Wired mortal from the English Art
Banished from his home, spotted from a distance
Noble amongst scrawling African inscriptions
First veneration of mystical minds
Take a bow, take a bow.

Obliterating deliberate disregard 
From interrupters of our histories, 
With trophies,...

You say
you need,
we need,
to regain control.

Control to overwhelm me?

Or control together
discussed and planned
and then implemented
as a partnership
or team?

And, later, re-evaluated
for meeting win/win GoldRule Standards
co-governing healthy democracies
of resilient
non-violent communication,
self/other internal
and external mediation
open to seasonally appropriate climates

As we departed for a long journey,
My heart punned with jocundity,

Had heard a lot about its beauty,
But didn’t know, will ‘be welcomed so haughtily,

As I propelled on non-native soil,
It seemed so preposterously royal,

Still there, ah...

Here in my midst
I find a friend
From long ago


A lovely book 
From way back when
I was twenty-one


Time has aged well
This book and I
Going round the sun

I dedicate myself to thee,
0 Lord, my God, this work I undertake
Alone in thy great name, and for thy sake.
In ministering to suffering I would learn
The sympathy that in...

Silently sits on the fence 
Holding his tongue tight 
And see the fun when tasteless
 Jokes being cracked upon 
The poor, weak...

Most poets are led by their Muse-
rely on its aptness to rhyme,
and image fine, word-painted scenes
with ease and finesse all the time.

For twenty-four-seven, Muse serves
no matter the hour- day or night;
there, firm by our sides,...

Many of us do search for the truth of God
We search for him everywhere, in temples and churches
We even try to make Him come to us by chanting more than one bead
Readily we shall follow...

You are an amazing shining star
Your dedication and dreaming will carry you far
What is it about you? You don't know why?
It's how the sun reflects and twinkles in your chestnut eyes
It's how your lips slightly...

Desire and lust
Spread everywhere
As if sand of a desert.

Climbing up a slippery tree
A naughty boy lucks green guavas.

Standing before a mirror
An impotent colors his white hair
To feel false taste of fugitive youth.

With anxiety, the hungry...

While losing strength in faked renown,
that some lost treason I could own
then dissipate, as if my prone
were self existing, ne'er be sown!

For thy concern in mine seems lone,
as vestige gathers for a throne
and when its...
