In measures of heart
we choose our fragility
in fortresses of loving
by practical arrangements
bottled up messages sink

Hence, how with time courageousness and bravery vaporized.
How kings used to withdraw their swords alongside their noble soldiers and
how presidents now cower behind their fortresses of weapons of mass destruction.

Impenetrable fortresses built from stones of regret,
reinforced with concrete mistakes we can never forget.
Confined within these walls only your guilt shall dwell.
The cruelest prisons are the ones that we build for ourselves.

reenforced with the concrete of mistakes we can never forget.

Impenetrable fortresses built from the many stones of regret,
re enforced with the concrete mistakes we can never forget.
Confined within these walls only your guilt shall dwell.
The cruelest prisons are the ones that we build for ourselves.

Impenetrable fortresses constructed with stones made from regret,
reinforced with the concrete mistakes one can never forget.
Confined within these walls only you and your guilt shall dwell.

Impenetrable fortresses constructed from stones made of regret,
reinforced with the concrete of mistakes we can't let go or forget.
Confined within these walls only you and your guilt shall dwell.
The cruelest prisons are the ones that we build for ourselves.

Roses are red
Violets are violet
Oh look I see my love in its full glory
Standing in the wasteland like it's guardian
It's massive cannon aims at the enemy Giving them a warm welcome
I can't wait to see you In a fashion of explosions.
Perhaps who I am for you to be bothered
For all I know
I'm just a big gun enthusiast.

White, billowy, fleeting.
Floating aimlessly through
The blue summer sky.
Silently towering above me.
Building fortresses, monuments,
Sailing ships...
Animals... Faces...
Constantly moving and changing.
Going wherever the wind takes them
Like free spirits.
On a lazy summer afternoon
I could sit for hours
And watch the
Clouds.

I do not know?
I googled peace
to get the feel of how
she fared
and
found her fight her
roughened way into
men's bosoms and
fortresses
and shuttle back
and forth
between heaven
and
heavy hearts
* * *
and then…
and then I browsed
for war
and with a gaping eye
I watched
the endless edging of a khaki
garb
and Oh the omnipresence

Re : Old Poems
Bells of triumph clang,
Fortresses fain to hail thee
Men of valiant swords.
Glories thence fell, crowns crumbled
To dust, no wailings were heard.
,,
The wind about thy sceptre howl and cry,
Loft precipices trampled;
Ruined rich piles of graves.

Verse
Pyramids are scattered
in a flat plane,
as red dust blows
once in a while.
For millennia,
we have read stories
of "flying fortresses"
or vimanas to Hindus,
"flying shields" to Alexander
the Great,
and "flying eggs" to the Dogon
The distant travelers
were revered as gods from the stars;
gods who know us very well;
gods who are us a million years from now....

Their elegance astounds you,
Gowns and suits of the finest fabrics,
Palaces and houses,
Like fortresses strong and sophisticated,
They sweep the universe,
With their trips of honor,
Complicated and diversified,
Loveable and likeable,
Like we are and always have been,
They read like a romance novel,
Chapter by chapter,
A James Bond novel well-written.

Is it possible to live
in this world without pain...!?
Painlessly...!?
No... but we can
build fortresses
with pure feelings
to understand and learn
the need for learning...
learn to accept and have power
to mitigate this pain while we live
because everything belongs
to the whole of what life is,
and live together.
it's needed...
