Adorable abode of soul
Converts into prison
By the cruel hands
Of passing time...

Convert! Said the Spanish conquistadors.
They were more violent than the Moors.
We put on our mask.
And did what they asked.
Pretending to believe in their Christian lores....

"Marriage after Sunrise"


sunset drunken light
on lavender glass of wine
a long lost tear falls
converts into sleeping pills
dismiss the rain again


 
"Divorce before Sunset"...

Found a friend after he embraces and caresses,
And succeeds when he converts and confesses;
Have head bowed,
And never be loud,
God deep within always feels as he possesses.

Jello mold converts…
frozen believers

Trapped in plain sight,
their freedom to lose

Set in the form,
immobile and suspect

Hope locked in stillness
—unable to move

(Dreamsleep: July, 2021)...

when loneliness converts to solitude

emptiness grants company

for heartfelt contemplation

complements Yin with Yang

without chatter and restlessness

silence speaks volumes

as I listen to my tune

Death shall be your friend
If you decide to let him in
Surely, he shall make amends
That whiskey smile converts to a grin
Who shall know the sweet taste of sin
Provide the soul and he shall win
Through thick and thin, death shall
Be you friend...

Each color has its own distinct beauty
A fusion in a garden converts this diversity
Seen through the souls eye
As a Whole—it is transformed into a rainbow of tulips—completely ample in its own splendor.
Thus,
We embark on to celebrating Nawroz, the New Day....

AWAY YON CONVERT COME HITHER

reaching out for those converts
those whose screaming and yelling stay away alerts

Thoughts of paradise
Swiftly diminish
Into melancholy memories…

Each gripping steadfastly 
Romantic eyes of then and someday
Burnishing our hushed moments of fantasy…

Letting us elude our todays
Which initially, divine in desire
Converts into yearning soon enough…...

A therapist skirts the edge of lunacy
like a priest engages sin

An evangelist disavows poverty and fear
like a snake that sheds its skin 

Together they paint the corridors black
with a promised light to come

Their patients and converts alone in the dark
salvation zero-sum

Since eyerise I have been, 
a bucket full of grins. 
May tomorrow come yet, 
if all’s implied is sin. 
For life is true, once again, 
blessed eyeset becomes a welcomed end. 
When tomorrow’s love begins with friend, 
hate dissipates into the wind. 
Fear’s no longer the coin I spend, 
courage converts to salve that mends....

Most of my flying now
is restricted to planes,
feet less able to 
“trip the life fantastic” -- 

age having slowed fast living
to delayed starts and early
finishes – 

joining the genuflecting
lines, many of us
striving for sainthood
in latter years, fingering
rosaries – chanting on knees

converts 
at Altar of years…....

S-hine brightly and radiantly
A-s the lights of the world; 
N-ews of great salvation is conveyed through God's word.

L-et the true message
O-f the Lord be proclaimed; 
R-edouble your efforts, 
E-vangelizing by His name.
N-ew converts come from
Z-one of the darkness; 
O-nly after they're enlightened, they'll gain lasting happiness....

Country music brings me

     Comfort when I'm weary

          Cheer when I'm unhappy-

               Chanted by Hank Williams

          Conveyed by Johnny Cash-

     Converts a frown to smile-

Changing my perspective.

When Sun delivers shine skin starts to burn,
Body is seeking protection from sharp rays.
Water vaporises and converts as clouds,
Rain comes and air delivers weather cold.

My son came to me and asks about natural system,
Why does rain come down, why don’t clouds go up?
If water evaporates with the heat waves,
And how clouds stay in the sky to cover rays?...

After a lazy and dull 
Season of winter, 
coming of the Spring 
Causes a pleasant change 
in the nature. 

Which prepares green stage, 
on which, colorful flowers smile, 
and cuckoos sing. 
It converts the earth 
into a theatre. 

Keen cool wind becomes a humble host. 
It receives the boon of the season. 
To fill all the 
Joyful feelings 
In each creature....

She sits alone,
 Her skeleton
 Pressed, molded,
 Wrought by an empty heart.
 She sings
 A forlorn song,
 Purse empty,
 Neighbors drift afar,
 Afraid to be there,
 They point and stare,
 Material junk
 Seals their hearts.
 She wears
 A heart heaving
 With aches and prayers,
 A binding truth and love
 She strives to share
 But others’ fear
 Converts to glare,
 And not one steps near....

Feel crystal clear:
Cheer converts fear;
Love floods you dear,
For joy lives here.


Seize moments brisk:
Dare thus to live;
Prize happy crisp,
Dare then to give.


Touch is well paid:
Act funds sure proof;
It’s simply said:
Beauty is truth.


Ply your kind smiles:
Touch with your heart;
Love fits your style,
Purpose grooms art.

Three witches
by one sword drawn
from heaven at the
inching of day
thrice regarded, naught
but once slain
for high treason by jury
though not of sound mind
idolatrous fancy its credo
and kind
but divine be certain mercy
oft a misnomer of fools
for whom heresy converts
in the shallowest pool
therefore say the witches let
fate run her course
when the fire avenges
let it be from our source...

Why does your religion
have to disfavor mine
To speak to its converts
and prattle Divine

Foundations this slanted
are poised for a fall
Appeasing their zealots
who follow and maul

More killed by religion
in His holy name
Than famine and pestilence
ever can claim

The tenets left foreign
to God’s true intent
Epiphanies barren
—all grace to relent

(Villanova University: December, 2021)...

Her ink has dried, her stories spun
On distant shores, her songs are sung

Her words still dance, around the flame
Of burning memories, that brought her fame

Tho weak and frail, at this late hour
Her words of strength, still hold their power

Each time her verse is read aloud
Her converts gather, now quite a crowd

Knowing well, her time will end
Content, her words, we all depend
