Short Differed Poems

psychotics observe
they see a scripted world
of mindless zombies

young alice was blind
coming from a small village
where nothing differed

alice took a trip
unpredictables galore
and traditions end

these were upon her
on return to village home
her blindness now cured...

Be you,
On you alone
rely.

Rely,
Not on man's vow;
Your hands.

Your hands:
Only true friends,
Play not.

Play not,
In your morning;
Time flies.

Time flies,
Hit the targets;
Save wins.

Save wins,
Days are differed;
Your night.

Your night,
Guide jelously;
Fear God.

Fear God
And worship him -
Good night....

Pattern of arrayed
circle colors regular 
pattern on solid

circumferences large
circle sizes big and small
circle Polka dots

circling hue of views
on top of plain solid sheets
abundantly dips

ever so drops of
differed colors spots shines as
circle Polka dots

Astrologists  with ancient viewS
Seek to predict  what  people dO 

As mirrors of the heaven's climB
By measuring  the sky  and timE.
Oft  I look up  with differed goaL
Valuing where  my soul  may gO
Ever to rise        when buried loW.

The flames flickered and licked
We-men, women and infants
Unknowingly,
They licked up potential 
They licked up dreams
They licked up futures
They innocently licked up hopes

Fires cremated failures and frustrations
Like bulldozers they overhauled and mauled little pockets
Of joys and tears of ghetto residents

Here, they smoked potential
Here, they smoked greatness
Here, they smoked innocence

Things that we'd never known, or will ever ever know!...

My wound happened,
when I was hit,
that happened when I quarrelled,
that happened when I differed,
that happened when we got together,
means that when humans get together,
we develop chances of getting wounds,
yes that is true,
how can we reduce chances,
of getting wounded,
do not differ,
do not quarrel,
do not hit,
or differ and quarrel,
but not hit,
Now my wound is healed,
now I am meeting,
differing and quarreling,
but only with those that would not hit....

I was always told to master my craft.
A lucid mind will flare the future.
Education is sole motive.
So my time I devoted.
Ambitious to succeed
pass expectations.
My drive will pave
my path to
swim in
gold.
Born
into
poverty,
I aim to die
in prosperity.
I guess God's plan differed.
Chose not to stop stray bullets.
Notably the one in my chest.
Too late to see that As can't stop strays
and my revival won't stem from degrees.

Was it by Coincidence or design 
That you came to be mine
if only for the night
The only night I wished for no dawn

We stemed from different worlds 
but we blossomed in our very own 
Our language differed
but our souls understood

Just one night together 
and now most likely a lifetime apart
but even that fact cannot taint 
Our night, our beating hearts 

My soul hopes for yours
And I hope the universe is kind 
and brings us back together 
by coincidence or design...
