Rise and Go
When morning softly calls your name,
Yet body begs for sleep’s embrace,
Remember, dreams still burn their flame,
And only you can set their pace.
When obstacles block every view,
And others claim, “It’s not for you,”
Stand firm and say, “I’ll see this through,
My steps will break these walls in two.”
When hope feels lost and skies are grey,
Let heart become

Give Them The Price They Want
When folks accuse or blame you,
just stay calm, keep quiet.
They run the world, it seems,
and there’s really no winning against their words.
So just keep going forward.
Give them the price they want.
Let go of whatever makes them mad.
Step back when you need to,
stay out of their sight and reach.
That’s the reality—if you’re open enough to see

Don't Give up
Hard to say,if I stay
Like that,
But I say,I remind
It all,
Whether as a good or
As a bad,
I cann't say,I cann't
Change tomorrow,
I'm human,I may change
But not give up
Till I don,t get death.

Ceasefires Don't Give Peace a Chance
Guns stop firing, still the hate goes on,
with grievance still burning all along.
Peace talks halted, no hearts in repair,
Just hollow moments, trembling in air.
Need more than stalling, need to claw back trust,
Need to face the truth that inclusion is a must —
Not in the silence, but when hands entwine,
Not to encompass truce, but to redraw

THE FINEST GIRL IN MY STREET
There's this fine girl
In my street
She said I'm very sweet
She licks me like ice cream
When the play starts
She gives me high screams.
Her body shape
Just like the coca cola bottle
She said she likes my muscles
She likes the way I grab her
She got the best styles and wine
When we

Give me back the seventies
the seventies is my go-to decade
for it is when I was my cutest
and my three daughters were born
I looked terrific in my bell bottom jeans
the edge of them had rickrack and lace
I embroidered a happy face and flowers on her pockets
my go-to vest was loaded with fringe
I wore my hair long and messy; I felt

Give me such grief, O God
Ere I die, such a life give me, O God,
That I get unaware of me, O God,
So that my heart’s pain hover not on tongue,
Lifeless helplessness so heavy, O God,
That, on gulping oceans I go quenchless,
Give me quenchless quench so dreary, O God.
Give me downpours of pain, night of sorrows,
When did I say make me

Give me one last night of silence in the cosmic temple of ancient memory
Give me one last night of silence in the cosmic temple of ancient memory,
Where shadows dance with light in circles of fire and hidden divine grace,
To touch with trembling fingers the stars from the cup of the thirsty soul,
To drink from the black wine of eternity, from chalices filled with moon's blood.
Give me one last

Give Me A Moment
Give me a moment
Give me a moment
to collect my words of love
and share them with you
give me a chance to
express emotions of love
with a touch of you
give me your left hand
for it bears a trace of love
and it speaks of you

Just Give me Paints and Some Brushes
just give me paints and some brushes, the little girl said.
She had drops and drips all over her face and her head.
Her overalls were saturated with paints in reds and blue.
What else could we do? Asked her mother, what else could we do?
She painted her way through college, covering canvases galore.
Sixteen hundred paintings, and maybe
