All But a Dream
How easily you return,
Within this mind's hindsight,
Never knowing how the swelling,
Gaping hole of your absence,
Weighs me down heavily,
With the confusion of your presence
In my dreams...

I crave substance,
Though well be my visions and tastes,
Vibrant...real be this cruel shape before me,
With voice like readying thunder,
And eyes plotting...

' Constructive - Criticism ... ' ( An Oxymoron - For All, But a Few)
‘ Constructive-Criticism … (An Oxymoron, For All But A Few) ’

Constructive-Criticism Is Good, It’s True
But, I’ve Only Seen It Used Properly, By A Few …
‘Cause, One Thing I Know, That I Have Seen
‘Some’ Use Criticism, Just To Be Mean …

Then, The Term Should Be: ...

All But Few
The aggress surrenders
But death lingers
Impeded by damned souls
Clutching to their final breath

The flailing limbs
Now lethargic
Severed, scattered
Men languished
Not by will, but war

A storm of clouded judgement
Summoned by the tyrannic gods of war
With cryptic intent
But greedily akin
Riddled beyond sin

A relentless hail of gore
An ocean for pawns to...

I Have All But None
When the bout of loneliness
   Strikes unawares
   How I long
   For a hand to hold on
   How I wish
   For life to go on

Trembling for a while
   But steadying myself
   Curbing...

Self-Trust Is All But a Dream
Hello everyone! There is going to be a 2nd part to Entertainment real soon. Stay tuned! Thanks:)

Don’t be discouraged
Don’t be doubtful 
Don’t be disheartened 
Be happy, not mad
Be humble, not proud
Be quiet, not loud 
Be merciful, not condemning 
Be cheerful, not anxious 
Be glad, not...

Its You In All But One
In the catalogue of my heart’s library
A word I scribe, magical and unitary

In the garden of my emotional culinary
I plant , I nurture, I prune a topiary

In the bouquet of my life’s choicest flowers
One adorable,I place above all the towers

In the album of my sweetest...

We Are All But One
we are all but one
varied colours and hues
countless creeds
trudging down alone
the world's avenues

yet the strands that bind us
together as one
reach far too deep within our collective soul
as we amble on underneath our soiltary sun

we are all but one
one body of humankind
with a shared yearning for...

We Are All But Thieves On the Cross
Two thieves were hanging
Next to the Christ
One on his left
One on his right

One was ungrateful
For his lot in life
The other repentant
Remember me in paradise

They each had that moment 
To open their hearts
One thought it best
The other thought not

One thief was saved
The other one lost
One knew...

Island of Fantasy, All But Him
Jaded to the bone,
Wayward since birth.
Where could this broken being find joy?
Truth?
Happiness?
Dare I say love?
There’s a place,
Of clear waters,
Beautiful beings,
Songs in the air,
Playing in my head.
That island of fantasy.
Family is there,
All those you love,
All but him.
The one I need.
Is it worth it?
All that magic?
Do I...

O' Cuckoo Song You Sing Is Sweetest of All But Not Clean From Inside
Early dawn in rainy days,
 your song warms us all.
 But Crow once said from her nest, 
 O' cuckoo! You are cleverst of all;
 I am upset by the games you play;
 Lay your eggs in my nest, 
 and disappear at once,

All But the Heart
He told me one day
that he used to have
a thing for this headstrong
smart and independent girl
whom he used to take walks with
at odd hours of the day
and that he used to dream
about waking up next to her
and as he painted this picture
in my head, I...

All But Blind
What is truth that I so long?
What but black and white?
Is it a word, a voice, a song,
A silent breaking light?
What the outcry of my soul
If no more than a dream?
Why my ever-waking though 
If all be as it seem?

To define would bring to end,
Yet...

All But None
All wish for a good name
But none wants to be really good
All wish for having respect
But none wants to respect others

The person who once earned
A lot by dishonest practices
Wants to have honest worker
To hold his grand premises

All wish for a good fortune
But none prays for...
