The Homeland Attired In The Chasuble Of Nerves…

A muscle is a muscle, and nothing else,
It is armed forces, power and weapon.
And the nerve of the muscle can
Ascend the mounts of reason…
It resists the power of the assault,
And the invader, too, seems exhausted.
Power is power, and force is force…
It ploughs even the mountain slopes.

A muscle is a muscle, and nothing else,
It is weapon, armed forces and power.
The troops of those muscles,
The muscles themselves
Make a very durable armor.
Muscles protect veins –
The current of life and being,
The willpower’s invisible shield.

The muscle of the heart
Is always on duty,
The pendulum of breath
Never tires out,
And the sound nerve
Encourages and inspires
All the virtues and merits
Of the universe…

A muscle is a muscle, nothing else.
The muscular world storms and rages,
And the sensitive wave of blood
Drills even the leaders and sages.
O muscle, keep awake, keep vigil!
Do not put out the fire of reason!
The homeland attired
In the chasuble of nerves
Quivers, rages and frets…

A muscle is a muscle, and nothing else,
It is armed forces, power and weapon,
And the nerve of the muscle can
Ascend the mounts of reason.
The troops of muscles,
The muscles themselves
Make a very durable armor.
Force is force…
It ploughs even the slopes,
And power is power…

Boom Boom

Boom boom boom boom
Is the sound your heart makes
When your relaxed, calm and at ease
Boom boom boom boom
Is the sound of your life beating away
Boom boom boom boom
Is the thing we hold close
because without it we are heartless

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Is the sound of your heart
When your speeding, playing, or fighting
It's the sound of your heart
When you pop the question to your one and only love

Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Is the sound of your heart
When your looking into someone's dying eyes
Bom bom bom bom bom bom bom
Is the sound of your heart
When you're facing death yourself


How is it that the same feeling of adrenaline and happiness
Makes your heart beat the same way when you are scared and afraid

How is it possible for something that we are unable to live without cause us both sadness and happiness

People say that the brain is the strongest muscle in your body
Because without it we will not be able to live a normal life
But I don't believe so because if your heart is able to withstand all those emotions I think that the heart would be considered the strongest muscle in your body
Because without a heart you (find something)

Because no matter what happens it just keeps on Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

Muscle

I got a popeye muscle
Although I'm not a sailor man
And I don't eat much spinach
At least not out of a can.

My name is not Olive
It isn't Bluto either
I know instead of lifting
I should've used a lever.

My popeye muscle looks swell
Just like I've been working out
But it's just the one arm you see
Which leaves a little doubt.

And it may not be clear to you
This was my biggest ordeal
I did it with great fervour
And enthusiastic zeal.

Well I just couldn't ignore it
Or leave it alone
I wouldn't have attempted it
If I'd foreknown.

It was a rockery garden
That I went and made
And because of this garden
My bicep muscle splayed.

Pangalay Dance

Pangalay dance
my first time to dance
has given me muscle pain
and has given me that little joy
when you held my hand
when I stumbled down
during practice
and, oh!
I almost wanted
to keep my hands
not be washed.

Pangalay dance
has given me muscle pain
but my heart was overjoyed
because my instructor
....was you.

The Onslaught Of Time (Fading Love)

My muscle memory fades
With the onslaught of time

That is...

My muscle memory of you
Inside my dwindling arms

Your soft skin grows hard
Hard to remember
As my heart follows suit
On this wintry night

My emperor butterfly kiss
Once guided by the wind
Gets returned nowadays
Because lamentably
It can't find its way to you
And neither can I

But I'm the one who's lost
Lost without you here Love

I miss you!

I Want To Have

I want to have a heart that’s Holy
I want to have a heart tuned into God.
I want to have a heart that sends love
With each beating hearts muscle throb.

I want to have a heart of pure Mercy
For all of God’s children here on earth.
I want to have a heart of Joy in abundance
From which God’s power was Virgin birthed.

I want to have a heart of true compassion
That opens up for all in need.
I want to have a heart that spreads God’s word
In each word which planted seed.

I want to have a heart of Christ
That it beats but only for Him above.
I want to have a heart that is filled with Him
To bring to Him one day, to Heaven above.

Sonnet: Functions Of Poetry

In Poetry, the Bard's inpired heart,
Reveals its feelings in a wordy way;
Adhering to the basic rules of art,
And making life delightful everyday.

At times, ‘tis wholly the play of our mind;
Sometimes, an exercise of word-painting;
Good things in it, the readers always find,
That helps to live better by God-loving.

And Poetry must stand the test of time;
The best way 'tis to depict life as such;
And suggests ways to make it more sublime;
Affording readers with a magic-touch.

Yet, Poetry must reign supreme for long,
Tho' change with times just like a modern song.

Overcoming A Writer's Block

Stretch!
If you can't stand up,
stretch as many muscle groups
as possible while
staying seated.

Try tensing and
releasing various
muscle groups.
Starting from your toes,
tense up for perhaps
five to ten seconds
and then let go.

Relax and
then go on to
another muscle group.

Breathe deeply.
Close your eyes;
then,
fill your chest cavity
slowly by taking
four of five short deep breaths.

Hold each breath
until it hurts,
and then let it
out slowly.

Use a calming word
or mental image
to focus on while relaxing.

If you choose a word,
be careful not
to use an imperative.
Don't command
yourself to

'Calm down! '

or 'Relax! '

Jimmy Carter

I believe that anyone can be successful in life, regardless of natural talent or the environment within which we live. This is not based on measuring success by human competitiveness for wealth, possessions, influence, and fame, but adhering to God's standards of truth, justice, humility, service, compassion, forgiveness, and love.

Muscle And Bone

GOD creates out of muscle and bone
Man creates out of steel and stone
Man builds his structures to grow and rise,
To sail the waves or touch the sky.

GOD gives life to the breeze
To move the clouds, or plant the seeds
To bring the rain upon the earth
And to quieten the pain when it comes to hurt.

Man creates with dexterity and complexity
To advance our race or to build our city,
Though man cannot create a leaf,
Though he can, destroy a seed.

Though man can create out of steel and stone
But only GOD can give life to muscle and bone.

Epic of Life -33

Chase of money, wealth and money power
Lands human being in grief and despair.
The greed for the duo is quite insatiable
To achieve contentment, he can not be able.

Chase of ultimate power too is quite dangerous
The journey for the same is too much perilous.
Near absolute power, may it be money or muscle
Creates optimum enemies ready to him jostle.

Extreme of anything is often disastrous,
The best possible policy suggested Confucious
For mortal beings to adopt path golden middle,
Best it is to eat sugar being an ant little.

Money and also muscle are nodoubt necessary
For every one living to over-come his worries.
Money as also muscle as well as good health
Are means of living n can not be end ultimate.

Sheila Says

It took me a while to get used to the slow smoky style of this number. iris tramms first song. its now one of my favorites. iris has a dog, a german shepherd named meadows, who is an important
Acter in the story. she sings to him about her disillusionment with men, hence the refrain thats why I live with my dog. the song hints that nevertheless falling for norman paperma
Coconut grove iris sang to an amazingly lifelike puppet dog, whitch all but upstaged her, and won the audience affection all though the evening.
Shelia says the heart is just a muscle
Shelia says the heart is cooled by time
Hiding out for years down in these trade winds
In the land of coconuts and limes
Chorus:
Ive played this game for too long
My lifes just one same old song
Now marooned for a time on this island
I go into and out of the fog
And thats why I live with my dog
Instrumental bridge
Men oh, men oh, oh men Ive known to many
Deceivers cloaked in clumsy vanity
What men lack in love and understanding
They make up in stupidity
Chorus:
But now and then one comes along
And lights up my world like a song
I am tempted to unleash my interest
Yet I put it to you mans best friend\
Theres just one sad old way it can end
Bridge:
We have our faults
But men have only two
All that they say
All that they do
Youre a joy and a friend and a guardian
Never bored with my sad monologue
Youre better off with a dog
Sheila says the hearts just a muscle
Sheila says the hearts just a muscle

Springing With Mistakes

A mistake majestically springs to mind,
Divined by helpers, confined and solved;
My kind line confines me, bromine is around,
A little deadness suffices careering into the life.
Let the mid-wife be in strife, with wildness,
Without a pocket-knife, and let her see the pens.
Writing matches the reading, so does accosting,
And adhering to glue, we strive and acquaint.

Lets Put The X In Sex

I got a letter just the other day
She sent a picture, but she didnt sign her name
She wore high heels and a little black lace
I knew her body, but I couldnt see her face
She didnt leave a number, not an address or a clue
But something in that photograph reminded me of you
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
I got a call in the middle of the night
Heavy breathin never sounded quite so nice
She said oh yeah, I wish that I was there
I asked who was calling, but she wasnt playing fair
Sometimes you gotta suffer for the pleasure that you seek
Youre beggin for an eyeful but you only get a peek
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
I heard somebody knockin so I opened up the door
She wore a hat, shades, and a trench coat
Wasnt wearin that much more
She said she knew my secrets but I didnt have a clue
Then I saw those black lace panties and I knew that it was you
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
Lets put the x in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
Lets put the x in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
Lets put the x in sex
Loves like a muscle and you make me wanna flex
Baby, lets put the x in sex

The Heart

This heart
used to beat a rhythm
joyous
pure
simple
and catchier than a pop song

O this heart
used to make men cry
and make women believe
in promises again

This heart
had me thinking like a dove
flying with clouds
proving that the Earth
was not the only destination

O how this heart
used to talk to the stars
learning the universal secrets
sharing those secrets to voices
whom spoke in a similar rhythmic value

But now...
O, but now...

This heart just beats
to pump coagulated blood
in my veins

This heart
is just a muscle
supporting these eyes
which are stained

Now this heart's voice
is silenced by the penis
who grows
penetrates
dominates
and degrades

Becoming a man
is not of this heart

But consequently
this heart is now
of the man
