The duties are paid, yet restless remain these eyes,
Without my beloved’s sight, in vain remain these eyes.
His radiance softened my roughness away,
Helpless in their watchful pain remain these eyes.
Truth is no healer holds a cure to impart,
Afflicted with the illness of heart remain these eyes.
I cannot accept that another may see,
Slayers of grief and disgrace remain these eyes.
“Bhav” still stands humbled in the endless queue,
Whether love’s confession or death remain these eyes.

FEILDS OF GOLD FROM SHIMMERING TREES
WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN THATS WHAT I WILL SEE
THEUNCLOUDED SKY SO BLUE AND PRISTINE
IS ALL PART OF MY FUTURIZED DREAM
The glistening stars above in the sky
Will guide my path as I walk thru the light
Please remember though it's my future I see
The one spoke of from the bibles I read,
What your vision and forethought reveal
Comes from those who raised you & believed it as real
Rearing you up and raising you right
They gave you backbone to withstand the fight
Forever grateful I stand and observe
Smiling and giggling, I scoff at the absurd.

I found a crooked dollar
and hired a crooked lawyer
to pursue a crooked case
before a judge to place,
but we found no crooked court,
however hard we sought,
but as long as we keep looking,
we'll keep the cauldron cooking.

Not everyone is like the rain
Ever-pounding into the concrete with a
Roar sounding through the clouds above
Drenching everything in its path as
A reminder of their abilities
Extroverts
There are those of snow-like characteristics
Gracefully gliding down to whatever
Land the wind so desires to clothe
Nearly silent to the world
Yet impacting just as many
