My Truths

I heard beauty hides behind eyes,
            Under the ugly disguise of the flawed skin,
As the storms dim us slowly, we realise our sins;
I heard that my ancestors believe me more than them,

Horizon of Comprehension

A simple misconception,
Can lead to endless argumentation.
Once it started its initiation,
It'll always have a continuation.

The tension escalates,
While the calmness disintegrates.
How can you mitigate?
A situation from someone obstinate.

Everything starts small,
Then out of its area, it'll crawl.
Slowly climbing over the wall,
Leading to the downfall.

You're not someone I hate,
It's not even up for debate.
Your hunger can't be sated,
You'll

Premium MemberStarving Spines

Pages turn thin, thin as the plot thickens
Thinning knowledge as ignorance quickens
Spines crack from hunger, hunger for minds
Cracking under pressure of different kinds

Books starve for attention, attention spans wane
Starving for readers in this digital rain
Covers collect dust, the dust of neglect
Collecting cobwebs, respect they collect

Words go stale, stale on forgotten shelves
Staling wisdom as society delves
Into

Premium MemberUnfinished Poems

All poems are unfinished
Only those in sonnet are finished
Completed, done, and terminated
A poem can still be edited
Revised, retouched and rewritten
A poem is a powerful tool or weapon
Leave alone my unfinished poems
These are my spices, my stars, my emblems
You don't understand their symbols
And the words used to fill up the bowls
You just have to read my

Overthinking

A thought not yet realized 
Unearth, my cerebellum contorted in confusion 
A lack of comprehension 
The heart of iron melted at first hesitation 
Trembling with fear and burdened with disgust 
Feeling unworthy even though the asset has value 
Within a second, the idea evaporated into nothingness

Premium MemberThe Power Of Unity

Love yourself first, love your own,
Like your two eyes, so you won't be alone.
In the end, God will gleefully handle the rest.

Spread love, not hate, this is the best
Thing to do, in this corrupt and sorry society.
Love is power, love is a powerful army.

Do not worry about the hatemongers.
Believe me they are a bunch of

Premium MemberI Do Not Comprehend Why

I don’t comprehend why
Human beings cannot get along
Why can’t they play and sing the same song
Of Peace and Love together? Why, Why?
Why human beings are killing each other
In the streets, the straits, the strips and on the river
Of life? Our stay on Earth is so short, too short
Why is somebody bombing the sea and the

Premium MemberEverybody Is Destroying Haiti

Everybody is destroying Haiti
Please stop, stop, and quit. Give the country
A rich autumn. Too many bandits, vandals
Too many thefts, lootings, too many crises and scandals
On this impoverished and exploited island
Give Haiti a chance to be and live better. Give our Land
A break with too much crimes, violence and injustice
Haiti needs real peace, real love and

Late Comprehension

I died with high hopes I would directly rise
fast upwards to heaven. But to my surprise
someone kept me waiting, don't know for how long.
Commandments all ten dutifully obeyed,

three times per day all my long life always prayed,
so I had considered myself good and wise.
A bright angel told me: "My child, you are wrong.
Self-righteousness we call

There's nothing. Nothing... Nothing.

Two Comparable Contrasts

what i say about Tim
Extends to Solemn Kim
Starting with moustache grim
and two eyes oddly dim;
Two Voices for God’s Hymn
Happy to uplift Him….


But I think Tim is slim
And Kim rather The Plim,
Tim following his whim
Prepared to challenge Kim
And even rubbish him!

Kim fills cups to their brim
And Tube judges by Rim,
Tim, The One who can skim
And comprehensions

Premium MemberDepression Steals Real Lives

Depression kills
Real lives.
Depression steals
Real lives.
Self-punishment
Is not the answer.
Self-fulfillment
Is the profound desire
To love oneself, to be proud,
To hope and to cry out loud
That happiness and success
Are waiting near the corner.
Suicide is evidently not the answer.
Joy can neutralize anxiety, anguish and anger.
Depression is a bad disease, take it seriously.
Nothing is simplistic, simple or easy
In life.  Stay

Premium MemberOn Mythology and Heroes, Part One Medusa, Monster Hideous Beyond Comprehension

On Mythology And Heroes, Part One
Medusa, monster hideous beyond comprehension
 
All is there within Medusa's abhorrent gaze
hiding in black-realms wherein monsters daily graze
beyond that abyss, the roaring of aching screams
from there impossible to see sun's golden beams
pathways, hideous corridors painted with blood
where dead love and dying dreams may forever flood!
 
Eternal night, chambers of horror
