WHEN WATERED IN TRUE LOVE
WATER AND TRUE LOVE
Water has its ways,
It’s always disappearing
Always returning:
Evaporating to leave,
And condensing to return:-
You need not worry,
That love, you feel has dissolved,
If true, will return:
Like water, true love condenses
And rehydrates broken hearts:-

WHALES AND CHILDREN
Have you ever watched whales sleep? They have this wonderful adaptation.
They float effortlessly in the water…a kind of suspended animation.
Have you ever watched a baby sleep? If you ever have the chance to
you’ll see how in a dreamland they float effortlessly…a lot like whales do.
It seems we’re similar in a myriad of ways with...

InfractionsClass can leave you in a hurry,
bypass that final lavish taste.
Glass on asphalt left shattering,
alas it cannot be replaced.
Stay focused on keeping control,
survey your impulsive actions.
Convey a sense of decorum,
portray no further infractions....

The MoneySome folks just struggle in vain,
stress their nerve and wrack their brains,
wonder if we’re all insane,
when they see us create again.
They ask of visions deep inside,
a hidden genius in our mind,
what inspiration they can find,
and we just look at them and lie…
Because we do it for the money…
lots and lots of money….
yes all of us...

There is a lot of history and a little of youLiving off the glory your ancestors lived through
You need to go out and live your life for you.
Patriotic pride from an historical stride,
a war that was won before you were alive
the struggles for freedom
the heroes who died
born into freedom
you didn’t decide
History owes nothing but the offer of...

Our Restless GenZees Winds That Scatter and GatherThey are a generation that is disillusioned and disgruntled with the Status Quo
Ever they are faulting the old guard for running our most beloved country down
Most of them are very techno savvy and have the indicting info at their finger tips
Most of them have high aspirations which have not been dashed down by regrets
They differ...

When Peace Became a Memory
By Tanvir Mostafa
Where are our those days, where is our lost society?
What we behold right now—is it the proper system of community?
Does goodness prevail or exist in the mid of us really?
We find soundness of reason and justice only occasionally.
Many a poet says the world is the right place for love and peace,
But perhaps...

Rhythm of a River
river,
flow by my feet~
as waters of my mind
do overtake and wet the page
and droplets step-dance to create, backstage.
for manufactured, processed verse
could never pulse with life,
the rhythm of a
river.

A Time Of Being And Knowinga hush swept through the room
like a draft sliding under an old door
slowly it made its presence known
until our awareness was undeniable
our minds were frozen in a different state and time
a time of being and knowing

What Shall We DoLet each of us, from our heart,
do what we are led to do.
If the intent is for the good of ourselves,
others, or all of humanity,
it will be a good thing that each of us will do.

The World's Most Destructive Chemical ExperimentThe feel of a touch,
the sound of a cry,
the joy of hello,
the sorrow of
goodbye.
We entangle, we combine
we fall apart -
but in the end,
we get up and
we try, try, try,
to form a connection
that doesn't end in absence.
It all ends
for those already absent.
Be present,...

OUR LITTLE CORNERS
I know there are some people out there who in their hearts believe that…
in spite of all the evidence to the contrary our planet Earth…is flat!
When I hear this…I admit…I am astounded…
for I believe the scientists and my own eyes…when I say the Earth is rounded.
I say rounded because due to centrifugal force, gravity and...
