A Bond That Will Forever Endure

On this day of love and joy,
Two hearts become one, oh boy!
A union of two souls so pure,
A bond that will forever endure.

The groom awaits his blushing bride,
With love and admiration in his eyes,
She walks down the aisle with grace,
A smile on her face that lights up the place.

In the presence of family and friends,
Their love story reaches its happy end,
A promise to cherish, love, and hold,
For better or worse, in sickness and gold.

As they exchange their vows of love,
A peacefulness descends from above,
A union blessed by heavens' hand,
Sealed with a kiss and wedding band.

With love and laughter, they celebrate,
The start of a beautiful, joyful fate,
A life of love, trust, and togetherness,
May their love grow stronger with every caress.

May this day be the beginning of a beautiful life,
A love that transcends every trouble and strife,
A journey of endless joy, adventure, and fun,
A love that shines as bright as the sun.

A Fetus Is a Person

A fetus is a person, a life yet to be born,
A precious soul waiting for its turn,
To enter this world and take its place,
In the loving arms of its family and grace.

It grows and develops within the womb,
Protected and nurtured, it starts to bloom,
From a single cell to a tiny being,
A miracle of life, forever freeing.

Its heart beats strong, its tiny limbs move,
As it prepares for life, its journey to groove,
A precious gift, a bundle of joy,
A new life to love, to cherish and enjoy.

Some may say it's just a clump of cells,
But to the parents, it's much more than that,
A dream come true, a new chapter in life,
A chance to grow, to love, and to thrive.

To deny the fetus its right to live,
Is to deny its future, its potential to give,
To the world, to its family, to everyone around,
A life worth living, a gift so profound.

A fetus is a person, a life yet to be born,
A precious soul waiting for its turn,
To enter this world and make its mark,
A new beginning, a journey to embark.

Joined In Loves Sweet Embrace

Two hearts beat as one,
Joined in love's sweet embrace,
Together they stand,
In this holy, sacred place.

The bride, radiant in her beauty and grace,
The groom, handsome and strong,
Filled with love and a smiling face.

Their love, like a rose in bloom,
Fragrant and full of life,
As they exchange their vows,
Their hearts fill with delight.

The rings, symbols of their love,
A promise to never part,
As they embark on this journey,
With love in their hearts.

May their love grow stronger each day,
Through the joys and the strife,
May their bond never falter,
As they journey through life.

Congratulations to the newlyweds,
May your love forever shine bright,
May you cherish each other always,
As you walk hand in hand, in life.

Economic Sea

Amidst the world of commerce and trade
Lies the foundation of our daily brigade
Economy, the heart of our monetary system
A complex structure that we can't help but listen

It's a web of transactions and values
Where supply and demand leads to venues
Where products are sold and services are bought
And every penny counts, or else it's for naught

The stock markets rise and fall like tides
And investors fear a recession that hides
Inflation and deflation are two sides of the coin
That can make or break a nation's join

The GDP is a measure of growth
But at times, it only reflects a mirage both
Unemployment rates can hit the roof
And bring the entire economy down with a woof

As we delve deeper into this world of money
We realize it's a system that's not funny
For it affects every aspect of our lives
From the way we eat to the roof over our heads and our drives

So let us learn to navigate this economic sea
And try to build a world that's free
From the shackles of poverty and strife
And where prosperity is a part of life.

September 7, 1982

September 7, 1982
a date I shall always remember
 for on that date, I met my fate
 for eight years 
 I dreamt of meeting her
then she walked into my life.

Dream What May Come

Dream what may come
Recalling past lives lived
Every fantasy comes to life
All night long 
More nightmares to come
So many worlds to explore

Noseglasses

When my arms weren’t so long
Scruffy hairs on my ears
Puffy bags round my eyes
Saggy skin ‘neath my chin
And things close weren’t as clear
It was time for nose glasses

I was sad that nose glasses
Made my face look so long
And rubbed grooves on my ears
But I focused my eyes
As I looked past my chin
And saw things were more clear

When I needed things clear
I would lose my nose glasses
And my search took too long
For a rest on my ears
And the strain on my eyes
Put gray hairs on my chin

So I scratched my old chin
And thoughts came oh so clear
Of a pair of nose glasses
For each room wide or long
To perch high on my ears
And give aid to my eyes

Then I gazed with my eyes
As I wrinkled my chin
Loving faces so clear
Sights above my nose glasses
Lingered vivid and long
Speaking youth to my ears

Those sweet sounds to my ears
Caused a dance with my eyes
Smiled and dimpled my chin
Resonating so clear
Little ones and nose glasses
Bringing closeness along

Be my sight short or long
I’ll need help for these eyes
To see life bright and clear

The Road

I chose to follow the road
Even though i know not where it goes
My thoughts alone the only hope
To help my through this life alone
I guess i could just let it go
But then the end i'll never know.

I wonder if you know
Why the world around the road
Has changed its tune as i go
Maybe that's just how it goes
When you think you are alone
But the truth is what you hope.

A silhouette becomes a hope
And you know i already know
That i never really was alone
Because you were walking down the road
Never knowing where it goes
But like me you chose to go

So together here we go
Bound together filled with hope
Still not knowing where it goes
Truthfully i don't care to know
We don't even need the road
Its enough to not be alone

Now i ask are we alone?
Off the beaten path we go
Off behind us, gone is the road
A life alive that is the hope
We cannot be the first to know
That the road forever goes

Now we know just how it goes
Everyone feels all alone
But we’ll tell you what we know
Come and rest before you go
Eat and let me give you hope
You are not alone, just the road.

The Mystery of Love

The Mystery Of Love
I haven't wrote a poem
since the day he left 
My words don't sound the same anymore ,
but still I write,
there's no reason to write
he will never hear my words
He has started a new life, he's a daddy to be!
I think about it and that could have been me,
as much as I love him, am thankful it's not
Happiness doesn't last forever
That's life
I can now think of him without shattering a tear
Is it cause I've moved on
or cause I accepted the hardest fact,
that his not coming back?
Love is still the biggest mystery
For those who accept its failure & achievement 
By heart and soul.
Is that true love?which never make two souls into one soul.
Love is too much creative,it fill the colours in life 
And those are fake lovers who fail to accept you.
Love creat feeling 
Feeling creat positive relation 
Positive relation makes family.
Atlast mystery of love cann’t solve 
By fake people.

Sestina For the Stranger Reading This

As I walk past, somebody
tries to scream, “Save
Me!” My heart beats faster. Me,
myself, and I
like we are the ones. Am 
I scared? 

Yes. More scared
Than the somebody
In the alleyway. Am
I walking faster? Yes. Trying to save 
myself for I 
don’t know what is in store for me.

What is going to happen to me?
For if I’m too scared
To move on, am I
too dumb to ask somebody
To help me save 
myself? I am.

Sometimes I am 
too busy to care for me.
I am too confused to save
myself. Too scared 
to stop myself for somebody
may not see that I

need them and I 
may be stuck and am 
very cold and lonely that not even somebody 
With a blanket and a puppy can warm me.
The life I lead, how scared I
may be, is too much for somebody to save
 
me. To save 
myself is too hard for I
am too scared
To ask for help. How am
I so stupid? Too scared to save me.
I just need somebody.

Somebody save me.
I am scared.

The Talking Drum

A drum with a voice I am
Active, proud and can smile
Made of cow-hide and wood
I can mime and make noise
I am here to be hired to shout
Provoked I make useful noise

Wood is my switch-board
Strike me with wooden sticks
And I dance for you twisty
Cool soothing dance
The dances of your heart
And sing for you reggae	
Song of your mind for your joy

I am multi-lingual too
When given cheese, butter
I can cry with the crying
When showered with money, milk
I can laugh with the laughing
A talking drum, I ape my master
	
At times I am deaf and dump
Feed me not, I raise my hand not
Feed me, I postpone sleep and act
For I talk what you talk, 
And hear what you hear for,
Life is a dream full of imitations

Weep, Why When I Saw It Coming

Weep, Why? I Saw It Coming!

He put me in the mood
Reminding me I am a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
But is that really me?
No need to explain why I can't see

Distracted on all sides
He liked the span of my thighs
The curl in my hair
Not so much the clothes I wear
It was the look in my eyes
The energy shared between he and I

Forgetting that Woodoo
That they do to attack you
Yet never affecting you
Because you said I do
So I pause
Not giving cause

Committed
Able to resist it
Knowing something is wrong but I'm too strong
Not sure what it is
I want him, strange and new
My GI Joe, my reason not to be blue

I knew I was the assignment
The joke is on who
The joke is on me
Because I wanted it to be
Wanting his love 
Reservation free

A little white lie won't hurt nobody
This was my clue
But why tell me truth
Or should I say half of it
Like sharing a goal
Never to get old

What can I say, it wasn't meant to be
My soul wants to weep but my spirit says why?
I saw it coming, you should have listened to me!

Premium MemberFor My Beating Drum

My heart, it is a beating drum
and it dances to many a note.
This sweet, song plays; 
by God, is recorded.
Part of the heavenly band;
a spiritual lilting light.

In Gods light,
my beating drum,
sings along with the band
rings out its notes.
A best-selling record,
finite, in its play.

A mortal song can play
within God’s holy light. 
Celestial records,
with golden drums, 
play the best notes 
in Heaven’s band.

Every good band,
with unending passion, plays
the most dynamic notes;
uplifting tones of beaming lights.
Every drummer’s drum,
Is heard and recorded.

In Heaven’s studio, is recorded,
every soul-band.
when I play my drum;
oh how I play
vibrations of light;
celestial crystal notes.

Resounding, celestial notes
Ring on the etchers and are recorded
faster than the speed of light.
The history of Heaven’s band;
a soul’s music, can be played
upon their mortal drum.

Many notes dance in the celestial light.
Soul’s celestial records, will eternally play.
The happiest soul in the band; to the rhythm of life, will drum.
