Truly blessed are those who harvest best
What can be called “The Gentle Sense”
Of form or shape it cannot be
But is possessed within for eternity
In the quest of addressing dichotomies
The enlightened perceive 360 degrees
By favouring one point at the expense of the other
An appreciation is felt for the opposites together.
Truth imbibed must be assimilated,
in as becoming a flicker-free flame,
that dwelling in light, bliss celebrated,
there remain no tempests of lust to tame,
whence shining as Self, we fulfill life’s aim.
Dwelling in heart, focus unwavering,
path of divine love and light favouring.
NOONRAY IN WINTER
Noonray in your navel
a locus for language light
whale wave wishes
in water songs kisses
as July just jokes along
Winter wonder words waffling
storm crown chakra baffling
cold she stirs potted iced rice
as rain rigorously roars
Noonray holds the dice
On hailstone highway she
instantly marries marigold
instinct with indigo intuition
timing tactical thunderbolts
favouring floods for nutrition
Noonray in silent shiver
shake or hide shelter seek
a game of glum greeting
Winter knows no flotsam
fathomless figure awaiting
Noonray no wee whimpers
or white wisdoms waste
in a wineglass she slithers
six seamless seasonless
sweets simultaneously
… then quivers !

It grows on you,
Like mold and moss,
Like weeds,
Those thoughts.
They were once so bright,
They made my eyes sting,
Everything looked beautiful,
An industrial district, an abandoned town,
A shadowed waterfront.
Me reminding that I’m weak,
Yet you continued to hurt me,
My electric paradise,
You took away the colours,
Hexed all the memories.
To not hear your breathing in the dark,
I find it hard,
The more I fix the broken things,
The less you want to try,
You’ll never make it good.
I exposed myself to you,
Flesh and mind,
Favouring the former,
You kissed every inch of me,
Poisoning my soul.
Burning black,
That fire I had within me,
Has gone out,
Night after night,
Crumbling into ever dark
Coal.
I used to sing sweet tunes unto you my dear ,
I used to blaze my very best lines ,
With joy favouring our bolded hearts ,
And yet the dark cloud fell unexpectly .
Seen is on flee
It's your words against mine ,
Pride is before our eyes,
And slowly we are becoming the enemies of love .
Gone are those days ,
When i used to you call mine ,
In return you would pour me smiles .
Gone are those minutes i used to wear cloud nine ,
And you would call me a lucky charm .
There i recall ,sank our ship of romance because of pride
that wiped our love like mice at the centre of nile .
And now I say farewell
To you now I say farewell my love I've treasured every day spent with you I've shared many a happy year with you by my side And together we've made it through. We've weathered many storms along the way But never has your love been wavering. And in times o trouble or saddened times It was my heart you were always favouring. So my darling let me tell you With these words I say to you. You'll never know how much I truly love you And for everything for me you do. A best friend for a lifetime A soulmate through my life. We've struggled through the hard times But we've conquered every strife. You're truly one in a million My one and only true love. I love you now and always Forever and above.

Warm, cornflower blue September skies,
Chase away end of summer
Escorting in the beginning of
Unruffled, cool, wet, autumn
Shortening the days.
Days of exhausting work
From dusk until dawn
Bring a successful abundant harvest
As summer closes.
Touch of living gaze and jump into
An intricate maze of crescendo color,
Flickering in a tangled blaze
Of whispering filigreed leaves.
Mother Nature's natural unspoiled
Watercolor weft tapestry.
The air creeps along
Filled with tickled laughter
Bring shedding leaves down
Onto the ground cover.
Rainy, and sunny filled days
Raise a gentle favouring breeze
Journey under gray and orange skies.
Nature's essence,
Of harmony and rhythm
A soul of perfection beneath
Shadowed shade and sigh
The flow of rapture proceeds in joy.
Children go back to school
On the big yellow bus
Driving the bus driver crazy.

To you now I say farewell my love
I've treasured every day spent with you
I've shared many a happy year with you by my side
And together we've made it through.
We've weathered many storms along the way
But never has your love been wavering.
And in times o trouble or saddened times
It was my heart you were always favouring.
So my darling let me tell you
With these words I say to you.
You'll never know how much I truly love you
And for everything for me you do.
A best friend for a lifetime
A soulmate through my life.
We've struggled through the hard times
But we've conquered every strife.
You're truly one in a million
My one and only true love.
I love you now and always
Forever and above.

Approaching life with love
Lived with an open heart,
Irrespective of others differences
Fundamentally shining light,
Everyone welcome to join me,
Oneness and unity on mass
Favouring love over hate,
Lighting a path and a way to
Omniscient love in this world,
Vehemently embracing unity
Everything equal as it ought to be,
Attaching ourselves more to peace,
Negating hate, war and jealousy
Dedicating our time to betterment,
Lifting up the whole of humanity
Irresistibly the light is drawing me
Great fully exposing the love in me
Highlighting just how life can be
Trusting in the love and the light.

Eddy lives in the gullibility and cohesibility of a gritty city
Between assimilability civility reality and triviality
Here Eddy’s senility is merely an eligible technicality
A wink of eccentricity fragility debility futility impossibility risibility
Still under that mighty illusion of invincibility virility and viability
Invisibility’s equivalent to gentility favouring stability and incredulity
Eyes void of deceptibility infallibility predictability divisibility
Eddy is still irresistibly witty with intelligibility bordering geniality
The indelibility of his ability versus disability for agility and flexibility
Gives Eddy eligibility admissibility accessibility feasibility visibility and divisibility
Implicit credibility whimsicality spirituality frivolity and squeezability
Eddy believes there’s no margin for self-pity when you own a pretty itty bitty kitty

I see how it is!
The unfairness
The bias
The points
The favouring
The list
The majority
The inferiority
The familiar
The misinterpretation
The misunderstanding
The attention
The repetition
The frustration
The blocking
The leaving
The watching!
The tricks
The system
The rules
The freedom
The whatever
The forever
Oh my head!
Get off me you little bug until the next contest!

If one day my God will call me
To go and be there at His side
I really do not want to leave you
But with Him I must abide
The soul by fire must be tempered
Hence we come to walk on earth
To suffer trials and tribulations
So our Lord will know our worth
Few of us will ever make it
Through the tests we face in life
Many will the fight relinquish
Favouring the rope or the knife
Others turn to drugs to blot out
The drudgery of daily dread
Hoping in their hazy mind set
A better life to find instead
But alas this is a pipe dream
We must follow a cleaner track
Ask our Lord for His forgiveness
And plead with Him to have us back
Then our soul will fly to Heaven
Passing others on the way
Who have yet to face the trials
Of yet another sin filled day
BON VOYAGE ---
" let him sink ,
let him rest
he has worked hard
to make it to west"
" its turn now for moon to rise
to make his way from paradise
he would rise for the occasion
help u know ur position
would see him coming from east
just thank him n smile atleast"
" sparkling the sky
with an atti of never to die
u would always see Mr. Star
hes never too far"
" Rigel, Sirius, Vega , Capella
u name him watever
he'd always be seen
glowing the sky forever
days when moon has ties
his presence will strobe ur eyes
guiding u throughout twilight
escorting till Sun shines bright "
" these buddies will help u cruise
on courses u have choosed
never let u down or be late
with an aim
for u to safely navigate"
" Smooth seas N favouring winds
they always wish for her
so that for her Onus she'd never fail
and all her life
She'd would Proudly sail Sail sail !!!
