MANTRA - The best of times are spent with family & friends. A good cigar and bourbon to compliment.

MANTRA

Fine cigar, whiskey double entendre

Sincere invitation and welcoming mantra

From one pronounced persona

In need of your assistance

To nourish a persistent

Insatiable play on words

Displayed in ways

That may have never been heard

Perspectives; the commodity

Expect to be at odds with me

Pressing to engage

In taking overdose of oddity

Thought to be unbearable

Until unexpected lessons

Come from uncommon pairables

Join me on the patio

Let’s get soaked in conversations

Where slow rolling smoke rings

Provoke articulations

To distort anticipation’s

Projected indiscretion

No remorse for interruptions

No reward or repercussions

Just open discussions

Courting Devil’s advocation

Every word repurposed

Every Verse a flirtation

Productively seductive

To love hate relations

Pouring in from the heavens

Slightest essence of repentance

Judged but never sentenced

Rest your wings

Pull up a seat

Angel’s Envy

Nice and neat

For warmer conversations

Two fingers deep

Repeat, repeat, repeat

Cohiba and Blanton’s

Release from the stable

Smoke and pour for the phantom’s

Open chair at the table

Token fare to be grateful

For every contributor

And degree they are able inventors

Reciprocating mentors

Manipulating roles

Collaborating efforts of self-control

In moments of currency

Spent wisely with others

For what to discover

For what to behold

Is that the infinite sum of one makes us whole

This is our community

Our common sense of unity

Dispensed with impunity

So none should ever fear it

True to the spirit

This is not an all or nothing

No my way or the highway

No protocol to violate

Just influential traits

To mental states

And relevant calls to action

Appropriate to insult

Or instigate unrest

When asked if I partake

I simply state

I do in jest

Attest to confrontation

On occasion

Damn near every inhalation

Or as often politicians

Are in any damnation

Without loss or hesitation

I am here to invest

In the present

For the future

Even if I must induce her

As for you sir

We have so much more to go through

Before either of us really gets to know you

Though what I do like best

Is to be the one impressed

For this reason I will host

Summon up the Gurkha Ghost

As it doesn’t get much better than

Four horsemen and a veteran

Everyone loves

The old American story

From childhood

To Guts

Then glory

Pain’s inspiration never boring

The Want-To-Be’s and never will’s

Standing by dissatisfied

Pacified

By the time it kills

Buffering the suffering

Inside them still

Considering alternatives

You only get one turn to live

Go execute the drill

While

Inherent gift of Hennessy

And this Fat Bottom Betty

Never really get to see

What they’ve meant to me already

Essentially forever

If we choose to never sever

These most important times

That bind our precious lives together
