I wonder why the air is not seen?
Is it too naughty or is it too clean?
I wonder why the water seems blue?
Is it still choosing which colour will do?
I wonder why I can't fly?
Did I do something wrong or did I lie?
I wonder and wonder where is my tail?
Mom assures me though it'll come soon by mail!
I wonder why the rainbow is bent?
Is it too old or is it too hight to mend!
Questions don't end do they?
And I'm not surprised curiosity ends with a why.
A lot has changed since I was eight.
My brain gained a bit of weight,
Dance went from a hobby to a skill.
Grandma went from writing notes to her will.
Losing stuff went from teeth to pounds.
My dog went from a puppy to a hound.
Boys went from cooties to cuties.
Money went from tokens to toonies.
Height went from short to tall.
Insecurities went from one wall to a whole hall.
Yet the part that changed the most,
Wasn’t my hight my looks or even my growth.
It’s the way I care.
The way people stare.
The way people talk.
The way people walk.
People went from smiles to death glares.
From jokes to dares.
From runners to heels.
Yet I still don’t get the appeal.
This is a paper kite ,
It's goes up very hight, Looks like a tiny flight,
Makes children to delight, We can't able to write, To fly kite is our right, We can't take it as slight, Is it a funny game alright?, No need to pay for this fright,
We can compete for kite fight,
We can't see kite in night, It can't come to our sight, It can fly in the high sprite, Right is our might .
I SIT AT MY DESK
BY DAY AND BY HIGHT
WITH NOTHING TO SHOW
EXCEPT THIS PILE OF "NOT RIGHT"
ALL THAT I WANT
IS TO WRITE A GOOD BOOK
TO AROUSE ENOUGH INTEREST
FOR A PUBLISHER TO LOOK
SO I WILL SIT AT MY DESK
BY DAY AND BY NIGHT
AND I WILL NOT LEAVE
UNTIL I GET IT RIGHT
When the moon is full will you not come?
Can you not like the rose petals out stretched,
come at the hight of the moon?
Life is to short too stand off in the
Distance, high in the sky like the clouds.
And together to soon tonight will be gone,
like a wave on the beach that is lost.
Ah, my Marina Queen!
You, who reigns over the Marina with grass
so tantalizing, so verdantly green.
Holding costly homes that gaze over the
San Francisco Bay,
I adored the music of fog horns, and
could listen to them hight and day.
We all blessed by a mystical, silent drops of fog!
Embracing the Marina and we, your most serene
residents ......all night long!
No tourists on the huge lawns, run!
They. unknowingly believe Pier 39 and souvenirs
are far more fun?
San Franciscans know the city far better than a
sleazy tourist attraction.
They love the unknown jazz and coffee haunts.
Smiling at one another in delightful satisfaction.
The overpowering scent of Eucalyptus trees,
The Japanese tea garden.
Souls that are totally free!

Dogs are not safe,
Many stolen,
Broken hearted owners,
Prey they come back,
Most stolen for puppy farming,
Some stolen for dog fighting,
Many types of vehicle used,
White transit vans the most,
Check for markings on your property,
You then know yours is chosen,
Hight fencing extra locks needed,
In the garden stay with them,
Take care when taking walkies,
Be vidulent stay public,
If a vehicle stops those inside watching your pets,
Keep on walking and call the police
Rest of the things on this Earth to grow Mount Everest to follow suit to grow by the hight of a school going child or to the hip from the toe of his father Mount Everest has come up nearing the galaxy of stars by 2.8 feet.
No, my Lord,
I do not pray for mercy but only for
moral strength,
strength, my own wings to grow,
hight to heavens to fly
and
nearer to Thee my soul to be!

To those Purple Orchids,
bringing my mystique out.
wantedly or without my permit.
To the brisk blow.,
to snog it tacitly
here beside my ear.
Then to the sturdy sea,
for reminding me,
The sentence of a sin.
To the flaming fire.,
For rescuing me
From all deceits.
To the cool drizzle.,
to call the warmth out
When it's hight temp there.
To these silvery chords.,
To pop up the question
when all others in quiet.
Sky's splendor
Night's light
Heart's tender
Lover's hight:
Full Moon!*

* Yesterday night as I was watching the moon came up with this little poem.
he is our maker
and heart breaker
for us all
be there if you call
its sit hight above
there is only
ONE LOVE can think of
GODS LOVE
Thus wilting becomes of me, the star so constant, yet so lonely,
Was tiss the hight yet to be reached, what is our limit?
Thy'est thunder reaps my soul for what it sews...
What tiss thee end?
Ney encomber thee, powerfully tempted, upon thee,
What tiss the end?
A'Loft, a-sunder, encombered, enwrapped in a colapse
Of thoughts falling like snowflakes in the sun.
Why does the stars begin to fade,
Because of cruelty and fate,
Or maybe dream's not good enough,
Or day was hard and long and rough?
Perhaps there were no kind words,
But there were pranks and tricks of gods,
And might be it was just last drop,
And there're no faith and love and hope?
And there is troll, there is no elf,
Oh, I should write it to myself,
Because in pure and blue-blue Hight
My stars, alas, are not so bright.
The clouds are brought with restless wind,
It's howling loudly just like fiend,
But I assume we having scars
Can fire up again the stars.
Let I'm a piece of sheet, so be it,
The scrap of yours, the scrap of them,
I have no pity (I don't need it)
for past, I burnt I loved I ran
my soul (and it was very silly)
to playful eyes of yours, and bounce
my brig has wrecked, there was no feeling
since this time. Oh, there was no us!
Yes, I'm a piece of sheet, I'm tired
to stand my suffering (it's fine)
so long so hopeless in quiet riot
I trust new copybook with time
accept me in its embrace newly
in spite of evil and my woes,
My wings will lift me up, they truly
big, they are gorgeous, of course.
Let I was good in my confessions,
No, I'm not piece of sheet at all,
Oh, I was written with my passions,
But I am clean now, and my soul
is open, I'm not scared of falling,
My wings are lightly in the hight,
New hand will touch clean sheet with morning,
New copybook will frame my flight.
