Best Guest Of Honour Poems
Son In Law's Day - Chinese New YearThe second day of the Chinese New Year
Tradition has it say
That the son in law visits
His mother in law
Guest of honour on this day
She treats him like a king
When time to go back home
Gives him two lotus lanterns
One red and one white alone
Time of...

nerves conditioned to the tune
through all the slushy push of distending flesh

Embrace the LinesThe flag glides upward in slow motion.
Days have the lucky teachers rehearsed
For this honorable day of the country.
We, children have sung until we go hoarse
No matter it was a sunny or a rainy day.
Rehearsals went on, missing classes and plays.
Yes, the great day is here...

...."the Final Toast.""What does light have to do with darkness!?...."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like mixing champagne miscreants
Within a simile laced frosted glass
Of crystalline stones mingling these
Crowned guises....
Fatidities of peremptory phantasms
Oracular silhouettes of the predisposed?!
Rising in unison unto a collective toast
Toward deceptives destiny; their very own
Whisperings billowing within ceramic tones....
These phantoms of...

List ImpossibleCan it be as hard as this?
A struggle of thoughts and feelings arises,
Not ever seeing a resolution,
Assessing the options that offer perhaps a brighter existence,
Weighing every pro and con against the alternative but always considering other’s feelings,
If we only had unlimited resources available,
Then all would...

Who Will BeWho will be the Master of ceremony?
When all planets come to celebrate together
Bells ringing without pause
Telling a story far beyond imagination,
To create palpable feeling,
And incite the search for greater wisdom
Who will be the Master of ceremony?
When change finally leads to eternal change
Who will be the...

Self-awareness and courage

The musician strikes a cord
And echoes the universe it's glorious Love song...

If You Pull a Long Face - Part XiiiIF YOU PULL A LONG FACE : XIII
If you pull a lean long face
Each day in fear of the next Saturday
Time to tone down High C voice in Elysée Palace
Yellow Jackets are closing in on the Champs Elysées
Then if you insist on pulling that lone...

Oncle Albert - Part 1Here he stands, Edwardian vogue, sometimes with his spats,
sometimes with his brogues below his dungarees. With rounded collar points and tie, and jacket donned below this flying suit, his waste is tied with simple rope, knowing this, or any flight, could be his last....

Farewell and Goodbye
Farewell! Farewell!
It’s time for my closing verse.
How long the years
that bless and unkindly curse,
till in a black wagon
our sorry ars-e draggin’
we get to flat ride in a hearse
Goodbye! Goodbye!
Father, we buried you today

Before the Gates of Alahsar - Version - 2 - 6On the third level, the revelry had ceased,
there was a great peace,
here, in the communal gardens,
a calm, joyousness descending,
a few people already resting,
on the grass, they lay,
the Tigress,
here to meet the Dark Man.
such quiet solitude touched her,
the gardens, good for the soul,
all the songs of...

No Hurry
May my poems in their entirety
live on beyond my notoriety.
But I sure don’t wanna
be the guest of honour
at the Dead Poet’s Society!...

When I Went Shopping For RubiesI spent my day shopping for rubies,
with an aim to buy thousand of them.
I went from shop to shop,
collected all of them.
Back home carefully,
I laid all of them.
Made a list of all I knew,
sent a picture to all of them.
So many rubies I had,
everyone was...
