The War
==============================
We need a pair of wings
to soar in the luminous skies
and a pair of legs
to walk on the verdant terrain,
then why do you furnish arms
offering dread, agony & harsh restraint,
Who demands blood,
a hardened heart and unyielding soul ?
We require esteemed brotherhood
to guarantee our unity,
tranquil existence
and essential civility for our dignity,
then why do you impart ire,
impart brutality, turbulence & savagery,
who likes a bleak & desolate earth,
a barren land and a moonless dark night.
You may need a slendid palace,
a world of selfish kingdom,
and an ocean of fabricated tales to wage war,
But we merely need a small pond
to swim across, a leafy tree for making nest,
and a pot to cook our bread & butter;
when you will be trying to make your crown
after melting our future,
it is sure you will be no where.
Life is an entralling story
not an engineered pun,
history says,
those who traded other‘s blood in litre
their poison blood drained out in ton.
How perversely exciting it used to be, in
the months after you made your decision
to abandon this hopeless situation
meaning [rueful laughter] the UK, not so much
the shattered bones of you and me
I was still hanging on, a faithful puppy
getting up early and heading out to Heathrow
to provide the welcome committee
and then I went straight to work? and where
did you go on those days?
I forget you had other friends, and
that strangely I wasn't the epicentre
of your multiverse
30 years have passed
the children you had with Wolfgang cycle shorts
may even have children now, but
Facebook won't furnish me with that information
On those airport journeys I always listened to
the Blood on the Tracks cassette
I found in the office 'library', a source of much wonder
which also included rare volumes, magazines
and actual vinyl. They didn't appreciate what they had
and neither, here comes the punch-
line, did I
There will come a day when I forget
to furnish you with flowers
and your noble heart will grieve
o'er the chilled dimming of bright fire.
But fear deceives us best
when we know there's much to lose.
As for my lapse - don't let it frighten;
for in a way it means the opposite of
what you think.
For my own imperfect mind
forgot to remind me to prove
what it assumed you already knew:
that flowers and chocolates
and poems and kisses
and all else that I could give you
are insufficient - unequal to what you deserve.
And, to my feeble mind,
such things were unnecessary -
for I thought you knew
that I loved you.

Closed minds always speak
words of relevance to them.
others furnish ears.
Whats your vision? Like..An idea of the ultimate right?
How can wrong be converted? History.?? Tell it to me
In sharp definition; much clarity! be precise what exact
Ammount of buttons were on George Washingtons coat
Or jacket and what makeup were they.? At Yorktown the
Seminal day.' Am I right in denying the existance of the
Broader scenes if you cant furnish this one instance.?
Did pilate wear sandals? More than likely.' Does that bear
On Christs trial.? More than the (pilate stone?) Here
I shall just put; Crickey.!!
Dare to tell my story, unique and bold,
Compose and consume, my truth to unfold.
Dare to voice my choices, loud and clear,
Dare to stop the unwanted, and calm my fear.
Like a sculptor, I'll chip away the pain,
Furnish my soul, and emerge anew again.
With every step, I'll dare to try,
To win or lose, but never say die.
I'll remove every filthy scalp of doubt,
And rise above, with a spirit devout.
My story's mine, and I'll dare to tell,
A tale of courage, of trials to compel.
I have time for you all.' I endeavour to write for you all.)
Whether you agree with what I put or not.' I respect you.)
And offer what I have become aware of..In the spirit of
Openess.' And willingness to share..I will not consider you
Stupid.' For having trusted in information put out by media
And governments that has been proven false and planned
To be so.' We are more dependant on each other than ever
Yet at the same time..We can be more effective than at any
Point in history to date.' If we are accepting of each other'
And willing to submerge ideaology's that are not condusive
To human co-existence based on the sustainable family
Family units that have proven over time, to furnish humanity with the best possible framework to strengthen
All on lifes journey's there are those obviously who stand
Outside of thiat reality.' To them I extend acceptance if
They stay within their own spheres of life, as idiosyncracys
Cannot become the norm.' Because they are idiosyncracys.'
All my best to all who will accept it!
The vibrancy of the rich hued kaleidoscope
Across the firmament,
Wide open eyes ~ a pantomime unexpected
A child’s innocent smile
Free from taint and defilement
Touching its cheeks with a lot of fondness~ an involuntary reaction
An old man’s fragile hand
When stretched,
Penetrating hands into pockets for extending alms ~ an impetuous action
A sudden meet of my teacher on the way
Palms come together and go folded
Making a traditional Namaskar~ an untaught response
When passing by temple
Stop for a while;
Closing eyelids to recall His image~ an effortless doing
The solemn tune of the national anthem
Stop all at once and
Rising to feet to pay respect~ an impulsive gesture
Spontaneity delineates a man’s character
It reveals the real tendency of man
Intuitive and insightful learning,
Selfless love and unprejudiced cogitation
Steer our actions in an agreeable manner
Introspection about our spontaneous actions
Furnish space to learn and examine our traits.

Of all the colors He could choose
to with the natural world suffuse
God chose to fill the earth with green,
that makes the forests so serene.
I am amazed that so much green
does not create a boring scene.
Instead, green glades gladden the mood
and furnish sights on which to brood.
Green calms the body and the mind
relieving stress of every kind.
God’s gift of green, He offers free,
to foster health for you and me.
Eating the veggies that are green,
can reduce fat and make you lean.
Green smoothies are healthy to drink,
If you are fat, they’ll help you shrink.
The shades of green in nature’s space,
reveal a wise Creator’s face.
So, when by nature you are awed,
wonder, and worship her wise God.
Where do the lies go
That you tell yourself
Do they take root
And feed upon your health
Fattening themselves
Then like a dart
Finding nourishment
Into your willing heart.
Don't tell me
You don't feel them there.
The lies never die
They furnish their lair
What do we lose?
Self respect the ego fall
Our own sense of worth
The biggest lie of all.

A splash of colours on a plain white sheet,
I add life to the paper, That's what I see.
I mix those colours and derive brand new ones,
Sometimes they seem absolutely anonymous,
But I still love the shades, the perfect blending they furnish,
They highlight the place wherever they reach.
They turn a paper into a masterpiece
They turn every desolate corner into a lively place
They become a mouthpiece of my ecstasy underneath
and establish a connection between my heart and my heartbeat.
They express my feelings with a sense of loyalty
And give me a small treat of divine affinity...
Town planners would us astonish,
When they rocks and hills demolish,
So as to new cities polish,
Their smart dwellers make less foolish
And it all turns out Bad Rubbish;
Reason to them all admonish
And Town Planning just abolish…
Town planners should themselves furnish
With what would a terrain burnish,
Not sensitive eyeballs punish;
Town planners watched by all eyes
Can’t afford to be that unwise.
As they neighborhoods garnish,
Their image sadly tarnish.
Give to health primary importance
As that alone will keep you safe
Mind and body must be healthy
To keep the soul in fine spirits
Spoiling health is dead easy
Many bad habits are there
Acquiring is never a problem
It can be done very quickly
Those habits that are good
May be very hard to form
But, they will sustain body
And also mind and peace
Prayer, exercise and meditation
Are forever remarkable habits
The benefits that they furnish
Are absolutely incomparable
God-faith alone will heal finely
Fill mind with holy contentment
Never hesitate to approach God
Miraculous cures are available.
I know I have found what you have
Been searching for.
Is it love or not?
Is it friendship by fate?
Be it times and times again.
I have Come upon love poems and
My day Dreams of you and songs
That were true.
Now empty spaces remain where
Memories once were.
Hearts entwined far pass good bye.
Here now, let us care for our love.
And cherish our love if not i fear
It may drift away.
If we do not pamper this love to
Stay it will cry what may.
Let us furnish our love with songs
And kisses to cheer and love
Melodies to bloom.
Delicate you and happier too.
Hush now listen for sweet tunes
In the distance.
Nothing better than the dance of
My lovers beating heart.
What a musical delight.
A hearty appetite.
Let us look upon this worthy
Affair with tender touching
Blissful blisses loving kisses.
Take to heart let us keep our
Sacred vows for all LIFE TIMES.
HERE WE are and I am sincerely
Amazed at the new me and you.
Do you hear the distant melody.
Let us dance.
Dance my lover until
We are both breathless.
My love
My love
My love
DANCE
