Ancient Poems

Ancient poems resurrected and recited
From the murky depths of history,
You hold, against your breast,
The fresh warmth you now perceive.

I tell you tales of my youth
Of day and night, dawn and twilight.
Alive still in my beating, aching heart,
And now held in my hands to reveal. 

You ask me to start from within myself
As I recite these

Open to expression

Each day a blank canvas
I am the artist brandishing the brush

Nurture Your Virtue

Nurture the virtues of your eternal soul,
those attributes that are eternal.
Share your best, make it your goal,
let them manifest from the internal.

Let others see what will unfold,
as it extends from within to the external.
Share the creative energy, as you’ve been told,
open your mind like a ripe kernel.

Allow your thoughts to flow like a river,
share your

First Class Love

As I awoke, eyes still laden,
dreaming of a pretty maiden.
Laying quietly, still in my bed.
It was real not just in my head.

As the light streaked through the window,
heart beating like a crescendo.
I felt the joy of love at last,
in this love, I’ll willingly bask.

The sharing, caring, and daring.
The glancing and trance like starring.
The thought came

Writing Poetry

Poems may be simple, try writing a rhyme,
add some images to make it sublime.
Simple words may make meaningful phrases,
difficult words can turn into mazes.

You could write a Limerick, just for fun, 
don’t forget a surprise before you’re done.
Write a nice Haiku, a scene of nature,
like flowing mountain streams with water pure.

A Sonnet would be nice

Cherished Moments

Cherished moments spent 
With your bestest friend a sharing, 
Quietly sitting side-by-side, 
Thoughtfully, at simply nothing, staring, 
Just shooting-the-breeze together 
And for each other caring.

Should I Share My Thoughts

Dare I show others, what it is I see?
A path one may take, to set themselves free.
The words that I speak, should give them a clue,
Open a doorway for them to go through.

By offering others an explanation.
Each one can see their part of creation.
I will share with them the thoughts of my soul,
To them the

Ode To Poetry Soup

As we sit and type and stare at our screens.
At times we wonder what all of this means?
With our mouse we roam through poems like a maze.
Looking for something worthy of our praise.

We write of our hopes and tell of our woes,
Most of the time, not knowing where it goes.
We wait for the views and

Beginnings and Endings

Now, when we were small, we were totally sure
the stars wouldn’t move as we scanned the great sky,
and we knew enough, with no need to know more.
Did we ever question, or think to ask why?
 
We lay on our backs and could feel the earth move,
so why should we need to know why the sky’s

TIME TO SAY I’M SORRY

Do you feel you must really say sorry,
Or are you flippant, don’t give it much worry,
Do you feel out of obligation you must
Say sorry, believe me, that’s not very brainy,
Does your heart want to break if you don’t,
Or do you simply think, why should I, I won’t,
Have you been taught as a child to regret

from Brahmagiri hills 
Kodagu mist blessing 
Karnataka's cupped hands

Cauvery flows past 
Srirangapatna temples through 
Mysuru palaces 
carrying prayers downstream

CHILDHOOD DREAMS

When we were still kids 
Each day comes with it's ecstasy 
Steadily playing at night 
During the full moon
Right there we share our dreams 
Telling different stories 
Without hate, envy or jealousy 
Love, laughter, sharing without greed all we knew.

Our dreams, our inspiration 
Always aspiring with conviction 
Even amidst restrictions 
We keep dreaming without limitations
