Fifty words is quite a few
But way too few to say
I love you.
Flowery prose is quite nice
and poet’s pen writes it twice
But I will say it thrice…
Every dream begins with you
My heart beats just for you
My soul has peace because of you.
Whenever there's a friend in need,
but, he's too proud to say,
don't wait for him to ask for help'
be there for him - okay!
Friend's can be a Lifeline,
in times of stress and strife!
They can make a world of difference,
on this road, we know as life!

Words are fun,
you know.
They convey
many things.
Feelings such as;
happiness, anger,
fear, and sorrow.
Just to name a few.
Words can tell
a history,
your own,
your people,
or even others too.
Words can even
Lie to yourself,
And your fellow man.
Be careful
with your words.
Legend has it
She cast her spell to gain his love
With a lock of his hair and feather of a dove
He murdered her on all hallows night
Then planted a pumpkin on her grave site
White as her hair the pumpkin did grow
Legend says it is so
Wow 50 words burns up quick
that was harder than i thought
it would be.
It is sweet and available but deadly,
I cannot do without taking it all the time,
even if the effects on my health are costly,
getting hyperactive is not a crime,
backache and fatigue are my normal visitors,
stomach pain and extreme pile are auditors,
much sugar,diabetes is near!

Chatting with Hyrum, my husband asked him
what he was watching on TV. He
raved about the show his grandpa’s
phone call had interrupted.
There was a lull. . . and then
this four-year-old kid
said, “What am I
still talking
with you
for?”

I used to believe in things
thoughts were proof of belief
but nothing tangible
could ever be held in hand
these are the things
commanded by faith
it is the leap you proudly make
not knowing where you will land
but strong enough to face anything
believing in his presence

Awakened with need to visit restroom, did make that run
Dizziness hits with faintiness, feelings of passing totalily out, falling
Ambulance was called early in morn; Princess could have outrun
How could anything so slow bounce and twist when crawling
Snail's pace arrived alive, then Manatee pace looked after appalling

You’re only interested in a god
A god so transparent he’s left unseen
This hidden god desires to take your soul
And break your soul into many pieces
Which he’ll do within time…he’ll crush your soul
And leave you helpless without a way out
The god of money’s quite harsh

Come, let's do anything but this
Sit and speak of those we miss
For I, the man filled with pride
For you, the mom who held you inside
We could share sorrows for hours
this unrequited love that cowers
Happiness waits around the bend
Come, let's call the other friend

Two trees stand tall outside our home,
They are huge, spread like a dome,
The Summer heat melts beneath their shade,
Their medicinal values are of top grade,
In India, found commonly by the roadside,
It's a must in temple worship worldwide,
Blessed, we to have these trees esteemed ~

Through these lips
sorrows pass
bound to slip
seldom last.
Behind smiles
secrets said
all the while
kept in red.
Whisper cries
from the heart
tender ties
love may start.
Lipstick likes
to make marks
takes all types
to send sparks.
Touch these lips
don't dare miss
passing ships
with a kiss.

I adore observing a stunning sunset,
when summer is drifting towards fall.
Ruby red tinged clouds I can’t forget -
they are the most glorious sight of all!
Twilight’s arrived, to another day I must bid adieu
as scarlet skies transform to an inky velvety blue.

I died one thousand deaths for you,
with this pain I may never know
how to love again-
arthritis swells my fingers and
I am left remembering the last
time you warmed them
if you needed light
I'd rope the sun;
since you left
I’ve come undone
~one thousand deaths~

By The Light Of The Silvery Moon
Man seizes the ramble of a wayward moon,
Echoes clear its pale look melancholy tune,
It lends a trail took before of song and face,
Man ambles in the real feel of its sung grace,
Glimpse that all the creator has caused to be,
Harmony feels to express nature's beauty.

In our vessel's journey our passage finds
The stream, the bird, the arts divine
A refuge of joy and compass within our minds
And seas that carried our ships destined voyage
Should storms that lash to test our courage
Will find that love and strength our lessons refined
To find our harbor so content and sublime

He wandered away from troubles
but he never gets tired of solving
whatever he does…
always with heart and soul.
He stayed strong through many hardships.
Whoever tries to strike him down,
he still rises without holding back.
He keeps walking--
even when the road is not easy today too.

50 WORDS
The man with the rope asked for last words - so
I stepped to the edge and looked calmly down:
That’s a dangerous edge, I said - some unlucky
guy could get hurt if he fell -
I mean he could easily break
His leg or arm -
if really unlucky,
maybe his
neck.

Good, bad
Glad, sad
Moods shown
Through sharps
And flats;
Deep bold
Sounds from
The top
Tier can
Be heard
Both far
And near;
Soft C
Scale sets
At rest
Till pressed
By soft
Light touch;
Black, White
Dark, Light
No hue
In sight,
But in
The mind
That’s blind;

She was supposed to come at
12-30, I heard sounds of quiet footsteps
crunching through the autumn leaves
outside but there was none except a tree
with a lot of branches all in black silhouette
behind which stood gorgeous
halloween moon
Soon a figure
emerged in half-light
Was it she

***********************************************************************************************************
A silent silver ball
On the heavenly sky,
It paints a rounded doll,
Where hidden wonders lie.
The shadows softly creep,
Whispering in the air,
While hidden secrets sleep
Beyond all earthly care.
A balm for weary eyes,
A mellifluous grace,
Beneath the starlit skies
It finds its rightful place.
My love -
When you
leave I
feel black
all day.
Hands hit
up down
your tune
I play.
You in
my heart
high low
notes flow.
But my
keys are
cold as
white snow.
Black night
brings tears
they fall
like rain.
Come soon
touch my
soul take
my pain.
