Heaven is Earned 


Heaven Gained a New Angel by Ieris-Azer

We’re all looking for heaven

Looking for answers inside

Count to ten or eleven

Only then abide.

Journeys are long wrought with pain

Long perilous rocky climbs

Sometimes feeling all in vain

We must walk our lines.

Sadness and beauty fill our lives

The contrast can’t be ignored

Journey filled with sharpened knives

Or even a sword.

The hardest lessons are learned

Walk against the stiffest breeze 

All the while the world still turned

See flowers and trees.

For later on, we look back 

Seeing how far we have come

Our accomplishments all stacked

And we know we’ve won…

The Writer’s Mind

My 

Mind 

Is filled

With deep thoughts

Craftily delving 

Into bright words that all just fit 

Far 

From

normal

Different

My mold was broken

Revel in nonconformity.

So 

If 

You see 

Me walk by

You needn’t worry

I’m just buried in my writing…

Life And Death and Dreams 

Life’s a fine line we all walk

Choose careful words when you talk

Many puzzles have been solved

Grow and evolve like corn stalks.

Death an end or beginning

Live each day, keep on grinning

Don’t waste a single moment, friend

In the end we’re all winning.

Sleep a chance for us to dream

Some dream awake it may seem

Don’t let hard times make you sink

Enjoy and drink up the cream.

One day it’ll be over 

Called back like tired soldiers

Knowing this all, surely soothes 

Time moves like endless boulders…

-AAA 12/25/2024

Doers Do

Lovers love 

Haters hate 

Stars above

Time is fate.

Soldiers fight

Students learn

Darkness, night

World still turns.

Livers live

Takers take

Givers give

Bakers bake.

Artists paint

Dreamers dream

Maidens faint

Dairies, cream.

Players play

Talkers speak

Slayers slay

Sadness bleaks

Runners run

Lifters lift

Authors pun

Grifters grift.

Liars lie

Tellers tell

Apples pie 

Sellers sell.

Sowers sow

Greeters greet

Rowers row

Meeters meet.

Endings end

So must I

Write portend

Words won’t die…

Not Returning 

Over the edge 

It’s time to fall

Nothing to dredge

You’ve cleared it all.

Accept your fate

Gravity is strong

It’s far too late 

Moving along.

No need to panic

What’s done is done

Don’t get manic 

Reality hits a ton. 

Change is hard 

But sometimes needed

In this regard 

Learn what is heeded.

Grow stronger 

Each and every day

The distance grows longer

You’re on your way…

Feisty Bumble Bee

Feisty buzzing bumble bee

Some lift high above the trees

Flying wonder we all can see

Or catch a lift on a summer breeze.

Finding all the pretty flowering plants

Gathering nectar slightly sweet 

Taking each opportunity and chance

Until their mission is complete…

Gentle Reflections 

Laying in bed

Thinking deep thoughts

Lest my brain rots

Much on my mind.

Resting my head

No haves or nots

Know I have lots

It’s all defined.

Lightly I tread

Not tied in knots

Or worried plots

Only unwind…

Happy Holidays

Holidays here 

Family arrives 

Feelings of cheer.

More than survive

Happiness glows

Feelings alive.

Generosity flows

gifts are shared

Everyone knows.

How much you cared

Showing your love

All loves compared.

A purse or glove

Sentiment shown 

We’re all above.

In peaceful zone

Where differences are cast

and commonality known.

Like holidays of the past 

We feast at a large table

Toasting raise a glass.

While we’re still able

Food is delicious

We devour with gables.

The young have wishes

Of what they’ll receive

Tantalizing dishes.

Grant them reprieve 

For soon more dreams

They will conceive.

Simple as it seems

We share in delight

Thoughtfulness beams

On these magic nights

Candles ceremonies

Or reindeer taking flight…

-AAA 12/23/2024

See What You’ll Be

See what you see 

Do what you do

Be what you’ll be 

You, through and through.

Give what you give

Share what you like

Best way to live

Your entire life.

Walk where you wish

Go where you want

No upstream fish

Or dilettante.

Learn what you’ll learn

Life is a class 

As the world turns 

Hardships will pass.

Pause and take rest

Perspective gained

You did your best 

Don’t be ashamed.

For endings end

And starts begin

Time is your friend

Someday, you’ll win…

Miss Bitterness

Bitterness writes some

Thinking her readers are dumb

As she sucks her thumb.

Choice words are bothers

She would rather hurt others

Till karma uncovers.

She’ll reap what she sowed

Paying back all that is owed 

For those that she trolled.

In the end alone 

With only words just her own

Maybe then, she’s grown…

-AAA 12/22/2024

Life Happens 

Life happens when you least expect it

Some are guilty, for they neglect it.

Take each step at its arrival 

It means living versus survival.

Walk don’t run let life meet you

Just let all good karma greet you.

Float gently along the breeze

Don’t miss the beauty and trees. 

Take deep breaths and gently sigh

Full certain life won’t pass you by.

Don’t let past lessons hurt you

Lest your happiness desert you.

Life’s unpredictable there’s no knowing

Just you smile and keep on going.

-AAA 12/22/2024

Moving On

Take a step and walk.

Onward and out the door.

Find the subject and talk.

About anyone or anything.

Brevity will be your rock.

In your time of need.

Your expectations grow like a stalk.

From your needs to the floor.

So step away from the flock…

Always flowing ceaselessly.

Sundays

Saturday is long gone.

Until now I wasn’t thinking about next week.

Now I’m getting ready for it.

Day is almost over.

And the weekend went by too fast.

Yet I’m not finished relaxing.

So much to do…

Ant’s Poetic Form Toolshed

A tanka here and a haiku there

Clogyrnachs and quadrilles everywhere.

Quantrains, palindromes a plenty

A-to-Zed and a limerick if any.

Acrostic and diminishing are other forms

Ars Poetica and cinquain, far from norms

Abstract, sound, anagram, and The Blitz

Add to this poet’s toolshed kits.

There are other styles I rehearse

Straight up AB rhymes and Free verse.

Magic 9 and dizain complete my list

Of poetic forms plus adding my own twist.

I sometimes rhyme tankas or haikus

Just to give myself more to do….

My Philosophy Of Love Sex and Everything in Between

⚠️Warning ⚠️

Caution, these are my humble opinions from my experience and my lessons learned with women, etc. is it not facts? Is it not generalizations, rather just an opinion of this guy. lol

Now I need to share some of my approaches and philosophies of sex and love at this time. I know that those first moments of intimacy are the best and are truly beyond fun and amazing. 

First, women control sex, period, end of story no if’s ands or butts, unless they allow it. We as men have to know and accept this and not try to change it because it will never change. The best thing to treat your significant other as well as possible consistently. Make his/her dreams come true and then you will get those intimate physical moments that us men live on and starve without. Treat your partner the way you would want to be treated, but better. Respect and comfort are critical. Most if not all women think they look hideous. It’s not true and you must do all you can to dispel these negative image thoughts because they will hinder you in the bedroom. Build your woman up, tell her she looks amazing and that you feel amazing just standing next to her. Be honest, of course because that should be true or why are you even with her in the first place? 

Plan things out, the perfect dinner, the best time she can have. Drive her, open all doors and order for her at the restaurant after she shares what she wants. Women want a man that can be confident and in control and demonstrate that you can be without being over-bearing. They want to feel safe and know that their needs are being met in every way. You need to help her feel well enough to get naked with you and that’s no small task. I’m an empath and still struggle with the details and keep in mind even if you do everything perfectly it can and often still will not go the way you would like, but that is ok. You will be closer to her for this and she will receive a lot of intimacy even if you don’t and this will bode well for you in the future.

Women are complex amazingly challenging creatures and any number of things in their own minds can take sex out of the picture even if you do your best to help reassure them that they are safe, sexy and beautiful. If this happens, and it will (a lot), just enjoy the moment and quality time you spend together. And believe, me she will remember, and it is a good time to appreciate each other’s company. Sex should never be a goal, it should be an ideal or a place you’d like to get to and if you enjoy and appreciate each other, you will get there at least occasionally. That’s as good as it will get. The grand creator has a great sense of humor. Men are made hungry and women are made thirsty. It is difficult to create a perfect meal that both can enjoy, and sometimes its almost a happy accident. Enjoy it when it happens. In the meantime, treat women the way you know they deserve to be treated not just because they control sex and all physical love but because they will protect and help you too if you help them feel save and empowered.

What about other people, you say! “Joey Schlamoze gets sec every night and Lanie Schlamaze always makes love to her man…” Do not compare, of course you are going to see and hear the best from others because they want you to despise them and want their life. They don’t tell you about the times their partner(s) hit them or have psychological issues. They do not tell you that sex is the only love they know and have. The adage never gets lost that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. In reality, life doesn’t give most of us even remotely close to what we want, but some are great at masking it making their lives seem ideal. Its all a façade, the happiest sounding people often are far from it. They just want others to envy their life. Worry about your own happiness and keep your lawn (life) healthy always doing what is best for you and your own happiness.

            Ok sex, this is not going to be explicit, at all. I am not Dr. Ruth, nor do I claim to be an expert in anything. This is just my philosophy on sex. I cannot emphasize this enough as it bears repeating, in heterosexual relationships women control sex. Any men attempting to control sex in heterosexual relationships are likely misfits in society and need to be taken out and put away someplace very safe and secure for a long long time. Now, believe it or not we spent a lot of time already taking about women and sex. It is all about how they feel in general and at the time. You want your partner to feel safe with you. You want her to feel cherished beautiful and sexy whether she is thin like a rail or curvy and cute. Appreciate all over her, this starts with her mind. Nothing is sexier than a smart strong-minded woman. Man-up and allow her to be strong, embrace it and have no fear. She is with you that should tell you all you need to know. Listen to what she says with words and her body and you will please her as much as she can stand. Then definitely stop, when she tells you to. 

            Do not worry about your pleasure, if she is feeling, happy, safe, appreciated, fulfilled she will turn that on you. And believe me, you will also feel happy and very appreciated afterwards. That is, it simple, it is all about the woman’s mind. You need to help her feel attractive, safe and secure, and as long as the planets align (it takes that too sometimes) she will let you have her… 

Even if not, you are doing it right, keep in mind there are a million factors that need to be satisfied for sex to happen, and there’s a better than good chance some of them will prevent it from happening. This happens (a lot), do not think it is you or a lack of attraction. It could be anything from a woman feeling heavy because she didn’t like the way a dress looked on her to a model in a magazine article that makes her feel ugly. Never give up hope and do not blame yourself or you’ll go down a rough road that may never end. Take care of you when you need that, she will understand or should as you need a safe harmless release more often than not as we as men need ‘physical affection’. Women do not, remember that…

thank you for reading.

Writing Poetry

Whimsical, witty, and poignant

Reaching in deep from the inside

Impacting as many as I can

True to myself and emotions

Including everyone in my audience

Never compromising on my artistry

Gratitude for my readers and their feedback

Plenty of poetic forms to choose from

Originality is critical

Empathy builds up my imagery

Time spent creating it all

Realizing I’m doing this

Yet I have much more I want to create…
