Best Of Both Worlds Poems

"I don't know, but my strategy is
to live my life like there is" ...
I do not HAVE to kill -hate-
commit acts against children –
I can avoid stealing- I can avoid lying,
I can avoid, coveting. I cannot waddle in hate,
but I...Read More

There was love and sorrow
We shared the good and bad
Never thinking of tomorrow
We only thought of what we had
~
There was kindness and cruelty
We had the dysfunction thrown in
Not that we were really suffering
We knew the meaning of friendship
~
There was acceptance...Read More

New York State- I must claim is the best-
since my birth- still my home- passed the test.
Country life- pure and free
Hudson Valley grants me-
and one hour from that Big Apple zest!

A sunshiny day makes you guilty
For staying inside your abode.
You glance out the window and wonder
If you’ve gone against some kind of code.

For who wouldn’t prefer to be outside
To soak up those wonderful rays
Especially since, in the springtime,
There’ll be so...Read More

Friendship between two people of the opposite sex,

 I just don't get it.

a gem dancing
sparkling in a starry night
pearls of wisdom

seashores concealing
jewels from a forest
amber kissed by tides

diamonds and a lady
one shines one tries to impress
best of both worlds

opulence shinning
her eyes they have great...Read More

Glorious hues arise from halo of morning sky
As dreamy eyes take me on a wondrous ride
Where cottony clouds scatter layers of purple
Adorning with shades of heliotrope flowers.

On my ride I visualize a celestial place on earth
Hearing fairy tales from fabled...Read More

What you want from me I'll give it to you in layers
What you need from me I'll give it to you on demand
What will you find in me if you search I hope you stop 
When you know destiny seeks...Read More

More than a third of our media coverage 
Today is—juicy, 
With of course (no-mismatch) pics: 
…nine foreign femme fatales…
…in this steamy photo…
…so and so dares….
…so and so shares…
…so and so bares…
…so and so between Romeo and Orlando…
…so and so goes...Read More

You were an Afghan, Farid Khan by name,
A name less known to the world today.
You ran away from home,
Because your own step-mother plotted against you.
Now you were runaway-Khan!

You chose to be a knight-errant,
Soon became a military commander in Bihar,
Was renamed...Read More

Learned so much know so little, feel in touch with the symbols
of the underground, profound insights into light and sound
i found, wisdom of a higher order, in the schism of the mind’s recorder.
What i’ve seen what i’ve heard about prying...Read More

His mother once said I am short
Too short for my tall son
I took it as a compliment
Embracing ‘short’ for all fun

World perceives beauty in a way
My perceptions vary
There were times I was bogged down
By concepts of beauty —so scary

I look...Read More

Dark origin behind the dawn of life
Dumb souls laugh far-off stream
A chip heavy on shoulders
Crash with thunder storm
Generous thoughts from heaven
Fall like cold dew in a pail
Walk with a profound heart miles and miles away
Thoughts prevail every time with no...Read More

Between the world and my mind,
You clearly sit in between territories.
Nothing to tug but your memory of the past.
For I am only but a broken piece of non-belief.

Between my heart and my soul
I have tucked you in best of both...Read More

If I Could Change The World


Keep technology
but bring back the old values
of those former years
when love of God and country,
respect, pride, and honor ruled.

Bring back old values
of family, friends, church, school,
solid like they were.
With new tech and old values
we'd have...Read More

The noise troubles you,
And the silence kills me.

You keep looking for the deserted streets,
And even a single wayfarer brightens up my life.

You find spots with the minimum people in the garden,
I wait for the garden to flood with chirpy voices.

We...Read More

A river dividing two disparate lands, 
Perspectives so contrasting, separate they stand: 
A physical land, full of logic and sense, 
And one metaphysically deep and intense.
	
The domain of one, with logic infused, 
Acknowledges facts scientifically proved.
The world thus supported is...Read More

Marry Your Best Friend To Get the Best of Both Worlds

Not many can claim they met their spouse in a battle of wits
much less the fabled (don't believe a word of it!) Internet.
But my uncle, he's not many. And my...Read More

If you don’t want me thinking about you all the time
Then get out of my head
If you don’t want me to love you
Then leave my heart the hell alone
Don’t tell me you still care
Stop playing all these games

What goes up falls in love at first sight. 
Take your time traffic slows down before the third light.
My sleeves are read like the blue sky.
Its crystal clear that its night time. 
They say its always  lightest before dark...Read More
