Long Desiderata Poems

The gavel slammed its judgement down
On my impassioned plea,
Doomed to run-on sentences
Served concurrently.
My term began an infinite jest,
Time after time, time without rest.
On and on, again and again,
Ad infinitum, days without end.
Illicit contraband stashed in...

It’s so difficult, too ungraspable,
poetry can only mimic with deaf words.

The beginning:
our turning earth gently rises 
    from the rim of the unseen.
Notes and tones spellbind 
with intimations and murmurs.

Then a brow-beating...

(on the basis of Max Ehrmann’s Desiderata)

flickering across four million years,
whose light imprints itself
upon the canvas backdrop
of a feckless, barely cohesive Infinity,

the matter of man,...

All the praises you pick along the streets
Go confirm before a new-bought mirror,
And if those rare glories you all find true
Then know she’s near that beauty shearer.

Who’s time, the unerring author of loss and decay.

I slipped on a teardrop and landed upright, 
With no tigers or werewolves to scare me, 
In the long silent night so salient and tight, 
Where there was no hunger and travesty.

Desiderata mounted as a...

My mind traveled in Casablanca 
to witness a tale of love. 
Heart that yearns, desiderata,  
pleads to heaven up above.

Quench the drought of this crave,

Her dereliction,as my better half,of supporting my strides,worry's me.

Not fulfilling her desiderata of comfort,sinks my ego below the sand,drags my dreams against the sylvan...

My life, she did alter
And that, I wouldn’t falter.
So inspirational were her words all together,
As if she were a sister to Desiderata.
Of our difference , we tried to patch
But, alas!! there was always a latch.

Younger, brighter, and more luminous
Than before, in an evolutionary process of happiness
Knowing you, communicating with you
Just being there

Paradoxical life holds many juxtaposed nuances
Whereby the truth rests in between the parallel
Waves that flow out from the...

For, it's time to conduct your perfect song 
Make your beat grandiose for the whole world to see 
Make the whole world tremble in glee 

Plant some memories...
