BLACK

Dark blue is the color of depths of the oceans view

darkening

harking

us to go deeper where dark spirits can debut

dreaming

bringing

nightmares to young-in's minds to sleepily construe

creeping

crawling

from dark closets in throws of dream-lands to pursue

sleeping

waking

in the middle of the night, black deeds will ensue

searching

yearning

for a better life, black light just seems to accrue

bruising

breaking

daylight with war colors begging for black and blue

fighting

raging

blood red with anger, hateful black thoughts coming through

moonlight

shining down

vampires in black capes, eyes pink with lust for beauty

feasting

roaming

the night skies, black hearts searching through time for bootie

killing

bloodletting

turning black as it dries, fields of the dead, spooky

hiding

in the closet

unable to find true light, black going kooky

yearning

for chi

feeling lost in a nigh-mare, black colors duty

drinking

getting drunk

lost in a stupor, not knowing you are goofy

waiting

impatiently

getting angry, seeing red, light is gone, sooty

talking

gossiping

about friends or family, black senses snoopy

giving

taking

from your parents, black acts foster insensitive

expecting

devouring

more than you can handle, black is an expletive

feasting

overeating

black is obesity, feeling too negative

dating

oversexed

taking advantage, black is hypersensitive

avoiding

ignoring

those in dire need, black souls are too competitive

polluting

greedy

bastards show how black art at best is tentative

hating

abusing

others is bigotry, black is repetitive

using

bleeding

others dry, black is surely degenerative.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

It takes hard experience to learn how to relieve stress

reworking

sashaying

doing role play and worshiping nature without duress

inhaling

exhaling

the third eye focused, in solitude, psyche to suppress

alluding

deluding

the mind leads to undisciplined development, distress

misleading

repeating

lessons learned wastes time, increasing stresses creates a mess

believing

embracing

religion and spirituality oft may oppress

impressing

depressing

stories lead to bad feelings and tendencies to transgress

misreading

depleting

resources makes learning harder, in time you will regress

receding

impeding

others experience in life lessons will minds suppress

controlling

bestowing

false ideologies on the young causes slow progress

awareness

tenderness

lead to acceptance of the teacher, a sense of noblesse

commencing

condensing

may help someone learn if they are able to acquiesce

patiently

tastefully

showing the path to harmony, a sense of real finesse

detailing

regaling

successes, compassion for failures, helps to coalesce

plateauing

imploding

self esteem gets lost in depression, caught up in largess

reliving

suffering

from bad experiences, rehashing lessons, obsess

forgiving

existing

in full awareness of nature, having no real regrets

discerning

relearning

when new facts dictate such, with new frontiers we must assess

reforming

deforming

what we seem to know, while relearning when time to address

disarming

affirming

lessons learned, life's vicious circle is like a game of chess.
