A letter to the futureGood morning there
Here I come..
With nothing in hand
But promise of the better you
I lament no more…
The torment of the past
Remain in the past
Here I pass my greetings.
I wax thinking my yesterday was the worst
Until I heard you are the best
Then I got perplexed by your possibilities
I got possessed by your peace
Here...

As we metamorphose“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed” - Anonymous
We lead a life that we can look back and be proud of
striving to be the best that we can be
as we let the future take its course
We accept the...

Considering my What Ifs
I was going to become a teacher
I thought it was my calling
I was young and thought it best
to go to university straight out of high school
before I'd go to teachers' college
Well... things did not go as planned
for better or for worse, who knows
I got sidetracked ended up taking a job
education got shelved for longer than...

After ThoughtsLegacies of the now and the after
Blossoms and glooms in a cycle
A breech of sadness and laughter
Thoughts of the past in the present
The after life dreaded thoughts
These are thoughts of the after life

Open Road of Future
Vast horizon calls,
Unknown miles in front of me,
Future's wind whispers.

Lava vs IceSomewhere up above a mountain
Was the volcano to maintain
Lava voice as hot as anger
It seemed nothing but a danger
For away down the valley
Was a frozen lake
I was spitting so one could take
Stream thought only one was jelly
Fish to go deeper than deeper
Lava ran to valley
It was...

But still I wonderWill I stop writing poetry
when my hands begin to tremble
and when my hair has fallen out?
When I'm short of breath,
my eyesight feeble
and my legs are weak?
When I lose my hearing,
my yearning for passion
and my craving for adventure?
What about when
I become forgetful
and cannot find the words?
What if I'm ill and
fall into an...

The GemI considered a gem today
A gem that I will one day own
A gem that brought such splendor
A delight that I had never known
I considered a gem today
A gem that I intend to keep
A gem that brought such beauty
A brilliance that caused my heart to leap
I considered a gem today
A gem that I desire...

To a future LoverI am watching 3 inches off of the floor,
The man outside waits at my door
I know the screams from within the box
Howl and call upon your order upon the rocks
But I know you can hold your tongue 'till the end of the night
And I know you can wait until I seem right.
Feel your spite,...

Adversities Halted This Promising Journey Of MineAdversities halted this promising journey of mine...
wreaking much uneasiness and restlessness,
starting from zero is the demise of dreamers:
configuration can end in dissent and not shine
with the genial ideas that diverge from brashness,
and what could have bloomed turned to demise.
This youth wasn't the one promised to the very young
With a voracious mind...

The Day I Gave Up My Small BattlesI decided to leave small battles for small fighters:
I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me
I have stopped fighting with my relatives
I stopped fighting for love and attention
I've stopped fighting for my rights in rallies
I stopped fighting to please everyone
I left this fight to those who have nothing to fight for anymore
I began to fight...

It’s time to take down Iran

Perfect Vision
Hindsight is twenty-twenty,
We imperturbably say.
But what is insightful vision,
When life is looking the opposite way?
Would words of wisdom
Record a different story
If life could be lived in reverse?
Returning to familiar territory,
Undoing the “What’s done is done” ancient curse?
Receiving before it is given,
Understanding pain,
From where and why it came,
With the warmth of forgiveness
Preceding the cold, hard rain.
There...

I Stop Taking RisksDon't be angry, don't show that long face;
they change whenever they try to cheat,
I stop taking risks and reject this defeat:
distrust could be gone with one embrace!
I stop taking risks regardless of its awful outcome,
waiting is useless hope when it turns into delusion;
how much can be accomplished in the meantime
depend on the right set of...
