R-ose- the beauty and blush of dawn
O-lfactory senses, it tickles and teases
S-weet scent, it gives off to the pristine air
E-arly spring’s late gift, the cynosure of all eyes!
Love is the lubricant of the soul and the emollient of the heart, both
Unguent and viscous, it glides like butter in the summer heat
Banish it from your life and suddenly everything will dry up, like a
Rose wilting by winter's call. Lubricate love with a sense of purpose
Invite joy to sit at your table and oil your dreams with hope.
Care for your inner self and nurture your mind and body....
A lubricant made of peace and forgiveness can reduce friction
Nature has a way of polishing and moisturizing the mind and
Truth be told, gratitude can be the greatest lubricant of them all.

Monocrostic (Birthday of Risa Bongado)
Hey, why are you copying me?
Every word I say you just repeat.
Lose the mocking attitude, please?!
Look at you, you're even trying to be me!
Overy and out, you're only just a tease.
My dear Mama, oh so dear,
A mother true, always near.
From childhood's dawn till present day,
You guided us, showed the way.
With "Sugar Boy" by your side,
Together you led, with love and pride.
To "Oko Eti-ose" and "Oko Okuku" farms,
We trekked, with loaded arms.
The roads were long, the loads were heavy,
I cried, but you helped me be brave.
Coming home, with weary feet,
You soothed my tears, made our hearts meet.
With meager pay, as teacher true,
You and "Sugar Boy" saw us through.
Education's doors, you opened wide,
Degrees acquired, our futures inside.
In pain, you helped; in need, you gave,
Ensuring food, a roof to save.
Your partnership, a shining light,
Taught me teamwork, day and night.
You and Papa, a perfect pair,
United, selfless, beyond compare.
No difference, in love and care,
You both showed us, how to share.
May your days be long and bright,
Filled with joy, love's warm light.
We recognize, your sacrifices grand,
Thank you, dear Mama, hand in hand.
Stand next to me, or wait, instead
Sit next to me upon the bed
Grab a blanket over there
One's enough, we both can share
Wrapped up inside, you and I
We'll watch as the parade goes by
Get close, so close, our faces press
Cheek to cheek in soft caress
Now if I want to give a kiss
Should I tell you first of this?
Or may I simply kiss away?
Parades are nice I have to say
But nicer still is sitting close
The parade is an excuse at most
For me to snuggle up to you
I think I've got the better view
Slumber at nightfall… Lose the detritus of mind... Eventually Each brain neuron recharges Presenting restoration
The sweetest voice I ever heard
Belongs to you, pretty Bluebird
Someday will you sing for me?
My name sung to a melody
That you make up, one all your own
That's just for me and me alone
Vanilla rose would be its scent
The Kiss its art equivalent
If you do, through happy tears
I'll love you for a thousand years
And yours I'll be until the day
My final breath takes me away
Love is a breath of fresh air in the park, a sapling inhaling sunshine
Open your heart to it and it will surely make you feel wonderful
Veer towards it and it will take you through the dance of life
Each and every one of us is capable of such, don't ask too much
Icebergs melt at the sight of it, icecaps too by Love's hemisphere
Sintillating emotions bubble up when it draws close, just enjoy it !
Eager to please love is always on the roll cruising right past go
Veer towards it and it will take you through the dance of life
Eye candy it is not, its much more than that, its enduring and strong
Regard it with great passion and zeal, for its something you can't steal
Grow with it and know that when its true love, it never dies, like the
Rose, even when the petals fall away the memory of its scent remains
Enameled in the heart forever and a day, Love is like an evergreen tree
Enlisted in nature's plea, it is always well taken care of, by the dovotee
Night never closes in on it without a sweet goodnight, love oh love, it is !
Ambitions betray
Cipher disrupting eradication
Ferocious guaranteed hate,
Induce justice keeping.
Lose manacles nationals
Overwhelmed, prejudicially
Quell resulting squawk.
Truly vituperating
Where xylophone yammer
Zealously

J-ust overmatch the opponent,
O-vercome the cruel covid;
M-itigate the adversary,
A-bate the enemy so
R-abid.
M-ightily overmatch the opponent,
E-liminate the formidable foe;
J-eopardy of being infected,
I-s causing worry and woe.
L-et your health and wellness win,
L-ose not the fight in torment;
A-lleviate the morbid menace,
N-icely overmatch the
O-pponent.

J-ust employ the antidote,
E-liminate the covid-nineteen;
N-icely advance and promote
N-eatness, health, and vaccine.
R-ight antidote is applied,
E-rasing the destroyer;
Y-ucky risk is just denied,
N-ations negate the killer.
A-lways wear face mask to protect
N-ose, eyes, mouth, and throat;
C-lose contact can infect,
I-mmediately use the
A-ntidote.
