not new nor novel no more
See some sights, see some more
But now I am standing at my door
The room the same as before
not new nor novel no more
Still, I can't be bothered to make a change
Yet I'm longing to turn the page
standing still at center stage
not new nor novel no more
But I could change

Irony nor spirit of time
If five sons so well can live
In father’s one-room-- a palace,
But no one in their five-room space
Of each can find enough place
For their aged parents,
O blame not the spirit of time,
Nor even irony of time,
Ought we not blame our heart’s
Shrunken space within, not in house?
Not widely wafting Westerly Wind
In place of Purbee breeze.

No Colours Nor Lilies
No Colours Nor Lilies
Painted in grey
no colours nor lilies
there's hope there's pain
amidst the wind and storm
"Life" pinned me in blue.
One month passed.
The new walk in
like a gentle guest,
hopes on it
worries cast aside,
I take a step and stride;
my boulders are too immense
to shoulder,
beyond my strength,
beyond my vision
'like a dream.
In glimmer of hope
I embrace my path,

Love is foul nor fragrant
A rare crescent when comes to be,
Moon’s silver so scant comes to be.
No fragrance from some comes to be,
From some a foul scent comes to be.
No use digging into the past,
The same old repent comes to be.
Break mirrors nor try to look in,
Image nigh but bent comes to be.
If ye look

No mountains, Nor Coast
I don't desire mountains,
Nor do I desire coasts
But I hope when I knock your door, Death,
You would be a gracious host.
When I come to meet you Death,
I hope you would be kind.
And shoulder to carry me,
None I'd need to find.
I hope when I lay there,
There would be people who would

The intellect will not solve our problems, nor will it feed the soul
The intellect will not solve our problems, nor will it feed the soul with the essence of eternal life;
we often lose ourselves in the whirlwind of an extraordinary world that we do not truly see.
The leaves dancing in the mysterious wind remain unseen, and the grass untouched by our hands,
for we do not feel the

Neither Nor
a door creaks inward,
the sky folds in, saying not leave
nor enter
not lost, not quite returned
my hands forget their kedge,
stillness 'neath the murmur
somewhere between blur and flame
a yes dissolves into never,
I mistake the hush for an answer

Neither nor
In the light I see the dark.
As blank as the silence is in my heart
Moving on I feel nothing but a lot
I know inside I am neither fresh nor rot.
Days I spend thinking about my own life
Whose wish is a happy dad and his living wife
A lively home and a peaceful room
Where I write every

NEITHER LUCID NOR BLURRED
Surrounded by immortal elders at the at the door to heaven
I hear a voice of silence whispering in a solemnly tone.
That we have been blinded by the aesthetic fallacy
Planted hemlock leading to eternal mortal as a price

Neither Presumption Nor Despair
We can’t make
all the bad things
good
Just knowing
all that didn’t
should
We can’t wish
what stays real
away
Or lie
to keep the truth
at bay
Yesterday
today
tomorrow yield
The leavened
‘Word’
forever sealed
Ad infinitum
minus
one
Salvation’s
path
— is zero sum

Neither Dumb belle nor dumbell: a Quest for Identity
Neither Dumb Belle nor dumbell: The Search for Personal Identity.
Made in His image Divine, one and one equals two
The differences plain and simple in design
Does not "Woman" mean "Female Man,"
From First Man her origins taken?
Together strong and flexible
In time they find each in and as the other
Indispensible to humankind's survival
A perfect pair in God's
