Best Remotest Poems

Dark thoughts emerging from a lifeless spirit,
a wandering ship sinking into the remotest depths;
denying itself reality and its sense of comfort...
and was ever there a lighthouse to disperse its darkness?


A captain stirring his erring ship,amid furious waves,
for an imminent and fierce war,
not noticing the making...

I will begin my story with this concise summary,
Of the amazing things that have happened to me;

After I had lost a home, where I'd lived my life long,
So they could build a highway, for the busy throng!

The city had emminent domain, and so it was...

My Lord, You're my Light, Hope, Joy and Guide.

I had a passion for vibrant flowers, and I was often found in the garden,
As one gains the haunting night bird songs, in burgundy skies darkening.

My garden had many varieties of flowers, in countless appealing colors,
Like a rainbow comprising so many shades, it does not...

The quest along a longest route, 
When I first began the journey 
My chariot along the voyage for...

Journey' End

Seeing Franklin in the Music City I realised it is my journey's end
If the goddess of wealth would rain money and generosities
I would live in Franklin with my three daughter's families
One is already living there, moving in with two more would be easier
A place...

Oh, my fallen maple, oh, my frozen maple, 
Why you stand in blizzard bending and unstable? 
Did you see somebody, did you hear there something? 
As if you left the village I beheld your passing. 
As a drunken watchman you have stepped on path, you...

Sandy nations of Arabia
bushes of Tropical Congo
rocky lands of Afghanistan
the dry soils of Somalia
waters of the Mediterranean
bush land of Karamoja*
forestland of Colombia
ragged dress of ozone layer
swampland of South Sudan
homeland of Aborigines
All dance to rhythm of same music
tragedy of intelligent man!

*Karamoja is the remotest
part of Uganda...

Life is worthless
I am valueless
Everyone despises me
He said....

He got a rope
Around his neck it went
Then unto the tree
In the remotest part
Of the jungle...

His lifeless body was found
By passersby
Who stumbled upon it
On their weary way
From their farms...

Such is the tale
The world over.
Old
Young
Men
Women
Boys
Girls
All commit it
The greatest of...

Things are quiet when I’m so far away, 
No one can hear what I say,
And the sun sets in blue along the horizon, 
By the end of each glorious day,

On this little red planet made of iron and dust, 
This planet I now call my...

I accidentally let one loose
one you hope no one had noticed 
so guilty, face like a red spruce 
acting like I hadn't the remotest,

It was lethal, Silent and deadly 
people retching, gasping for breath
I don't think they'll easily forgive me
well their relatives for causing their...

A simple life is good enough:
    There is much peaceful beauty
In modesty, once man can laugh
    At trouble born of duty. 

Full long ago a pilgrim was
    Condemned to endless sailing,
But then he learnt the end...

I got up very early breathing in scented air,
beholding the beams of light that came from far;  
and looking outside pure joy built up inside;
all is awakening: He always keeps His promise!   

How comforting is to have freedom without anxieties
and imitate fearless...

"I live in Spain for my sins," she said
I thought. "Where do you go to be good?”
And ,”Yes I will probably mess with your head.”
Well frankly that is understood.

We met in a bar on the Algarve
Her body was really superb
I contemplated telling her just for...
