Because I was supposed to.
I didn’t write this poem
to talk about my feelings.
I didn’t write this poem
to talk about the world.
I didn’t write this poem
to make anyo...

Premium MemberThe 'Meaning of Life'

...
   The ‘meaning of life’ oft escaped me 
     for I got quite busy, you see

...

My love awakens me
with playful purrs,
with kitty licks 
and padded paws -- 

we are never far
from our primitives, 

to know the world by
touch, and God through 
tactile mystery, repli...

Premium MemberThat Breath

...There is a power which drives us all, and
Our consciousness is a breath which 
Has been pushed into us
Like we press on buttons to switch on 
In-animated machines!

Yet, it has chosen to remain...

Premium MemberThen and Now

...Once there was a time (of course, not so long),
I was, in body and mind, not so strong;
Any death, as though it's my own, scared me,
Mishaps and blood I couldn't dare to see...!

Then, when I sa...

...I am thinking of moving to old Zanzibar
Where I shall relax and strum my guitar,
Among the fields of cinnamon and clover
Perhaps I shall invite a few friends over,
To while away what ...

...As I philosophize in this ferocious rain
In search of a gentle note on this quatrain
Inside I see a strong, impermeable porcelain
And you trying to break it, not in vain...

Arrival and Departure

...Life is a joyful ship
        that brings impatient tourists
        to discover the beauties
        of life...
        Death is only a vehicle

        back...

I Know That I Know Nothing

...3 May 2019  10:27 Am

I Know that I know nothing and nothing surely knows me
There for I and nothing are a commonality

Autumn Reverie

...From the bower of my abode,
At dawn and twilight I strode.
Crispy leaves rustled as I passed,
Over frosty, shimmering grass.

Craving even paler sun on my face,
Amid stiff breezes I set a good ...

Frederic the Mad

...When you are obsessed 
With the great and good 
What is right 
And what is wrong 

What is right? 
And what is wrong?
Is all consuming 

It permeates 
Every though 
Every action 

Life b...

Premium MemberWhat Keeps Us Awake

...While moon makes place for sun
dark sky duvet pushed back
stars close their eyes

The restless few
their beady eyes
small marbles 
see all
and everything
hip ceaselessly
don't find peace

You Gave Them Generously

Albert Einstein, generous brain to experiment

...Day and night, I trip time while crossing datelines. 
Slicing between stars, my ride purrs with speed turbines.

To Walden’s Pond, I frequently, eagerly go
for chats with my hero, the first hippy...
