To Err Is Human

Yes, 

I admit that "to err is human"

but

to keep on erring is foolishness!

Silent Stars

Silent stars wake the sleeping skies,
and tales by moonlight melt our hearts.
Nature nurtures our erring eyes...
dreams descend as silence impart.

Wrong

It was the erring of my song
not that my fate was still.
Oh truth, some absence there belong
while all the buttress nil!

Encourage so, the struggle's row
lest I become among
the solid hope, that cannot cope
but wishes, wishes ~ wrong!

king of being alone

just like a message
you turn me on
erring on the side of caution
all i wanted
was your voice 
like a teenage dream
you haunt me
all the pathos you can reach
new broom to sweep
long legged candy yet
dancing strictly alone

Love Is

L oving arms receiving back an erring child
O pen heart preparing to be reconciled
V elvet skin of new-born on a mother's breast
E verlasting hope which gives the spirit rest.

Barrister

Being able  to face and
Blame erring fellows when
Brutal actions are done,
Bringing out justice from
Brave heart without fear of
Blacklisting and arrest,
Beneath all these, she’s kind.

It Is My Habit

It is my habit I cannot hate
I love whom the world despises
what is so precious, my heart abhors
the common swimming pool
is not attractive to me in anyway
my nakedness it cannot taste
if a thousand is wrong and erring
glad that I stand alone for truth
that never withers

Unthinking

Earth was sending a long 
shadow on the moon.
A great night for both of them.

        *

A city of dreams 
lies still. A divine path 
opens for the erring earthlings.

        *

A night falls 
surreptitiously on the lake.
The moonlight was trapped by waves.

Compressed Climates

Numberless climates, the depraved world is swimming in gravy in climatic types, (Situations, Positions) the hour essences, high- and low- pressure, erring vital organ cleaning, rehearse prayer, scrub the intellect and soul in company with a air compressor. Be pleased for having lessor.

Howling At Love

Howling
Like the wolf cries
Screaming foreboding skies
Yelling for your love till sunrise
The erring echoes of your love reprise
Tangled tears that follow surmise
Bitter sorrows capsize
With empty eyes
Howling

Mosquitos Agony

They fight to death
Drenched by thirst
No need to resist-
Their Waterloo 
They met

They sip little
And leave the jar
Harmless, they are-
They purge that little
Hope for more, undeterred

Do they last days?
Before they're taken preys
By the erring humans-
This austerity doesn't heal
Their agonies I feel

Rx Options

RX options.. 
I was on a medication of deception,
Didn’t stop and make correction,
To the lies that I believed,
You don’t just wake up one morning deceived,
So if the doctor writes that prescription,
Ill let the truth be the inscription,
On the walls in the rooms of my heart,
To view when an erring voice starts.

Fools and Kings

fools
                misguided, gullible
        blundering, stultifying, erring
dunderheads, imbeciles, rajas, emperors
     reigning, succeeding, conquering
                 powerful, mighty
                         kings

May Day

Alone, all alone stand I
As the merciless waves 
loose rage on this old oak 
vessel.
Alas, the Captain long gone
Hears not the yell of an 
erring Deck Hand.
Asleep was I when abandon 
ship was sounded
Now I know not which to 
save
My helpless self or this half 
sunk vessel?
Both long doomed to crawl 
the depth of this restless 
sea.

Erring On the Side

If caution is the side on which 
You are supposed to err,
It’s possible to overdo it,
So you should beware.

It may be better letting time
Or nature take its course
And then you wouldn’t suffer from
Annoyance or remorse.

There is a line to draw between
What’s prudent and what’s dumb,
But sometimes fear kicks in and makes
It easy to succumb.

Coffeeshop Romance


it was the autumn of our lives
being no longer the fools of our youth
that naive twinkle in our eyes long gone
erring these days on the side of caution
our guards wired and circumspect
explanations not needing to be formulated
being much too late to play the lovers' serenade
but still ~ it was pure velvet to the core

recycled reflections

crawling words
slithering
waiting for something

questions without answers
in the zone of twilight rerror
Oh No!

erring inhumanly
gaslighting
becoming gas

volcanic eruption
savage rays
in the breezy trees

insanely iconic
epic hunt
beyond reason

a dangerous game
a masked requiem for a virulent era
a robotic rumination

fleeing...
raging rubble
deliverance...?

The Eternal Light

Mystery was much better,

It was bit by bit some relation.

There was thinking,

There was feeling,

There was waiting.

Now nothing left except

Some unbearable unfitness.

Whom to I am weak

All sayings seems erring there.

Sometimes

Expression goes onerous,

Expression makes the end.

What else is new more?

Let me lit the light rather.

For me, for you too.

Delightful Disorder

A sweet disorder in the dress kindles
In clothes a wantonness; a stole about
The shoulders thrown, a fine distraction; an
ErrIng Lace, which here and there enthralls the
Crimson Vest; a cuff neglectful, ribbons
Flow confusedly: a winning wave (note)
In the tempestuous petticoat: a 
Careless shoe-string, in whose tie I see a
Wild civility: does more bewitch me, 
Than Art when too precise in ev'ry part.

Long Ago In Bethlehem Town

Long ago in blessed Bethlehem… Triumphant Town
The prince of peace from the holy heavens came down
Born by a virtuous virgin, lovely laid in a mere, manger
Peace to the world, from now on we cease to be strangers

Joy to the world, the Lord is come to the erring earth,
And he shall save his people from their sinful strength
His name shall be called Emmanuel, Eternal God with us
Wonderful, wise, white, whole and worthy… Jesus

Humility

Humility is the soil
the tithe I reach within
when erring in transpiring
I wreak and rant in vim.

Futility is the manhunt
my soul would want to seek
when cost is not aspiring
or goals are too oblique.

So let me grow with reason
the seeds I bear, not speak
but plant in silence,knowing
my virtues, in my keep.

And let the Lord so nourish
with measures that will win
 ~ but for myself, choose merit
that thee will find in Him!
