The Code














I thought I'd publish this poem I wrote about a year and a half ago. I once wrote poems all the time then got busy with work and let this indulgent passion slide. It's such a wonderful feeling letting those words pour out. I think I'll let myself indulge a little more frequently again.


Anyway... 'The Code' (which I follow religiously)


To find success defined internally


See no weakness, just see tendency


Be fabulous, live with compassion,


Maybe they’re scared or in a place they shouldn’t be



Let live, move fast and the Queen be


Enjoy dancing with your boundaries


Pace, sweat twice and hibernate


Because controlling is strong but it’s not easy


Respect the many seeds of peace, passion and beauty


Indulge in curiosities and draw strength from femininity



Find significance showing leadership is justice by another name


Immorality is subjective but fear consequences, death and pain


Work to win and master naked words with pragmatic creativity


Fuel your fires, feed your needs and find power in authenticity


lead others by conceding to the mission, not the ego but


be contained, listen to influence and when it’s no


Distract your mind and then let go


others’ worlds aren’t yours to own


your own destiny’s only half-known



Control the other by amplifying the easy


Find answers from silence and history


Observe the obvious and they’ll be shown


When you see them, build your code


Recall what you know


Evolve as you go


Make truth of


your Gaudeo
