gush of emotion
pent up feelings
burst forth as release
recalibrated midway
by spherical vision
auto correcting
our direction
by grace

a welcome maid in a dirty

Artists have great roles.
Correcting what is wrong.
Checking what is false.
And advocating for what is right.
Not instigators of conflicts.
Not as well crafter of falsehoods.
I love you, artist.

Ten minutes of solitary free time
at the end of class, they’re correcting their tests
I have nothing to correct
Oh! Dream of physics!
Oh! Dream of astronomy!
Oh! Dream of Chinese thought!
Oh! Dream of writing!
Oh! Dream of love!...

The Argument 

                     words
             intent, defensive
      explaining, correcting, hurting
   feelings, spirits, relations, screams
      alarming, regretting, begging
                forlorn, fragile
                       pleas

palms and feet radiate magnetic heat
with the supple spine, a divine implant,
making us feel from head to toe complete,
the cosmic prayer, our breath by breath chant,
correcting the stance of our ego’s slant
that thus as we so become the bliss flame,
our vaporised Self is left with no aim...

God I constantly do wrong things
Think the wrong thoughts
Wrong ways
When am I ever going to be mistake proof?
You are going to be so busy with me
So be warned
I just don’t know why I keep thinking the wrong thing
Wrong way of every subject that there is
And you keep correcting me
Aren’t you getting tired God?...

Besides competitions;
Besides being "liked"
or my poems getting comments,
I want to become a better
poet each day by reading other
people's poems,
and correcting mistakes my fellow poets
see in my work.
Poetry Soup is also a virtual family-
it is another home for me;
my mind is at rest in this site.......

sinful acts committing 
shallow desires feeding 
stupor bliss throb stifling
seeds ego spawned spewing
soiled thoughts heart contracting 
stance needing correcting
soul requiring cleansing

Mother
                              Selfless, irreplaceable
                        Loving, correcting, sacrificing
                   Best friend, adviser, ally, confidante
                   Understanding, helping, supporting
                               Special, trustworthy

I  see
Your fall
Instead of
Picking up
I brush you off
But allow
To take
A try
Again.

I see
Your mistakes
Instead of
Correcting
I let you
To find
Your own way
Though silently
I drink
Poisonous pain


I see you cry
Instead of
Wiping out
I let you
To shed tears
To wash
The dart
Accumulated
Long
Inside
To see
The things
Clean and afresh....

She was supposed to be the office underdog.
She had less experience than the rest of us.
Less credentials than the mail opener.
No one told her she was not supposed to come in 
acting like the overdog.
She strutted, bragged, barked, demanded.
Correcting the rest of us.
Showing off knowledge that was minimal.
She did not last the week....

Once again, here we are celebrating
Fathers through out the globe
With a cheer, with a smile
Thank you, dad, for being my guide
Thank you for being a friend
Thank you for supporting me 
Thank you for tolerating my flings
Thank you for correcting my wrongs
Thank you for staying strong
Thank you for being around
Dad you are special to me....

I guess, next to actual
transfiguration, writing
is closest I will ever come
to sainthood.  Not that 
everything about me
needs correcting, the 
old nun would scold me
with a suspicious smile – 
for more than once I saw 
her sneak a candy from her
top desk-draw, just before 
lunch, and the Sacrament
of Grace...

I forgave her
with a smile.......

heartbreaks 
soul aches 
they teach us
impermanence 
thereby correcting
our orientation 
to be void centric
moment by moment
breath by breath
embracing and releasing
the rising and subsiding
of waves of emotion
as they ebb and flow
that we finally get to 
vibrant nonchalance 
in a mood celebratory 
flowing through life
leaving no residue

You sing to me
another day
To keep me from going 
the wrong way
I've trusted in you
for many years
My love is strong
through all the tears
Even though 
We're far apart
I hold you dear 
to my heart
You see me as 
your Angel of Light
As life moves forward
correcting wrong to right
An eternal love 
to have for each other
Soon I pray to be 
with one another...
