In halls of learning, we gather round,
Peers united, common ground is found.
Shared laughter echoes, memories made,
Together we grow, our bonds are displayed.
With every step, we learn and share,
Supporting each other, without a care.
In times of need, they lend a hand,
A friendly nudge, to help us stand.
Through trials and tribulations, we face,
Peers by our side, a steady pace.
Their smiles and cheers, a guiding light,
Illuminate our path, through darkest night.
In peer groups, we find our place,
A sense of belonging, a warm, safe space.
Where we can be ourselves, wild and free,
And grow into the best version of me.
Warm blooded creatures, yet as the heat of the day retreats, we crave warmth to cosset our souls.
While the moon controls the tides, human flesh being mostly water, becomes ensnared in the heavenly body’s power.
Elements of nature, diametrically opposed yet both compel us in equal measure.
Fire dances, alive, organic, consuming its prey. No two sparks ever behave as twins, always the rogue, the lone wolf. Each lick out for its own gains, taking with it the fuel of life and energy as burnt a thousand suns before.
Water moves en mass, as one, yet each droplet surging alone but toward its one kind.
As a murmuration of birds on the wing, Independant yet intrinsically linked. Each individual yet the whole depends on it.
Still despite all this, I cannot truly explain why our very human nature draws us, lures us, demands of us to take notice, when we see fire or water, these two opposing forces. These two spirits which compete for space though in combination cause steam to rise, obsidian to form and planets to become barren rocks devoid of both. Still, when faced with these two elements we always find time to stop and stare.
What Love Is
Love’s real meaning and its truest nature are at the
base of how one may choose to interact with others.
Love, in and of itself, among the panoply of human
emotions is alluring, compelling, and all-powerful.
Love’s emotive force excites one’s inner-feelings and
can tug at one’s heart strings in moments of passion.
Love has the mysterious ability to touch both the heart
and soul of two people as they meet by destiny’s hand.
Love is palpable and spiritual and it can emote happiness,
compassion, and even a sadness among all human beings.
Love’s spiritual approach helps to bring each of us closer
to Almighty God in realizing our own cosmic role on Earth.

Spiritualists interact
My Dad's Colloquium was arranged at best.
Also, Memorial Hall to inaugurate on his honor
Everything was scheduled and program well set.
I was unaware: Am I entitled to speak in seminar?
I was feeling emotive urge to speak on this occasion.
I was the first to write about his life and works when he was alive.
How could I keep silent on his special recognition?
I volunteered to go for extempore finding no other alternative.
I ventured and spoke so well, I myself was astonished.
Soul of Dad interacted with mine as if I voiced messages of Dad.
Divine tie between me and Dad was instantly established.
Since forty years the facts I forgot, miraculously flashed.
I recollected, I worked shortly in Dad’s Cloud Chamber.
I felt proud enchanted revealing information to rewind,
to see myself as the only one present in the seminar
directly associated with Dad’s work: I was redefined.

His path has crossed mine several times
He can even read my minds
I tell you never get too close
He can also hear your cries
The love had has burnt a while
The devil barley sees a smile
The demon follows you till you death
He seeks your blood on kitchen tiles
Be aware his handsome charm
He only wants to do you harm
You came to close to his burning heart
You were killed with raised alarm
