~Clouds~
(Hop-Scotch)


Clouds are nice and take many shapes
If you don't believe take a look
They travel fast and can reshape
Clouds I see like a picture book
Sometimes see angels or an ape
Observe in sky they can't escape
They're great to watch from site or nook

Clouds fantastic God's  creation

Across the length and breath
Of humour land,
None so far has touched
 hearts
 in
A close interplay of service
 and humour like you did

A gem is gone across
 the river
But lives touched
 still evoke
Subdued laughter 
 in whispers
Because laughter is
 gone with the 
Wind of eternity.

Adieu! My...

joy.
Your joy…
Now…
Brook flown now,
No cry, only joy.
Flow now brook; flow now by joy....

A.I.D.S is a virus that does not care, 
If your black, white, gay or straight. 
There is no way that we can run from this deadly disease that has become, 
A weapon of death and suicide for men and women of all kind. 
Can you...

Moonlit pool - 
Icy, wintry
Ignoring my buoy
Ignoring my will
No control
I jump in  
Boggy, limp, put out  
For you
But you point
You run
My tomorrow -
Forlorn 
Lowly I bow 
In my icy, wintry
Moonlit pool

Vying buck running, rutting,
Crying wolf crooning, yowling.
Prowling puppy pouncing poking.
Nipping nuzzling nibbling.

Quirky bug buzzing by,
Funny frog wooing, wowing,
Witty owl winking, primping, 
Blitzing cockcrow crowing.

Morning moon wincing winking,
Twinkling-twirling tinting 
Pink puffy fog, coloring
Glibly, gifting until morning –

gentle words I hear
but when written they appear
      to burn and to sear.

Unsounded minds 
  whispered twice,
Unopened minds
  blinked twice,
Unresolved minds 
  fought twice,
Unclouded minds 
  fathomed twice.

Distorted minds
  twisted twice,
Disproportionate minds 
  measured twice,
Disinterested minds 
  yawned twice,
Disintegrated minds 
  shattered twice.

Inculcated minds
  nodded twice,
Inconclusive minds

I've been whining for years

And I know you'll agree

That it's now safe to say

It sucks ... to be me...

Loose bird
in huge aviary
lives trapped and unhappy...
Captive bird
in the green field
lives freely and
blissfully...

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

set ahead your clock
one hour ahead you set
you lose hour rest

d s t what's this
it means day light saving time
set ahead your clock

you lost sleep oh, well
you can get the hour back
in October month?

Gentle as the sunlight,
Reflecting hope over snow covered ground,
Softening the heart and soul…
	With a soothing whisper,
The kiss of kindness, blissful – healing,
	Wistful memories, silent dreams
All the blessings, the many things…
That make up a lifetime, timeless truths
Creative gestures, faith that moves…
	Mountains and fluid motion
Water rushing past...

I once remember how amazing it was
To be in a daytrip where everyone
Strolled in a dim with hazel eyes closed
But ended up in a new beginning

There was a clear picture of fake smiles
This made me awake of dramatic reality
Right where I was sitting and crying
I’ll...

Words spreading across the page, 
limitless in their power, yet completely 
reliant on achieving one goal.
In failing, they seep into the paper
lost as more words steal the limelight,
shattered aspirations crack as they are trampled.

Dedication. Followed by forlorn drooping characters.
Did you ever know delighted letters could...
