The Quest For Perfection
Today,
somewhere in this world,
without fuss or a funerary
prayer, a lifeform
has gone extinct.
It probably passed unnoticed,
its last lonely moment spent
bleeding beneath a log
or gasping in a shallow pond
with its gills clogged with silt
or sliding down the gullet
of a predator.
How brutal the path is,
the sheer waste,
the cruel experimentation
whether mindful or mindless
by something

Gentle Men in their Role as Mothers: Quest for Identity Protection
Gentle Men as Mothers :Quest for Identity Protection.
Gentle he was with them, male and female -
His brothers and sisters from the start...
No giant in disposition, his tender thoughts
Spoke volumes to both men and women-
All of us need words that nurture hearts to heal
Like a nursing mother with her children,
His position did not forbid tones of

Is it still life? Her Quest for Identity.
Tis' stilled life
This still life
Distilled wife
Still - That's life
Mime wife.
"Playing dumb while acting the role."
The unspoken influence of mothers on their daughters.
My mother in her work environment, and my mother at home were two completely "different" personalities. At work, I saw her happy and bubbly,

The Two Little Leopard Cubs: A Quest for Identity
The Two Little Cubs: A Quest for identity.
(A Cautionary Tale)
Two little leopard cubs
One shy, one bold,
went out to play
in the wild wide world.
Bold so bright -
Life a big adventure.
Shy so quiet-
Life a no go venture.
Played games together-
Shy learnt from Bold,
Rough and tumble
Not always gentle.
Which one do you think escapes
the focus of real

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

Better not to search too deep in the shadows that envelop us in the quest for another realm
Better not to search too deep in the shadows that envelop us in the quest for another realm,
For the panacea offered by illusions and promises remains just a dream of escape,
Anesthetizing us in forgetfulness or finding ephemeral islands in the arms of deceptive love,
Where promises are chains, and the eyes that gaze upon us hide

Dual Quest for Knowing and Not Knowing
The curious mind is an endless flame,
That facts and truths cannot tame.
For knowing is powerful, sharp and clear,
Helping to adapt, learn and face the fear.
But knowing comes with a heavy cost and toll.
More questions to answer, more doubt to control.
But not knowing, too has its place.
For ignorance is bliss to engrace.
Where the mind lets go

A Quest For Earnest Answer
Where should I go
When my heart is tired
But in your arms full of warmth
And comforting soul that giving revival.
Should I go or not
To destiny where it leads me
Or should I stay and cry in silence
Where sorrow hide and stagnation stay.
Tell me whom should I see
A lover whose heart is for me
Or

The Quest for Wisdom
A restless soul, with burning eyes,
Seeks knowledge, under endless skies.
The quest for wisdom, never done,
A journey started when she began.
Through ancient texts, she seeks to find,
The truth that lies, within her mind.
Each step she takes, a lesson learned,
A thirst for knowledge never burned.
The quest for wisdom never ends,
But with each step, her spirit bends
Towards the

Quest for Life Out There
It is sheer absurd arrogance
To only look way out there in the Universe
For Life as WE Know it!
That is, an organic form based on Carbon and Water.
So what is Life, in essence?
Life is a revolt against the fundamental rules of Nature
to decay to disorder (to increase Entropy). That's it!
Living things are organised to work continuously

The Quest for Restless Orbit
Wandering alone with a heart that’s aching evidence
The fences you’re always sitting on, more numerous than my internal injustices
Not that I can really talk
Choking on all my hypocrisies
And biting my tongue in place of healing through the words “I disagree”
We were just time wasted from landfill clocks
I’m desperate

In the quest for love, every man stretches his dreams
In the quest for love, every man stretches his dreams,
Not just a spark of attraction, but a love that traverses the soul,
A love felt in the pulse of the heart, in the breath of the night,
In every thought born and every sensation that vibrates.
But often, we lose
