic despair" Then he conjured a circle of trees in a water globe. The witch streaked across the air and swung around her jet-black hair. Then she commanded an infestation of spiders to climb inside the trees and explode. Barricading himself inside a magic bubble he was protected from the onslaught of shrapnel. The white rabbit grabbed the water globe, leaped into the air, and disappeared in a puff of amber smoke. The shadow witch pulled out a blood-red pearl and murmured an incantation. "Clever white rabbit, I shall find you in the invisible world" The white rabbit snapped his fingers then magically appeared behind her. He snatched off the Crown of Fire from her head then whispered the following words. "How dare you use dark magic on me!" She jumped in fear spinning around, then summoned a devil hound. The white rabbit raised the water globe and merged it with the crown. A shock wave of light pulsated in the air then the witch menacingly yelled. “Take him down!” The white rabbit saw in his peripheral view the hound lunge to attack. But he was too cunning for this, with a symbolic wave and a vigorous slash the hound was severed in two. The shadow witch glared, then cried out. “We shall meet again white rabbit; I promise you I'll be back!” Then she summoned a fiery cauldron and vanished with a blinding flash. The white rabbit ran inside the temple and approached the Harvest Moon. He stared with eyes full of tears and sorrow at a beautiful princess with hair long and blue. A beautiful creature he so desired, the love he had for her was true. He opened his bag and pulled out the globe which was now encased with the Crown of Fire. "I brought you a gift from the shadow witch" Then he smashed the globe and with a flash of light, the Crown of Fire was finally free. The white rabbit held the princess and spoke. "I have always served you because I love you and now, I command you to come back to life!" Then he placed the Crown of Fire on her head igniting a ring of light. The white rabbit looked down to see the Harvest Moon Princess opening both of her eyes.

Patriotism (Googlism)
I hear a wind whispering from the hills It comes down tickling the woodland rills From far is heard the frightened murmur of leaves As it pounces on them like wayside thieves It shakes the branches of flowering trees And their weak petals drop like confetti in the breeze Over hills and trees it loves to skip and stray Always in motion, never inclined to stay It moves unhampered over streams and field With no resistance to its might, they simply yield Like a child, it romps over the sloppy meadows In its gentle touch, dances the gleeful flowers It skillfully pleats the blue chiffon of the ocean Sometimes curling waves in electric motion Over the sea it runs puffing up the sails And over the sky heaping clouds in bales Sometimes it steals furtively like a lover And disappears kissing our cheeks under cover Often it comes capering with a lilt and a swing We feel delighted when we hear its merry song Like a nomad, the wind roams from place to place, Hiding its mysterious presence from our glance From an unknown hide out it comes like a spirit But always making us feel its vigorous might! At times it gains force and roars like a beast Felling trees and wreaking havoc with its twist In rampage, it sweeps the sea and the ground Triggering sparks of fear and horror all around

Invisible Presence
Underneath this myrtle shade, On flowerly beds supinely laid, With odorous oils my head o’erflowing, And around it roses growing, What should I do but drink away The heat and troubles of the day? In this more than kingly state Love himself on me shall wait. Fill to me, Love! nay, fill it up! And mingled cast into the cup Wit and mirth and noble fires, Vigorous health and gay desires. The wheel of life no less will stay In a smooth than rugged way: Since it equally doth flee, Let the motion pleasant be. Why do we precious ointments shower?— Nobler wines why do we pour?— Beauteous flowers why do we spread Upon the monuments of the dead? Nothing they but dust can show, Or bones that hasten to be so. Crown me with roses while I live, Now your wines and ointments give: After death I nothing crave, Let me alive my pleasures have: All are Stoics in the grave.

The Epicure
# *Come explore my fantasy with thrills and spills galore. Let’s check our inhibitions and our morals at the door. It's colorful and vigorous (No "Fifty Shades of Gray"). The safe word will be "rainbow"...(You won't need it anyway.) Because this fantasy's a realm where denizens can dwell In peace and love and kindredship, where greed has lost its spell. Within this dream of dreams we'll find our secret heart's desire. And with it will come happiness that sets the heart afire. A time to wake from bitter dreams and steer a course of grace. And with this resolution, any crisis we might face.* #

Magic Carpet Ride
A little waiting Some vigorous pushing A quick look around On a shaky ground Grabbed the nearby seat Some rest to the feet In minutes squeezed inside By a woman on the same ride Awkward journey The CON for cheap money. Ticket punched Some snacks quietly munched Feel tall from the rest I am in a red BEST The driver is in a hurry I smell some fish curry Over a bridge Some dogs cringe Music for my ears No more travelling fears Nothing gone wrong Now I feel strong My stop is next Replying to a text Trip a little but its okay I think it’s a good day The red bus brakes My balance shakes I fly right on the drivers grill With my face drilled All eyes on me I can barely see I shiver as I walk the stairs No one even cares People just want to get to their destination And I stand numb at the bus station. -Zainab Attari

A mole of left breast !
SPREADEAGLED Bucharest, * Spread-eagled and naked in her crop circle - this one in a sunflower field: she’s a wheel of limbs, some sort of a ******** lusted after by the seed heavy flowers bowing to her curves like drooling surgeons. * She’s finished with running, waiting for the fading light to join the last of her loves, faded with processed proclamations of undying certainty which were a little worse for wear after courting and checked into intensive care soon after. * Love thought it had ducked its obligations, passed again like a heavy goods train in the night, shunted across the border while guards waved it on; interested only in sleep or beer. * But this time she’s making sure love returns, pays its duty and dues and hits its target. * So, splayed aryan and vigorous, apeing a pagan resurrection, she waits for the skydiver who – with precision confidence – happens to be bearing down on her charity target, slowly filling her with his ***** shadow. * She sunbathes under mirrors, she’s a real tough nut to crack. I repeat myself into her.

780 The Truth—is stirless— Other force—may be presumed to move— This—then—is best for confidence— When oldest Cedars swerve— And Oaks untwist their fists— And Mountains—feeble—lean— How excellent a Body, that Stands without a Bone— How vigorous a Force That holds without a Prop— Truth stays Herself—and every man That trusts Her—boldly up—

The Truth—is stirless
I am not a princess that needs to be saved. I am a broken warrior, a Valkyrie in distress. An echo of a forgotten strength that always comes back in vigorous ways. Sandoval

He grasps stardust in his Hands Sand they turn truly lovely In one hand  The edges glint golden rusty and Brown they turn The color of lovely shriveled  late  Autumn leaves They sink soundly to the ground   Smell of raw; Earthy taste moist like rich bread and wine  So red his lips have not  The look of innocence Stripped  naked like bark chiseled wood How I would love them forever My vain endeavour Still he lays partially Amongst the blotchy patch of shade as The Tree  Lovingly sways  To the sound of his Coos Darling he sleeps as the Sheep watch over him My little Sheppard boy Dreamingly sound May rippling waters of your subconscious mind settle to shore Tides emerge in deepest Blue Violently crash into the Crimson colored  rocky edge of the  Stone face cliff Now faced with thick Cumulonimbus clouds that  Cloud the dawn's last fiery  Light Streaks of lightening Silhouette whip upon his Face and like thunder the Lions  Roar not in pain  But in vigorous anger as The ringmaster bows at the Choking applaud of the Painted audience The wind unweaves grassy tangles in your hair Tormenting  suitors  Tease;  You messily please Imperfectly perfect that you are able to  Appeal as effortlessly Dressed in natures blend Like a jar of  Roasted nuts Of assorted trail mix Still You lay there  Decorated in earth's blankets of roots Grass Twigs leaves Oh How it hurts to leave I'd sit here loving you Instead  Twist peering down upon Deepest desires Swept in eternal sleep Longingly I join your slumber Drift into dream where I  May wake up finding you Beside me Where sleep steals me upon Your shoulder  Warmth of arms lightly Grasped Dawn red as a match in the Distance slowly  Smothered Surrendering to nights cold Silence But the stars  Whispers of compliments to The moon Each night loved you kindly Each star a kiss upon your Cheek May the stars love you Sweeter than they have Loved me But darling I've loved you  Forever

~ *When Pharaoh checked out at the Red Sea, odd circumstance made a grab for his vacant scepter, and kingdom collided with plague to paint a mural on the palace wall (or maybe, it was the hotel lobby), of a dreamer's garden, his wife in veils, her dance a cordial invitation to a great many unmentionable things, the feral sky had blown itself out, and in muted candle nightshade, the mistress of war disembarked, and so somewhere in those upper rooms, ruler and consort, hearing the sound of running water, mystified their carnal senses by infusing themselves with a little vigorous morphine of the soul* ~

*** in Egypt
In the black hills he lies, in his old Kentucky home. A passion within his mind, burning, despite the cold. He knows not what he is doing, thinking with a mind that is not his. He knows only that which can be known, and that is all there is. A wind is prevalent within him, one that chills him to the bone. Acting against his bitter nature, he stares down an unknown road. He swore he’d never act on impulse, he swore he’d never lose his mind. Focus was all he really had, then she came into his life. She takes away the security, the way he knows so well. But can she bring down his walls? Time will only tell. She entices him with greetings. With her, he feels so close. Still, he finds words escape him, in the presence of a black rose. No doubt that he fears change, and he fears what could be. He fears what he cannot control, and she is vigorous and free. Separated by a vast sea, yet strangely together in heart. He finds he knows not what to say, so he watches it fall apart. Act once on impulse, Twice on intuition. Act three is completely irrational, But brings this to fruition He tries to avoid reality, because he knows what it holds. He is absorbed within that passion, to avoid all the cold. In this old Kentucky home, among the black hills, he lies. Too fearful to take a chance, He’s found his spirit has died. And, so, by reaching out, he is met with only scorn. In reaching for that black rose, he has only grabbed her thorns.

Black Rose
All I want is to be naked I wish to be vulnerable I'm encased in a web of emotive calamity Trapped in cold stone and empty waves Locked in materialism, Social apathy suffocates me I need air... From the womb of modernity, Claustrophobia is born I gasp I need to feel free... I need to be held... I need to be exposed... This musty cell of modern depravity, Vanity, Pride, Self-seeking, Commercialism, Disregard, Apathy, Greed, Hate... It chokes me with the foul stench of death The scent that tells me darkness falls I can see no virtue in this prison A veil is pulled upon me, And I'm engulfed in merciless dissociation I need to drink crisp waters From the fountain of harmony I need to be caressed In the warm ***** of compassion I need to soar On the vigorous gales of freedom I need to be...naked Strip me of possession, Unravel my desires, Hold me in your arms, And let us be naked together! Cast off allure of material treasure, Come embrace your human pleasure! Somewhere outside this dark room Over the stone walls that encompass us, There is a light that sings to me I can break the walls and burn the bridge, Cast aside the past of ego And lead us to a world of dreams Would you follow me? Would you break the shackles of your possession? Cast aside the love of things, Replace it with the things of love? Have we drifted so far apart as a people That we have no room to breathe? I think not. This prison of emotive distress, This cage of idiosyncratic routine, This lockdown hysteria of need, It's merely a base from which to start The distance between us all Only leaves room for us to grow I can see the walls break down, The old facades are wearing thin, And I'm peeling away the trappings Of things I thought I knew But knew I never truly wanted With them, walls will break With them falls the cage And through the coming of the things I see so clear Like love and peace and harmony Nakedness and connectivity (No need for greed, No need for possession) I can see the walls tear down And with their fall I know it's coming: The day where all are free to fly.

This prison of emotive distress, This cage of idiosyncratic routine, This lockdown hysteria of need, It's merely a base from which to start The distance between us all Only leaves room for us to grow I can see the walls break down, The old facades are wearing thin, And I'm peeling away the trappings Of things I thought I knew But knew I never truly wanted With them, walls will break With them falls the cage And through the coming of the things I see so clear Like love and peace and harmony Nakedness and connectivity (No need for greed, No need for possession) I can see the walls tear down And with their fall I know it's coming: The day where all are free to fly.

Oh Bard, wielding a tool mighty and spiky Mightier than either the sword or rod, You reign as monarch in fancy’s domain Sketching life in all variety and mode Which with pain and strife fraught Or bright with gaiety and grace In finer yarn than the gossamer thread On a fabric of words in befitting verse You steal away from the noisy crowd Into the stillness of the cloistered cell To dwell with Fancy’s mystic charms Weaving downy dreams at will You recount forgotten tales of yore Of ****** battles won and lost, Of lovers united, amour defiled, Conjuring memories from abysmal past You hearken to the moans of lovelorn souls And sing of beauty in ditties fine Triggering sparks into flames grow In umpteen hearts that pine and whine Babbling with the brook rushing swift, Racing with the deer loping past, You wander into mysterious woods Where flowers, their richest odors cast Your ears intent on the song of birds That comes floating from the far off groves And the whir of cicadas on the bark of trees Breaking the calm of twilight eves Alone you saunter the stretching strands, Watching virulent breakers in fury heave Often your heart dancing with the tide And swinging with the rhythm of rising wave You feast on the gleam of the auburn sun And the speckled blue of the infinite skies Watching the day dying in flame And the night in a diadem of stars vies All that’s lovesome meets your eyes And commune to you in profuse delight Which you turn into rhyme and rhythm For the whole of mankind to devour and digest From your harp flow symphonies sweet Songs of longing, love and lust Of idyllic happiness, peace and bliss, Fuelling hearts with vigorous zest Though outlawed by the great sage of Greece, Branding the poet, aberrant and a fool Oft beneath the façade of his wayward thoughts, Lie heaps of wisdom for the discerning soul.

An Ode to a Bard
Oh Bard, wielding a tool mighty and spiky Mightier than either the sword or rod, You reign as monarch in fancy’s domain Sketching life in all variety and mode Which with pain and strife fraught Or bright with gaiety and grace In finer yarn than the gossamer thread On a fabric of words in befitting verse You steal away from the noisy crowd Into the stillness of the cloistered cell To dwell with Fancy’s mystic charms Weaving downy dreams at will You recount forgotten tales of yore Of ****** battles won and lost, Of lovers united, amour defiled, Conjuring memories from abysmal past You hearken to the moans of lovelorn souls And sing of beauty in ditties fine Triggering sparks into flames grow In umpteen hearts that pine and whine Babbling with the brook rushing swift, Racing with the deer loping past, You wander into mysterious woods Where flowers, their richest odors cast Your ears intent on the song of birds That comes floating from the far off groves And the whir of cicadas on the bark of trees Breaking the calm of twilight eves Alone you saunter the stretching strands, Watching virulent breakers in fury heave Often your heart dancing with the tide And swinging with the rhythm of rising wave You feast on the gleam of the auburn sun And the speckled blue of the infinite skies Watching the day dying in flame And the night in a diadem of stars vies All that’s lovesome meets your eyes And commune to you in profuse delight Which you turn into rhyme and rhythm For the whole of mankind to devour and digest From your harp flow symphonies sweet Songs of longing, love and lust Of idyllic happiness, peace and bliss, Fuelling hearts with vigorous zest Though outlawed by the great sage of Greece, Branding the poet, aberrant and a fool Oft beneath the façade of his wayward thoughts, Lie heaps of wisdom for the discerning soul.

Who shall declare the joy of the running! Who shall tell of the pleasures of flight! Springing and spurning the tufts of wild heather, Sweeping, wide-winged, through the blue dome of light. Everything mortal has moments immortal, Swift and God-gifted, immeasurably bright. So with the stretch of the white road before me, Shining snowcrystals rainbowed by the sun, Fields that are white, stained with long, cool, blue shadows, Strong with the strength of my horse as we run. Joy in the touch of the wind and the sunlight! Joy! With the vigorous earth I am one.

A Winter Ride
All day yesterday was the best day of my life Nothing went wrong, everything went right Tracking all the factors that helped make it so Reinvigorates me to continue with my goals There’s a thought that returns, maybe coincidental, But there is a common thread that is sequential Early in the morning is when I first saw you And at the end of the day you were in my rear view So you were there with me from sunrise to sunset Any moment we had together I never felt upset No awkward instances, only natural feelings No pressure to make myself seem more appealing You make me feel like I’m almost where I need to be To have something that you may one day need from me Leisurely I will continue to approach the situation Because this is a path that I want to keep straightened At the prime of our lives for the time of our lives We just have to be willing to hold on for the ride Hopefully I’ll have you before the towel’s thrown in Together we will laugh at what could have been All the bullets that we dodged and the ones still lodged Deep into our hearts, but they’ll seem like a mirage Compared to the dreams that we’ve chosen to live After each other’s hearts that we’ve chosen to give It feels so strange to be so close to these emotions I’m hopeful for the future, for once my mind’s open To all of the possibilities that life could deal to me I’m so thrilled to see what will be revealed to me Whatever happens to me, I need you to be there too Since I know with you there we could see it all through I can’t recall a single bad day in which you were involved Even in one of your foul moods I was still so enthralled That’s just the kind of person I will always choose to be Doing whatever it takes to always have you with me Especially when extreme patience is all that’s required I’ll work hard at this job, no way am I ever getting fired Committed until I’m beyond the age of being retired Whistling while I work until the day I might expire One day, to all these thought you won’t be oblivious One day I’ll pursue you with an attitude that’s vigorous Until that day comes I’ll patiently wait off to the side For an opportunity to make you my source of pride

One of his sick molars was jarring, crying foul, the root canal treatment she did, the first, on him made it quiet,it touched exactly the love nerve. Love sprouted,got rooted between the curvy dentist and him in exactly five sittings; the soil was fertile. The  romantic dentist seized his pining heart too quick, the causes and effects of that pain, she whispered, was similar to what she felt , when he whimpered leaning his head on her full ******* No reason he had, not to surmise she didn't do everything she should, to make his ailing tooth perfect. Coochiecooing to her, he even called her" the tooth fairy's baby girl" overwhelmed she gifted him a smooch. Each  sitting fallowed soliciting  that rare,tender dental care, on her cozy swiveling chair, brought them closer to bouts of  necking and things more adventurous, (may the medical ethics, pardon the pair!) Vigorous  narratives she breathlessly reeled off, on the state of his each tooth brought her more closer to the chair than what professionally was expected, her perfumed warm presence brought aches, not necessarily dental. A stinging pain on a root repaired at a time his 'root canal sweet heart' was away compels him to explore for a new chair. The horror of horrors, it was revealed here, a piece of broken iron implement his sweet heart, has left within the root; a  cover up as she couldn't retrieve it with her skills inept, it did aggravate, caused the pain! Isn't the  betrayal of the kids, in the name of tooth fairy,non existent   far less heinous, than a cheating like this! could any one blame him for this, to escape a bad tooth future,  he did the best one could; the comely tooth fairy that found the fault and mended it shows him his place in the swivel chair of her heart these days!
