I am…
Son, sculpted by my mother to be what I am today
Husband, holding my wife’s caring hands all the way
Father, in lonely nest, all the chicks have flown away
Friend of chosen ones, at ease with all my odd ways
Poet of whelmed heart, muse pouring out emotions
Star-gazer, entranced by dreams on stardust in motion
Painter, letting passion spread on canvas spectral wings
Perfectionist, finding it difficult to finish so many things
Believer, in the construct of my life by destiny’s finesse
Ordinary, believing in the possible, pursuing happiness
Seeker of wisdom, walk in humble steps on rough road
Taker of whatever is given as the precious gifts of God
Hater of tears, flowing from the broken hearts’ debris
Giver of touch of empathy, so sorrow becomes history
Loner in my own inner sky, flying the introspective flight
Traveler, finishing the journey on the last mile in twilight.
I am waiting to sail to eternity on time’s receding plain
I am sure I’ll return, walk on my faded footprints again.

Say you will save me
Say you will heal me
Say you will listen…
Say you will again…
Say you will understand
Say you will give me a helping hand
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
Be my darling pill
To put me to sleep at night
And wake me up with delight
I believe in brighter days
I will seek His praise
I will be caught up in a hopeful haze
Gaze into my globally-whelmed eyes…
Graze into the absence of bittersweet lies…
Going through phases and episodes of set-me-free
Going through hardships and traces of sea-gleaming ecstasy
Please set me free from catastrophe
Say you will understand
Say you will give me a helping hand
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
Be my darling pill
To put me to sleep at night
And wake me up with delight
Say you will love me
Say you will believe
Say you will clearly see…
Say you will relieve…
The scars of my haunting, taunting past
The heartbeats of my heart beat too fast
The stars in the sky are shooting me with guilt,
Consuming me with remorse, for I’m weakly built
The feelings of suicide and thoughts of it ache inside me…
The feelings of subsiding and drifting away is what I envy
Say you will understand
Say you will give me a helping hand
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
Be my darling pill
To put me to sleep at night
And wake me up with delight

Lyric
What do I have to do, to get some respect, at my poetry place?
I get rude comments from my nemesis, KatSkills, every single day!
How does KatSkills steal my ideas for my best poems, anyway?
How does she know to enter every contest I do, with my ideas, I say?
And why does Dragon always giggle, when of this, I do complain?
It seems a bit strange… There’s something, I don’t know? You say?
At least, my cat stays close, soothing me, as my words begin to flow.
Then Dragon and Kitty were behind the curtain wall, in a free-for-all!
As Hubby pulled the curtains back, you’ll never guess what we saw!
Ms. Kitty was in Dragons’ lap with a computer keyboard in her paws!
What? She’s my nemesis KatSkills! Well! What do you think of that?
She’s stealing ideas from Hubby and me, and plaguing me? Ah! Drat!
Dragon’s wasn’t getting famous, fast enough, so he hired her to write?
Now, he’s driving her crazy, as he plagues her, every day and night?
He changes the stories, and never stops complaining. You do say?
But hitting Dragon with a keyboard, won’t solve that, today or any day!
Dragon’s nemesis, The Sheriff of CrazyLand, wants to hire her away?
This keeps getting, better and better, is all that I can say! But it’ll be OK.
Being over-whelmed, we took her under our wing, with advice, so sage.
Apparently, it takes a village, to keep a cat, happy and satisfied, today.
We sent her to the Sheriff of Crazyland, on a weeks’ vacation, to abide.
She’ll be writing for great food, more attention and new toys, I surmise.
Distance makes a heart grow fonder, and a vacation from Dragon is OK.
And school will be starting soon, so she’ll be back and full of kitty play.
Then tutoring her on poetry, will help her to, steal our hearts away.
Besides, you can’t keep a good writer down, not KatSkills, anyway!
Uh- Huh! No way! It’s true! And with that, I bid you a fond adieu…
From Katskills, Dragon, and even us… For another day, so true…

Light Verse
Heaven of Childhood
I was seven when
I chanced to glance my heaven,
a peaceful haven.
Small town Deoghar
in India, sate Bihar,
short stay however.
Amazing errand.
I discovered my dreamland,
solitary strand.
Restless flowing brook.
On stream pebbles and stones shook,
cheerful to look.
Somewhere wide or thin
or deep or shallow, yet clean.
Nature was pristine.
Surrounded by hill,
forest to arouse my thrill,
Great Nature to feel.
Sank in fine flora,
whelmed in nice wild aroma,
prim panorama.
Collected descent
smooth shiny stones transparent
gems-like apparent.
When seven by age
first closeness with foliage,
river, mountain range.
My zealous venture
to blend myself in Nature.
Peerless picture.

Haiku
If this night you suddenly find
you have lost all faith in mankind,
need I say anymore, I care.
A resourceful comrade, I’ll be -a
friend in your dreadful green se-a.
I'm willing to help guide your boat;
sailing wild, can we keep her afloat?
Right now, waves seem brutal, unfair,
behind us spite-filled ships bear down
like dead weights leaving us to drown.
A quick look to heaven reveals
bridge of mercy for such ordeals.
Overwhelmed, I found when despair
troubled me, then I learned to tread
water - a sure hand ‘neath my head.
I know the pardon He can endow;
will faith in mankind help you now?
Ease into this slowly and share
your forgiveness with stormy souls.
Mind, you must give God the controls.

Your thoughtless talking
Got me running and walking
Our reflection of cyber-sensation is not genuine
You're playing with my feelings and head now...that's mean...
Where have you been?
I have lost you...once again...
How can I forgive you, boo,
When we can't see face to face?
Searching all over for you too
Am I just this overwhelming disgrace?
Oh, What now?
Ah, now what?
You have taken me on levels of frustration...I weep sleep in awake agitation
Watching the process of abuse over the years
Shallow swimmer, shadows out if the closet of velvet hesitation
You and I together drives me in bittersweet tears
In instant return,
I get your rejection reflection
I internally burn
Not involved in your life of successful intervention....
Oh no, not anymore...
Hurt alone to the core...
I shed my blood of hate for our love on my own
And, in your eyes, I'm a pitiful fool and the aftershocks of your actions had made it known and let it be shown...I don't care, I'd rather bleed in the inside alone...
Alone, I will probably be...
Not alone, you're so free...
Your senseless subjection
Of my submissive affection
It astonishes me...
Mmmmm
Wholeheartedly
Mmmmm
It vanishes vainly...
Ahhhhhh
Unfortunately...
Ahhhhhh
Yet, fortunately...
Ah, oh so wistfully
It is incredibly of envy...
I have lived to witness momentarily...
Fair or not, I love who I want to...sorry, but not sorry
Suffocated by the overwhelming elevation you sent me from miles away
You're dominant to my passion-whelmed mind's eye I can't deny or even mutter a lie
Underrated and hated by the society that wants beauty without flaws, but I'm not that sun-shining day in California some even think or say
You're recessive to my heart's main focus and its target is what's truly in your heart of sticks and stones...is it of vibrant skies or of underground goodbye's, wrapped on in ribbons of why-do-I-even-try?
I'm not here to impress,
I'm here to, well, express
What's in my young heart
I know it's not a perfect masterpiece from the start
But I tried my best
To pass life's test
Here I am today, trying to tell the rest
That a cute poet, like a headstrong athlete, needs a good night's rest
Our love is like east to west...
Sorry, friend, but I won't detest
You and all you do for me
I am a land of captivity and you the sea of Liberty

Verse
Never-mind… caught up in the web of lies…ebbed forever it seems…fill’d with broken dreams…breaking by the seams…I beam – alas, you gave in to narcissism…in a trance of black and white masonic floors…you shut both doors…scorching to the core!!!
Angree all of the sudden
Rinse away the rage…for, we are on a different page…
Corruption and assumptions are consumed
I am isolated and all alone
Sick of it all – whatever happens happens
Sometimes, I feel like giving in to the give up mentality…forced-fed fatality…fury fangs of corpses and carrions excrete shame…
I am acting by impulse…agitated because of past abuse…cut loose the noose…kill me alive!!! Bury me why don’t you and I will survive!!
Shards of me, myself and I are pieced together…you are the wandering butterfly with shattered wings of pale blue light…tonight, I dine on fleshly lusts and tomorrow, I am masked with His Holy Spirit…entwined with the devil in me…angel wings fly in the fire of my desire
Tormented daily…defeated, yet gaily living life to the fullest best I can
Irritated…feeling like going cray-cray…I’m insane with this poet’s brain…refrain from driving me insane with your suicidal rain
Cussed out…silenced by the waters of woe…
Y do u hurt me?
Orange peels collapse unto Pluto’s pleasure-whelmed gravity
U please me, u c?

" Serious Message "
While sleeping one night
I had a terrible dream
a vivid vision inside of me
a Serious Message
of all the crime and hate
reflected within our society.
Emergency alarms
car alarms
graffiti and trash
all over the city.
Noise and air pollution
high crime and violence
unsightly with ugliness
and all such a pity.
Prostitution and destitution
drugs everywhere flowing
all over your town
the power of satin
taking over the world
causing many believers to frown.
Stripped and burnt out cars
too many gay bars
violent street crime
and rapper’s rhymes
are societies ugly reflection
now is what’s happening
during our current times.
No one stops to help
the blood shed glistens
from the thugs driving by
funeral pyre is big business
blood washers rinse
just another one to die.
Glass is a breaking
broken bodies aching
society is over whelmed
with burial shrouds
blood covered shanks
bodies full of holes
the thugs standing proud.
Dating of the ladies
raping them after
no love instead just hate
unwanted kids to wonder
surviving on the streets
this has become their fate.
Churches empty to burn
hate is behavior learned
our race is slowly eroding
homeless no place to lie
so many morn and cry
our society quickly corroding.
Crumbling inner city life
there is no real future
protective bars on too many windows
cost for repairs too high
overpopulation is real
destruction everyone knows.
I woke up sweating
my head was throbbing
to our living reality
this Serious Message
so full of crime and hate
is now our living society.
Our society today
death rockets flying
too many people are dying
no more promise land
rather high crime
leading the honest to crying.
We all need to stand together
as a strong society
while we better all defend
before its all gone
no more beautiful earth
no more life but the end...

Rhyme
Everybody is unique in their own way.
I am learning every day
I may not talk,
but I know what’s going on.
I may sit in the corner and rock all night long.
But that’s no reason to judge me.
I may act out in a public place.
But in fact I’m a good kid underneath.
I am smart as a whip
Excelling in math and reading.
Lacking is my communication.
I may even invade your space.
From time to time
When I get mad, I lose it.
The emotions I’m feeling have me over whelmed.
I am not sure what is going on
I hit other kids, but it’s not deliberate.
They make me mad and I flip.
To look you in the eye is almost impossible.
So please don’t think I am cold.
The hand I was dealt wasn’t pretty.
I’m just a kid living with a disability
So please don’t judge me
because I am autistic
I have enough of it!

Bottle me up with your rubbish….your nonsense….
Asleep mentally
Miserable as a cow, fed up with horrid hormones and practical poison
Hypnotized ……..
With people, getting dumber
Without people, getting smarter
Rejection is an infection
I’m a savage from the beginning to the end
Chemically controlled…LOLed…LOLed…
3 circles…
3 triangles…
3 squares…
In conclusion, I am the esteamed airplane
And you – my pleasure-whelmed, imploring pilot
I beg for your mercy on my soul…
Anxiety, banging at my skull
I repent of all my sins, oh Lord of Accord…
If only…
If only…
You’d accept and forgive me…
You ARE a forgiving God after all is said and done
I’m the follower and you’re the leader
I’m a pain-engulfed pupil…
EMOtionally driven…smitten and bitten by luv
Staring at scarlet scars and starlit stars in the night sky…I reach for it so high
So high in the aqua-blue sky
Endorphins of plenty have made me sit with my notions…
Commotions and emotions enveloped into one…truly…amazing…feeling…
I’m healing…dealing and conquering pain from the past…
At last, breathing in the chemicals of the ty city
Yes, I said it alright…
With my head upright,
I said it alright! I said it…so don’t pick a fight
Med the sun and end the pain of rain
Trickling down your truculent pitch fork of a tongue
Medication never helped or cured a heartache like mine…it just made me feel numb and dumb all over again….again….again….
Hypnotized into this ugly society
Sorry to be negative, but hell, ain’t he or she?
Ain’t he or she?
Ain’t he or she?
Ah, this sweltering shelter of mine leaks lament
Rise from the ashes…
Arise from the ashes…
Rise from the ashes
Shame is a revolting name…
Entertainment is within my fingertips
Getting a grip on reality and fantasy all in one
Because the battle I have won…maybe it has just……NO! BE GONE!
On and on and on, I am enraged by your eternal existence of elegance….
Cruel, bittersweet elegance
It should be brought down to repentance...
The government of lies...
The Government of forever truth
Has not reigned upon us...

R aging fire burns inside
As another promise is broken tonight.
Invisible your feelings become
Never should have trusted anyone.
Disappointed in myself
Ruminating over the events that took place.
Over whelmed by harsh words spoken.
Perfection was never expected
Sending tears in a raindrops kiss, to show how much you are missed.

I am Going Home
I hear you calling thy name
I look forward to one you shall claim
My eyes once flowed tears
And I was over whelmed with fear
Until I let the Lord in my door
Then I felt love like none before
Lord lead the way and I shall follow
While you relieve thy pain and sorrow
You came and showed the way
And to gather the ones gone astray
Without You would be another lost day
You have carried me over the mountains
While quenching my thirst with your fountain
You have been there by my side
Even when I felt I was
being pulled away by the tide
I look forward to the promised land
Where the Godly will be
As numerous as the grains of sand
I am eager to see your face
To be fulfilled with your love and grace
To be a winner in the race
I am heading to my home
For here I do not belong
You say my child you have endured to the end
Now you shall come on in
If it shall be tonight
I am ready to unite

My mind is a whirling vortex.
Over whelmed with never ending thoughts.
An endless tunnel of torture.
Oh how cruel life can be!
Or is it that we just can't let go of the past?
To day is a new day, Yet I dwell on yesterday.
The pain I place upon myself.
Dwells within us all!
