EXERCISE ON COUPLETS…
PURE OIL, SERENITY & TRUE
RELIGION
RELIGION
BIBIAN
PURE OIL
Caressing my strands
You reached for my nape
SERENITY
Lost in the beauty of this dance
…makes me take me
TRUE RELIGION
Spread your wings
Bless these flings.
JOSIAH
PURE OIL
I tasted it; it
felt so strong… my heart longed for more.
felt so strong… my heart longed for more.
I couldn’t have
wasted those minutes, so healthy like pure oil
wasted those minutes, so healthy like pure oil
SERENITY
Give me some
space; I’ll bring you some gain
space; I’ll bring you some gain
Choke me each
day, and I’ll leave you more pain
day, and I’ll leave you more pain
TRUE RELIGION
Turbans, seven
virgins, suicidal…
virgins, suicidal…
Oh, I was
mistaken, for it was nothing…the smell of the virgins
mistaken, for it was nothing…the smell of the virgins
TONY
PURE OIL
What smoothens life
must be applied pure
must be applied pure
Between frictions
that attraction lure
that attraction lure
SERENITY
From the core
erupts every offer
erupts every offer
And vacuum can’t
a stillness proffer
a stillness proffer
TRUE RELIGION
Despite the
source, is no flow
source, is no flow
Of true belief so
profitably low
profitably low
BERNICE
PURE OIL
Gives you an
effeminate feeling
effeminate feeling
Falsely, deep
down it is cleansing
down it is cleansing
SERENITY
Letters and
numbers, numbers and letters
numbers, numbers and letters
I would place
separately to feel the soothers
separately to feel the soothers
TRUE RELIGION
In my darkest
moment, lights me up
moment, lights me up
Through the days
and nights, fills my cup
and nights, fills my cup
MALIK
PURE OIL
Divinity
condenses and pours down
condenses and pours down
My dust receives
and kisses the ground
and kisses the ground
SERENITY
Peace evades my
will
will
Peace? Be still.
TRUE RELIGION
I looked
everywhere for you…the stars and everywhere else
everywhere for you…the stars and everywhere else
My search ceased
when I looked into a calm stream and saw myself.
when I looked into a calm stream and saw myself.
