In the conjugal life’s complex topography,
vowed to traverse to the end together
within the sacred institution of matrimony,
the path may bifurcate where distrust dust gathers.
Marking the legal dissolution of marriage,
the partners once embraced by love and commitment,
walk divergent walkways through the emotional corridor,
away from incompatibility, for they grow apart over time.
The common course splits with the conflicting mindsets,
plunging into whirlpool of emotional challenges,
bears testimony to how the convivial chord
of conjugal harmony the impaired sentiments crumble.
In the lonely search for the way out of despair
psychic positivity leads to personal growth,
offering the opportunity of new beginnings,
helping to rise from the ruins of the past.
Self-esteemed prudence is a guide to navigate
the new reality through the terrain of self-regulating life,
and curve out an independent course to move on,
for the night ends, a new sun rises in another dawn.

She told me to go to bed.
Briefly, it seems like nothing,
But she isn’t a parental figure, and I am not six—
So why is a bedtime in order?
In my head, it tells me she’s bored of me,
That my weird facts have run dry,
And my personality has become an interest of the past.
My heart tells me she’s just worried about my sleeping habits—
It tells me she wants me to get enough sleep.
I don’t know what to think.
There are two conflicting mindsets:
A girlfriend who may or may not be bored,
And me—too tired to make sense of any of it.
So I sit, and I write this poem that I might show her,
In hopes my poetic skill will keep her interested in me.
Maybe it will work.
I pray like a monk that it will.
Fun fact: monks pray for six hours every morning.
Of course, you already know that—
It was that fact that made you bored of me.

A man was born to dignify
Deserving every piece of respect
For the fantabulous of intelligences
For the bright shine of mindsets
Of the pure and sharp eyesight
And of the facile and sturdy hands
Finely handles with delicacies
While the decency of the manners
Bestowed its glamourous graces
Of these evidence for the grades
Of its freedom and dominance
To be owned by a respectable man
No third parties could obstructing
Nor the contrived defer his shining
Of its presence as a master of men
With rights legitimated by nature
Rather, by artificially made with power
Into a headless minion of followers
Harvesting the man-made bumptious
Though, may success for glossing face
But deemed meaningless in a man's eyes

Today's world is same as before,
The process changes as days go..
Like science changes the ancient to modern..
World is changed by the thoughts of human.
They are still them but not their soul and mind
Everyday humanity becomes more victorious in the struggle with space and time..
But world belongs to this humanity.!
All cycles are going on as day before
But it seems something has changed
And that's the humanity of humans.
Instead of saying Bigyan ka yog
Better say it's kali yog..
Humans are the best from all era coz of their thinking personality..
It seems they has lost in that past,never comes
The misunderstanding between them
The misconceptions seem it's been long time
It's totally messy when it is felt with positive mindsets,,..
We are all same in God's eye,
Then why we can't maintain togetherness?
Have come here to be real not to be perfect.
So, " Leave the best version of your."

Sign from the very sign itself? They asked, from you, a sign.
Is all well with these vipers? You thought. Are there mindsets fine?
Shouldn't they be content with the sign of Prophet Jonah?
They asked you to perform as though you're a play persona.
Jonah was in a whale's belly owing to Yahweh's wrath.
Tasting the sour vinegar of strife, he chose the right path.
You should be in the womb of the earth, you said, for three days.
To expound to the world how unique are the divine ways.
Queen of Sheba was pulled by the Wisdom of Solomon
Did she, yet, as though for eternity, last on her throne?
The incarnate has streams of wisdom flowing from his wells.
Is there anyone greater than him who saves from death knells?
You talked in signs about your death, grave, and resurrection.
Shouldn't all these pass through the process of crucifixion?

so I look into your eyes
I see your heartbeat

toll soul hued eyes glistening
nurturing mindsets sweet
I see you in truth my Father's child

Unrest World
Fires cracking
Bombs bombing
People fighting
People debating
Deforestation
All the isms
Weak mindsets
Y'all are decrazed.
Unrest, unrest
Unrest World
Where is the peace
Where is the love
Unrest, unrest
Unrest World
Why can't you ease
Slow down your grudge.
Folks are dying
Folks are crying
Where is the peace
Where is the love?
Many lost their jobs
Things got rough
Things got tough
Enough is enough.
Why can't we eat
Why can't we sleep
Should I give up my arms
Should I give up my legs
So many fears
So many tears
We just live in the doomsday world.
Refrain.
Please, Lord
Forgive us all
We're living in the gloomy world
Please, Lord
Forget us not
We're living in a chaotic world.
Refrain.

O' dear sir
I do not squander
Into mindsets
long in wonder
In my time
set far before yorn
since the day
when I was born
mine eye saw much
of what was then
light of a touch
forth it comes again
Ah, but to squander
too much in thought
tis not a pleasure
I dare not ought
future tis where
my mind eye lies
Seeking prevalence
not starry skies
Alas, inside
my silent days
remembrances wander
engulfed in haze
But oh, kind sir
such thoughts do carry
sadness of life
which are secondary
So, NAY, dear sir
I will not wander
into the mindset
long in squander

| From lack of reason, to quotients of densest space
| Through the iris of an eye, voids are commonplace
| Stubborn pervasive doubt, projects across the face
| Reassured again when mindsets find a bright place
| Still if one can’t see god, photons will bring a trace
| Filtered through life’s prism, heaven refracts apace

Divergence of the roads vowed to walk to the end together
In the institution of marriage where distrust dusts gather
Veers with conflicting mindsets into emotional challenges
Observes how the chord of the conjugal harmony changes.
Rise from the ruins of quality time once shared but gone
Chart a new course of self-regulating life and move on
Ebon night ends for the new sun to rise in another dawn.

People of different opinions,
painful opinions which smell like onions
and make some readers and writers
weep like some chefs who always
cut onions and garlics
in singing sad lyrics
In five stars hotels
and beachfronts restaurants.
People of different opinions,
Heavy opinions to carry to millions
of people because of different mindsets.
Some people are captured by diabolical systems
which always claim bloods of innocent folks
to continue being above other nations.
People of different opinions,
Encouraging opinions which can be demonised
by minority people when they find exposed
By some relevant facts.

There are unending fired shots
which keeps one on their toes
to always push to be great.
Bullets emanates from varied firearms;
where some targets are locked in,
some aimed at and others
to be picked by stray bullets.
One has the chance to either retreat
or face their fears.
Retreating saves a part of you
but equally makes you weak.
The brave shields and fight back
with fierce resistance.
Surprise counters at times
downplays opponents' perceptions
and mindsets about situations.
This sometimes equals victory.
And such resultant wins,
equates to being given a trophy
at the negotiation table.

My HEART AND SOUL SO QUIET
My heart and soul so quiet
In my mind so denying
Regulating mindsets reviewed
My soul is quiet and waits for God alone
In my mind so denying
My hope comes from Him
My soul is quiet and waits for God alone
In Him the Father I am loved and not alone
My hope comes from Him
Regulating mindsets reviewed
In Him the Father I am loved and not alone
My heart and soul so quiet

PANTOUM poem verse

The holiday cabin smelled of wet pigeons
but it was lakeside and cheap.
The lake was not popular,
too deep and weedy for swimming,
too shallow for docking boats,
yet it suited our make-do mindsets.
Of course,
we were romantically attached at the hips,
feet glided upon air
as we wandered upon the pebbly beach
fingers entwined in a dank mist.
Graham crackers and marshmallows
were unpacked
alas the firepit was soaked
with too much leafy fog.
A desultory fire was sparked
in a damp bed beneath a mildewed roof.
We had only tomato soup, tough bagels
and a pack of Marlborough.
We had not planned for chills and hunger.
Inevitably the vacation
grew lukewarm.
Runny noses and sneezes,
the cheesy smell of wet footwear
all seeped deeply into our gestalt,
philosophically
we bailed on the quickly drenched dream,
and each other.

streams of thought continue to flow
as ideas endure archaic mindsets
forced silence speaks through the pen
the written word will rise to the occasion
and a Whip-poor-will chant its name endlessly
in enthusiastic appreciation from dusk to dawn
