Pandemics don't come with waivers
Pandemics don't exchange favours
From beginning to end
Whether loved one or friend
Pandemics produce cadavers!...

Day and nights delicate embrace
That moment one becomes another
Fortune never favours their meet
night seems lost within grief
day spurns time in haste...

Truth
is the great Star
that leads the wise.

Honesty
a kiss on the lips
for those who prize
her favours.

But love
sees beyond the truth
to sprinkle 
the star light
on dull earths....

disappointment

Loss of innocence
Corruption is commonplace
Endemic racism
A judicial system 
That favours the rich
Lies are the new truth
How could it come to this?
Once I loved the USA...

Sun is beating
Body's heating
Await the meeting
Of my love

Thoughts are fleeting
Touches needing
Eyes are pleading 
For my love

Now he enters
In he saunters
Bearing favours
For his love...

favours asked, sets into motion
ripples emoting emotion
universe may bind or be kind
yet boundless joy we never find
save sipping, divine love potion

jostling in the garden
bees and wasps compete
for the flower's favours

perched on a petal
butterfly uncoils its tube
then injects the flower

a gust of wind
the dried leaf leaps up
and dances in the air...

Deliciously decadent with cream it surrenders
Surprisingly light and airy it endeavours
Lustily I fill my mouth with its sweet favours
Smoothly if envelops my oesophagus 
Quietly it enters my reaches so warmly...

Want to rid the traumas
Of your frown laden head?
Visit the cemetery,
And give it to the dead;

They seek not like mortals
In dented greedy urns,
Small favours once bestowed 
That was done for returns.

for the Kurds, 
No friends no brothers 
helpless Nation, 
disgraced, abused, no boosters
The world folded-blind 
While genocided by the neighbours
Because we are being the Kurds 
despite all,
we remain calm and, 
treat the life with favours...

soft breeze favours first flutter 

floating through the blue 

on these wings of poetry

I enter your paradise

Chance favours, chance taunts,
Now is one man’s hour to rise,
But ten men’s dreams it haunts,
Its humor none can surmise. 

Heed not the next irony of fate, 
Till you and final verdict meet. 
I’d sooner wake to destiny late,
Than grovel at Fortune’s feet....

you tore me to shreds
with idiot lies and rumours
try me again
one word is enough
i won't wait around you'll see
bad decision
one more time
i'm done for
but do you think you do me favours? 
do you think you mend me?
consider me before
you tear me

Carry no flowers nor candles
Pray carry good wishes instead, 
It would be more honourable
And a respite for all those dead.

They know how to return favours
Grateful like no mortals could be,
Those buried are far more adept
At lessons in civility.

Love-Wisdom-Power attributes
When acquired in fullness 
To God’s will our soul contributes 
Deeds done in blissfulness 

Fortune favours the bold
Here now within behold
The trinity threefold

A world-being; a creature of flesh
When not otherwise engrossed!
Of which vision sends me, a soul
A quiver-flame, into
Ecstatic heights; Love's true!

Earthly beauty, to whom hath eyes.
But so transparently fair
Sparkles in all its refinements.
Fairy favours; each one!
Of this blessed mortal won!...

Encompassed by his perfect love
I feel no consternation.
Unearthliness draws thoughts above,
Release from condemnation.
In reverence I gaze in awe
And apathy shall reign no more
For predilection favours adoration.

Love can bring peace home and abroad 
God is Everything please love God 
For your betterment do good work 
Rock the stadium won’t you rock 
Shower your favours don’t tall talk 
When you can run fast please don’t walk 
Don’t make yourself a laughingstock 
Don’t keep wisdom by key and lock
Make the world daylight one o’clock...

Their income was stretched really tight
Sid’s wife had to ‘Walk in the night’
She’d offer her favours
With not many waivers 
He’d try not to get too uptight

Once home she gave hugs to their kid
Gave nineteen pounds fifty to Sid
His ire was intense
‘Who paid fifty pence?’
Her answer was, ‘All of them did!’...

Grace comes to call,
Love offers hints;
Imprint no gall,
Mind how life hints;
Play in the rain,
See sense in breeze;
Etch subtle strain,
Stay simple squeeze.
Wise ways work well,
Insert fond thoughts;
Thrill favours spell,
Hurl a fond plot;
Intuit and feel,
Now how time heals.

Lavish love lives
Obvious joy gives


A gift of heart
Soul mellows strait


Peace of mind lights
What wonder sights


Awe is a gift
That now uplifts


Choice favours poise
In willing voice


Live beyond time
Sense flavours mime


The gift of soul
Makes touch one whole

Peace for our times
Work chime and rhyme


Peace plunders proof
Time favours truth

~~~~~~~~~


Shrewd sighting here
Charm courts cool cheer


Feel fancy flip
Free lucky dip

~~~~~~~~~


Here on the brink
Sip a fine drink


Dance dreamy flash
Buzz with sure jazz

Heed hurting heart
Aid ample art


Walk winding way
Pace prudent pay


Faith favours fate
Dance dazzles date


Hope heaps huge highs
Sense serious sighs


Love leaps laughing
Soul stars speaking


Treasure tough times
Rich ripples rhyme


Be beyond blame
Seek success same
