Long Keep down Poems

Here I am waiting, 
Still waiting to cross over
Here I am waiting with hope in my hand
And listening to the people singing a new song
My heart is a little heavy 
And I am not happy...

Growing up 
We survived doing whatever it took 
Now life for the past two years has been a task 
Now you have to...

She’s moaning: (”She’s primed and ready. I’ll turn off the light.”) 
She’s groaning:  (“Off with her clothing and I’m in tonight!”)
She’s shrieking: (“Keep down the noise or the neighbors will hear!”)
Bed’s creaking: (“I hope...

I wish I had a funny bone
One that was my very own and not cloned
And so I asked God one fine night
When the lights were off and it was all very quiet

Great big mouths and bulging eyes

And always refuse to meet in the middle

They walk the halls, back and forth
And get themselves all out of...

Where the Rich and the poor, they co-exist
Each being is humane, and yet there are misfits
Eating Vada Pav(Read “Veg Patty Burger”), adds vitamins

Making money is now every...

Housewives peer from behind dirty windows
Catching signs of the scurrying nightlife
They know killing time is really a sin, 
Though they can be absolved by watching Ellen and her wife
Where you can rediscover the inner you
She’s...

First i say I'm sorry for what I've done
I've had nowhere to go, to hide, nowhere to run.
This isn't the first and certainly not my last
Hard times call for hard choices, to take or to...

chores to do before play.
Running barefoot in lawns that were lush,
the smell of fresh mown hay.

Hoeing the garden to keep down the weeds,
cooling off with the hose.
Bagging up the...

It did not make sense that they called her this at nineteen.
Still, she was the wisest one...

The hunter set off just before the gloaming
adjusting the straps of his high powered rifle
it was a long way to where the stag usually fed

Climbing high up the rugged...

Doesn’t matter what you say
Doesn’t matter what you do
It doesn’t discriminate
Not even against you

Keep playing games
Living life in the fast lane
You’ve been warned – better take heed
Don’t think it’s a lie, you better believe

It’s all...

In this dark corner
Of this dark room,
I sit in the shadows,
I sit in the doom.
I see a light,
A light right ove there,
I cannot reach it.
No longer its there.
In this large group,
Of people I love,
I feel...

Conundrum

In this sad world of pain and dark dismay;
Each sundry soul has his own price to pay.

For life's sweet favors we must pay the sum.
Both for today and all the days to come.

Winners and losers...

It’s not what you hear, but what you don’t.
It’s not what goes right, but it’s what won’t.

Youth are bored out of their minds with nothing to do

Zoning by micro-climates my
Yards' spaces, and then
Xeriscaping them to conserve
Water because of the drought, I can
Visualize neat straight furrows
(Under colorful vines
Trailing red, green, and purple grapes)
Saturated with various seedlings:
Radishes, squashes, sprouts, etc.
Quietly absorbing sunlight, and
Pushing...

Back then he said, "It's the right thing to do!"
He served his country with vigor and pride 
Fought in the jungle and watched his friend die
