I had now arrived at my seventeenth year, and had attained my full height, a fraction over six feet. I was well endowed with youthful energy, and was of an extremely sanguine temperament.

Certainly paleontologists have found samples of an extremely small fraction, only, of the earth's extinct species, and even for groups that are most readily preserved and found as fossils they can never expect to find more than a fraction.

Hoping Of Happy New Year
Hoping of happy New Year
The year has passed
The New Year has arrived
All the pains sadness and angriness has become past
All the happiness, sweetness and love has arrived
All the sickness, Madness and childness has gone
All the matureness, intelligence and hopes has arrived
My all the things are now my past
My all concentration is just focusing on future
New Year has arrived with hope
A hope of goodness in everything
A hope that my country will be in peace
A hope that all problems may come with a simple solution
May my all the relations become more sweet and loveable?
May my all pathetic memories be just past
May my life be quite simple
May my life be full of joy
Past year is a past don’t matter what was it
But the future is unknown and unseen
Don’t know that what will happen
Just hope that everything will be good and ok
So I hope that every hope will not just hope
Hope we can say next year with hope that Happy New Year

In a Child's Eyes
Awareness of self and others.
Curiosity, an inquiring mind.
Honesty, no falsehood here!
Impishness, playful spirit.
Love, without price or condition.
Desire to please and amuse.
Sweetness of temperament.
Energy, a force of nature!
Youthful exuberance.
Expressiveness, no words needed.
Simplicity, clarity of mind and vision.
All this to be found - in A CHILD'S EYES!

I was pretty much prepared because I was already playing in extremely good ways when I arrived from Europe because I played jazz four or five years before I arrived here.

A Distressing Bedtime
It is now bedtime, the soldier of times,
We sleep half of the night, just tonight.
The rooms of a leap year are vast,
It was bedevilled with ghosts far too superior
To the motley crew of ghouls last year,
A clue of them died, like a crown of kings.
Distressing paws of blood escaped just past the day,
A dialect arrived by mind, of a faraway language.
The paws of a wolf became the dream of a naughty kind,
Lines of light arrived and departed.
It was now bedtime again, the very next night,
Full of mystery and suspense.

Shield and sword
Each one is endowed with intelligence
and energy.
Intelligence abundant, one stays safe.
Energy abundant, one grows powerful.
One is a shield and the other, a sward.

Her mystery or my insanity?
With a fair skin that she hasn’t,
With a cute face that she hasn’t,
With youthful stage that she is past,
She is still in command of me
With sexual energy in full.

Golden Energy
Golden energy
For the guy or gal
Whose had a hard hard day
Golden energy
To help you meet the demands
Of an energetic mate
Or a red hot date
Golden energy dripping down on you
Golden energy
Natural aphrodisiac
Golden energy
Working hard to keep you on full
Pumping iron all the way
Keeps you from being too
Too tired
Rootin bootin sure fired
Golden energy meets all requirements
Posts no bills
Poots no guff
Needs no prescriptions
Golden energy handle if you care
If you dare
Help yourself to another share

Esther, A Sonnet Sequence: XI
Beyond her sat a second monster. She
In shape and sense was undisguisedly real,
An ox--eyed queen of full--fed majesty
And giant height and comeliness ideal.
She too her tale related, as was due,
In measured tones, her age, her birth, her name,
Bourgeois her parents, friends of order too,
And good Imperialists of honest fame,
Her age eighteen, her height seven feet, her waist
An ell and more in its circumference,
Her leg above the knee, and where was placed
Its point of full development. . . The sense
Of the rest I lost, for laughing half aloud
Again a woman touched me in the crowd.

Bravely Speak
To be in brave company I bravely speak,
Under the trees of gold and silver the sleep
Is my enemy, of the offerings and glad tidings.
On this solid mattress we call the world
Stays a skewering mind,
Minds have arrived to be delighted.
The actual fraction of life shall fade
Towards the acts of the almighty whisperers,
That at the end of the day
Are solid in their troubles as much as you.
To be in bravery is like stealing the casket,
And believing in whiskey,
Full with wines of the ultimate health
And ultimate design.

Singing By Myself (Revised)
A gratifying result combining temperament
chart with personality type - seem to have
been choleric and sanguine before but the
experience of years abated it to tolerance -
a phlegmatic trait; and melancholic - arts
and music are my life
Not sanguine, a cheerful attitude at work
conceals emotions, no choleric desire to take
charge of others, what a relief, it is disastrous
not meeting expectations: at school I played
and sang for mom - singing in choirs is great,
but mingling with others is not;
I love songs but cannot perform on stage;
without mom I am an a-social melancholic;
remaining behind scenes, singing by myself
shocked by paraphrase ignoring rhythm and
sound, only meaning and grammar taken
into consideration -
Ironically music is the love of my life and not
my income source - while translating offers
musical lines of many languages, creating lyrics
for songs I can sing along, keeping my melodic
spirit alive until enjoying the raw delight of
musical poetry…
[ORIGINAL: ]
Combined temperament chart with personality
type, gratifying result - I seemed choleric and
sanguine before but after years of experience
prove to be tolerant - a phlegmatic trait; and
melancholic - arts and music my life
I'm not sanguine, a cheerful attitude at work
hide my emotion, no choleric desire to take
charge of others - what a relief, life seemed
a disaster not meeting expectations: at
school I played and sang for mom
Singing in choirs is great, but mingling with
others is not; I love songs but cannot per-
form on stage; without mom I am an a-
social melancholic; remaining behind
the scenes, singing by myself
Shocked by translation ignoring rhythm and
sound, only meaning and grammar taken
into account - why should music be the
love of my life - yet cannot be my
source of income - luckily
Translating offers the musical lines of many
languages, creating lyrics for songs, I can
sing along, keep my musical spirit alive
until enjoying the delight
of music in poetry…

Bio-Energy
Energy exists in different forms:
Thermal energy, electrical energy,
Magnetic energy, chemical energy,
Wind energy, solar energy and et al.
Bio-energy consists of chemical,
Thermal, electric, magnetic energy.
Bio-energy confines to bodies
And is distinct from their counterparts
That exist outside the living bodies
In that it as a unit cannot exist
Without the living mass in any way,
That it ceases when bodies disintegrate,
And that it transmits through reproduction.
Bio-energy is only expandable.
