Premium Member Dont Push Red Roses Aside

Don’t push red roses aside
nor the violets-blue guide.

It’s childhood honey sweet.
It’s a record player on repeat.

It’s a treasure, and when found
a mother feels thus crowned.

The message on printed cards -
cute drawings with regards.

It is the simplest compliment -
in latter years, a sacred document.

It’s the breeziest way a child conveys
their love on special holidays.

How To Deal

This is a short poem with a long message. A message as long as life itself. How we deal with our minds, our memories, our existence will affect how we feel. We cannot escape our reality; our life's experiences and memories will forever be a part of us.


Although you're different, you just don't care
doing what's right, even if the world will stare
maintaining your principles, this, to you is life
others try to upset you, but you're above strife

and you can deal......

You often try to do good, but it does not always come out that way
accepting the momentary setback, and the price you readily pay
looking at things differently, holding yourself to a higher standard
able to suffer alone, remaining silent even when you're slandered

because you can deal......

Unwilling to follow the norms, you recognize they often emanate from below
so you refuse to subscribe to society's whims, who is a friend and who is a foe
knowing every day is another test, and you wonder if you'll manage to get by
despite your good faith attempts, nevertheless, in the end things just go awry

but you try and deal......

Once again, you're left staring yourself in the mirror, wondering why you
then from somewhere deep down, you find the answer you already knew
a very real part of you, your inner conscience, does patiently wait for time
trusting all will be good, because you draw your strength from the sublime

you know this is real......

While cruising through life, you'll find your memories hold a secret, you begin to understand
the experiences you've experienced are not your own, because they've had a guiding hand 
so when memories ultimately return, receive them happily, they come by purposeful design
knowing all is Good, having been orchestrated by G-d alone, the sole architect of the Divine

The Real Deal......

the short poem

The short poem

There was a time when writing poetry 
was important to say something, using a few words
Long poems were frowned upon as a beginning
of a manuscript

He used to be a communist, as his mother was one
Communism, like unbridled capitalism, hates 
free speech, want a restriction on what to express
unless it is in favor of the regime
To be any good at isms, one needs passion and 
hatred against those who do not succumb to the norm
the standard set not to upset the powerful
He gets angry seeing injustices and says, but he is lucky
for him, he is too small to be noticed
he prefers to use irony, which is easier to get away 
with as those in power lack humor
He does not believe in ideology or creed for him 
it is hokum, a snare for the gullible 
Years have made him wary of governments of any
description because they tend to be led by people
who lacks a long view led by the intoxication of money and power

Premium Member Apple Pickin' Time

It is apple pickin' time in Georgia
Come get them while they're crisp and not quite ripe 
Bite into apple's delicious tartness
From the tree's garden of Eden a few swipe

Down where the apple blossoms in springtime
Many hearts flourish fulfilling life's fate
And red grapes produce a fine wine sometimes
The apple-grape wine gets sweet with a wait

Come gather in the harvest~apples golden
Clip some stems of the grape chosen
Mix the two in baskets enjoy their delight
Harvest two fruits with their sweet juice swollen

It is apple pickin' time in Georgia
Come get them while they're crisp and not quite ripe
Bite into apple's delicious tartness
From the tree's garden of Eden a few swipe

This short poem like fine apple-grape wine
Will  become better if allowed to age
Then drink a swig while on roast chicken dine
If I did this one right, well just you gauge

Premium Member Honeymoon Haven

A magnificent horse gallops down the cobblestone street.
                                                                                   A waterfall -

shimmers on their right, with splendiferous colors of a
                                                                                      rainbow wall...

The chivalrous young man encircles her innocent beauty, he
                                                                                            holds their

reins.  He controls each sight and sound. They glimpse their
                                                                                                fair share
                                                                                                     
of mountain peaks and wild flowers. Her eyes dazzle
                                                                                       of adventure.

Her modern knight charms the day and night, no fear to
                                                                                     venture

off the breathless path.  Somehow she trusts,
                                                                                tirelessly,

the sinews of this sublime creature, his mane
                                                                           peerlessly,

whipping in the wild wind, speeding with four limbs
                                                                               towards their haven.

Arrival at the honeymoon sight, where her tender heart thus
                                                                                               gave in,

with a ravenous kiss, sensuous show of voluptuous bliss,
                                                                                            entirely

his. This precious moment held in their minds
                                                                        and wholeheartedly!

Chemically Organized Victorian Congratulations

Good friend, fear thee not! For chemical bliss,
Awaits in their smile, their laughter, their kiss …
Your future? Intoxicating. There is naught you shall miss.

You spent too much time to set this day right, to organize
But why will you not listen to me and realize...
Your friend is here to womanize!!

Now let us not pretend this short poem is a Victorian
Nor act as if I am a poet, prophet or historian;
But my friend, more than one emperor was betrayed by his praetorian.

Mind you not the fell dagger plunged deep in your back,
Or the guile and the wit of the siren attack.
Proceed as you must. Haste now! No alack!

The deserted heart has shrouded 
In the stream of overflowing tears. 03

Dooba hai hradaya marusthal
Aansoon nad umad rahaa hai.

that
feeling
of sheer warmth
engendered by
your loving embrace traps me in orbit.
It catapults me to the moon, my sweet!
Your raging fire
of passion

A Peace of Wisdom

This is a short poem about Cause and Effect. The value of Peace is Existence.


Peace and serenity, and the waves of the sea
the dreams of happiness that would never flee
both the sun and moon, burning ever so bright
all the worries in the world, they all take flight 

Music raises my hope, dulling the pain I endure
driving my depression away, noise with a cure
a body shakes with rhythm, as joy takes control 
my lips then move, to words uttered by my soul

A soul clings to You, who fashioned me that day
You alone gave me life, and to You alone I pray
remove this evil among us, and open our eyes
to pursue wisdom, while shielding us from lies

Your balanced world, putting Man at its very center
to withstand life's tests, he needs a devoted mentor
hoping we choose wisely, your wisdom over desire
to avoid that terrible fate, ending with pain and fire

Acquiring a wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong
having patience for others, although different, we all belong
mankind, formed from earth, has a divine eternal obligation 
finding peace in wisdom, life exists only through cooperation

The Creator of heaven, of earth, and of all living things
acknowledging our shortcomings, we don't have wings
kindness is your sword, and Truth, the only seal you use
peace as the foundation, and each other never to abuse

As those bright Heavenly lights flicker, earthly bulbs prepare to go out
directing a new existence to begin, a renewed world is about to sprout
much work remains in tending to the garden, our hearts need attention
all that's left is to open our eyes, needing to make that final connection
