What Red Stars Foretell
Jack Ma once what a force, now all spent,
Pony Ma of Tencent on ascent.
In china, asked to bend,
They fall flat than defend,
Demanded when, pay up red-star rent,
In public never rant
Ever be obedient,
Know, Red Stars never care for their cants!

What the Stars Foretell
Here I am
Grounded on earth
And, my fate
Hangs in the stars
My future
Is predicted by people
Who are unsure
Of their own fate
For them,
It is profitable business—
They have absolutely
Nothing at stake
All they have to do
Is to play with my anxiety
And, I am sure
To shell out nickels
The astrologers
Tell you,
“What the stars foretell”
Or, so they say!

Foretell
Their very presence
Only but foreshadowing
Of how life will be.
In the future, what I see
Is me, finally, so free.

Nor Could I Foretell You
NOR COULD I FORETELL YOU
Before I leave I could see
Bated hoods ofTrials
Of love and life .
Protruding stuffed pocktes
Of havesack
Moth eaten trails and judgements
Of our love and life .
Heaving I left the terrain
Seeing not wayside brooks and inns
Exiles glaring and grunting
Nor could I foretell you for good.
Cab moved disinterestedly
Before I could hear
A deep moan fading out
That

Nor Could I Foretell You
NOR I FORETELL YOU
Before I leave I could'nt see you
Bated hoods of trials
Of life and love .
Protruding stuffed pockets
Of havesack,
Moth eaten trails and judgments
Of our love and life.

Exiles glaring and grunting
Nor could I faretell your for good.

Foretell the Soul
THE EYES FORETELL THE WAY TO ONE’S SOUL.
A COLOSSAL GATHERING OF WARMTH AND LOVE
THAT SHINE AND SIMMER WITH EACH BLINK.
WITH A SIMPLE GLANCE, IT RADIATES TO ANOTHERS SOUL.
A DOUBLETAKE AND MORE IS FOUND.
AN ENERGY THAT IS PASSED & FELT TO THE VERY CORE.
MAGNETISM SO STRONG
CONTINUALLY
