The most admirable quality
That humans possess
Is the strength to forgive and forget
Let bygones be bygones
And get on with your life
It's something you'll never regret
If you don't, it will haunt you
Causing anguish and pain
Till you come to terms with the strife
It will eat at your psyche
You'll forever be tortured
The thoughts will cut like a knife
So call up this person
Invite them to lunch
And tell them it's another new day
Let them know you forgive
And still, want their friendship
The strength of your bond will prevail
There are more worthy qualities
That humans possess
That form us and define who we are
But none so cleansing
And good for the soul
Our most admirable quality by far

Are you as you want it?
First of all
You have to visualize say it out loud
What you want
Whether what you want to do
What you want to take place
How do you want it to be
for you - glorious you
For starter
I want to cook
Do I cook right now?
No - so it would be a milestone for me
An effort
What else do I want?
I want to be financially stable - self sufficient
Debt free
How do I get there?
Do I just sit here and it will happen?
No
I have to make an effort
Of not eating out too much
Of spending too much
Of watching to see where my money goes
And make an effort of keeping it in my bank
It does not have two legs
But it does have two hands - mine
And it’s gone - just like that
I have to think - it’s okay
It can stay there
And not having me feel like I have to spend it
Does anyone have a problem like mine?
No one?
Lol it’s okay
Mine and I am dealing with it
I want to treat people nicer
And not too set in my way
And not be emotionally responsive
Of their needs - and too absorbed in mine
Things do go two ways
Your ways and the other person’s
Both have to be satisfied
Can you ensure that?
Asking myself lol
I want to be socially responsive
It means making more friends and keeping them
Instead of letting go and let it drift apart
Away from me and long gone
before I notice it
Let bygones be bygones
Today is a new day
Promise?
Recently I haven’t had my mind in the right set,
had no relief from the anger and grief,
a time to forget full of regret,
swept me down like the Barrier Reef.
It hurts not knowing where I belong,
let bygones be bygones but bygones bite on,
exerting and showing me I’m in the wrong,
but why would I try to supply hate all along.
You see I had a dream of white friends having a black baby,
it was meant to be black that’s how they’re born,
funny innocent confusion made the dream crazy,
they’re expecting so I didn’t tell them in the morn.
I told someone else, whom told them, making them mad,
they didn’t understand this stupid dream I'd had,
took it like I want their situation to turn bad,
and messaged my mum, telling her, I'd made them sad.
My mum not me, my friends they be,
told her, tell me, stop behaving horribly,
so I just went and deleted them all,
they’d speak to me if they were my friends after all.
My mum carried on messaging, I was accused of being a liar,
note, a week had gone by and it was out of mind,
they accused me of taking the piss and acting slyer,
but, I hadn’t thought of them, I did none of the kind.
And though I didn’t tell lies I did apologise,
I’ll make allowances cus she's pregnant, but she went to my mum.
I’m insulted and confused as to how I'm seen in their eyes,
so for now, I try to forget, but think, is this the final outcome?
Friends for years, close ones too,
like a family was our little crew,
I must be seen different by you,
now weeks later, we still haven’t spoke, so what can I do.
What can I do,
but,
forget and remember you.
The past, when past is gone,
No amount of wishful thinking will bring it back,
In life, we must move on,
No use crying over memories and flashbacks;
Life is like a flower,
It can be enjoyed as long as it is present,
For soon it will wither,
Then nothing will remain except its fading scent;
Life's like a glass tumbler,
The broken pieces cannot be joined, once shattered,
We mustn't be a grumbler,
Rather, let go of the past and live unfettered;
Life’s like river water,
Once it goes and meets the sea, it does not turn back,
Leave the past to totter,
And reach forth to the future in this fast race track;
As life new attires dons,
Let’s face it with joy and try them on with gladness,
Let bygones be bygones,
Let’s leave behind the past, regrets, and all sadness.

Inspired by Harivansh Rai Bachchan's "Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi"
(a poem in Hindi, the national language of India)
For Malabika Ray Choudhury's "Inspired by a Translation" contest
My friend, put a pause on throwing punches.
There's no use holding on to petty grudges.
It's much easier to breathe with feuds ended.
Always accept an olive branch, if extended.
It doesn't matter the cause of dissension;
Douse the scorching flame of contention.
Forget who threw the poison dart first.
Avoid fueling the fire with an outburst.
Give who wronged you chance to make amends.
No sir, you two don't have to become friends.
Don't worry yourself with friendship plans.
You don't even have to meet or shake hands.
Toss your ego aside and be the bigger person;
Resolve brewing hostilities lest they worsen
And simply just let bygones be bygones.
They are only pros to doing so, no cons.
Three coins tossed at once; each coin is given a value of 2 or 3, depending upon whether it is tails or heads, respectively. Six such tosses make the hexagram. Some fortune-tellers use an empty tortoise shell to shake the coins in before throwing them on a dish or plate.
A Sonnet Lipo-gram No Letter A
Flyby moments of springtime, sweet impress
deeply rooted in the feel of the skin
Discern the hour of its serville prowess
then bloom with kindrid spirit, be its twin
Flowering florets with midget whole buds
sendings shivers down your comfy dorsum
Sleep inside this hothouse with silent thud
then rouse gently, like the weightless vellum
Time for betterment is here, find your pound
weigh it in, turn the compost of your plot
Let bygones be bygones, cover the grounds
with redress, then grow your own blessed lot
Hold the tortoise shell, put three coins in it,
then consult I Ching, the way you see fit.

Slumbered Spell
Across the land, the night grows cold.
In my dreams are you, I cannot have foretold.
The moon looks down watching over you and I.
The wind whispers sweet nothings, of our lullabies.
Feeling contentment, I gaze up into the stars...
One winks, as I continue writing in my memoir.
River under the bridge, splashing up to my feet.
As I sit on the edge, savoring this secretive retreat.
I fall into a peaceful and slumbered spell.
Casting all doubts, until the rain began to fell.
The thunder rumbles, lighting awaits its queue
Raindrops mesh with tear drops, over missing you.
Morning breaks, lazily, the sun yawns.
Yesterday, concedes let bygones be bygones.
A brand new dawn awakes, begining anew.
Today, will be wonderful, I get to see you.
