Short Abided Poems

No meaning
No strife,
Yesterday's love has died.
The sea reflects her mood
The crumpled shore has sighed.

And so it seems
The game is done;
The rules no longer matter.
Boundaries abided by entities,
Have gone to roses and dust....

His sloppy slipshod attitude
Was picked up by both daughters
His son took after his wife
A minimalist who never abided a mess
The son never let the hoarders into his house
Losing touch with his father and his sisters
Choosing neatness and cleanliness over people
Just as his mother had done....

If only, all had faith in the Lord,
And abided by His written Word.

If only, all would simply believe,
His love would be easy to receive.

If only, belief wasn’t based on sight,
Faith, in Him, by all could shine bright.

If only, more would heed His Word,
We wouldn’t live in a world so absurd....

You always stand tall,
Oh! My speaking Idol.
Whenever I score null,
You save me from near fall.
You motivate when I sit dull,
Say don't stop,learn to crawl.
Only I can hear you in all,
Rest are abided by the protocol.
You are not just a symbol,
Oh! My speaking Idol.
I am blessed to receive your call,
Which sounds sweet like a waterfall....

There abided an old dude in Dunkirk

   Who was a deacon in the parish kirk

      He cast his lecherous eyes

         On ladies' keisters and thighs

            He was renowned about town for this quirk

"Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." ~Rumi



Entangled eons collided

     Where familiar hearts resided

          The day our eyes engaged.

               And a quickening abided:

                    I'd loved you long unsighted--

                         Like coming home assuaged.

I have lived under your shadow for years
I have always done your will
I have abided by your do's and don'ts
I am done doing that right now
I just can't love you no more.


My heart is no longer with you
I am happy with some other guy
You no onger the guy i once fell in love with
Our hearts are far apart despite the close distance
We are better off seperated.


I JUST CAN'T LOVE YOU NO MORE ..!...

She raised her wings and flew 
                        its as if she knew what to do 
                                              into the magnetic skies so blue 
                                                                 she soared,  
A Starsmore Dove, 
                                               the earth abided and she grew.

1000 colorful shadows float around my head
rejoicing in the depths of solitude
they take no heed
singing to the skinless drum
Fate has a circular charm
Tin soldiers caught in the fire
with three madman awaiting their charge
The hounds in their hundreds chase the singular fox

Standing on the hill
dark giving in to light
I cried
kissed the cities outskirts
the abided moonlight
skirted the countryside

                                        A stocking hung with care for me
                                                    Only simple tree
                                          Mostly placed  was gift or two

Home Sweet Home


Everyone should have 
a home to love
a place so safe
morning mist, blankets thick

When we wander out
in the world today
as visitors, manners politely abided by
never moaning insults loudly cried

If you wish to cajole 
and complain
lets send you off to bistro stars
on the very next star-ship plane

travelers should always smile
treading softy on Persian carpet
quiet is 
the voice that observes new ways

thus deceit discarded, buried...
