Premium Member How Many Phases

Confronted with this year's grim virus scare
our spring was lost to common joys we share-
new hope with summer rays?

But summer came, and much remained the same;
death numbers down, but normal, cannot claim-
perhaps by autumn's blaze?

Now heading there- though, little progress made;
most schools and other start-backs, still delayed-
will wintertime amaze?

How many phases must we end and start;
or will poor headway keep our worlds apart-
will then- next spring rephrase?

The cycle of this virus is unknown;
into the realm of guesses, we are thrown-
with this pandemic craze.

Told wearing masks could be for many years;
not good to hear, as true hope disappears.
God, please send brighter days.

Premium Member A Hand To Hold

Someone out there is in need of a hand to hold,
a kind word, perhaps a blanket against the cold:
it might even be you.

We live in a world of indifference and greed,
and though we hear cries of anguish, no one pays heed:
you know that to be true.

We believe we are sentient beings with a soul,
and that our spiritual conscience makes us whole:
at least, it's supposed to.

I've been taught the right words to glorify God's love:
but reality belies, heaven lies above;
nothing's changed: nothing's new.

When I end my stay on this plane of existence
I will die frustrated, with little resistance:
and bid this life adieu.

It was birds Yes Ducks !, Mallards no less
Flown down from Alberta that made this great mess !
I tried to stop them though I shivered in fear
They flew right on past me and landed right here.

They surrounded your cupcakes like an army brigade
and attacked them they did not a one could be saved !
Frosting was flying from the mauls of their beaks
cupcake crumbs scattered all around their webbed feet !

And when they were done and finally flew out
the leader duck threw the last cupcake in my mouth !
I tried not to eat it but it was stuck to my lips
I guess they were just hungry after their long trip ?

The Beginning of Togetherness

Two days ago, I started to dance,
But my neighbour, from his house, caught a glance.
I saw his smiling face,
But his exact expressions were tough to trace.
I smiled at him back.

Next day I saw him walking down the stairs,
I passed by him, without any care.
But he turned back and greeted with a smile,
I was pushed into an unknown space for a while.
After sometime, I got back on track.

Few months hence, I met him on the train at noon,
Then fell upon me from the Abode of God , a boon.
There was something his eyes wanted to tell,
Suddenly,he spoke " You dance really well".
I was taken aback.

I was so immersed in his essence,
What I desired for was only his presence.
I wanted to be his forever,
As I could part with him never.
Unaware, It was destiny's best hack.

Now, we are together since years,
My happiness is his and mine are his tears.
We have embarked on a journey of togetherness,
All that matters to me is his happiness.
Every moment is a bundle of joy that we stack.

Premium Member She Saw It But

An angel came down and gave her a wink.
Astounded she did not know what to think
She saw it but she did not believe

A voice came clearly into her sleep mind
In her sleep state her Daddy she did find
She saw it but she did not believe

Are you going crazy? Are you quite mad?
Asked the apparition that was her dad.
She saw it but she did not believe

Eyes popped open and her heart beat wild
Dad was there. He said I love you child.
She saw it but she did not believe

But he could see that he had scared her now
He disappeared with a tiny sad bow
She saw it but she did not believe

She had just had a visitation dream
As smooth as silk and as tasty as cream
She saw it but she did not believe


Richard Davies

Having changed from wheelchair rugby, 
To para-shooting, a sport of accuracy, 
Richard continued on at this difficulty, 
Dedicated, steadfast and determinedly. 

It began in 2008 and he made London, 
Which uncovered the set Paralympian, 
As just the same as any other person, 
And yet different in ability and ambition. 

He’s the British champion four times, 
In the R4 10m air rifle standing lines,
Of the mixed SH2 class which assigns,
Both male and female as in firm aligns. 

Born on the 10th June in the year 1971,
Richard made the Rio celebrations, fun, 
He has three kids and has his recreation, 
In travel, fishing and in the buggy run.

Premium Member Hiss-tory Part Two

Satan, the old serpent 
A snake with blue eyes, won’t repent 
Is the prince of the power of the air
To me there is no evil that can compare
I have usurped God authority on Earth
I tempted the Son of Man with an alternate birth
“You don’t need to go through the shame and degradation
Of the cross and all that humiliation”
“Do you really think God wants you to suffer this much?”
I have given lies their velvet touch
And I have taken a third with me
In my suzerainty
Every vassal and fief
I lead them to and through with my drum and fife
I conduct the confusion of the Middle Ages
I confuse the lords and the sages
(He maneuvers with his doubt 
Those who move about
On his chessboard, (overall the board of the Lord)

He has bishops and kings fighting for the ring
The ring of sovereign authority over things
Over duchies and vassals who scowl
In the age-old dance of crown and cowl 
I start the funeral pyres of all empires
And I delight in the aftermath of war’s destruction
And the smoldering of the ruins and all the corruption
And over the above ground open tombs I swoon

I laugh and unfurl my wings
Along with church and state I sing
(I am devoted to both sides
That’s how I ensure both sides collide)
I point the Lombards at the papal spire
And began the fall of the Hohenstaufen empire
I created the Investiture Controversy 
To get to the bishops and abbots
To unrelentingly reveal all their bad habits
I’ve promoted the mote 
By saying “the parchments are out of date wrote”
I have walked the holy stones in the garden of God
And where angels trod
And the Earth to and fro at any hour
Waiting for someone to devour
I honor the unholy trinity and the sinner in you and me

Invisible Fear

Peekaboo
I see you
But you do not see me

Clammy sweat
Palms get wet
You want to run, be free

Shiver, shake
Wide eyes make
You give a stiffled scream

Unclear doubt
What's about
Feel's like  horrible dream

Heartbeats race
You hide  face
You can't this torture bear

Close behind
Me you'll find
You know my name as Fear

You can't see
Wicked me
But Fear is always near!

Being invisible #2  - Poetry Contest 

Note:
Fear is the companion of everybody. Silient, irrational, omnipresent, and INVISIBLE. Fear always lurks around the corner, it is invisible and strikes one suddenly. It is diffiult to come to terms with it let alone recognise it. The scream of the drowning person, or the suffocating feeling or terror of a phobia, are all manifestations of FEAR - once you face it, it vanishes!

Premium Member Tragedy In France

A concert hall was filled to capacity,
with revelers unaware of the atrocity,
they were about to face.
Evil dressed in black, intent to kill,
aimed their weapons with precise skill,
and fired into that place.

A favored cafe on a Paris street,
where friends, loved ones oft would meet,
drinking their cafe au lait.
Assassins came and took their position,
to kill and terrorize their intention,
on that tragic day.

Chaos ran rampant in Paris, France,
as ISIS took its murderous stance,
against humanity.
Many were wounded and many died,
and all the world was horrified,
at such insanity.

Anger rises alongside mourning.
Retaliation swift, without warning,
the French fight back.
The world must stand up to these thugs,
destroy them, squash them just like bugs.
We can't be slack.

We mourn with France for those who died,
and we will stand close by her side,
until we win,
this war against cruelty and hate.
Annihilation will not be our fate.
We won't give in.

Premium Member Performances In Life

Performances in life 

       Enjoyed life from various aspects
       Each performance I do respect
       and success came as expected.
                   Hard to specify which is greatest.

      While stood First as student in school
      Me turned so joyous cheerful.
      A girl realised success in full.
                      Thought that performance as the best.

     Struggled lot to overcome barriers
     in building my chosen career.
     Meet challenge each step changing gear.
                        Admired to own skill as asset.

      Span of work went wide and wider.
      Lecturer turned writer, author
      Editor, talker, stage performer.
                         Continued in educative set.

      Acted as advisor to friends
      and always helping hand to lend.
      My erect head never to bend.
                          In broad spectrum played my cassette.

     Family was priority
     on top of each activity.
     Lived a life of quality 
                            Off and on set or reset.

   “You are the light of my life, Mom”
   Desirable remark came from
  my daughter: I replied prompt
                       “You are my achievement GREATEST.”
