Premium Member Insipid

Bitter gall upsize
For folly you prize


Native of worry
In your sad story


Plunder with lame vice
In sorry surprise


Lean on naked woes
That cast painful shores


Touch of vile bad luck
Denial feels awestruck


You can do much more
If only you store


Come to terms here friend
Do make impact trend


Rise again and fight
Dare to do what's right


Earn then your free lunch
Work the number crunch


Each man must dare pay
For fare and for play


He who digs a pit
Must bear life's harsh hits


Dare to attend gall
With a wake-up call


Pain is a sure sign
To forge wise align


When darkness floods round
Find shelter most sound


He falters can rise
Heed truth to be wise


To deny the truth
Ply ignorant proof

Velvet Wings

Ignorant to passing time
Reality strikes its deafening chime
Unspoken words pass between
I and you, my darling queen

Lay your weary head to rest
With your arms across your chest
Now it's time to close your eyes
Whisper your final goodbyes

Let me go, we'll both be free
Cross the wasteland, past the sea
Find the path to heaven's light
Break away from endless night

Embracing tears of bitter pain
Falling lightly with the rain
Out of reach, I hear your song
Alone again, I sing along

Let me go, we'll both be free
Cross the wasteland, past the sea
Find the path to heaven's light
Break away from endless night

From the night. . .
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I never saw you so alive
So alive
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I'll never ever say goodbye
Never say goodbye

Life has ended, you have won
Death befriended, pain is gone
Fly away into the light
Crystal clear and shining bright
Close your eyes for final rest
Meeting among the blessed

Let me go, we'll both be free
Cross the wasteland, past the sea
Find the path to heaven's light
Break away from endless night

From the night. . .
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I never saw you so alive
So alive
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I'll never ever say goodbye
Never say goodbye

I let you go so you'll be free
Cross the path of darkened sea
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I can never say goodbye
Never say goodbye

Premium Member Die with me

Sometimes quotes are all that we leave  behind... quote by poet


I told them I'm tired   now
time stands still   a casual acquaintance  without breaths
death is not gracious    just an unfaithful companion
sorrowful      sombre soul       slumbers
bound to uncharted waters         I'm drowning..

loyal morning birds chant    mournful melodies on repeat
                       strumming to heartbeats
mishmash medley of images     reverberate repeatedly
regretful reminders 
                           leave an emptiness behind   
                                                                echoes float like ghosts..

I can hear a billion souls    but I'm deaf      free from those
bitter and remorseful   ignorant  uncultured 
                         without realisation of words unspoken
what could have been   should have been    but was not
                         it's too late  regret is an unfaithful belief
loved ones stare upon my grave       shivers and silence
anguish and grief   pain and relief
                            I'm paralysed  
                                               unable to rise 
to wipe their tears and fears..

craving to have one more chance to make amends
to express my emotions    to show greater devotion
it's too late     nothing is immortal         love we share only a memory
in times when my scent reappears        smile that I existed
                             love  with all of your heart..

I was never lost        never found
misunderstanding led to impassive pretending
I became too preoccupied   building walls
                                        they failed to overcome and conquer
                            yet I was no fortress..

legacies left behind    reveal with time
words written    words unwritten     surreptitious or controversial
unimportant for remembrance   die with me
                           maybe grim reaper will listen...

On a Second Thought

on a second thought
sometimes I wish 
I was never here 
on a second thought
I was made to be here 

sometimes I want to fight
on a second thought
I think about it outcome
if it worth it 

sometimes I wish for 
what I need 
what I don't have 
and It was ment to be 
my right 
I grow anger in this thought but 
on a second thought 
I realise it could be 
better for my peace

sometimes we just 
need that second thought
 
sometimes I cry 
for the world 
but on a second thought
I realise we are the problem
of ourselves

sometimes we want 
what kills us quick
sometimes we run to 
our destruction so quick
sometimes we are too
ignorant to listen 
to the voice within
on a second thought 
remember wisdom is 
always and will ever be 
better than silver and gold

The Fruits of the Future

The fruits of the future 
Let the children grow 
Please let them live 
This kids are innocent 
They bear no harm to the world
They need our guidelines
They are not meant to be tortured
Please let them live 
Cos they are 
The fruits of the future

The fruits of the future 
Let the children grow 
Yes let them breath 
They have done nothing wrong 
To an ignorant world 
They deserve to be the best 
They oath to be
They are not the problem 
Of the world 
So why will they be locked down 
Just to protect what is not clear 
To mankind 
Some are oppressed
Some are better
Still they all are in an equal values
So I cry to the world 
Protect the kids 
Cos they are 
The fruits of the future.

Premium Member An Outcast

The digital world comes
And an old man seems to become
A social outcast
Using a telephone instead of a handphone
Using a typewriter instead of a computer
Writing a letter instead of an email
Reading newspaper instead of electronics news
Having posting service instead of express delivery
Using a cash purchase instead of an e-wallet
You can't say 
He is left behind in life
He is ignorant and careless
He isn't competitive
Actually he has his own world 
To follow and to cling to
He is born in a different world 
And lives there till now
He will change quickly
If the present world is happier, safer and more hopeful
But he just wonders
If the present world a paradise to live

Premium Member Music of Our Soul

Born free, we remain unbound, if we choose
Look now at mind body, without excuse
Endowed with senses five, mind and our heart
On an as is where is basis, thus start
Freedom and bliss, the purpose of our muse

We look around, at the world of transience
Feel helpless in fierce winds and turbulence
We would, if we could, be in centred calm
Ignorant to where lies, the healing balm
In despair silent, in void of silence

Having surrendered thoughts and senses five
Deep into cave of our heart, we do dive
Whereupon caressed by the joy current
Slowly awakens our love sentiment 
All nodes within, to music of soul jive

Our loving heart spacial and toroidal
Centre of form, viewed geometrical
Three chakras are below and three above
The Star of David; our loving peace dove
Dwelling within, behold Gods miracle

Suffice to mention, heart centre births bliss
Rapture in renewal, divine caress
As we align therein with our conscience 
Becoming love enabled in permanence 
Nestled in tranquil calm, nothing amiss

Oh hermit! Know that love alone is real
Heart lotus blooms, allowing us to feel
Gods presence within, as we be so breathed
Negate now, oh hermit, ego borne greed
Blissful compassion has boundless appeal

CHOICE 

I often wander what God must think, that of our world so corrupt and on the brink. I'm ashamed of our government or lack there of,  where once there was compassion,  there's no more brotherly love. 
How the state can take your child and tell you he's no longer yours, what gives them the right to let this occur? Its beyond incomprehensible how two people commit murder,  one is black,  one is white,  one gets 15 years, the other wont ever see daylight. How can we still be so ignorant and vain? Most people who are on the streets are just trying to maintain. It's hard to have hope when your constantly being judged and put down,  before you know it your the talk of the town. Some people like drama, at any cost. They don't think twice about what you lost. To blatantly lie and deceive,  a person of authority why wouldn't they believe?! All of the pain and heartache that we feel-how do we get over it? How do we heal? 
I understand that there is always someone worse off then you, you can only change yourself,  it's your decision to pull through. The demons inside don't have to win. If you dig deep enough you can find it within. The strength and the courage to get up everyday,  to move past all the wrong and dismay.  
Choose to be humble, choose to overcome.  Remember always where you came from.

Premium Member Ignorance Intolerance

I have zero tolerance for Ignorance
especially when it's prone to cause violence.
They who claim to see the forest for the trees
appear to be the ignorant moral majority.
That's why I'm off to live in the wilderness
where ignorance of your world for me will be totally bliss.
The rest of the world can then feel free to kill one another.
It won't make any difference to me one way or the other.
I'm no longer a part of humanity.
I'm a misfit. I don't belong here. To most, I'm the freak,
yet I seem to be the only one promoting harmony and peace.
Continue living with your ignorance in your comfortable homes.
I'll rough it in the wilderness blissfully ignorant and totally alone.
I'll stay out of your world and you best stay out of my world of tranquility
or I'll show you just how violent this pacifist can be.

Premium Member Ignorant Madness

Ignorant Madness

I thought initially and first my worst fear is fear of fear
that is too global though and I hold dear the fear quite near
misguided far on global planet humankind removed from sanity
with ignorance and fighting firing greed destruction vanity

This morning I woke up to UK Brexit xenophobia social exclusion
and am afraid of nationalism egotism and infused perfusion
of hatred mongering of warfare propaganda into mindless mind
when harmony and peace togetherness cohesion would be kind

Compassionate and loving sharing compromising stance solutions
on cooperation refuges disaster poverty are better contributions
to equal chances on the planet kindness love and loving kindness
rather than deluded independences of ‘us and othering’ blindness

My anxiety and fears stem from history crusading slaughter
with crosses skeletons marching fascists many poppy fields to water
On every TV screen we cannot fail to notice killing for no reason
bleeding hungry marginalized annihilation genocidal treason

I fear more wars on the horizon bloodshed fused insanity the maiming
of humans peoples nations countries dignity when inhumanity needs taming
First prize to fear of wars destroying Universe my children and what could be
so beautiful if we would feel could reason use some empathy and see…
