Premium Member Paying a High Price
Russia's losses have been greater with their Ukrainian invasion
Compared to nine years in Afghanistan, another miscalculation
Many towns and cities in Ukraine are now being taken back
As Ukrainian defenders launch, a devastating counter attack.

At a river in the Donbas region the Russians tried to cross
But were...

My sister Susie loved picking her nose
To her chagrin her little finger froze
It was stuck so far
Doc used a crowbar
Finger up nose - not a ladylike pose!

Our Mother, in a fit of Pique
At Susie's antics with her Beak
Said, "Right my girl"
And in a whirl
Grounded Susie...

You Belong To You
What have you done to us my child?
I tore my body to bring you here
He wetted his shirt with sweat to ink your books
23 years of learning gave you a well-paying job
Your job gifted you a high held head.

Then what has gone wrong with you...

Premium Member Free Will Vs Destiny
Free will whose
An egoic ruse
Please excuse
Offered clues

The mind body enigma
An outer form we call jiva
Inner layer soul or Atma 
All within God or Paramatma

This preamble in place
The line of inquiry we face
From our core at an easy pace
Truth recognised solely by His grace

We the jiva...

The Old Tree
It is strange
how things that we see
and take for granted
in everyday life
should suddenly instil
in our minds
a new awareness
of their presence

A silent moment
a brief pause
from life's ever quickening pace
a moment of peace -
in times like these
a common thing
like a dried old tree
becomes alive with beauty

It stands...

Good Night ----- My Queen
Closed eyes in world of sweet dreams,
With waving smiles & dancing echoes of sensuality,
My wish winding your squashy lips in excitement,
Creating wobble in the heart of perpetuality.

Your senses will sense that uncanny knack,
Where my wits will arrest that zest honouring you as a thief,
Your sleep...

U Call Uaself Wise
Please, please
Save humanity and stop using the W word like that
You have no idea of what wisdom is
Your words wound deep
Your words sting painful
You call me names to bring me down
Am sure you wish I could only drown
Maybe if you talked less, and listened more
You...

Wanderings of soul



Couldn't see the colour of the sky,
Nor the birds, their flight so high,
The greens were lost in twilight,
Didn't you see tears in my eyes ?

My stray soul that still wanders,
Passion swamps mind that ponders,
Parallel walk yet no greet,
Will the two banks ever meet...

Premium Member Flying Above the Storm
There’s so many storms of life
that effects us on our way
tempting us to go for shelter
hiding from these times so grey

These shelters only are temporary
for eventually their seams do crack
lying there prone to be shot
sure to be hit from the enemy attack

It’s better to use...

I Swear
Don't ask your heart,
Don't blame it,
Don't chastise your heart,
Don't scorch it,
Make yourself assured
You grasped a true love,
That would never short,
Because I made it as hard love.

I will fill each hole of your heart
To have it eternally to my heart
I swear to my vains and pains,
I...

Premium Member A Morning's Resolution
To wake up every morn with a lively song,
And inhale the stephanotis fragrance strong,
Will it not urge us to pass our summer day, 
Forget the night and chase our bad dreams away?

Dawn arises above the far horizon
Thoughts and meditations really wizen,
We accept God's gift given...

On Your Wedding Day
On this very special day
So began the rest of your life.
One of you became a Husband
The other became a Wife.
Some say marriage is an institution;
But really it is an art,
It began this day with the vows you made
Not just spoken but committed from the heart.....
To...

The Silent Killer

The silent stealthy cancer
Creeps and spreads inside
With no warning it's deadly rancour
When it strikes none can abide

Relentlessly eating through and through
As remorseless as a snake
Crushing muscle, bone and sinew
While asleep and while awake

No obvious initial warning
Nearly always something else
It opens doors to the...

Serious Time
I haven't filled my serious quota.
I have been having lots of fun.
I have been spending the afternoon
in food that helped my sides balloon.
and jokes that kept on coming fast
they made me hurt from all the laughs

I should be quiet now, because
the patterns of my childhood...
