"Les Fermiers" (The Farmers)

The tranquil setting of the country side allowed for reflection.

The pensive looks gave an air of wisdom.

When Bob realised that the loud bang he heard last night was due to the thermostat being left on full all night.

Half the farm was blown away and the animals ..some charred and some wandering free.

He scratched his chin as he looked on and said "All my years of farming and ive never thought that id be so stupid to cause so much chaos because of bloody new machinery!"

Time, Instance, Realisation and Existence

My earliest memory is a dark hole.

Subtly lit, with love and warmth preserving my soul.

Muted by the inability of coherent expression.

I battled to live with this inevitable precession.

Curious and hungry I looked on and waited

Not knowing what would come next by my choice or what would be fated.

A well watered child, I grew to learn of consequence

I found that with some of my deeds id grow in confidence.

This lead to my curiosity and a hunger for opportunities to seize

Some good, some bad some that fueled my current insecurities.

It seemed like forever, this life so convenient with me in the center.

But a linear curse of moving instances changed the rules of the game id enter.

As the only constant its reality is without fail nor changing pace.

Illusive and without a benchmark from which you’d start your race.

I bartered with the soil and reaped from its fruit.

I learnt to exploit the nectar of its roots.

I battled alongside the wind that beat the rocky shores.

One of many battles and one too many wars.

I walked the suns surface with calluses to prove.

My outer shell would harden and develop its signature grooves.

So now my reward ?? I’d ask the universe.

“In the positives around you your whole self you must immerse”

I looked on confused and regressed to being just a boy.

“Close your eyes” shed say “and tell me what fills your heart with joy”

I did as she asked and eventually understood what she meant.

Reflected on my journey and how the changing instances where spent.

Alas the lesson was clear, what where the next steps and how

All pointed to the notion of the “fierce urgency of now”.

To identify and tackle all what to do where and when

I swear to you that today shall never come again.

Think back to all those wonders and marvels missed

Simply for one reason you chose nothing more than to exist

So now take the reign do more, not less, let go and give.

Go beyond existing today look ahead and live.

This is how i like my women!!

Regal ,so much so that she is beffiting of royalty
To look in her dew covered eyes id have a true sense of her loyalty
Her lips, as succulent as the freshest and ripest fruits
With a perfectly toned voice that rival the sounds of heavens flutes
Her body, a perfect sculputure only to be touched by yours truly
A prescence, so soveriegn that even the blind will see
My queen, my friend, my partner for life
Her challenges are mine her pain and her strife
She will always have my best interests at heart
The first to build again when things fall apart
She takes pride in her man as I do in her
An unexplainable bond that none can deter
Her pert buttocks shaped to seductive excellence
She knows how to handle infectious and lustful compliments
The smell of her hair and skin sweet enough to inspire
And drive me on to set our standards higher
Although i seem fussy ill never stop willing.
This is simply just the way i like my women.
