Best Contended Poems

Part One- Reality

The door is closing
I’m loath to close it
And yet….and yet
I feel….I must
Close it gently
Close is surely
Close it….SLOWLY
Oh, so very slowly
Hoping against hope

Part Two- Fantasy

How I long to fling it open
And dash outside
Grab your retreating frame
And pull you inside
Eager to show you
The wonders I’ve...

The faiths that bind our righteous hearts
  to the tenets of our devine
Principles placed to uphold our faith
  are the grapes that grow from vine
Each woman and man has a light
  they choose to see its shine
But rays cast down in many...

Think of living on this earth
before the industrial revolution
having no cars or planes to pollute
air was clean no need of solution

There was no electric gadgets
nothing technical controlling the mind
life seemed so free and contended
no pressures to stress you blind

But alas these days is a dream
can't...

(continued previous part 1)

The duke then: “Tell now: of others indeed
Some Latin among sinners do you know 
Behind pitch?”. And he “I  had to secede,

It’s not much, from one who near had to stow.
I wish I were with him so covered still,
Since fear no...

Young man, I have seen it all
Yes, the days of old and new

I have watched it from far and near
From the break of dawn to sun set

Dripping in sweat and in blood
Drowning in tears and in grief

But you question my remote days
Term it backward and...

The virtue was being wronged, depicted his woeful tale of prey and innocence. 
Gradually people gathered to listen to the poignant rhetoric. 
blown away by the felon's aching, awful narration;
pitied the miserable plight, lamented the dejected tales. 

There were babbling, the throng silently protested the...

Some  crows  living  in  a  banyan tree in a jungle 
wanted  to  see  themselves  as  peacocks.
They wished  to  dance  like  peacocks  in  the  rain .
So , they ...

When I woke the next day,
He was lying beside me, breathing steadily
I was no longer on the hard, monstrous back of the leviathan
My hands were burned from its horns,
I was laid upon his wings,
Burdened by taunting dreams
Taunting realities

“Today, I shall answer your questions,”
Softly, I arose,...

De Andy Lee (part one)

Talks about the little Lady Lee and me,
It all started at the first flight
Our adventure had an origin---
From Off-ego was where we met
So dazzling was her beauty that
Caught my eyes at first sight
And unresisting, my passion wooed along 
Believe me, my...

Little by little by little by far,
high above I followed a bright
shining star,
something special in the air
no doubt a galactic affair,
symbols, trumpets,
resounding on Earth
a special occasion, a birth.
Oh to be in the heavens,
at this time of the year,
as a space shuttle is
used to man-oeuvre us
among...

My pigeon's nest had two squab
I could observe both to remain silent 
Only until the mother arrived, as both rose to grab
As both jumped and became jubilant

One was more aggressive than the other
Other one too was happy but not forced the mother for a feed
Appetite...

I am a proud man
Not because of my wealth
But for my poverty which provides me
Lots of ideas and thoughts
And helps me to delve into my life
To fetch out some rich philosophies
And break into a way to lead  contended  life, 
Without those banal luxury
Moreover...

A TAXPAYER SPEAKS

Years ago when filing tax forms reared its proliferating death’s head
I cursed, perspired, and thought about moving to a foreign homestead
As a low-income taxpayer I felt too unimportant to hire an accountant
So I filed and filed for years, at all times a very...

Such wonderful peace is summer twilight

as sun starts to set, birds making

their final curtain call of the day.

Sweet, oh sweet summer air, how

you make me feel so contended.

As shadows begin to cover

tree tops,

a little breeze saying good day to

the branches, where the birds are

now returning...

One Direction asked JLS inquiringly, 
Why they couldn’t all look like Aston, 
So Marvin announced that they all could, 
If they thought their body was their custom.

Harry just wanted his hair to be sculpted like Ortise,
But Ortise reminded him that it took ages, hours,
And so...
