Short Bitterest Poems

All these years I believed in your sincerity,
bonded by blood and common destiny,
I sacrificed all to let you live and breathe easier...
and has that made your load much lighter? 
Don't be someone I can't trust anymore...distrust can be
the bitterest word to break the strongest love very quickly....

As now into a holy mountain my soul makes
Pilgrimage to your side,
My heart unto your lips ascends,
For it is my heart that bears its kiss,
And in that swift-footed moment it 
Trembles there, a captive sparrow,
Who'd taste of an eternal nectar,
A sweet elixir of bitterest joy
And thusly drunk take flight 
To the very reaches of Love's 
Full orbit....

Old is gold,
But gold is cold.

Time is money,
But money is worry.

Night is sweet,
But sweet leads to diabetese.

Laughter is the best medicine,
But medicine is bitterest.

Mind is smart,
But smart leads to egoistic.

Therfore everything has a disadvantage,
We have to convert it to an advantage.

Coz abilities are always with us,
But we should be with abilities

Suffering is good for the Immortal Soul,
its payback time for when you stole,
a husband from his wife? in another life,
Far beyond your control?
Logic of the universe!
Flows ironic and inverse,
T'ween Birth and the bloody hearse,
unknown your sin so droll,
the bitterest gall you hold,
be nasty it gets worse,
just do your time i'm told!
Suffering your time in the Earth.

Entangled in a web of my own making,
Wrapped in arteries and veins forsaking
Their true purpose to enrich my heart,
These like pulsing vines tearing me apart
I cry out in bitterest anguish for my life,
Possessed in these last moments of strife
Free me from these strangling, barred jails,
And let me embark anew in billowing sails.

Bitter it is that I must live in the moment
And strive to keep the future at bay
Say not what I want so dearly to scream
But firmly I cannot
True friendship, bitter love
Grips me by the heart and holds me back
The poets say it is the greatest joy
But to me the bitterest sacrifice
To care so much at last
And to realize at the very same moment
To see plainly that I can’t
Beg him to stay
To love,
Nor to ignore my tears and pain...

A face with the bitterest frown,
For long years expecting a crown;
Now in prickly sweat bathed
And A Tongue is scathed …

It’s really an awful spectacle,
Facing no challenge, no obstacle,
As reported by his mirror
Doing so without error;
Ability he’s got and Agility
And all his life no infirmity.

So, why is he, Chief Favor
Facing Monarchical Disfavor;
For long years living for a crown
And it’s public knowledge in a far-off town?...

wish I cud paint a beautiful art
and in dreams your words flying to my heart
a woman's desire for Nirvana !
... I would spend my life in this blissful pride
heaven and earth by my side

poetry breaths with love
the pure verses from your lips
heals the bitterest wounds
my heart yearns for your presence
a romantic song of innocense

If on earth you ever feel
here is my heart to believe
merge into my dreams
be the river
to this stream......

Mourning has broken

Mourning has broken...
my spirit and will
Despair I have swallowed...
my bitterest pill

I  never imagined...
my soul needed to purge
So with anguish burning...
I compose this dirge

I've had spectral visions...
haunt me in my dreams
Spinning my meditations...
into nightmarish schemes

My pitiful illusions...
scatter in depth of night
Mourning has broken...
darkness conquers daylight

Someone once wrote -
You needn't wait for sadness,
For it'll come for sure, abundantly,
And reside in you.

He also wrote -
In sadness,
Even a starving man will disagree to eat
A loaf of bread handed out to him,
But cry holding it on his chest,
For he can no longer live without his hunger.

And I write -
The bitterest sadness is
When you come to know,
You've hurt someone who traded the universe 
For you.
How do you know? -
You may ask.
Answer is -
I've done it....
