Recast Poems

Legacy Recast

Like wine uncorked to breathe the air,
my heart and mind become

The richness of this life I’ve lived,
all fortune on the run

Not looking back, but looking in,
the key to feelings past

Where hides a treasure, memory locked
—its legacy recast

Recast the Day

let's get up with a deep breath
while it's still morn
and cast our own bright sun
not let this gloomy day
dictate a sour mood
let's you and I
jump up with joy
and infuse our day
with fun and laugh
and wild adventure
until exhausted
we paint ourselves
a most magnificent 
well earned sunset

A Legacy Recast

Like wine uncorked to breathe the air,
  my heart and mind become

The richness of this life I’ve lived,
  a fortune e’er begun

Not looking back, but looking in,
  the key to feelings past

Where hides a treasure, memory locked,
 —a legacy recast

Love Recast, Forever Vanishes

Love Recast, Forever Vanishes

With you gone, the orange sun sets just to die
don't ask me silly questions why
Is it not enough that I bled for your touch?
never asking for joy too much!
That I once sat silently watching you sleeping
each and every heartbeat reassuring me that you live!
Your love secrets I gathered into my safe keeping,
giving

They Both Desire To Rule- Nietzsche Recast In Poem

Ages there are in which the ration'l man 
And th'intuitive stand side by side, the one 

In fear of intuition, or scorn for abstraction; 
Irrational one, the other inartistic. 

They both desire to rule over their life, 
Unreal or real, counting life to be. 

Prudence, foresight and regularity, 
The means with which one meets needs

Awakening Tagore Poem Recast

Him fountain of eternal joy from 
Where life is renewed, 
Ageing and life to be drained out, exit 
From the world is nigh, 
When suddenly comes a call from him 
Above, who regulates 
The flow of life through cycles of many 
Births and deaths, to stop. 

Suddenly sounds the drum from sky for the 
Second
