if it's genuine, it will certainly stand the length of days

and nights,

for all time and even beyond anyone's adverse blight

more than a promise

forever.

not determined by whims of fate

suck of the draw

laughter or

spewing out hate

from those who merely speak

sanctimonious platitudes full of deceit.

so certain they are beyond reproach 

with their pulled out lips,

shameless disgrace 

upon this human race

as all you can hear are hens clacking...

emotions high or not 

doesn't factor

when it's real

straight from the heart and soul of one

who has sipped the nectar sweet

who has walked those desert lands

spellbound by the mirage

thirsting for the unattainable,

cherishing the very presence

true treasure

:: you're right, sweet alisa... and you said it so beautifully that i'm overwhelmed and inspired to battle it out with those who think they are "beyond reproach"... to prevent them from hijacking my share of peace which is my "true treasure"... :: beautiful work...
