American Indian, Nightshades, Moonshadows And Howling Wolf

Thirsty for red moon, its sacred beams and eternal pull
howling-out to speak to this dark and blind world, without fear;
Your echoes enter, soulful bones of insightful red man
birthing growing urges to return and run truly free,
falling upon ancient trails, foraging for lean red meat
race with red-heart's deepest desires into widest abyss,
embrace our mother earth, unified into one body. 

Where ancient trails once well-known, rests under dust long fallin'. 
Moon's golden realms hear both man and wolf, faithful loud callin'.

Standing proud, atop very high and lonesome mountain crag
winds caressing one of Nature's most beautiful creatures;
Notes calling loud, that give night's resplendent moon pregnant pause
in that silent and golden moment, where man so trembles,
for it is then knowledge comes, therein sings of true freedom
having no need for dreams of blind men or dark worldly lusts,
speaking to pack below, mirroring its deep felt tones.

Where ancient trails once well-known, rests under dust long fallin'. 
Moon's golden realms hear both man and wolf, faithful loud callin'.

Alas! Fate and Fury- rage combine and oft delivers
soul-crushing, black-handed cuts from darkened realms far below;
Wherein has justice overcame Fate's most savage attacks
when hatred and greed both conspired to not be defeated,
in infliction of war's sorrows and deadly destruction
while parading under banner of Light and compassion,
tales of malevolent beasts, benevolently destroyed!

Where ancient trails once well-known, rests under dust long fallin'. 
Moon's golden realms hear both man and wolf, faithful loud callin'.

Poetry-- Subject Nature, Wolf, Amerian Indian And Injustice...

Old note: My mother's father was Native American. I gained
great insight into the life of Native Americans from words
he spoke to me. Since his death, I have read many books that
gave even more historical knowledge on the subject. Finding 
the ones that did not deliberately cover up the savage acts
carried out by "whites" against Native Americans.

Loves Luculent Light

Love’s Luculent Light


Beyond the portals of time exist immaculate immortals incarnates of light,
helped by the Angels to seed sempiternal love into our earthly existence.
In Perpetuum within the gardens of bliss where love is benevolently breathed,
upon its creation a vortex of golden light emanating from the veils of eternity.

~~~

Beyond all that is, love travels through light and finally rests upon my face,
as the pores absorb its ecstatic ever essence, my body resonates in ecstasy.
Beyond the realms of reality, my love spreads throughout the infinite voids,
until it gently falls and rests on your flavorous face... thus a new love is born.

Premium Member Cat-Think

Oft' I wonder what my cat Simba thinks behind that baleful stare.
Is he planning roguery or just building castles in the air?
Perhaps he's reviewing strategies for catching a bird to devour.
Here's what I sense goes on behind his condescending glower!

I 'puuur'ceive he's thinking, "Hey, remove yourself from my chair!
Who said you could sit there - that's my favorite lair!
Will you at least make room on your very ample lap,
So I can curl up and take my usual afternoon nap?"

Many times he glares at me and emits a plaintive 'meow'.
I'm sure he's thinking, "Hey, pal, ain't it time for chow?"
He stalks about the house as if it was his sole domain,
Thinking, "I guess I'll benevolently allow you to remain!"

With soulful eyes he invites me to scratch behind his ears.
If I try to comb his coat, "Oh no you don't!" and he disappears!
Sprawling upon the window sill he gazes across the street,
Eyeing the Persian cat, thinking, "Meeee-Wow! Her I'd like to meet!"

When he begins to purr and 'puuur'sistently rubs against my feet,
He's probably thinking, "Hey, old buddy, how about a treat?"
My cat thinks, "He's not a bad sort, him I can tolerate.
He provides my grub - furthermore, with him I can communicate!"

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry


Journey To the Peak

Little blades of grass touching my naked feet
Oh, the soft pleasant touch, the trodden path
I am treading again; though this is my first
Venture, my maiden hike towards the peak
The great heights of the neighbouring mountains!
Have you ever lost yourself in the benumbing wilderness?
Have you ever heard the silent call of the Titans, metamorphosed
Into rocks? Little nameless flowers swaying their heads 
In an enchanted dance; the chill in the air 
Gently touching my mortal body, making a grand statement
“If the heaven exists anywhere, it’s here, it’s absolutely here”
The eternal path leads you from crag to crag, from bends to bends
Like a child of nature I play hide and seek with the impish fountains
And waterfalls, oh how majestically they cascade down 
On the wings of wild butterflies, 
Swiftly hiding 
Into impregnable gorges
The hairpin bends
Beckons
Oh, the wider stretch again
Looming, there is before, the endless and bottomless
Gulf of the sky, kissed benevolently by the sunny morning
High and hoary oaks and pines
Standing on both sides like insomniac sentries
The intolerable ache, nearly paralysed feet
One
Step 
Forward, another
One
Inflated lungs
Is it the end of the road?
Oh, god, at last, yeah, at last
I am on top 
I am looking beneath towards the inviting clouds
My eagle soul outstretches its wings

The sky kisses my forehead like my mother

His Way Remain Same For All, At All Times

T aking a revered bow, I convey my Gratitude 
H IS grandeur, blessed are we together or in solitude
A ll days HE is omnipresent, bestowing Bliss 
N ailing the sinners, hailing pious with peace
K eeping the equilibrium between Good and Evil
S ilently guiding Soul to see HIM piercing ignorance's veil
G oing rarely berserk with Natural Calamity
I ndicating HIS Orders are breached with impunity
V ery benevolently sharing HIS treasure
I n joy and sorrow always there to share
N ever ignoring prayers when need arises
G ranting wish when spiritually one rises

D evotion to HIM, Soul liberates for all times 
A theist gets trapped in Life-Death cycle for crimes    
Y elp one may, HIS way remain same for ALL, at ALL times

Hero of Hearts-Never Too Far

Her face launched a thousand verses, into the worshipful waves she immerses
With the mermaids, she converses adorned by many in the ultramarine universes
A star child of the celestial seas her warmth blowing benevolently in the breeze
For humanity, she will appease as her tears of joy fall from the terpsichorean trees

A heart bigger than her white smile, as she indulges with the fish on her lost isle
Sailing serendipitously is her only style; touching many a heart admits many a mile 
She dances underneath the stars and moon, a Delphian dreamer of twilights tune
Signals of the heart from her lavish lagoon, sending to us on her rainbow balloon

Tender are her words in a heavenly view, morphing with water of the ocean blue
Her heart will help you mend and start anew, with shimmering light shining thru
A beautiful soul loving and living carefree, of this earth an angel of the first degree
As my thoughts sail across the sentimental sea, she will always be a Hero to me.

Omnipresent

“Omnipresent”



Omnipresent hue
the shimmering observes you

from its sky of blue
seats the watching I

synchronicity arrives in silence
shot through a gold marble

electric slips the dream
burning lazy idols

synchronicity arrives in silence
omnipresent 

unisex in
flared genes

persuasively calm
benevolently 

Ultraviolet

Premium Member Let Us Love

If 
There is anything worth 
Dying for, my friend, it is 
LOVE:
Love for our God
Love for our country
Love for our family
Love for our friends 
Love for our fellow Man
Love for love's sake, 

Because 

There is nothing nobler,
Nothing more dignified
Nothing more elevated   
Nothing more holly 
Nothing more sacred 
Nothing more divine than love,

For love

Is God's voice 
Is God's will
Is God's wisdom
Is God's determination to  
Unify the Cosmos and Man alike
And 
By doing so to make both of them
whole!

Therefore 

Let us love my friend:
Let us love unselfishly
Let us love unconditionally 
Let us love altruistically
Let us love compassionately 
Let us love benevolently

For 

That is the only way 
The anxiety of Man for human affairs 
Forever 
Would disappear and peace and harmony
Shall be established on our planet and in 
Our souls!

Premium Member Repainting the World With Glittery Hope

Ambivalent pink heaven 
merging softly into ethereal earth’s stratosphere
With a vibrancy and star plunk, 
repainting the world with glittering hope.
Sprinkling it with love stars, 
surrounding the dreamers with uplifting majesty.

God smiled benevolently as He watched His angels at work,
Revitalizing His young…
We are reclaiming them one soul at a time, 
His positive cupids assured Him. He knew.

They were on a mission, 
inspired by the despondency and greed 
they had witnessed.

The souls began to arrive in glitches and gasps, 
nurtured in the heart of heaven,
As their flesh bodies slept, not realizing their souls 
were in full astral travel mode,
Being cosmically corrected….

Tunde Canada

The story of his pomposity
The gaiety of a been-to 
Embroidered in revenge.

Tunde Canada! 
Timid and denied by folks and friends
In his prime when the springboard, the hemisphere
At the time when chicks announce their appearance.
His ordeal was woven in ancient penury.
He was in the enclave of the rejected,
An outcast before his friends, 
Whose  hands, fortune,  has benevolently endowed 
But he was happily disowned by his entire ally.

Tunde Canada!
Determination and spirited humans
Benignly lifted from the corridors of poverty 
He suddenly became great.
How yesterday’s pain gone
And friends  who cast aspersion  are  back as friends.
He became the cynosure of them all
How fast humans forget the misdeed of yesterday!

Tunde Canada!
Now great!
But revenge beclouds the reciprocity of goodwill.
He mopped up his old friends for a drink,
And left them to bear their debts after  tipsy, 
And stayed in the  silt gutter. 

Tunde Canada
In the frailty of human foible, 
Revenge robbed him of his life achievements. 
At last, betrothed to a bride of a rich-dynasty
And before  the oath on the altar,
Absent from his wedding, either for  tipsy or else,
He left the bride, the audience and the priest alone in the church
Staring at his endless arrival.
Oh, a revenge against the society
Pain to his ungodly quest.
A victim of his retribution

Ohhhh Rain : Shower Again

A small romantic rain poem dedicated to hubby.
wrote by Mrs.Madhavi

"Ohhhh Rain..Shower again!!!!! "  

Showering in the rain, 
Draining the pain!
Enflueraging the essence of arenicolous sand,
Feeling blessed porting on this beautiful greenary land! Trees were roaming 
under fiercing winds,
Thanks nature for benevolently so kind!
Sip of sizzling coffee With Caramalized sugar,
Cheers hubby to accompany me my gelling agar!
Wanna capture this Driplets of aromatic water nearby lake,
So that I can make an icy snowflake!
That's amazing, "but ohhhh God,  I wish my honey is here".

Premium Member A Faithful Bed - Mental Hospital 3

The day has come, a smiling sun shines through bold bars, across the room to the door, ajar, projecting the bars on the door as if it is definitely and eternally closed to go out or come in.

The swirling, smiling haze of the past few days is slowly lifting. The rectangle of the open door has an attractive oblong shape the form of a mouth, telling me I am welcome to enter it - or is it leave? -

The bed has a mind of its own, it owns me, it thinks.... When I try to lift my arm, the bed stops me, stalling me, suspending my arm mid-air, by encircling my bony wrist, encompassing it with an iron grip. My peaceful plea, brought with ever so supportive but strong words that I cannot repeat here, has no result. The opposite is true, it does a sincere attempt to keep me there forever. Turning me into a spreadeagled, reluctant, foul-mouthed lover.

The door decides enough is enough. It squeaks, squirms and squeals, uttering a single, long lived OOOOOOOOoooooooooooo in a deafening ear-shattering pitch....

And in they run, the men in white, with their syringes and multi-coloured pills.
They beam benevolently at me, and then show the bed its rightful place: it's a bed, not a guard!
And shamefully it complies, clips open its claws, groans as I sit upright

Finally, the day begins!

Born and Bred


Goshen ghettofied,
born and bred
Yeah, I’m the teen darkie
with the big nose
and the nappy head
Rolling with my homies
on an asphalt bounce,
with the music on blast
Yeah, we’re the young darkies
with the big lips ...
American society outcasts
As ministers of menace, we preach
dem chickens gon come back one day at last,
and lay some righteous eggs from the past
We’ve been called: Wall Street squatters
and ivory house doubters
We’ve been caged 
disproportionately and dispassionately
When they feel our riot rage,
only then do they 
ever wanna truly civilly engage
When they feel the anger heat,
only then do they
nervously open the door of the cage
Skid marks on our backs ... 
concrete jungle death-trap metal violence burn
Skid rows across the tracks ... 
poverty check delivered on a low-income tax return
America’s always bragging about 
how they benevolently set their beloved slaves free
But from this darkie’s point of view,
the invisible chains of racism ain’t never been off me
That’s what these monkey big eyes see
Gorilla glue truth is super strong sticky
My peeps and me, like I said:
We’re born and bred,
Goshen ghettofied
Gospel truth be told: It’s commonly believed,
and the ghetto pain never lied — 
on the day we were inner-city born,
the certificate said it was the day we died

Miles and Miles

There's once in a lifetime

and there's once in a while...

The difference is more than a million miles! 



The long road to a journey's end

From the moment of birth to the birth of best friends

A fitting stanza to a poems end



An epitome for which 

your lifetime spent 

Tenacity forging and kept




One day arriving at that "someday" 

you hoped to find but doubted would come

Oh but the glory now that it's done!




We speak congenially of dreams

with an honesty bedded like the deep

when "met" it dawns - your deepest needs




Firm as a driving wind

Fixed like habitual ways

An enduring than refuses goodnight to the day




To secure the very life we were meant for

To find, open, and walk through that door

past secret thoughts of "there must be more"




Only to feast on transcendental happiness

which words cannot bare to weigh 

now evening and morning in your arms where I lay




What hand or soul more perfectly paired

A destiny of perfection benevolently prepared 

In silence bowed for gratitude's prayer 




Every step, every mile

miles and more, the millions of miles

want not for a single moment to waste




Cashmere touches tinted pastel hydrangea blue

... your loving eyes shine with raptured disbelief 

to have found another comparable to you




You looking at me with incipient serenity

Me staring at you... 

even etched wrinkles of sadness withdrew

Undressing layers of disenchantments held in the queue





When our "Once in a Life Time"

sketch upon our world of countless smiles

unrivaled laughter evolved 

from that one of "once in a while"




One rhythm

One beat

One marriage being made

Somewhere beyond the passion 

of  "Fifty Shades of Grey"

A Duck's Dilemma

Sometimes I feel like a duck out of water,
The greener grass is the water when I fly
And the water when I am natant.

My feathers equally ambivalent
My brain benevolently beset
The curious quandary belied by the placidity of this
Mirror in which I repose and reflect.

Mywondrous will so disposed to inertia
That I am quite averse to aviation
But the mere kinesis of flight
Prods my psyche to that profound euphoria.

And then looms that not-so-ugly duckling
To whom I am devilishly drawn.
What manner of urgency beckons me?
What end do I seek?
Why is this predisposition so prevalent?
Who is that pricks my pique and piques my prick?
When will I no longer feel such, such, such ... love?
And where is that Nirvana?
I feel like the centipede that forgot how to run.

Is there no outcome to this conundrum?
No resolution to this pregnant poser?
Too many options spoil my perspective
And I cannot compute the consequences.
To seek is not to have lost.
To seek is the eternal evidence of Life
As life is evidence of the eternal.
