Renovated Much Too Late
Redone.
Refurbished,
And...
Renovated much too late.
Although...
Updated are amenities.
But...
There is something that will never please,
A mind re-arranged.
And...
Enlightened by the changes,
Of the times.
Redone.
Refurbished,
And...
Renovated much too late.
Although...
Updated are amenities.
But...
There is something that will never please,
A mind re-arranged.
And...
Enlightened by the changes,
Of the times.
And when times have changed,
Many leave what 'was' behind.
No matter who wishes to have it redesigned.
Since when times change,
Many seek a freshness to find.
Leaving what 'was' that could have been left behind.

Elighten And Enlightenment
something disturbs
me about the verb
to enlighten and the
word
enlightenment:
as a kid,
-i mean when i was, ....
sometimes I am.... childish and
and unworried irresponsible....party no party gay...-
being enlightened
had to have
some connection with light...
the sun of the day's light,
the candle's light by night,
someone flashes light into your face with force,
or
someone deprive you from light so you can see it
better...
as a kid
light and enlightenment
were two identical twins....
it took me
years....
i mean decades....to figure out that
being enlightened
has nothing to do with light
(any form of photonic, electric-magnet, hi frequency vibration, and strings energy....)
a touch is is an enlightenment,
being disturbed is an enlightenment,
freeing you chest is one of the greatest personal discovery....
being nice is an enlightenment...
being a prince-
....high rank, no starts, multi-galaxies explorer, self earned respect-
being a f-Uker in a good way...i Woman's energy sucker....

When a fool becomes enlightened, the wise man is in trouble.
Feeling Quite High and Mighty
You have stopped with your dazzle.
And I am done questioning my daze.
We have reached a mutual boredom that has come.
Hopefully to welcome,
A more enlightened phase!
I have sobered from an intoxication,
That has stood me nearly on my feet.
With eyes wide open now...
I think!
And teeth ready to bite,
Ripping away delusions...
Kept dimmed in my sight.
You have stopped with your dazzle.
And I am done with my daze.
We have reached a mutual boredom,
That has come.
Hopefully to welcome,
A more enlightened phase...
Assisted by this coke and rum!
Refreshing a haze.
'Leave that alone!
I'm not done!
I am not a drunkard.
Nor am I a bum! '
I am not perplexed,
By my wishes to reject and disconnect!
I am hoping you a better best yet.
But I see our sparkles have been flawed...
By choosing to shine like rhinestones,
After being chewed and gnawed.
I am ready to glisten like a diamond now.
Tired am I of accepting the expected!
It has been stated but then over-rated.
But I know that I can...
And I will,
Shock and awe!
Yes,
I am...
Feeling quite high,
And mighty!
And...
So what?
Don't be rude,
Or interrupt!
