I’m listening to a song, that’s captured my mood. What’s the singer saying? If it knew, I’d sing along. but the slurry words elude. It’s an artistic choice, I suppose, and I don’t require deeper meanings. A squirrel stands defiantly in the middle of the path, A tiny, furry-tailed, usurper - quite out of the routine. “Hello fluffy rodent,” I baby-sing, as it watches...

Lovers' Dream
Two lovers walk intertwined watching the waves as they roll across the endless shore. Their love for each other unbreakable and eternal. The lovers’ hearts so interlaced they beat as one instead of two. Together in life, in death, into what comes beyond. The lovers walk a singular path, a path that is certain to have...

Create the emptiness
The space between stars is not empty, So the chance to be great is plenty, That's by finding emptiness a space And making yourself shine in that place. So far, your head isn't in the cloud, Strive hard to stand out in any crowd, Though, stars glow less bright for a stranger, But sunshine sweat can be the changer. You have to find...

Across the Miles
Across the miles, my heart does yearn, For you to know the love I burn. In distant lands, you dwell so far, Yet in my soul, you are my star. Each moment planned, each meeting near, The world conspires, but we persevere. Yet obstacles, they bar our way, But love like ours will never sway. I dream of days when we unite, Under the...

Unfurling a great journey: the future
Feeling Stressed thinking of it, Under pressure by the expectations laid on you, Time to stop thinking of these obstacles, Undo your past and step into the future, Rest assured that your life will triumph, End with a toast to your successful life! For this is your life, your future and your goals, You hold the tools to sow the seeds, Of the...

Premium Member Move On From the Past
Thoughts of the past, pounding at my mind’s door, As thoughts keep pounding, my mind says no more! Thoughts of the future, now enter my head, My heart and mind choose future thoughts instead. Change seems challenging, though it is natural, We can’t stop change, certainly seems factual. No moving own and no smiling faces, Obstacles we find in many places. We choose...

Behold Your Beauty
A day in the life, Thou will have a vibe. Struggles strived by you, Would pay off true. Obstacles you fly; With you head held high; Would turn your days blue, Surely bright view. Inspired by what’s right, Aspire you deep sight. Essence that you hold, Strengthen thought you told. Things hurting today, Would pave a strong way. See your beauty, The way you duty. Views written in silence, Shine you as...

Premium Member The Cruelest
We blame any obstacles in our ways The obstacles are cruel We try all the ways to remove them We blame the devil as well as God But who is or which is the cruelest after all I said it's time Because there isn't any more chance And nothing can be done If without the permission of time...

Premium Member A Magic Iron
Because of poverty My family could only offer an iron Using burning coal It looked big, heavy and clumsy To keep the coal burning hot I had to fan it with a fancy palm-leaf fan It took time to iron To flatten the folds on my dress To raze the obstacles in my heart To remove the sorrow in my soul To gain some...

If I Had Ways
If I had ways of finding you All answers, love, I soon would tell The ways though sorrow, ways between The pain and days of wanting less Of turns under the stone. I’d tell The strategies and subtleties To cope with grief and loss. Ending Then your sentence of misery, Diminishing that bar to hope, I’d wait for you to shine...

Spreading Tentacles In the Face of Obstacles
He is out to spread his tentacles In the face, of combative obstacles, And dying to end through a tackle Any unacceptable spectacle Between The Rickety and The Ramshackle: Busy roads he’d started their channels, Hateful robbers sealing off their tunnels, Corrupt judges replacing with panels, Supported subsidy showing with funnels, Filling stations without towels obliging flannels Bottled water for user of runnels His love...
