I never ask for anything
that I don’t need,
I never beg,
I never shout,
I never pout.
I’m like a bird
with no wings
or no rout.
Giving money,
giving clothes,
giving everything that’s around you
and the closest to you,
but far nowhere near
the thought of giving support.
The money,
the nickels,
the dimes,
all of what can’t replace time
is the opposite of believing
in a single soul.
My mindset and motivation
doesn’t always run on money,
it runs on belief
and that is what keeps my engine going
during the hard times
of the storms and the clouds.
When I’m finally ready,
I will be shinny
more than the sun
has ever shinned
in front of the crowds.
I never do ask for what I need
because God already gave me
all of what I needed
deep down in my soul,
my heart,
and all of what’s around me—
the roof over my head
and a beautiful women
to motivate me,
to keep my engine going,
and to fight for what will be
forever ours in the future
and for what all we have left
on this earth.

Oh sweet nature !
Beautiful and bright,
Just as the morning sun
Whitened and shinny
the smile of the cloud,
The beauty of thy face
Fresh and gloomy
As a plant
Planted on the river bank
Running through the heart
Just as Car in Motion
Moving from juncture to juncture
The bossom of thy heart,
Best place to be
The smile on thy face drives all sorrow away
The comfort in thy words
The sweetest pleasure
One could feel
The sweetness of honey
Less compared
To the pleasure in thy kiss.

Chronic
Fool, that I was, I thought to be more
Only to be gutted, and left on the shore.
To Doctor’s appointments, I dutifully arrived
To be sent away, told lie after lie.
You look so good, you must feel fine?
The only explanation, “it’s all in your mind”.
The package so shinny, the skin, so bright,
The body inside, it’s tainted with blight.
So many years, I lobbied and I strived,
Wanting more, than just to survive.
Nothing’s possible, all dreams, gone
Once, I danced, now, pain’s pawn.
The day’s are listless, seas, becalmed,
Waiting for light, without hope of dawn.

From nowhere to somewhere
undefined to infinity comes son of soil
that makes something out of nothing.
There comes a black giant that spread it's wings to save a black nation.
Black blacky, you are black
From the beginning, in the middle and you are forever black.
Come go heavy abnormal rains, marshals black blacky.
Come strike shinny sun, beautifies glittering black blacky.
Black blacky you are black
More than a coal, more than the midnight
You are indeed black.
Black blacky rise and show them that
you are dynamic in structure and you are most beautiful without white.
Black blacky you are beautiful
You are naturally prominent and you are beautiful when you are black by black

Twinkling lights float across a snow covered lawn,
Awaiting the jolly ole man in red to come merrily along.
His toy filled sleigh with eight reindeer as the story
Goes,
And rumour has it that one has a shinny nose.
The glow from that nose has the power to show the
Way,
Enabling the man to deliver his packages all before Christmas Day.
And if by chance you should hear sounds in the middle
Of the night,
Listen closely and you will hear him say Merry Christmas
To all and to all of you good night.

Upon this rusted hook, I've hung for years;
I can't recall when I last touched the ground.
The rust on me is creeping- oh, my fears-
I'll just be cast away and never found!
You see, right next to me- a newer one
so shinny-bright, with an unblemished blade,
is always used- their fave has now become!
They leave me here alone- feeling betrayed.
But then, one summer day, their Grandpa came!
He graciously pulled me from that old hook-
then patted me with love- to then proclaim,
“I need to borrow you, my friend”- and took
me to the garden, which was overgrown,
to manage it as we did long ago;
since then- neglected, wild, and left alone.
Together, we set memories aglow.
An old, worn shovel, with no purpose, hung;
A senior Grandpa, with old, rigid hands;
A vegetated garden- gone unsung!
Each, with the other- old age understands.

Drum Bowl
Loved to sing,
Can't carry a tune.
Tried a recorder,
Not my order!
Found that strings,
Were not my thing.
Bing!
Bang!
Bong!
Pounding out a rhythm,
Oh, what bliss!
Bing!
Bang!
Bong!
The drums must carry on!
Pots and pans,
Have all been tried out!
The best thing yet,
A round metal dog bowl,
All shinny and bright.
Lightly tapped,
Gives a tinny sound,
Echoing back.
The dogs look at me,
"What's that"?
Our food or water?
What's on order?
Tapping away with all my heart.
Bing!
Bang!
Bong!
Even the birds sing along.

Autumn and the birds left real fast, Autumn's time had past. Winter will bring in a huge contrast, the winds will make the weather forecast.
The land is now covered in pretty white snow, it has a diamond's shinny glow. On the streets one needs to go slow, by air even slow goes the old crow.
The bears winter in a cave, no food they will crave. They are waiting for a heat wave, springtime will make them again brave.

Turtle so slow
Has emerged from below
How does he breathe down there
Without any air
Don’t ask me how
At least not just now
I’m feeling a bit peckish
And could stand a nice fish dish
Earlier, I saw some bass
Hiding here in the grass
Ah, I see you there
Swum by with no care
I will have you my pretty
Though you are itty bitty
With a frawnk and a swoop
I will fly around my loop
What’s that in the deep water
By that pesky old otter
Shinny shad make nice meals
If I can just close the deal
It will never sense my presence
And I will leave only my oily essence
A last lunge and a lurch
And I’m off to my perch
I’m the most graceful of birds by the way
And really should be in a Monet

Rain, Rain, don't fall continuously.
Go, Go ,go away instantly.
Too much raining can cause flood.
Living creatures can die and lose blood.
Sometimes rain can give happiness.
Sometimes it can turn into a stress.
Anything too much is not good.
Every tree are not like Groot.
The smell of rain can give good vibe.
Heavy rain can cause mud in life.
Oh Rain god, just stop right now.
I wish you could hear my words anyhow.
A shinny sky after clouded sky is nice.
Farmers can harvest many fine rice. ??

Life’s goodness may be far or near,
Goodnesses occuring intermittently
Nature wraps it all and up in small bits!
Trekking that narrow lane with growing daffodils on sides, amidst thorny shrubs may be far long and lonely!
You push on, with a tiny little light a far, to keep your hope alive.
Across still ponds, over running streams, you have sitten on campy chairs- shed tears, taken deep breathes and smiled weakly amidst!
In the morrow, the sun beams its rays on you, the green shrubs are shone leafy under the shinny sun!
The branches of hazel trees wave hastily in your honour.
Happiness emanates from within, but life’s beauty and nature are its trigger many times.
Hang in there!
The wait will be worth it!

IN THE CITY
The city shines
But there's no order
To survive you have
to rub shoulders with robbers
Walk with sinners
Shake hands with burglars
Yet you ought to give
Way to the halting vehicles
Mini-skirts, high heels,red lips
Long nails, diamond hair
Shinny bangles and dangling earrings
Roam around
Making money to survive
Black suits, brief cases
shiny shoes and straight ties
Sit in their offices managing their businesses
While others in tights and jeans
Walk with pride on streets
And tinted cars stride along the high ways
In the shanty city
Where evil is mouthed but not spoken
The truth is arcane
And sin is alive
But justice is one sided
Or perhaps absent
Talk about order
No one will care
Everyone seems to be
Cheerfully, steadily and freely
Moving on with life
In the shanty city we creed

Wish i could crawl out of this hole i found myself in.
Living like a renegade, a cripple in a den.
I know what everyone thinks, but it matters little to me
All ive known is inner pain and turmoil.
There where times when those closest to me could have Helped
But turned me away
Keep your hobby lobby room then
Nice like the rocks, buried and pretty and shinny.
Not like I was ever theirs anyway
Though i appreciate the tolerance i guess
Darkness grew in me from the constant rage harnessed in shares
Is it any wonder they didnt like what they did see.
As i always say, i mostly write poetry to cut myself and bleed.
Drain out the thoughts the best i can with words
Hoping they will leave me be
Let me sleep.
As i search myself for answers
Because i know nobody else will give them, you see?

Rugged cliffs against the mountain face
Shown rising from the morning’s mists,
Silvery tan like discarded slate sparkling
Residue of mica in the mineral-rich stone.
Climbers shinny up the mountain face
Slowly, cautiously moving toward a goal,
The summit beckoning to a victory won
Breathless and weary they upward climb.

A BEAUTIFUL LATIN GIRL
From South America I
Find a girl gifted and
endowed with beauty
My humble Latin woman
Of great and terracious honour
Eyes like a tempest blue sea
So pure and chaste
Like Adriatic sea.
Soft body like dew on
Evergreens Flowers
So clean without blemish
Black hairs like a fur
So long like the Nile
Attractive like a magnet
Thousands heart it melts
A woman filled with intelligence
So calm and meek
Tender like a lamp
Not a peacock
So humble and brave
Oh Latin girl
Naturally endowed
With amazing figure
And enormous melons
That supplies quality nutrients.
Like a juice
With spaces between
Her actions
As shade for whoever
She marries
Angelic Latin shinny girl
Like an ivy
Tall like mount Everest
With head to the sky
She is a Latin girl
Can't you see her beauty
I wish you can get one
A latin girl.
