Spring, simply js
a woman with a young spirit,
body of a muse, heart of a child...
I just want poetry
that will keep
my eyes open
my lips moving
Brain thinking
heart pounding
fist clinching
memories reminding
Patriot sounding
peace resounding
mentioning propounding and
love abounding
Don't ask me about the color of the alphabet
These are the veins of poetry
Don't ask me about the diversity of words
These are the limbs of poetry
Don’t ask me about the influence of the sentences
These are the life of poetry
Where there is the poetry is independent
There life is free from the chaotic taint
Give me poetry where the poet is human
I’ll give you the peaceful wise life

Come; come along with the true self
Enter into the kingdom of insightful love
Dig out the hidden sepultchre of inside
Take smell the wise coal of burned heart
Absorb; cultivate all in the silent veins
Let it sprout as like the stream of poetic ink
Meditate on it and write to spread the scent

They say, “You are poor”
I say, “I’m poor“
They say, “The scarcity prevails in your house and body”
They say, “You are sick man and patient of abnormality”
They say, “You are dead”
I say, “Yes, I’m dead”
Scarcity in my house and body
Because I have no poetry
I’m sick and patient of abnormality
Because prescription of a true poet is free
I’m dead, a living corpse
Because without poetic wisdom life is anarchy

WISE
Only
wise knows
over the
not knowing...
TIME
Time is
flawless
clock
doesn't delay
does not advance
doesn't break...
JUSTICE
dodge,
slippery,
follows
justice just
sneaking around
from justice...
GOING UP
sans daring
flying... impossible
rise to heights
in life...!
SOUND OF SILENCE
In the room
full of sounds...
only was
heard
something,
when nobody
anything
said...!
Kelogb (6-7-6)
You learnt me to caress themes
Rallying all and sundry
Growing pure potency
FEAR
it's a photo
out of focus...
LOVE
Love,
a portrait
alive
colorful...
PASSION
Passion,
it's a weapon
dangerous,
and confused...
HATRED
Hatred,
it's a fire
mortal,
infernal...
DOUBT
Undoubtedly
it's a pass,
unnoticed landscape...
LUCK
something simple
that easily
doesn't happen...
MUSIC
it is a dream
sung or
played
When I smile,
I write poetry...
when i cry,
also...
In laughter or crying
poetry sublimates us
in light or shadow
Every poem I write
it is a kiss that i offer with affection...
Who my poetry reads,
feels poetically osculated...!
I looked,I saw an image blue
a memory,fleeting yet true,
midst the black,white and grey
just awaiting me to portrait;
I tried to re-capture this dream,
reality's not how it seems,
it flows & ebbs as morning mist,
just out of reach,shadows persist;
A high sun then dazzles my eyes,
frustration,srems out soundless sighs,
forever lost,this unique insight,
when suddenly,I start to write
Creative words,so surreal
will my little song appeal ?

Concrete poetry,
There has to be something concrete,
it has to have something abstract.
there has to be something poetic...
There has to be something poetry,
something prophetic... if not
it could be just a text...
tedious,
pathetic... !
Sailing silently on the USS Poetical Mystery.
In a craft, where I joyfully create my own poetry.
The waves beating against the shiny, wooden bow,
Are gentle soundscapes to me now!
That scent of the sea, oh, how it inspires me!
To become a better poet, which I hoped to be.
To pen inspirational poetry,to not fret madly over what to write.
But to actually see my poem, gleaming on the shore in bright sunlight!
The magic of both sea and aquamarine quill.
Humbles this poet's soul and quiets my stormy will.
There's something magically mystical here.
I stand, see the beauteous waves, and in gratitude, shed a tear!
