Buyer of Fire
Be wise and don't mock love
Lion not pass any guilt by anyone
Everyone's eyes are happy to see she
I the one buyer fire look she
The brain says that she does unfaithful
It's amazing that I have such an illusion full
O my troubled heart, where is his love?
If you don't know where it is, it is definitely a

Fake Goods
What you picked up at the junction
Will end up serving no function,
Mine; The Bold Voice of Lord God’s seer,
Though the message might stab like spear…
Tears for the buyer of fake good,
Who’d seen it and forgot to brood;
Our markets they infiltrate,
More items we adulterate
The products whose cost is dear:
Because they spellbind, no

Buyer Syndrome
The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow
In a country village not far from my home,
Joy and glee casting out all seasonal sorrow
The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow,
Quickly to the bank some cash, I’ll borrow
A few days later to feel a tinge of sorrow
My budget stretched by buyer syndrome,
The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow
In a country village

Buyer Beware
Buyer Beware
David J Walker
The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry
Steeling the linen
Calling our neighbors invaders
Demanding justice to fortify our
Positions and satisfy our ambitions
Enforcing the bowing and kneeling
But buyer beware
Earth has its own practice
Of healing

Majrooh Sultanpuri Translations
Majrooh Sultanpuri translations of Urdu poems into English
I'm like a commodity being priced in the market-place:
every eye ogles me like a buyer's.

If you insist, I'll continue playing my songs,
forever piping the flute of my heart.

Buyer of the Beliefs
I’m wandering on the earth
Paths after paths
No end of the paths there are
Stoppage out of the dictionary of earthly paths
Day enters into the night, night discovers day
Kinematograph feels tired for continuity of time
My wandering with the white cloud
Under the sun of the day and the moon of night,
My wandering with flying heron,
My wandering

Let the Buyer Beware
If it sounds too good to be true
The low price is the clue
So what would you say
To a resort on Waikiki Bay
That costs you but two hours pay
~ Caveat emptor! -- Stay away!

The Buyer
Anything you got for sale I can take care
Whether it be books clothes or even broken chair
All I need is a very hefty fare
And I'll take things that are even rare
Sometimes I even take away people fear
But it'll cost more than a few strand of hair
I'm always closer to you than

Buyer Beware
Diamond earrings and other glittery things
can cause the heart to pop and ping
The latest fads viewed from online ads
Those well advertised, must have coffee crazes
require sweets shiny with various glazes
Designer clothes purchase proven with selfies
begs the viewers' response, " is she wealthy ? "
Shoes, booze--are these really a win--or actually a lose
Do things really cause

A Passerbyer Or a Buyer
A Passerbyer or a Buyer
You will love this place and am not a liar
Whey be passerbyer but become a buyer
Whole lot great green belt does surround
House and lot are like heaven you have found.
House rests is on cul-de-sec a dead end street
When my magnificent house your eyes meet
Desired design is destined to make you be
