At the risk of appearing repetitive
This poem is again about love
What else in life is all encompassing
It's at the core of all that we do
More important than anything else by far
However love is not always part of the equation
Nations battle for land and power
Love is furthest from their evil minds
They must have an extra special gene
That doesn't exist in normal well-adjusted people
Perhaps an unhappy loveless childhood
Unhappy parents, setting a bad example
No love, lack of caring, no commitment
When those are not part of one's upbringing
People sometimes can become jaded
And think conflict is a natural part of life
I'm surely not making excuses for deviant behaviour
At some point in one's life
We all reach a point when reality overtakes
And loving, law abiding forces, rule our lives
However there are still extreme cases
And that's when these forces become so strong
That evil acts seem quite natural
They see these as normal occurrences in life
Just like the rising and setting of the sun
But love still remains the most potent force
At the risk of appearing repetitive
The love we have at our disposal
Gives us a reason to try to be the best
Most loving person, we can be

After rainy season appears autumn
which is partly cloudy.
Sky of normal life mostly shows partly cloudy —
extreme cases occur darkened by cloud
Life is rough and tough
with daily struggle :
Rare chance to win , but fair chance to lose.
Path of life runs uneven, even dark cloud chase
always, though there is silver lining in every cloud,
also thunderbolts roar loud.
Sky of love is also partly cloudy always,
even the couple to enjoy amour
in glamour..
Joy of rainbow glistens
yet possessiveness embowers
making atmosphere partly cloudy.
Happiness can't run without break,
may be partly cloudy by grief
Truth is always ruthless,
yet may be partly cloudy by lies.
Bright sunny day to be shadowed
turning partly cloudy,
that's quite natural-
An inevitable happenstance.
What drives me to post two poems a day
Little green men dancing the plié?
Or maybe a monster with one evil eye?
Enormous dragons, oversized flies?
Whatever the subject, I never need fret
The ideas keep flowing, on that you can bet
Like having a baby or baking a pie
It comes quite natural for some of us guys!
What could it be, is it fortune or fame?
Or could it just be, the thrill of the game
To challenge one's psyche to write every day
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes nay!
Got some advice for newbies among us
Two poems a day is by no means a must
It's a goal to shoot at in the days up ahead
But don't lose sleep, it's nothing to dread!

THE SILENT LOVER
I knew well, you fell in love with me
Your eyes reflected ardent ardor
But it seemed blunt, not sparkling splendor.
Felt pity yet no weakness.
You were not the right person
Most ordinary version,
not my Mr. Perfect with desired intellect.
My blooming youth with promising present
and aspiring future was the prime truth.
Your eagerness to come close seemed ridiculous to me.
It was oblivious not to reciprocate!
On long journey of life, such trivial happenstances may appear
quite natural, I did not indulge and chose my own way.
Time passed by.
Now still static old age lying supine
on burnt ashes of dynamic youth revealing ruthless truth.
Lamentation of losing your modest lavender love
secreted nectar of amorous flow oozing from abyss of my heart
yielding a pearl of dolor.
Now no way left to adore you with my pearly passion.

Third Place
'The One That Got Away' Contest by Silent One
Eyes filled with pride, he watched with love
He whispered "Thanks" to God above.
Walked slowly down the aisle his bride
He watched with love, eyes filled with pride.
So beautiful her wedding gown
The aisle his bride walked slowly down.
With elegance so natural
Her wedding gown so beautiful.
With vows well planned, both took their stance
Quite natural with elegance.
Eyes for each other, hand in hand
Both took their stance with vows well planned.
Married now much to discover
Hand in hand, eyes for each other.
With wedding rings they sealed each vow
Much to discover, married now.
I'm usually quite upbeat in all my poetry
So why should this one be any different
Going to make an attempt to come down off my cloud
And stop pretending everybody loves everybody
I'm certainly aware of the ills of the world
These constant flareups that have been happening
Since the very dawn of civilization
As a member of the human race
I'm certainly not proud of our record
Of constant conflict somewhere in this world of ours
They say us guys are very territorial
If that's the case, we'll never be able to coexist
With people of different colour, language and customs
We are bound to clash
It's quite natural to have differences
But why do these differences have to lead to war
Why can't we sit down as civilized people
And solve our differences
We humans are a combative bunch at the best of times
But the average person on the street
Doesn't want war, just wants to live life in peace
Provide for their family and go about their business
All we want is to be happy
Is that too much to ask?

NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

Have you noticed
When kiddies play
They play with guns of war
They learn from us
What seems to be
Really quite natural I'm sure
The future of
Our planet lies
In the hands of every child
Let's teach each soul
And guide them through
The perils with a smile
A positive take
On life it seems
Helps reach that distant goal
We don't need tools
Of war from now on
Just peace in every soul
So treasure our kids
And nurture them
To change the times ahead
And make this place
Much better than
The years of fear and dread
It can be done
If all of us
Just listen to our hearts
Let's forge a path
With kiddie's help
And make a brand new start!
NURTURE NATURE FOR FUTURE
Mother Nature providing food and shelter.
Nurture Nature for future to be better,
For progress of human civilization
with safe healthy living, control pollution.
Life must meet death, which is inevitable.
Species will last for ever: Not probable.
Global warming or cooling to come, normal.
Climate continues to change, quite natural.
A species may extinct or to transform.
Continuous process holding this norm.
Human species are not at all exception,
either to die or change on evolution.
At a stage of Red Giant, Sun will arrive.
Ocean water will boil, no life to survive.
Yet, it’s unwise to cripple Human Nation
carrying contamination or pollution.
