Guilty as charged they passed on the verdict
As the prisoner who had been accused of an atrocity, stood before the jury.
It comprised of not more than three panel of judges.
The eldest judge with white curly hair that rested upon his shoulders.
The prisoner, Innocent as the first born sons of Egypt on a merciless night; He slept in anguish of his own demise.
Dreamily and sadly
He murmured, "comfort is a precipice, a shadow that covers off the light from our eyes;"
However, his punishment was to grow in his garden, a white rose for each time he wrote a poem.

Thou,be my inspiration, motivation and aspiration,
Thou,be my guidance like father,brother and mother;
Thou, be my close friend, lover and all my admiration;
Thou, mine hope,prospect and ideal advisor;
In harsh and easy,thou walks the thoroughfare majestically,
Raising high head glowing light when in low,
Thou,my Lord Poet, uplifting the juvenile youths intrigue,
Is thine purpose, carrying the spirit of never say never;
Some dispraise and spit,yet,thine heart of gold is not fatigue,
World doth read thee,thine fame soars over world and ether ever,
Known to universe, a wonder Poet from Bhutan,
Whose heart is visionary,guileless, immortal and moral to whole,
Working with devout fealty as in toiling tan,
To serve TSA-Wa-Sum from all his soul;
Yeah,methink,how bless'd was I then
To have met my true encouragement
Let me pen some gratitude from unfain heart ;
Shall thou be all our hearts of compassion and happiness;
There be charm in flow of thine songs and poetry;
Let none come shatter the way towards destination,
Let your poetic soul live everyday
I call my friends and Gods to praise thee,
To form the world of enchanting music evermore.

When young my world through rose tint glasses seen;
my life was grand and to all problems blind;
the world was never seen as byzantine;
no diff’rence ever known in all mankind.
But as I aged I started seeing hate
by some toward the people not the same.
Yet did the Lord not everyone create?
Then why do some their neighbors still defame?
Now sixty years have passed since younger days,
and still with hatred there are those obsessed
who still continue neighbors to dispraise;
my heart is colored sad within my chest.
The moans still heard as whispers in the wind;
will mankind ever let their rage rescind?

Ignite the fuse
As I've nothing left to lose
My last gambit is a thriller
With the eyes of a killer
My verse is written in your heart
I pull at the strings and it falls apart
Our love will disappear
My lovely darling dear
With the gall of a Caesar
I was never much of an appeaser
Feel free to call me a charlatan
But I prefer asinine artisan
I gave this passion my all
Now I light the fire to watch it fall
In a final burning blaze
This is my last chance to dispraise
Maybe, just maybe, I'm not okay
My sorrow is the last thing my eyes could betray
Everything changes at the drop of a dime
Unfortunately I've run out of time
If I could only say how I felt
Such beautifully spoken words to make the heart melt
I wonder if the world would even care
Or would they simply stare
I'm a tragedy away from a meltdown
But these walls guarantee it will be without sound
By the time anyone knows
I'll be gone I do suppose
Ignite the fuse
One last time light my muse
I have nothing left to lose
When happiness is just a ruse

People post dreams
Seldom sleeps at night
Walking within wretched paths
Ever evenly earned so
Sleep seldom wake up feet
Fancy flesh freely dancing
Under ukulele wake
Beating beats boasting dancing feet
Freedom frolic rhythm beats
Am awaken I from my dream dazed
Razed running daydreams now coming
Double day dreaming wishing I was again sleeping
So peaceful pleasantly posed
Sleeping severely settled in solace
Goodness guess I dance in my sleep
Detailed dispraise dense and devout
Gonna get down stay awake
For heaven sake dancing in my sleep while I'm awake
