Premium Member In the grand scheme of meaning

We dare believe in afterlife
lest there’s no justice in this universe

We're merely quests on this planet
lest we forget ~
Our life is but a wink
in the wake of eternity

Premium Member Little Scheme

Why did they take my love away
I’ll never get a clear answer
Just put any reason in what I call “they”
If there is a reason, enhance it
But I talk to myself, am I?
There is no purpose, no need
Death just comes up, and you die
You’ve no more time to complete
Its over and done in one moment
And nothing is left to discuss
This world of pain is a torment
Let it scatter my handful of dust!
What’s so dictinctive this ritual tells
The same sorrowful words will be said 
But I’m just myself, and nobody else
In the grand scheme of living with dead
One night I’m to follow my love in a dream
When she will call me, I’ll go
That’s an alternative, my little scheme
About the big world people know.


Betrayal

Once again they lie,
Once again, they spin their tale,  
My instincts whispered long ago.  
Underestimated, as always, it sails,  
Through currents of pretense they choose to throw.  

They undermine, as though it's blind,  
Do they think It doesn't understand?  
A child's mind, they seem to find,  
Easy prey for the idle hand.  

Yet here it stands, more wise than weak,  
A heart grown cold but far from dull.  
Their careless schemes, so bold, so bleak,  
Have sparked a flame they thought to cull.  

Once, it hoped we'd learn the same,  
That trust could thrive where doubt was sown.  
But disappointment breeds disdain,  
For now, it's clear—it walks alone.  

No longer will it play the part,  
Of puppet in their hollow play.  
It's soul demands a fresh restart,  
It turns from them, then walks away.  

Again they leave, abandon, flee,  
And in their absence, it finds it's own.  
Let them lie; I’ll let them be,  
For silence suits me best alone.

Moments of a Lifetime reprise


Serendipity:
something more than imagined,
less than expected.
       -------
something more than expected,
less than imagined.


The unexpected
and the unexplained await
us at their pleasure.


The coin spins on edge.
Whichever way it might fall
dictates tomorrow.


What is Destiny?
Is it Fate or something our
Wishes willed to be?


Our thoughts direct us
along our life's chosen path,
but emotions guide us.


To be the clone of
unquestioned ancestral views
is a voided life.

Premium Member GODS SCHEME- Ariddleculous Haiku? IN TIME?

A cat meows a dog barks.
When where when there then a dog 
meows? A cat barks? Sunset
Sunrise! The complexions! New skies
 complexions new surprise?
 It BEGINS AGAIN?! This TIME Sunset! 
Midnight flare? How then? It can?
A silent cry quiet night. 
There the DEATH  OF DIE! 
The sun has begun again to spin.

Sunset line! THREE morning TIME!
A CAT meows a dog barks.
BRILLIANT  SUN LIGHT! Where is the 
shade? Sight? There IS NOT the NIGHT!
Here was there DAY, DAY and DAY!
No was any more DARK! No misery
To spark the GLOOM! a kitten purrs
Perfectly pacified this is definite 
DEATHof DIE! Originally expressed 
As LIE. All IS persistently in SILENT
OF QUIET. NOTHING JUST DEAD DARK!
Is this a riddleful DREAM?! This IS 
REAL? No this IS JUST the GODS SCHEME!
THERE the ANKH! IN THE SKY! 
YEAH! Death has DIED! All IS now
Alive! We live we live we live WE LIVE!
WE LIVE!


Premium Member Roam Four Five Scheme

Pure anemoia,
a feeling inside;
The fans of secure
lure my stormy tide;

Inner deja vu,
clue cannot be seen;
You some way have been,
spin the vision’s clean;

I’ve seen it before,
story holds my heart;
Core will hit my drive,
dive in I jumpstart! 

It smells just like home,
gnome out back on guard;
Roam and trust that fit,
sit in that sick yard.

Premium Member Treasure Kindness Scheme

Kindness is a treasure map, a guide to find
Those who struggle to stand, burdened by their minds
Those who suffer afflictions, tormented by idle hands
Whose hearts ache with loneliness and long for a friend.

Kindness leads us to those who need a helping hand.
To the elderly, the sick, and those who cannot stand
It opens doors to those who seek a punter life.
And helps to ease the pain of those in strife.

With kindness as our guide, we bear a difference.
In the lives of those who struggle with persistence
We can bestow hope to those who feel despair.
And show them that someone out there truly cares.

So let us follow the treasure map of kindness.
And avail those in need with love and selflessness.
In doing so, we too will find a treasure.
A sense of purpose and joy that cannot be measured.

Premium Member Rhyming Scheme

Lately I have been feeling so happy and so rappy.
But whenever I get snappy, I go for a nappy.
Just never make me feel so unhappy nor either so crappy.

Spherical Scheme

So simple a ruse I silenced a scream
Just gullible enough to fall for your scheme
While you're bored and just blowing off steam

Now that this con has gathered more steam
My frustration has lent volume to my scream
How is it I haven't found an exit to this scheme

Not a pyramid but more of a spherical scheme
As it spins out of control so swiftly it gathers steam
And I just, I just. AHHHHHHHHHH. Scream.

I scream for this scheme to run out of steam

Premium Member In the Grand Scheme of Things

you’ve been around
the world and back
conquered skies 
and sailed the seven seas

should you set your mind to it
I know nothing would stop you
from reaching out to me
wherever you or I may be

The Grand Scheme

in the grand scheme of things
Nothing is as it seems, 
nothing will stand 
the test of time,
the eons will grind, 
all will be worn to dust 
as nothing is forever 

forgotten in rust 
in the grand scheme of things 
we are nothing but a nanosecond 
sparks of life easy blown out like a candle 

in a vast vacuum of night 
the regions of forever 
and no one n nothing ever lasts 

nothing is as it is or deemed, 
seeing nothing in the coming void 
nothing will stand the test of eternity 

eons will grind all to carbon at last
the thing that stars of made

watching it drift through 
…these deathless hands!

Ebony Tongue

though they sought the gentle verse
a wracking pain drew up their purse 
as thoughtless sovereigns hissed their curse 
the dollars drained; their feign- rehearsed

this tragic dismantling 
ever-torn fabric seams 
flowing a pious demand of the feed 
groveling majesties 
planted their effigy 
cordially under the pew cushion seats

stating repeat 
loving the myrrh 
silent decree
ebony spurs

Premium Member A Midsummer's Night Poetess's Scheme


THIS IS A FANATSY POEM !!!!


In the still of the summer night,
The perfect poetess delighted in
hurting a fellow poetess?
Tis simply immoral and so not right!

This spinner of sonnets, loved by so 
many, 
Craved attention for herself alone,and
for others~ Not any!

Like the movie "Psycho"' out came her
her vengeful,peacock- colored sharp quill.
Murmuring in anger, " I will do her in~
I will, I will!"

Set herself down then, with a glass of wine.
Long hair' shining in the God's moonlight, saying:
"Nobody dare think thoughts any other than mine!"

God forgive us, then, if we dare attempt to drag 
people down!
Her vicious comment completed,that scary 
laughter~a mix of both witch, and circus clown.

Poetry soup is not wrestle mania, people!
Not one of us is God, and she was amply
forgiven, indeed by the one she hurt,
Under a summer, starlit, silver steeple!

Shame On You

Agencia
You hack accounts and invade privacy
Is this what you do?
Shame on you shame on you
You block signals and assist kidnappers
Is this what you do?
Shame on you shame on you
You frame who you want?
You plant blasphemous chat and messages
Is this what you do?
Shame on you shame on you
You tell lies and delete evidence
Is this what you do?
Shame on you shame on you
In the name of obedience you lick feet of elite
Is this what you do
Shame on you shame on you
In the name of defense you cover smugglers
Is this what you do?
Shame on you shame on you
Officers who gives you the right to play with our lives?
Note. You wish me dead.
Musalman to bohat door ki BAAT hai,
Ham to shayad kafir bhi na rahay..
Do zabano do chehron vali makhloq.Abdus Salam.
