the tears quietly leave my eyes
but their path does not seem
to have a rhyme or reason
and they have no destination
no purpose but to outline
my ‘self-imposed misery’
with glistening and watery pain

every hour of...

The world is a cold place. 
The powerful conscript
 the poor for war 
so that profits soar. 
We see an eagle 
and think how majestic
 never stopping to analyze 
what we're left with?
 How pathetic...

shyness permitting

Corner to corner when in a room searching camouflage in which

Man, with a soul full of desires, tries to tame eternity,

But find sorrow with those wit whom i share the same blood
Why do i hide behind these fake smiles of happiness
When this sorrow and unrest washes over my...

Some people are concerned
They wonder and they fear
Just how and when they'll die
The thought, it seems so queer
Not like we have a choice
And so I'll tell you why...
but it's only my own voice...

I've been dead...

She's a part of me, she makes me whole
We are one, she's the other half of my soul.
When we talk or sit together
Nothing else matters and this is forever.

I remember a young man of long ago,
I as fond of him as he the bow.
We thrived together, discovering astride,
grew into our own side by side.

for the friends -...

Like two-sides of the same-coin are desire and aversion,
In daily psychic chores they are whole heart-mind immersion;
Desire is cause of all sufferings - Gautam Buddha claimed, 
Aversion involves heart and mind too; both should be...

A friend will hold your hand,

a lover will implant his burning fire within you....

A friend will gently caress your body,

a lover will imprison you with his thrusting passion...

a friend would search your face,

Paradox and irony are after all
The two sides of the same coin.
Though I love irony and employ it 
Often in my poetry, in life, I am actually 
On the side of paradox.

Yet we embrace the first and shun the last
But no matter which view of life we join
Death is something that surely will come to pass

Love and Hate,
    Two sides of the same coin.
        Separated by a sliver of passion;
Hard to maintain.

Yet when the coin is flipped,

Two sides of the same coin – the good and bad;
the dark and light; the yin and yang combined.
My future self, the history I’ve had.

One cannot know happiness,
until one knows sadness;
