Nothing's ever certain 
When relying on a flight.
You may confront delays for which
You're powerless to fight.

A little snow or fog or else
Mechanical concerns
Might get you where you're going late -
Departures or returns.

It's futile making solid plans -
They're bound to disappoint...Read More

Underneath the silence there is peace
A stratum clear  ;a different way of life
With music ‘s just discernible  relief

In the calm we find a pure release
Love can heal the wounds of a sharp knife
We embrace the silence ,welcome peace

GENERATIONS OF FAITH

I love to see a child’s faith and hear him as he prays;
It’s such a blessing to be still and hear all that he says.
I shed a tear as there he stands to quote a poem or verse
That...Read More

CARRYING BURDENS

Some people carry their burdens 
With sadness and utter despair,
You really don’t want to be near them
For they make you miserable there.
They think there is no other person
As burdened so heavy as they,
And so when you see they are...Read More

i've been bathing in the 
   cascade of love's abyss-
                  ravishing in barren
moments that ignite my

and when ease of mind comes
without resurrection from the
soul's crucifixion of pain's
onward torment,
i seek only solitude for 
solitude itself...

desolation and isolation
have become my greatest
strengths, 
they reach heights for 
each other and in moments
of blazing obscurity, 
i rise like a phoenix

God kept me through the
storm and the rain
He kept my sanity and
Keep me from going insane
He keeps me safe both
day and night
He gives me the strength 
not to give up the fight
The battles are many but
they've...Read More

Choose the gift that worth keeping memories
Happiness contained through all our laughter
Remembering those who can't be with us now
It can be stressful those who left us suddenly 
Sharing memories of their time be memorable
Tear may flow whilst we speak...Read More

I Know Some Of Life's Sorrows, Fate Decrees Everlasting

I saw seven dying newborn white horses
I stumbled upon seventeen darken courses
I ran through twenty-seven ancient burnt temples
I found love may be hard, even when life is simple.

I sat at thirty-seven broken...Read More

Beyond the distant saddened sight,
inside this lonely broken place,
I see the light that slowly fades,
the flame that burns like love's gaze
into this empty soundless space,
the void of mind and thought and name,
where all has gone and naught remains
but,
as time dreams...Read More

Scents of Christmas

To smell the smell of pine 
Artificial, though it may be,
When all year long it is missed
Except in shaving crème.

When Daddy scraped some limbs
Fallen in a Christmas tree yard,
Enticing, inviting, how we want the scents
In the house on...Read More

STUCK IN A CHRISTMAS GLOBE

In my Christmas Globe, I see a world
Where a manger scene is first unfurled
To show the birth of the Son of God
Who walks the path where angels trod

We celebrate His Birth each year 
With parades designed...Read More

We stood on a snowy mountain and together we feared fear,
all our bravado now just words- but we cannot steal them back.

Our whitewashed homes sit empty and idle awaiting our return,
yet, we know many of us will not and they...Read More

The art of what? Never heard one?
You will soon if you read on.
A fugue is a musical form,
in times past quite the norm,
more so in the time of Bach
who raised it to a mighty art.
Here, then, is how to write
a...Read More

Where art thou, Muse? I seek inspiration!
I have endured your absence for too long:
restore to me the gift of creation
once more, that I may sing a new, gay song.
When you return I'll feel great elation,
for as my muse you can...Read More

For expert execution,
take lessons in elocution.
For better word resource,
consult Roget’s thesaurus.
To keep the audience from 
yawning or boredom,
an off-color joke may be best
to revive their waning interest.
Just be sure to be discreet,
or expect a speedy retreat. 
And here’s more advice:...Read More

FOR THE UNKNOWN BEAUTIFUL GIRLS-
(Israt Jahan & Jhing Atchi Madrigal)


wow so beautiful you are, the paragon of beauty
innocent the sight, the eyes, the nose, the lips, the chin…. 
why, why you are so beautiful to look

A man
may become powerful enough to
dominate other men
or 
even become the master of his nation
and possibly
of many other nations
but 
if he fails 
the master of himself to be
a miserable weak man, forever
would he remain!

Angels live in heaven, so I heard them say,
in pristine celestial beauty they glow
as the sparkling stars in the crystalline milky way,
but often they descend on earth, I know.

How do I know, you may ask me,
I’ve seen the radiance in...Read More

As the snow fell in the dark of the night,
I sat in a state of shock, asking God why?
Sitting outside the hospital in the cold,
Not understanding why bad happens to good people
My closest friend, just receiving news of cancer
As my...Read More

While the dope make you think you can cope.
How will you be able to vote ,if you do not understand
The mind of a wicked and evil man
