Career Poems

On Greek Stage Renaissance

 
 
What do I wish for my wild heart?
In this trail is the finest art.
That is why I am almost there
With Lydian lyre and lore, or more
Cher sings her effectuated soul,
Discerning hearts excite the whole.

Premium MemberEveryone Needs Someone Sometime

Taunted by luxury, a life of ease.
I struggled to utter the words, “sir, please”?
I’d become distraught by my circumstance.
I saw no way alone; I could advance.

I knew the time in my life had now come,
To lose my ego, ask help from someone.
With all my money, I’d still have to ask,
Or accept my failure at this

Premium MemberThe Best Fly Catcher

Though a doctor or a lawyer in my parents' eyes, 
I eschewed that to become the best at catching flies. 
I could have been a doctor (if I had been wise).
From their graves, I can still hear their tortured cries,
"When will little Davey finally realize
there's more to life than being best at catching flies?"

You Already Know

You’ve spent years gathering pieces.
Lessons woven into your hands,
stitched into your voice,
threaded through the way you move.

Still, you hesitate.

As if wisdom needs a witness.
As if truth needs permission.
As if you are waiting for someone
to say, yes, you are allowed.

But no one is coming to grant you authority.
No degree, no title, no nod of approval
will make

Premium MemberA Well Paid Collapse

The alarm clock sounds off to the tune of Neil Young’s, There’s a World. 
A place that is non-existent in today’s life of a constant upwhirl. 
Our dreams and aspirations are put to the side.  
To get ready for the day of demands and haste for pride. 
We enter our vehicles to begin a

Resolutes Desk 1 to Martin

Was the article illusive
In transparent approach
The suitor in study
As students with rome?

Cause and able, yet
There she isn't

Father, as Queen Elizabeth

We are these Irish people
"Are Problematic!!!!"
Why?
Tissnt birthed of ink Elizabeth 
The inkling romes


The prerogative jollies as a gent in 
The Americas 
Play his phones



Father
Lord of manner I shall not weep from
backwords she can't gavel
above her the beast
hateful of beauty in arrival
to learn the day 
to burn the way
opened eye must, alone
become a sacrifice

In the Wake of Transformation

Affirmed & Perfect
I looked at my reflect, 
Green T-shirt paired with black pants, 
Hopes of bright future surged ahead. 

I waited long, till a van came, 
Reached late when class had already commenced, 
Nervous and unknown in that herd, 
I thought, 
Someone would know the Aditi I left. 

With each passing day, 
I, too, failed

newspaper business has brought us far


newspaper business has brought us far
to these territories where desert rivers
descend from    huge clouds cultivated
but we live on        twisted lips to build
something for              those coming in
oh you who love

all directions from the same place



all directions from the same place 
don’t lead to the same place
  that’s why you’re a butterfly
     and I, a moth, but one family
         the abandoned lawn
            but I care about

Rough Draft

[Hook]

Despite all these doubts he shouts at the demons
From now on You cant talk me out of believing
He realized this the right time to get even
Cause he knows there is no sequel

So doubtful of my financial welfare 
who the hell cares but I do

Slogging Through the Riff-Raff

Fender-bender over there,
the traffic is awful,
ain’t not space left in the lot,
that’s such a load of bull,
and the punch-in barely works,
that’s almost criminal,
this is how we all start the day….
The whole server’s on the fritz,
I.T. just says reset,
I’ve turned if off three times,
but it hasn’t worked yet,
and the boss is running late
yet it’s a safe
