I Guess So
When we were young,

Foolishly sheepish 
Life is a sea full of fish

Good times spent with you mindlessly 
Boy, I don't feel guilty for being your minion of troublesome crime...spent so playfully...

Lifeless
Not really fit for you.
Probably slipped under God’s nose and dropped here.
I bet He wonders “who’s this” when I pray.
I’m surely not on any “living human list”

My life’s smashing all over,
Is it even correct to...

Premium Member Ardor At Work
Looking at the mirror 
with good day’s pleasure
I see slothfulness’ glamor 
taunting with delight’s leisure
Yet ready to attack sense of honor
defying time-worth’s treasure
So defiant; not a generous donor 
offering gift that costs much pressure!

I challenge...

Premium Member The Unknown Figure
When we first met
Your light blinded my senses
I got too close
When your presence obliterated my fences

No boundaries with you
Your fragrance made me tired
As your promise of passion
Got my furnace all fired

House of Ants
Living walls composed of tiny living building blocks
Pinchers, claws, legs, holding on, gripping, intertwined
Compelled to embrace each other in this crawly house
Scratching on hardened shells, always adjusting, tightening
Ever responding to the constant hum deep within
Awaiting...

The Mystery of Work
Rotating on its axis, 
The earth labours
making the world go round
The planets also work,
As they revolve, 
around the sun
The solar system is working,
With the burden of all things

Ants work day and night
To erect hardened anthills
Only...

Yet; you lack faith in me...

Idleness

He basked under the sun
He lived a life of going to-do
And died with nothing done

The spring well and root of all vice
The canker of the mind
An appendix to nobility
The only refuge...

How Long Wilt Thou
How long wilt thou sleep 
and slumber, O
sluggard?
When wilth thou arise from 
thy yearn and
yawning yard?
Yet a little sleep, a little 
slowing down to
slumber,
so shall the poverty come 
like a
crushed Cucumber.

How long wilt thou bark...

what to him is found pleasing.
Opportunities come and go 
without any attempt at seizing.

who doesn’t think past today.

Premium Member Learning From the Ants
Ants exemplify diligence
With their labor-propped persistence 
Smiting attacking indolence
Amidst united resilience… 

They don’t starve when there’s pestilence
Since they work against virulence
Warning laziness’ insistence
To flee from crises’ prevalence…

Learning from insects’ competence
Rebukes me of my negligence
I confess...

Its immunity with the victim somewhere
In a world that flashes its sharpened sword
