THE SECRET
Shh! The walls have ears; let them not hear you
Let no other ear hear this! Threatening warnings of my father
Compelled alliance with my father; concealing the truth from my mother
Sight of my mother’s ignorant face; pierces my heart for ever knowing what I can’t say
All for peaceful co-existence; infidelity of a careless father.
Silent whispers, hush sounds; the atmosphere seemed tense
The truth clung to my mouth like school kids shown the cane; I gave the lie
Incapacitated by destitution; circled in a transfixed indecision with quavering lips
Just sitting on the fence; eyes that saw the truth but went blind on it.
The remembrance; the ugly promise of sealed lips
Kleptomaniac tongue; always pouring lies with reasons
Eyes that said one thing but meant another; can’t betray itself
If this mouth ever opens to say the truth; ugly liquids will flow from the human lake.
You are guilty! Accusing anthem of his conscience
A reminder of how a truth from his tied tongue could have saved a life
Just only two ugly options to choose; the truth or the lie
Chose the favourable lest the unfavourable will make him the enemy
All for friendship sake; a secret only to the ears of the grave.

FAR THROUGH TIMES
Moving on
Moving far
Far from pain
Far from you
You pierced my heart
You tore apart
Apart it cry
Apart it bleed
Bleed profusely
Bleed until no more
More to forego
More to arise
Arise living life again
Arise laughing loud again
Again a blossom prime
Again a healthy rhyme
Rhyme magnets warmth
Rhyme striking hearts
Hearts of diamonds
Hearts of fire
Fire dance
Fire hope
Hope ablaze
Hope endless
Endless thoughts
Endless actions
Actions moving man
Actions moving souls
Souls light
Souls blessed
Blessed by love
Blessed of joy
Joy for the world
Joy to the world
World growth
World change
Change views
Change news
News now
News never
Never gets old
Never runs from battle
Battle everyday
Battle of all
All walks of life
All through times
Times writing history
Times with victory
History...
Times...

Dark clouds gathering
Dark is the blitz
Blitz with Donald or
Blitz alone
Alone in the dark
Alone without hope
Hope springs eternal
Hopelessly calling
Calling Gods forsaken
Calling to the void
Void the cheque
Avoid the next
Next four years
Next turn right
Right now it’s scary
Right is might
Might make four years
Might not
Not what I’d expected
Not sure what to say
Say can you see
Say it by tweet
Tweet to the world
Tweetle de dum
Dum dum dum
Dumb’s the new black
Black Friday today
Black Saturday tomorrow
Tomorrow we’ll see what
Tomorrow will bring
Bring not your poor
Bring on the Wall
Wall up the South
Wall up your mind
Mind not your manners
Mind over matter
Matters no to me
Material is my world
World’s my oyster
World’s getting warm
Warm warning’s out
Warm family ties
Ties together family
Ties of independence
Independence Kansas
Independence Declaration
Declaration to the people
Declaration Donald
Donald’s Great America
Donald to bless
Bless
America
Watch the lights
Watch the circus
Circus of dreams
Circus of dream’s illusions
Illusions etched in the mind
Illusions from false grandeur
Grandeur bites reality
Grandeur wields puppets
Puppets of hardened men
Puppets clutched unto ropes
Ropes thick as curtains
Ropes opening dark theaters
Theaters for crowds lonely
Theaters booming
Booming under walls
Booming down on grim faces
Faces acting joyful
Faces with masks
Masks for sunken tears
Masks for rich donors
Donors in need
Donors in shadows lost
Lost among hours farce
Lost through bottomless time
Time a vagrant
Time grating a heart
Heart colder than rock
Heart numb to love
Love that is endearing
Love that can touch
Touch a moon beneath the rain
Touch an air of laughter
Laughter down from the belly
Laughter from a special one
One who gives openly
One who delights in wonder
Wonder of new journeys
Wonder of sorrow
Sorrow lifting faith
Sorrow healing bleak nights
Nights without masquerades
Nights without dead flowers
Flowers naturally awake
Flowers aflame
Aflame and not below weeds
Aflame with life
Life spilling breath that abides
Life drifting with its god
God...
Abides..

Unparalleled power
Unparalleled opportunity
Opportunity of a lifetime
Opportunity to dream a dream
Dream that isn't utopian
Dream of a peaceful world
World of yours and mine
World devoid of hate
Hate for hate's sake
Hate engendered by ignorance
Ignorance by fools
Ignorance so tragic
Tragic stupidity
Tragic mess seeping deep
Deep inside the core of the soul
Deep in our hearts
Hearts that incessantly bleed
Hearts that inexhaustibly weep
Weep a river
Weep a floodgate of tears
Tears that can't be stopped
Tears that can't be hidden
Hidden for long
Hidden behind a veil
Veil of unfathomable secrecy
Veil concealing a flurry of emotions
Emotions that flow like a stream
Emotions so visceral
Visceral fears
Visceral pain
Pain no medicine could ever dull
Pain with white-hot intensity
Intensity so searing
Intensity so overwhelming
Overwhelming sense of unease
Overwhelming power
Power to corrupt
Power to entrap
Entrap anyone
Entrap me in various ways
Ways uncountable
Ways destructive to us all
All of humanity
All who live and breathe
Breathe air and life
Breathe fire and passion
Passion to fight fire with fire
Passion to fight for a change
Change!
Fire!

Landscape lost in the past
Landscape of my memory
Memory reflects time ingrained in
Memory of twilight gleam
Gleam that swathed the horizon
Gleam that wrapped the blue hills
Hills rolled down to the plains
Hills carved a valley for stream
Stream cascaded joyfully downhill
Stream garlanded my hamlet
Hamlet of happy people
Hamlet under the sparkling sky
Sky of soaring songbirds
Sky that caressed my kites
Kites I’d flown with exuberance
Kites played hide and seek with cloud
Cloud drifted in the indigo sky
Cloud made shifting shadows
Shadows on verdant meadow
Shadows of nebulous shape
Shape of the opposites
Shape of shade and light
Light of slant sunbeams
Light created convoluted pattern
Pattern rippled in stream water
Pattern formed around my paper boats
Boats I sailed in curling current
Boats carried my dreams
Dreams of distant fantasy land
Dreams of the mariner mind
Mind of infantile motif
Mind now sunk in tide of time
Time flows in memory valley
Time carries the uprooted life
Life walks the last mile
Life tinged by twilight trace
Trace back faint footprint trail
Trace the fading past
Past engulfed by obscurity
Past I want to retrieve
Retrieve from the dust pile of time
Retrieve the priceless pieces
Pieces scattered in memory lane
Pieces of my childhood
Childhood wrapped by oblivion mist
Childhood moments return at sunset
Sunset finds juvenile zeal reborn
Sunset splendor ushers the inner child
Child…
Reborn…
"Breathless, we flung us on a windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass."
- Rupert Brooke
Feel the difference
Feel you're breathless
Breathless enjoying beauty
Breathless emanating light
Light that's radiant
Light that's colourful
Colourful flowers
Colourful rainbow
Rainbow gives hope
Rainbow gives joy
Joy of heaven
Joy of faith
Faith in the Creator
Faith in His goodness
Goodness of Nature
Goodness of love
Love His creation
Love spreads ripples
Ripples all around
Ripples of happiness
Happiness of life
Happiness of mind
Mind thinks positively
Mind works wonders
Wonders and miracles
Wonders of confidence
Confidence in others
Confidence in yourself
Yourself can achieve
Yourself can dream
Dream of dance
Dream of ever after
Ever after is coming soon
Ever after with the Lord
Lord of mountains
Lord of the seas
Seas wave calmness
Seas wave peace
Peace amid turbulence
Peace and prosperity
Prosperity with blessedness
Prosperity of the soul
Soul sighs serenity
Soul-stirring music
Music of birds
Music uplifts senses
Senses find rejuvenation
Senses are exuberant
Exuberant...
Rejuvenation...

For Constance La France's ""B" Forms, 10 plus lines" contest
Painting pictures with your words,
Will you slay them with your tune,
Can you make them sing your melodies
To their unforgiving moon
Will you watch them leave their seats
Dancing solo on the floor,
Bid farewell unto the heartache
They keep behind their quiet door
Can you take them from their darkness
Share with them your star-filled night
Can you gift them sacred memories
That live long beyond tonight
Can you show them they are beautiful
Will your words be filled with grace
Do you understand the sorrow of
Those who feel they're out of place
Will you break through to the sadness
Could you empathise the plight
Of the lonely who then only
Fade away into their night
See I was once a songwriter
Broken just like you
As the eyes of blind indifference
Made me feel wretched and blue
I'll take my pen, and write again...
Dance on....
