Short Change Your Tune Poems

Who give me cold comfort
when the Moon rides the pale
I see the mice pass the silho
and then I praise  Schubert
who has the courage to change his tune

There's a man on a bicycle
he has no choice
but to ride the upturned mile
in search of his brother...

Spare me your dull platitude
I'm really not in the mood
It's time to change your tune
Or eat your steak by spoon
~ Time I give YOU attitude!

Expansion into light
The subtle radiant pulse
Power of tiny, flickering probabilities

Know the mind grows cold and stale
When impaled on doubt and searching
Fighting for clout and certainty

Universal gyrations plug in swiftly
Tempting magnetic minds to change their tune
Erupt in song, nature sings along

Life battery resets for new adventure...

Tennis balls in the court of life
Come back faster than speed of light
Some have anger attached 
Having no control over petty thought
Choosing not to play the field 
Called negative ream
Lighten up change the tune
As the world turns 
Moments do not come back to relive
We only get one chance at events 
Entitlements teased
Wasted efforts 
Pitty no one...

You're such a prat,
it's abundantly clear,
when it comes to women,
you have no idea!

You're a complete idiot,
you got it all wrong.
Change your tune,
sing  a different song.

Why do you come
 knocking at my door?
When it's plainly obvious
I don't want you anymore.

Stop holding onto something
that is gone.
Time to change path,
time to move on....

The evil are coward
They come not in their colours
But often wear the masks of love
And speak the language of church
To seek entry where angels dwell.

Good to hold tight your broom
And keep your joker like inheritance
So when a Nicodemus comes to throne
And corruption becomes  national  anthem,
You shall sweep away the plague with one
And change the tune with the other....

Is waiting in line at the store
More than just an occasional bore?

Is it vexing aggravation
Leading to complete frustration?

Well, this is just a state of mind
When you're waiting in a line

What you need's to change your tune
And make a vow to do it soon

Resolve to others to be kind
Make a friend; you've got the time

If you do this, you will find
That line is now a real gold mine...

Life is already crafted like a melody
It’s a tune that is pitched with comedy and insanity

But our lesson-ears must accept it gladly and always listen to it carefully

Life is already crafted like a melody
We are bound to be moody
Sometimes we can be happy
Amidst all, its ceaseless sound inspires
Us 
To 
Be steady
And ready

Cos you never know when and where it’s going 
To 

Change its tune...

Dewy morning
Dusty night
Life is forming
In dark and light
If love is great
And life is grand
Is it my fate
To hold your hand
My love holds true
And I am loyal
My love for you
Will never spoil
I love you now
As I did then
I'd tell you how
But shy of when
Do not deserve you
I feel of me
Would never hurt you
I hope you see
Wish you did feel
The same as I
We'd take the wheel
Give love a try
My love won't bend
Or change in tune
Good night my friend
I'll see you soon...
