I so enjoy, these blooms of May."
This maiden who boldly proclaimed
wished only for sweet azure sky
upon which white clouds could be framed
without knowing the reasons why.
Yet,...

The Cycle of Life
At birth, the first thing we do is cry.
Once we reach home, in the cradle we lie.
Then we get bored and give our legs a try.
As infants, it’s all about me and my.

Locked Within
Sound of sea is locked within seashell beached
Just lift a shell to your ear to hear sea sigh.
Morn is locked within dawns red sky horizon
Like flower bud bursts into daybreak.
Sap and sinew of living tree...

On the Spot
Never I can forget that day,
memories remain fresh, as if
it happened only yesterday.
I didn't expect you would open
up your mind with such lovely thought;
Flow of words was like a poem;
Tells me from life what...

Ways To Say I Love You

The French have it cut and dried
When they whisper je t'aime
You feel so good inside
The italians are no slouch
When its their turn to say

The Great Invisible
Did you suspect the quark, in the dark knit-work of matter?
Did you unravel the mysteries of the pyramids?
Did you guess the coral, seahorse and pearl, in the waters deep?
Did you identify the drowning children behind...

Make Jesus Your Guide
Make Jesus Your Guide
Written: by Miracle Man
11-1-2019
My life has been a road,
that has lead many places.
I’ve encountered speed bumps,
and seen anonymous faces.
I’ve faced some mountains,
with seemingly no descending side.
Often searching for answers,
finding nothing cut and...

Thoughts On the Evening News
To those who soak up the slanted slop from Fox
Isn’t it time you switched off your black box,
Or, changed to a channel espousing the facts--
All the things your "balanced TV News” surely lacks
I challenge you...

The Judge
The Judge
Accused and accuser, a battle for life,
Abused and abuser, a husband and wife,
Thieves and robbers, the unjust takers,
Pushers, druggies, and even drug makers,
Quickly I decide the fates of these,
The server of justice, respect me...

When all is said and done - my son
When all is done and said

Thought and Love
In the battle of thought and love
Of the mind and of the heart
Are they the same; like sand and mud?
Like ice and water are hand and glove?
Are maybe a lot further apart!
I have heard it...

The AI Conundrum
Should AI, devoid of human emotion,
Be used by artists for self-promotion?
To paint a picture or write a poem,
Creativity allows the mind to roam.
To dispassionately wax poetic,
Courtesy of things synthetic,
Removes the heart and soul from...

Coming Out of the Shadows
Somewhere in youth I strayed from truth.
And grew up to not have much couth.
The door bell rang the onus chime.
Snuck out the back to bide some time.
I wandered streets in every bar.
It's not a wonder...

Absurdity
Is it a new phenomenon,
Known to the world
Through Beckett and Camus?
Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegean.
Oedipus, Bhartrhari, Buddha—all,
Over a period of intense suffering,
Learnt to cope with it,
Each resorting to a different praxis.
King Dasaratha perhaps...

Exhortation On the Wings of Accusation

And her first walk a giant stride.

Checking, wisely, losing man's pride...

For lent ears to cut...
