The river saw me ~ anticipating
A rock of ages ~ my savior
My last breath I ~ surrender
For a life that has been long ~ gone
The river of life and i are now ~ one
For my cousin Delbert 35 ~ mental illness sufferer
79 year old Mom did know he left the house ~ river is behind

“The universe is transformation; life is opinion.”
~~Marcus Aurelius~~
Marcus Aurelius was the last of the five, good Roman
emperors. His reign was one of great tranquility….he
has symbolized the….“Golden Age of the Roman Empire”
……..for many generations in the West!
you may not like it
this is the way the world is
let the good times roll
acceptance is your gift
changing the unchangeable
is grief and madness
life is your journey
transformation is to know
that you do not know
our minds just run us
answers are the booby prize
serve others with joy

Coffee wakes me up
to my surroundings,
wearing bunny slippers
to keep my feet warm as
caffeine provides a lifeline
to my senses internally,
notifying me to quit
yawning and be alert
to face the day with gusto.

I run faster than a Ferrari at top speed
I run down a never ending road
Paved with pitch black tar
Painted with burnt yellow lines
The green trees blockade me from escaping
My eyes catch their leaves tumbling to the ground
Flipping, flopping until they finally come to a rest
The sight of this makes my legs carry me faster
I run to forget.
Feelings have changed my perception of life
Caring seems pointless
Feelings withdrew from my body
I run.
My sneakers hitting the pavement rapidly
Thoughts pop into my head notifying me of what I’m feeling
Indignation for how my life is
Anger for what people say
Fear of what’s going to happen
I run.

DIMINISHING WILL
After a long gap,thought to do some pennings
Days passed,week weekened,month modified
Oh my God, year too ran out without notifying me,
This is how the time timed me out, not caring me !
Why should I blame it on time,who is always perfect !
But blaming on others is human nature and me also the one
Yes to say the truth my senses killed me slowly and killing
But the speed has reduced at now embarking on age .
Let me plan little and little like small ants and
Let me conquire my own self and let me limp up and up
As was a little turtle cub succeeded a flaunt bunny
Hope, self will also winning cub as days are passing !

There is a fairy who is cute and called Elen.
Elen's soul is connectd with universe.
Universe is watching her all the time.
Time has passed without her notifying.

Fairy Elen is kind and gentle.
Gentle Elen, you may see her here and there.

DEAD TIMELINE
It was a facebook notification
It has always been a facebook notification
Notifying me of most of my friends birthdays anniversary
Just as always; all I do is post birthday wishes on my timelines.
On a busy Saturday morning of 11th may 2014
Amidst weekend chores; I received a facebook notification in my phone
Like normal; I picked up my phone to read the lingering message
Guess what? It was about Princess Ruphina’s birthday.
Without doubt; it just a normal birthday birthday notification
But still with doubt; do the dead celebrate birthdays?
Amidst possibilities; could the sun ever shine at night?
Amidst wishes; can death days reverse back to birthdays?
In a moment, years came strolling down in a day
Memories surging so fast like fast flowing spring
The long forgotten yesterdays looked like it was today
I can still picture your smiling face like you are still here
It’s painful you can’t picture my angry face since you are not here
Middle finger to death; happy birthday my princess
Your soul shall forever rest in peace Rupina.

Walk Of Shame
Did you see that girl walk by?
I can tell, she got a guy
It's 9am, her hair's a mess
Sunday morning in a party dress?
Mascara run, lipstick smeared
She thought, this hour, all coasts were cleared
Oh but no, her I did see
And as she stumbled, she saw me
High heels on, cell in hand
Back to the dorms, she walked on Grand
Walk of shame, oh how you expose
The true nature of the hoes
Guys wake up to chill on their lawn
As freshmen girls grudgingly pursue on
Calling out, "Well how was your night!?"
Girls wish their walk was out of sight
I just laugh and point them out
More so notifying all via shout
"Walk of Shame, that is you!"
These young girls, they've got no clue
The ones who get it, then take off
Again next weekend, it's never enough
Get any guy, hooking up's their game,
But each time regretting the walk of shame.
You might think I judge too hard
Not giving them the innocent card
I shouldn't talk, I'm such a hypocrite
That was me yesterday morning, I will admit.

musty clothes strewn about
a dusty room
full of hot black bodies in dirty underwear
exhausted from a day of
surviving
the sound of late night traffic filters in through
the rusty screens in the broken windows
periodically interrupted by the rebel yell
of lost teens and homeless men
my descriptions are painfully inadequate
even though i have been there
painfully inadequate
even though i have lived there
gnarled fingers
rolling top papers
into poor mans cigarettes
the porch creaks when you
walk across
it's peeling planks
notifying occupants of intruders
poor mans alarm
i want to move
but it follows me
from one hole to another
with it's smells of degradation
and it's hopes of redemption

CRISIS stands in front of MINDS door knocking.
Breaking and entering because SOLUTION isn’t answering.
Needing a confrontation- IT escalates itself until UNBEARABLE appears.
Metamorphosing into DISRUPTIVE on all unfazed channels.
Picking a fight with LIVELIHOOD and COMFORTABLE.
Training SICKNESS in how to tease HEALTH on a consistent basis.
Making EMOTIONS confused and unstable.
Causing DISORDER to jump in and dictate.
Overwhelming MARRIAGE, so that TEMPTATION can walk down the isle
with DIVORCE on it’s arm.
Giving PREGNANCY time to stealth its way onto the scene.
Notifying COMPLICATION for its upcoming appointment.
ABORTION becomes the honoree in discussion.
Smiling for being chosen, TAKING A LIFE is upbeat and perky.
SADNESS is fighting back tears of joy, because HAPPINESS is missing.
The meeting is heightened when POVERTY shows up.
Uh oh! WORRY is approaching with cousin STRESS.
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, sends a help signal to PRAYER.
ANSWERED comes to the rescue,
Evicting CRISIS from MINDS place.
