The Bead of Destiny

Cento One: “Shadows of Deceit” 
In eldritch times, 
Ori's companions did weave a tangled web of guile, 
—their hearts beset with malice. 
With cunning guile,
they did solicit the king, saying:
"Grant Ori the precious coral bead, 
that he may keep it safe till the festival's appointed day." 
The king, in his simplicity, 
Did entrust the bead

The Little Bead

We lie in our class,
Not really intrigued or puzzled,
By the mundane subjects that keep us muddled.
Some may admire the beauty that surrounds us;
Of the trees swaying in the winds,
Of the cherry blossoms that drop,
In the never-failing cold wind.
The light which comes through our open doors,
The light, not brighter than the people we have in store.

We

"Stages" or "Steps"

so every virtue—even our

Waist Bead Lover

Hey I'm not obsessed, that's not evil..
your mind is just full of evil that you can't see 
beauty in handmade.. 

Don't criticize, just look at your woman's waist 
without a waistband that's a waste of waist..

Buy her "Waist Bead", Let her glow while you stare with sensation... 

Let the vim of the waist bead vanquish

Rain

RAIN
Little drops of water in chain like beads
Fall from the skies above to the lands
As they fall on me then on others
I’m in mind finding to create boarders
To keep the rains’ blessing within my confines
Then I’ll stand out to be the best and out of poverty lines

For how should the rocks receive the rain?
It has

Black Bead

White beads spoken..,
often being forgotten.,
The only immortal,
 is my black bead..

Through the.,
dusty brook to hilly swamp.,
drops when speak.,
or thunder when clamp..
Talks of rain..,
or the.,
water or stone.,
storm or cyclone.,
will never succeed..
The only immortal,
is my bead..

When breeze blows..,
or daffodils discourse.,
some sound comes.,
silent speaks of course..
In a tumult ocean.,
or a silent sea.,
when earth echos.,
or sky bent on its

Be My Beautiful Bead

Your departure kept 
me in lovelorn.
Am I of tears born?
Whenever I behold 
your face
I find no place to 
trace.
Should I trace the 
Indians.
Indians are but 
ordinary comedians.
Your smile drive me 
crazy.
To let you go means 
I'm lazy.
Anytime I view your 
fine figure
I vowed"our love I 
must secure"
You will always be my 
beautiful lily
that often drive

Bead of Sweat

like beads of sweat fall down my face
while working in the heat
our thoughts, it seems, are out of place
when they are incomplete
to shatter on the solid ground
and never to return
no wonder when no thoughts are found
our lives bein to burn
