Best Put One Over Poems

The 
        old house
   from my memories 
 opens to a wide porch
adorned by mom with her 
loving touch.Herbs,flowers 
swayed to caressing breeze
 Lilies in pink, roses in blue
  and bougainvilleas that
   blushed...

I bought a box of smiles
Now I'm in a perdicament
Since there's only a few
How do I best use them

Do I pull out a smile when I see a child
Or wait for a funny situation 
Do I cut one in half to add to a nervous...

(It was 1860 when the English poet Robert Browning
stumbled upon an interesting artefact as he walked
through the city of Florence.  It was a file of documents
from an old Italian criminal trial, and he would turn
this material into his masterpiece, "The Ring and the
Book".)

The feeling that we're being watched,
Causes fear and agitation.

The feeling that we're being judged,
Causes anger, aggravation.

The feeling that we are unloved,
Can make one's heart grow hard.

The feeling all is not secure,
Will put one on one's guard.

Sometimes these feelings have no ground,
It all is in our...

The Little Master, Sachin Tendulkar

At Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai,
   The Little Master chose to say good-bye;
His Rembrandtesque canvass hat shading eyes,
   He whispered thanks up to high-open skies.

Gods spurned earth but as living Avatar
   Though Sachin was not from...

We're blessed with gifts of words that sing a song,
     their melody through ears flows to the soul.
Through reading come the thoughts in silent ways;
     but spoken words can make the meaning whole.

As soft and loud inflections...

~I Love You Jesus~ 
(Couplets) 


Just when I thought, I was alone and so lost, 
You came to live inside my heart, and paid for me the greatest cost, 
Of all, and since then You never left my side no matter what I have done,...

Put one, before, nine numbers of zero,
and take one off, have nine numbers of nine.
Grows a number ten times, zero, the hero. 
Put one, before, nine numbers of zero.
Centre of integers, is the number zero,
to the left and right, may go endless, fine. 
Put one,...

Limerick croises : Once our ‘Rita jumped into Sea Anne-Anne – 14

Once our ‘Rita jumped into Sea Anne-Anne
Sirens howled « panic stations » refrain
One Valhalla Rani
Offered her much money
For a shot sans mantilla – in vain

Our ‘Rita – you bet – a stunning beauty
Not given...

Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
Do you like what you see when
You look at my inquisitive face?
Sometimes I like what I see though
Sometimes it’s a scared face
Worried about my worst fears.

Mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall
I hope you like my clear beautiful eyes
And clear stern...

If you can still hear the birds chirp
You are privileged 
If you can still utter words 
Say what you think or feel 
You are blessed

Many people wish they could 
Do those things 

I could get out of bed this morning 
I were honoured enough 
To put one foot in front of the...

Things are very hard for me to see and hear, it’s very distracting
I never ever thought that I had such disability that causes problem
I find myself reading the words backwards and it’s more frequent
And I understand things incomplete, wrong, mixed in lost sequence
I guess is...

Our family reunion is coming...My, Oh My,
Times in my youth, of family gathering, and customs traditional.
The theme this year is "Christmas in July",
Like Dickens' Ghost of Christmas Past I can recall.

I remember those days with quiet revelry,
The cold winter nights of going to Grandpa's house.
Those...

I will follow you to the ends of the universe.
You sing and I will be the note you strain to reach.
Even in your sleep, the dreams of love in reverse,
I will be that scream of nightmares you breach.

Put one foot forward and I will be...
