Best Safely Poems

Yoga, a Sanskrit word, an abstract noun meaning oneness
It points to the meeting of soul and the Absolute or Godhood
To attain this oneness one has to go through eight stages. 

Five kinds of mental anguish associated with ignorance
Ego, attachment, hatred, and fear of death to...

To live a day safely in a city
where citizens must be echoes
and human rights are a fairy tale
but you want your mouth not pinched
your ears not pulled by anyone
or coconut not to hit your head;
a lemur you should be,
the big eyes not to miss coming...

I am in Heaven dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the ones I have come to know and love
Are all with me now in the clouds above.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;

In this mad world spiraling out of control
With so many running to and fro
Many hearts are full of hatred and pride
Many shedding innocent blood far and wide

Many looking for love in different faces
Defiling their bodies in secret places
Demonic worship on our government land
While a church...

My poor Angel Baby
hanging on for safety,
As her mom drive's her on home
she wishes she was home alone.

She looks up towards heaven and begins to pray.
God, help me make it home in one piece today.

You know I only have nine lives
and today's not my day...

Safely Fall Asleep

America I am so glad has been
With me through thick and then
Sandy shore was weather beaten 
Bright morning me was greeting.

Mountains with snow peak to peak
And her great beauty always seek
While it was waiting there for me
No better place can possibly be.

With my...

Behind barbed-wire fences
Of security-estate isolation
The rich and the poor
Divided the nation

The lines were drawn
The cartoons were sketched
As luxurious green lawns
In shantytowns far-fetched

As the echoes of jazz
From Sophiatown
Faded razzmatazz
As we descended down

Where Rabbi and Imam, too
Tipped their hat in greeting
The moments of Ubuntu
Was there but so...

"safely within words"

each fine day take a look for it is there
daily canvas offerings of the sun and moon
expressing lullabies of mornings and nights
more than blues and greens one will discover
safely within words are reflections of love

My hearts been exercised a lot
From the beating that won't stop
Getting faster when I see
Loving eyes staring at me
Or breaking each time you go
And I hit an all time low
Until you are back again
Not liking where you have been
But there's nothing I can do
Because our...

The storm was raging 
With battering rain, 
I walked up the path
And through my window 
Saw the lamp aglow, 
To welcome me home.

Don't  trust much on your skill
It may breath dreadful chill 
Take care of your grace 
To avoid been efface
Keep your balance to the drill 

Electric is my friend 
To you let me pretend 
It has never shocked me 
Cos I do get my breathes...

Safely Hid

Image of her was quite vivid
Until she had become livid
To her not paying any attention
No kind words did I mention
And away myself I safely hid.

Winter is a snowflake paradise,
Everywhere you gaze there is snow.

The snowflakes fall softly, white and exquisite,
Landing on the spruces and pines.

God's magic is everywhere,
When the sun shines the snow glistens like diamonds.

Hills and mountains are covered in snow.
The skiers and mountain climbers are blessed.

You could...
