`
Maple leaf wishes fall,
scattered about a silent lawn
framing pathways hidden beneath
blankets of decaying sorrow
I wander with eyes closed
for to see means to cry among these
shadows creeping in deep tones
as my thoughts once again fade into you
Northern borders point fingers
with emptiness as their focus for
where I sit, I sit alone wondering
does the thought of us still exist
And as the moon rises, it is no
longer a poem waiting to be written
but just a blurred reminder
of something once shared
Broken branches are now my bed,
though sleep is useless
for all I see is you and me
before waking to the reality that
happiness is for others,
dreams are merely fiction and
sometimes love is not enough
and never will be again

If there’s a dump truck and a car,
Car’s sure at greater risk by far.
A soldier thick headed
Who cannot think ahead,
To whom boundaries and borders bar,
Thinks, let Pak be the truck,
Let India’s car get struck,
So thought a general-five-star
To whom stars were gifted
For getting defeated--
How low things in that country are.

Note: Pakistan’s Field Martial unwittingly called India a shining Mercedes and Pakistan a dump truck. He was of course heavily trolled in his country and all over the world. How he gave India, a rival, such a compliment? This limerick guesses on his possible thick-headed reasoning.
The Calamity of Nepal part 1
Too fearful a tragedy
To be described in words
Heart wrenching cries, pierce the sky
And sadness in the form of tears
Dominates every face and every eye. 01
The descriptions of horrifying tragedy
From the mouth
Of those, who survived this horror story
Penetrate the mind and heart,
Deeper and deeper
Even of those who are luckily
Thousands of miles away
From Nepal and this tragic site
Created by the unfavorable
Winds of Nature. 02
It's time for entire world
To wipe the tears
Flowing from their eyes
And grief stricken faces.
These suffering millions and millions
Of these innocent men, women and children
And even kids
Who lost the lives of their most dear ones
In this calamity
Need our attention, Love and Care. 03
Those who survived
They are still standing and waiting
In never ending rows
Even for a bottle of clean water
And some bread and milk
For the little children and kids. 04
Still you can see and find
On the TV screen
Many many of them standing or waiting
In the open sky
Throughout the night
With the horror of the Earthquake
Still lurking on their faces and
In their eyes. 05
A peace loving small nation
Now stands on the threshold of debris
Of not only broken walls and structures
Roads and Temples
But on the borders
Of broken hopes and confidence.
The Earthquake has broken
Almost everything they were pride of. 06
O' God, please merciful and restore
At least, their hopes
And help them to overcome
This too terrible a crisis. 07

CONCLUDED IN PART 2....
Written: April 28, 2026
***************************
To those who weigh the world in chromatic chains, I say:
I am not a color—
not a cast, not a cloak,
not a fleeting film of oak.
I am the quiet quiddity beneath,
the breath before breath,
the ember behind the eyes.
I am not an appearance.
I am an essence—
the amaranthine spark,
the zoetic whisper stark
woven through the body’s brief art.
In my heart
lie folds of forgotten fire,
hollows of hidden hymns,
vaults of velvet silence
where old sorrows soften
and new mercies rise.
In my heart
a city of longings glows—
no red lines,
no barred borders —
no gates to guard the beloved.
All beloved ones dwell there,
all beloved ones,
their names like amber incense,
their laughter a lissome litany
lifting through luminous streets.
In my heart
An olive grove whispers—
It's glittery silver leaves,
with seraphic screams
glued to laden drinking,
from wells of ancient fruits.
In my heart.
The green homeland is blooming —
a haven of eternal thrive
a world where every soul
is seed and soil,
pilgrim and place,
origin and return.
Busses, cars, and airplanes, time flies so fast
minutes accelerates through the dial, small things lost to the past.
The world’s fragile treasures beg to be seen in a slower light,
simple things are fleeting indeed, when seen through the bug speckled glass.
The world is ever changing, clamoring to welcome defeat,
like a motorcycle running wild with the devil in the seat.
The earth spines through the cosmic winds, life is on a speeding course.
My view is slower, looking between the ears of a horse.
I see the madness and loss of freedom; the Bible reveals that’s the way it’ll go
when God is pushed away, rot takes his place, can’t be any clearer. I suppose.
They say, It’s better to close the eye and not see things so clear,
let it slip into shades of gray, like the shadow cast by a horse’s ear.
But what about the soldiers who fought the wars, so many paid the price.
What of a country that truants Christ’s blood and laughs at his sacrifice?
Concerning the little children, Jesus’s word rings clear
“He who harms one of these little ones there’s hell’s fire to fear.”
What goes into a man does not defile him but what comes out.
When the blind leads the blind, both fall into the ditch, that’s without doubt.
The downfall of a once blessed nation, like fools she leaves her borders porous.
I’m swaying away in ignorance, looking between the ears of a horse.
Romans 1:22 -Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
Romans1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do that which is not natural.
Now the last chime is past, this day, December the 21st is here
The world awaits the Mayan predictions, now we fear their seers
How many are waiting around like rabbits caught in the lights
Fearing to move from where they are, to disappear from sight
What's in your last thoughts before you are taken out
Mocking this day of reckoning, now you challenge it's doubt
They say your life flashes before you the moment before you die
To the wall you look forever, your family photo's, now come the cries
Your favourite song you hear today you will never hear again
Whilst one drifts into no where's abyss, listening will be in vain
Recalling past moments, past memories, now distant to us all
As we dared to ignore their calendar, humanity is now in fall
Me, well I just stare out the window, to await this marvel of time
Never fearing what's about to happen, maybe we've undermined
Hours of this day now pass, the media in ignorant dismiss
Ridiculing the seers of the Mayan, assuming the worlds still in bliss
As I turn to view the screen, footage from the Shuttle is shown
The Mariana Trench has risen, massive displacement of water shown
Waves of gigantic proportions are rising to thousands of feet
To many shores the Shuttle will capture, so many countries it will greet
The movement of her plates, are rupturing along their paths
Volcanoes in Indonesia are spewing out mountains of ash
The lowlands like Bangladesh are imploding onto chasms so deep
Borders that we knew existed are now in cataclysmic sweep
The height of Everest is falling, as K2 crashes to the ground
Deafening is her voice, as her catastrophe's in plenty abound
All aboard the Shuttle, on this 21st of December day
Witness the Mayan seers, whilst we scoffed, their words did say

Disappointed she bends on her knees
Ears shut, not to catch his brutal words anymore
Spilling her painful tears on the floor
Desperately prays for her dilemma to freeze!
Mind recollects.....
Soon after her wedding ceremony
Life started pedalling her emotions strangely
Darkness had swallowed her insanely;
And lamely egressed her love harmony.
He thwarted her from achieving goals
Surrendering to his orders,
She feared to cross borders
Neither sneaked out for short strolls.
Will she opt for a mutual divorce?
Unable to bear the impact of desertion
How long can she survive with no affection?
Unhealthy relationship might not reinforce;
She needs to sort out
As this is utter ridiculous
Being very meticulous
With a well planned route ..!
If we think our country can go on like this
We couldn’t be more wrong on any day
The enemy has already been empowered
They have infiltrated within our borders
Attacks prove what they are capable of doing
Weakened, divided Americans cannot manage this scenario
We fight the wars abroad, now it is here on our soil
Law enforcement cannot be expected to keep up with this
If we want lives saved and to protect our country
- The only way is for Americans to ‘unite’ -
We must do what is right for our country together
Not fighting with each other, not ignoring the facts
The time is now to come up with positive solutions
It is imperative to save Americans and our country

How My Cat Got To Vote
@FICTION WITH A MESSAGE@
I dressed up my cat, making her look, lovely and fat.
A long, blond, sexy wig and a big furry, leopard hat.
On a huge pillow in an expensive, wheel chair,she sat.
We went to where questions were not asked so we both
Clandestinely,went, with no integrity to vote!
That bright day, where there would be no Faux Pas.
I didn't care if we were breaking American voting law!
Come now, I loathe police, law and order! Peeuuw!
Grow up, let's fool them,all the country, let it fall and
Open all those once, life saving borders!
Let us never work, get SSI checks, we Medicare Marauders!
I just rolled Kitty in, no were questions asked!
I had my dead Mom's ID, if a question came to task.
Easy as can be ~to cheat on voting in the land of the free.
Blaming all in the USA who had any money,more than me!
Whoopee, I jumped with boundless, inner cheer,
How very proud~worldwide anarchists are here.
I gave Kitty fresh salmon, that very special night.
I was so proud of breaking voting rules, that very night.
V is for victory! Or, so I heard it said.
"Honesty and integrity are nothing” I proclaimed!
But something so terribly American in me, had me blush,beet red!
I lost my soul and integrity, for less liberty??
And I sold out to Communist mush,how they love me!

Love and friendship here on the Soup
The most awesome feeling ever
To talk with people all over the world
To me it's a miracle to savour
Poets are dreamers a well know fact
Imagining a world at peace
The first time in history to ever occur
We could dine together in feast
To live together, all nations united
No longer divided by borders
Speaking only of love and friendship
Enraptured in a new world order
When I finally pass on I've one request
Be reincarnated, with a grin
Come back as a popular night club singer
Or a doggie like Rin Tin Tin
I try my hardest to be serious... I really do!
