List of Member Poems

Come, See

Stare from stop point,
 for a stand point
Worthy the pillar devoid?
 lost in lasting why?
Details of tale, entail,
 characters who maintain,
So is author's explanation 
 authority often torture,
Frequent and recent capture,
 claim is, best option,
See habitually, their dislike
 come, see.

Barely forced,
 in doubt, ain't indebt
Consider profit,
 a source of balance
And much ahead,
 ever come to conclude
Hesitation,
 of immersion in self?
So within intention,
 a pace form face 
Lucky born form,
 pursue no shadow 
Left in reverse, realize
 in rage, or revise level
Far be, reunion with hate 
 funny to guess try?
Repeating with courage,
 speculations root
A fair teary concern,
 from doubt 
Come,
See...

Spring In the Air

You’ll come to all but me, O spring, and as always once more you’ll bring
To them your scents, hues, birds that sing, warmth and pleasure and everything
Each needs to live like a real king under your ancient azure ring.

My seared leaves you’ll again forget with your soft, balmy rains to wet,
And will leave in the world’s doomed net of harm and hurt and fear and threat.
Me you’ll only wear out and fret and never graciously indebt.

I smell you, though, and wait for you to drive me mad with longings new
And make of me a wondering Jew with a heart all laden with rue
For this life that’s a drop of dew which disappears so soon from view.

Do as you wish. Leave me forlorn. I am already used to scorn.
My lot’s not a rose but her thorn, to wail, to moan, to weep, to mourn.
My blank garden do not adorn! Of all sorts of hope leave me shorn.

A bird forgotten in the snare with nobody around to care
Should helplessly stay there and stare and wear away when it can’t tear
The ugly noose, loathsome, unfair, and only bear all in despair.

Debt All

All to tell 
At all hands 
Now Dettol 
A toll 
To pay out 
To go out
With no Dettol 
How high?
Death toll 

All to tell 
Indebted all 
Dettol  
Indebt all 
Dettol


A Poem To My Mother

I wish I had words to tell 
To show you how much more you mean to me 
They say without water there will be no comfort
My beloved mother without you, there would be no me.
Your love, your attention, your guidance make who I am today

Thank you mom
Thank you for easing life for me 
You taught me right from wrong 
Scold me and embrace me
You let me know the value of life 
You teach me discipline 
You teach me character 
You always told me to be kind 
And be faithful in the dispensation of public service
I'm forever indebt to you my beloved mother 

You show me the way 
Wave me to the right direction of life 
And you let self determination roar in my heart  
To believe in my self and knows what I'm capable of doing
Without you Mother 
I would be wandering without a purpose in life 
Thank you my beloved mother 

You are my dependable source of comfort 
Just like the angel you are my helper 
You are my wonderful friend 
And my best partner till life close the curtain 
Thank you mom
Happy mother's day

Premium Member Carrying a Friend To Father Christ

They came to Him a paralytic carried by four men. St. Mark 2:3

The paralytic came before Father Christ through the heroic effort of 4 men. 
They’re eventually lowering him through a hole in the roof
Without those four men, the paralytic never would have met Father Christ face-to-face or have been healed

Everyone of us can think of someone who has been instrumental in nurturing our faith
We are indebt to parents, religion teachers, spiritual writers 
and or a host of others who have made the faith accessible to us

We may recall the faces of people we are indebted  assisting us in receiving the precious gift of faith
They are the ones who have carried us to Father Christ as well
Is there someone in your life who needs help in coming to Father Christ?

Your Driving Me Crazy

with you i find myself in a state of flux
from happy to sad to confused and confounded
in due course an end will eventually come
but now, i wait indebt, out of control
under your control, lost inside my head
and you with your features, promises
no out right refusal, you thread me through
and when i'm away from you i write poetry
such as  you have never seen
that can never be felt by princess or queen
who have never felt the depth of my being
but to you i assign this power so sacred
that you have my heart, mind and soul
it's true what they say; i'd quit if i could.
but then, how would be the love i wish for me


Premium Member Before the Sun Sets

The sun set with a golden glow the day on which you I met
 On that special  walk in the beautiful  park as the sun set

The sun set a glowing red as I walked with no threat
Amongst the trees of different hues as the sun set

The sun set slowly going down dropping, to it I'm indebt
To enjoying every minute of color as slowly the sun set

The sun set quietly didn't say a word but drew
Others to come in and watch closely as the sun set

The sun sets for you and me my handsome dear
Come close lets get all we can from life before fully the sun sets

Normaility

To do the same as your neighbour,
Though dull as ditchwater,
To love, wed, indebt and procreate,
To dread waking up, to hate your life,
To want what others have,
To expedite your own demise,
To drink and smoke, indulge and scoff,
To judge those worse than you,
To be afraid of life and death,
To bask in burning rays.
To avoid the Grave.
Is it normal to write this poem?
When abnormality is common place,
Who then is normal?
