            Give Peace a Chance' ~

When It Counts

Not now
Too busy
Much to do
Lot on my plate
Later
Later
Later
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe next week
Maybe on the weekend
Maybe if I can find the time
Later
Later
Later
Got important things to do
Gotta concentrate
Gotta focus
Got too much going on
Later

Later
When there’s time
When I get a minute
When I can
When I have the energy
Later

Later
I’ll be there when it matters
When it’s important
When it counts
You can depend on me!

Set Me Free

Set me free to love again—
You’re holding me much too tight.
And if you won’t turn me loose,
I think I’ll lose my mind.

Because you don’t really love me,
But you hold me anyway.
You refuse to set me free—
Just something that you own.

I’ll try again later.
Some other day, perhaps.
Right now I’m much too tired,
And don’t feel all that

I Like The
AWARENESS,
You Know,
That We've
Made Out
Of Man...

Oh, Yeah,
Me Too...
And, He
Thinks He
KNOWS
EVERYTHING!

Yeah Yeah!
All The Time!

Man-Kind!

Hee-Hee...

Horribly Funny!

Yeah, It Is
FUNNY,
Though.

149 poems later, one can still trace you in my poems
I wrote you carefully in metaphors and words that scream
In the anagram that holds your lovely name
 
149 poems later I’m still stuck in this hedge maze life
I try to cut my wrist and let my tears speak the unspoken
I’ll try to cut the ones

Better Get Going

Better Get Going

I better get started
Time is running out
The sooner I get started
The better the poem should be
I’d have been better off starting earlier
But I am a procrastinator so I am never better at poetry
Maybe today I will be better off writing later
But then again, I probably won’t be better
I better hurry, my time is

45 years later

Monday
Exactly 45 years in Australia.
In bitter cold Melbourne Victoria.
Came here with few clothes in a tiny luggage.
Now 4 & a half decades later,
Collected lot of baggages.
Some are still good, others are quite damaged.
Was single with bright future.
Met friends here and there, but not dating till 7 years later.
Engaged and called off the wedding to the

Sixty Years Later

    America plagued by terror
      Murder and hate wherever you turn

    Country gone the way of Watts, ‘65

One New Year Later

The stores closed early. 
It snowed last year.
There’s not much else to it. 

A New Year. 
Resolutions. 
Like running in a field. 
We run slowly. 
It snows in the field. 

The stores open back up. 
The snow melts for now. 
I used to like January. 
I forgot how to like January. 

It had been a

THANK ME LATER

"Alfred, where did you say you had the keys?"
She would fondly inquire, her eyes scanning around. " I'm not sure, just look around i might have misplaced them"  he would reply, scratching his memory from his forehead. Surprisingly, they would share a faint laugh; it was an everyday ritual, a morning memory exercise. He

God,
Oft times in prayer I’ve aired my wants to thee,
and many times You’ve became my arbitrator.
Because You saw a future that I couldn’t see,
Your answer wasn’t yes or no, but perhaps later.

I know not what might lie in wait ahead,
and things I want are not always best for me.
God’s voice to

I don't know what boundaries are anymore 320 poems later, did I step in alone or were you there too,

I have a slip of memory,  
when you casually took the initiative and passed my water bottle to a friend of mine whom I couldn't reach.  
I shared a laugh for the first time with you.  
*For the first time with you again*  
*Because of you,* I laughed dozens of times.

Jazz a Little Later

Unforgettable the feelings of such right
Astonishing pleasant evening nights
Hollow are the darkest shadows
All that really ever matters
Is that when we’re gone,  so, so long
~
It won’t be long, for we’re settle
All that is better
When we leave it up to Him
If by chance I bid you a do
I’ll see you later in a
