Another Look at the Oldies

lf It's Up to You to Amuse Yourself

He was the maddest of men,
and he was my best friend.

When his music got loud,
his lyrics grew lurid;
but that
didn't matter at all.

We were having sunbathing weather,
in September!
Didn't make sense, I know ...
tomorrow seemed so carefree.

I suppose we will pay for this
come the dead of winter,
when cold takes over the show:
it all becomes the remnants of a dream.

Intense brightness of the sun,
glowing unnaturally,
will unseasonably aid
an Indian Summer Suntan.

Complexion:

Roll up your sleeves
or undo a button
and enjoy
the attention you receive!

PASSION

Uncommon need and determination.

You're not really sure you're as good as you think you are.

This Architecture is the natural ordering of yourself.

Visual Art, Dance, Music, Song, Composition, Sculpture,
Literature, Theatre, Drawing, Painting, Performance

Your `'`HEARTBEAT '`' pulses a natural rhythm.

Feeling is directly related to light, nature, movement and mood.

Exactness and Preciseness are the children of Truth.

Perfect pitch, exact hue, intonation, tempo, articulation...

All adjusting to the benefit of the whole.

BE all you were born to DO.

Your soul is absolutely unprepossessing direction.

You must know where it is you are going.

No one knows this better than you.

Open up and share - go beyond your comfort zone
and contribute passionately with who you truly are.

That is The Art of Life.

OUR IMAGINED FUTURE COMES INTO BEING

Cherish moments, people, places, events, ...
You translate what you want to share with others.

It requires all of your focus.

Understand how Life Changing each path becomes.

You never know when it's going to happen.

Practice, Practice, Practice: LIBERATION

Just Do It!

It's everything you expect it to be, and more ...

CHANGE is less Absolute: TRANSMUTE

Working hard prolonged continuos,
respite offers some repose.
Establish and confirm confidence...
upsets weaken and unsettles;
effectual energy ever expended,
powerless, I'm fed upon.
Everywhere I see reason,
blind faith, no debate.
Time being awesome Achilles,
condition anchors controlled sequence.
Truth strictly always endless,
this hour offers fallacy.
Adapt, apply, arrange, attach...
loosen, disturb, unbolt, unbind...
change from working caterpillar,
into the delightful butterfly.

Insure A Joyful Tomorrow

Love makes everything affordable.
Acrimony destroys this accounting.
High-yield earn checking accounts.
Piggy Bank's my friend.
Ascending and descending budgets,
level the Playing Field.
Today's possibilities teasing magnificently,
future tipped off balance.
Promise a joyful tomorrow.
Heed the hurtful signs.
Good Life certainly frivolous.
Sorrow needs some overtime.
Hollywood Design, all one-of-a-kind.
Vintage clothing is affordable.
Money can buy self-acceptance.
Dreams won't cost a dime.
`Couture is High Fashion.
Barrio neckline plunging down.

EVEN NOW

The first kiss melted my hard heart,

disarming, it blew me away;

unfamiliar, this foray,

pleasurable right from the start.
