Height and Might

I have been searching all my life for heaven in paradise but I just could not find it until my innate spirit reveals it. I searched from country to country over hills and valleys, mountain and plains; I walked until my feet were inflamed. But I could not find what my spirit reveals and what my heart feels.

I was carrying something with me, that was stronger than the energy that radiate in the sun and I had to find it before the day was done. It wasn’t within my reach, or I would have touched it, it wasn’t on the tree or my eyes would have behold it, but it was wrapped around my soul and destiny could not untangle  it.You  have to find a special code and make a hole in the mountain so that everyone can see what is waiting for  thee.

Morning of the sun come and join me, if you have some time  to spare, the army is going to march along the square. I have waited for this day to come, when I can go somewhere with someone special like you. I can feel your heart searching for me and  when we find each other, we shall be free. I see you everyday but on weekend you go away and I cannot tell where you go and my soul keep searching for something I don’t know, it keep searching  for something that I cannot see and this burden won’t go away from me so please make haste to come and rescue me.

Who can tell what is at the end of the road, who can tell
When the sun will come out and when the wretched courage of faith confronts you face to face on your first date, take a good look towards the hill and command your spirit to be still. I believe that the search will not be long, because my heart has indicted a wonderful song and when the time is right I will have right you by my side.

I knew there was something out there for me but I couldn’t tell if it was lodging at the bottom of sea and so I search for a diver to find it for me, and when I cast my lot, I almost fell off the rock, but the pebble fell into the ocean bed at the very spot where they wed and all of the sudden the cranes gather around to salute the crown. Height and might cannot break your will but courage and faith will break through the Iron Gate.

Premium Member Silliness Revisited


An army of mites reside in our lashes
With mouths and tiny claws
Along the road to human evolution
This was surely a major flaw

Astronauts strangely can't burp in space
What useless dribble is that
Felines can have over one hundred kittens
Now that's one pooped out cat

Some atheists put up Christmas trees
An identity crisis for sure
A cow can poop up to four tons a year
That's sure a big batch of manure

A woman once had sixty-nine children
Talk about barefoot and pregnant
With a dirty big bunch of kiddies like that
She could hold her own beauty pageant

Nose prints are used to identify dogs
Imagine if they used those for humans
Especially during the influenza season... yuk!
There'd be snot all over the policeman

The salary of Toto in “The Wizard Of Oz”
Was a hundred twenty dollars a week
That's a hundred and twenty dollars more than me
Since retiring, my new job is sleep

The tallest people in the world are the Dutch
Must duck underneath the windmills
While kissing, most tilt their head to the right
But there's some who rub noses still
fun

A New Hope Shown By Anna Hazare In India

For more details, please see my Blog dated 7th April 11 
'In India, a new Revolution is in the offing'




A New  Hope shown by Anna Hazare in India

A new torch is there in your hands,  dear Anna Hazare*,
A torch by which you are waking up the souls
Of millions and millions of our sleeping citizens.

To wake up and to remove the curses created by many of our
Corrupt bureaucrats and down to earth polluted politicians,
Such people inspire only directly or indirectly in my country 
Violence, crime, corruption, and greedy coalitions.

No words are sufficient to thank you, O soldier of Gandhi,
As by non-violence, only Gandhi wanted to change the society.

God has given you an opportunity to do something,  
O bold soldier
Several hundred thousands are standing with you and 
Millions would join your campaign for removing the curse of corruption,
Effecting our country and many countries of the world,
All these are the result of ever-increasing greed and misdeeds of many such bureaucrats and politicians,
Such people are ruining many countries of the world by their 
Ever increasing lustful temptations for money and greed for power and pelf.

In an era when the world is facing its new Renaissance of knowledge and awakening,
We salute your guts and efforts to bring a wind of change in my country.

Just keep walking with the torch of courage and hopes you have lighted,
As millions and millions more are waiting to join your efforts or 
Waiting to start a campaign like this in every country, 
As all the nations of the world are facing the tortures created by unworthy bureaucrats
and politicians.
Keep the torch high to light up the nation with a new light,
Our dear soldier Anna Hazare.

Premium Member I Always Say Yes

They came in wild, two little boys, excited to be here.
I am the school counselor, many try to get in.
I accept all who ask and try to every time they ask.
One has asked to have lunch with me several days in a row.

I always say okay, and today I said, “bring a friend”.
He has no sense of direction; he got lost trying to find the cafeteria.
I was surprised, but helpfully helped him find his friend.
They came back all bouncy and happy, excited to play with me.

I had to remind the main child to eat; he was enthusiastic!
He said, “we are wild and crazy guys”.
The other child laughed with glee about that.
They are going to be friends when they are twenty-one.

They are building a base.
I asked if this was an army base.
They thought this was hilarious.
A base to sit and watch tv and stuff.

I hated to see them go back to class.
They were having a delightful time.
I had never seen either of them smile this much.
I am grateful today that I always say yes, remembering why.

Babbling Brook or Dirty Harry

Michelin star cricketing cook…by hook or crook.. so canny..will find every nook and cranny…if you took a look at the record..score or text book ..won’t have forsook ..our dutiful..beautiful babbling Brook

Although the barmy army might suggest this almighty Blighty Test best..is more like an umami tsunami..

Bravissimo heave ho machismo..top grade…gung ho pyro Tyke tyro.. renegade hand grenade.. Bowlers afraid.. dismayed..slayed and flayed..somehow right now kapow..but also retrograde..

Boisterous babbling brook…a silky blade…gorged.. slices through a dappled glade..forged..handmade..the republic of Yorkshire conveyed and displayed

Stands so tall…enthrall with his gall.. like Jaiswal…towering…flowering overpowering..glowering…never cowering ... .just run showering..

Us all believers.. that larruping levers.. panache dashers rule…fielders does tease..
Shirty..become go fetch receivers..flash or is it dirty Harry..360 degrees wheeze with such ease..
What a way to play…with that hint and glint of Clint ..Please ..go on funk punk.. make my day

Not the most erudite but when it comes to timber tickles…willow wizardry….no luddite… will ignite… when things get dark and stark… Harry will be that spark..shining bright delight..having a lark out on the park..

Our sumptuous Aurora explorer…humming run sorcery scorer..tropic kaleidoscopic hues..rambunctious strumming the spectrum with his plectrum..woos queues with verdant voluptuous views

Many a sage would rage..even those on the other side of the Ribble.. wouldn’t quibble or contest..knows..the latest of those white rose heroes..is the Test best of the new age..

A pest..blessed with zest from the Yorky conquest treasure chest....won’t wain and never in vain…slain by Brook’s insane high octane rampage..gets us off the hook again…

Can’t cage..does entertain…on the ultimate stage..his disdain like heavy rain…no refuge from the deluge..babbling Brook subterfuge..floods the back page once again..

Premium Member Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Quietude

Samuel Taylor Coleridge: Quietude

I fail to coerce the pleasures
of the angular hushed cast that
repose near secret abundance,
an army of cloudy measures.

They dance serenely against less
modest logging near its silence
defense, encountering seizure
as my statuesque poise digress.

Overwhelmed, stood diminutive
in a soundless spread of leisure
as a mime wall layout treasures
of a speechless contributive. 

The shadowed wall rises and sinks,
as one tongue-tied formed forty winks,
the whole functionality blinks,
an inaudible show methinks.

Tis unbearable to witness,
pray tell my savior cometh to
provoke a feather to fall and 
perplexes an analysis.

I reveal my lamentation
of it intuitively stunned,
the fluffiness whisked e'er so soft
facing the wood-grained foundation.

Creating such a disturbance
of natural elements oft
space and time, that its sheer purpose
o'er the grain gave an appearance.

Twas newsworthy, the faintest hint,
proffered my initial imprint,
that the perceptiveness blueprint, 
was a micro-captive reprint.

Unexpected Saviors, Part I

I.
I am a quantum physicist,
and my name is Hamilton Kerr,
I am cursed with having knowledge
of what is going to occur.

Yes, I am talking time travel,
see I worked on a DARPA-team,
our job: to foresee the future,
a strategists ultimate dream.

We were considered long-shots,
given little chance to succeed,
spent three years in obscurity,
with vibrating strings we did weave.

But out team of obscure tech-heads
tried an approach none had before,
I can’t explain all the details,
but small success soon yielded more.

This led to a bigger budget,
and a large power supply,
then finally a prototype,
who volunteered to test it? I.

The army didn’t know of it,
they would’ve slowed down everything,
but we were so damn excited,
ready to go time travelling.

So they put me in the machine,
not sure when in time I would go,
but I knew I’d stay near this place
regardless of time’s quirky flow.

My vision seemed to flux oddly,
vomit came and went from my throat,
my balance shifted here and there,
I felt like I was on a boat.

Then it resolved, faded away,
I sound myself standing outside,
the sky was gray, the air dusty,
when I breathed it hurt my insides.

And it was cold, the sun blocked out,
something clearly had gone sideways,
I stood for a half-hour then
saw a figure coming my way.

At first I thought it was human,
but looking close, something seemed off,
the skin was a gun-metal gray,
and it looked quite rigid, not soft.

I stared at a humanoid robot,
very soon, it was at my side,
looked unblinking, seemed confused,
asked,”How is it you are alive?”

I was too stunned to answer then,
it cocked its head quizzically,
said,”Your body is giving off
a strange and unknown energy…”

He must have signaled his fellows,
a dozen more robots appeared,
as thunder cracked, one said to me,
“Come on, it’s not safe for you here.”

Now I finally could react,
said,”Did you take over the Earth?”
Then the robots somehow chuckled,
my question a big source of mirth.

One said,”We wouldn’t be trying
to save you from the storm to come,
besides, I’m rather curious
as to where you have come from...”

CONTINUES IN PART II.

Premium Member 1066 and All That

1066 and all that by 
Robert (Bob) Moore © 2015

King Harold and his army, marched all through the night
William the Bastard, was looking for a fight
He had landed close to Hastings, with at least 10000 men
He thought he was, King of England, so let him prove it then

The Battle fought at Stamford Bridge, had left Harolds army drained
but they had to march to Hastings, William had to be contained
The English formed up on a hill, and the arrows began their flight
One hit Harold in the eye, I think it was the right.

There’s been a few invaders, who have tried us on since then
but none have been successful, since that dark day when
William won the battle, but he didn’t win the war
The English still speak English, and will for ever more
war

Premium Member Artists The Avant Garde- Picaso's Guernica

Tie my hands,
 so I may not touch others 
with potent realities
Bind me from 
 what transpires about                                                                                     
Shackle my passions 
 of indignation’s 
Muzzle my voice 
 meant to bellow and not lilt
Blindfold me not see 
 with a painter’s eye I rely
The art you’ll recognize, 
 warscapes that captivate
Hinder me from
 perceiving what to navigate               
Shield me from
 poet’s stories begging to be told,
like the Buddha confined, 
b’fore escaping his privileged environs
Shroud what are already 
 squinting eyes kept from comprehension
Gagged and kept in ignorance 
 and with festering hypertensions
Cover my mouth for 
 I shall not speak what is called truth               
Crush my spirit in defeat, 
 trampled since my youth
What is left for me on this earth?
Taken a fin d’une époque,
 an  end  of  mine  mirth
with a madcap army closing in, 
and a harsh prison penance
a desperate gaiety leaves its efflorescence, 
crimson wall art stains 
no more shall be a poets words 
and nothing beautiful remains 
ergo focusing on the vanguard 
this rendered impotent,
when the rearguard deserts
Lavender lovers are fine 
they share a rapt audience,
tho we need to discuss 
harsher matters with more gravitas   
For this is chattel slavery, is it not?
Man enslaved like cattle, 
 let me speak out for my heart is worn 
My tears run dry, free me  
 for life has taught me that when 
there are many coincidences, they are not
Excessive serendipity harbors
 an urgent message
speak softly at me be aware 
I scream  loud from the top of my lungs
ask questions not to be in the dark, 
my spirit cast a monochromatic 
stark palette of black, white, and gray
keep  my spirit  free  respect me!
Jail me in the dept of dungeons 
 like the poets of yore,
Tho stone walls do not a prison 
make, nor iron bars a cage
War is this  fellow poets,
if you want to see a man 
returned from the dead
if you wish to confirm 
with your own eyes
that someone escaped the claws of death,
then I’m sorry to disappoint
