What richer state than content?
What sweeter life than quiet?
A gratified mind rests on its laurels!

Gratified Was Ratified So Will Abide

Our goal was greeted then ratified;
We are greatly pleased and gratified;
Then do find,
In our mind,
And by all of the rules we will abide.

Sun sets, sky glows cerise.
Throw the nets, catch showpiece.
     Fish abound, birds take off
     All fly round, it's payoff
Birds last meal, night is nigh
Strange feel, gratified high.

Real poets don’t make lasting friends
they shun fraternity
Their truth like gritty sandpaper
abrasive when intoned   
The reader may be gratified 
with what the words uncover
More likely though the pain involved
— will cut them to the bone

Time has been kind,	
the lines round
your eyes
and mouth
speak of smiles
not tears.

I remember
our first smile
as you, 
lithe and tanned
looked up 
to meet my eyes
and am gratified that 
you remember too.

Long ago
but the lines 
of that smile
trace our life.

Oh death, death, death
When will you feast be over?
When will you be gratified?
When will get exhausted?
when will all your energy be used up?
When will you excuse yourself?
When will your own spell come to you?
When will your heart be content?
For all of us are  anxious for you retirement...

 Resounding
echoes of mauve
endowed
gratified bliss
to my gravest woe.
Life’s heedless
demands,
I fear not-
Though I’ve
sought rain in
weak moments,
my hidden nature
of love always kindles 
my
empyrean soul.

Fruit of The Heart

There scarcely abound happiness
In hearts that nurture no forgiveness:
While the 'unforgiven' is fettered
The 'unforgiving' is also burdened!

Forgiveness' fruit of the bosom
Bourne from the heart's blossom;
While the Grower's heart's gratified
The Picker's thirst's also satisfied!

We all seek happiness
But what is happiness have you ever pondered?

When our senses are gratified
We experience happiness

At the moment when we are happy
Mind is satiated.

This means absence of desires
contentment
satiation 
gives happiness

If we are desireless, thoughtless
we would become eternally happy

Dust flew from crisp corn stalks as she fell to beaten knees 
She raised her callus stricken hands towards the heavens
Painfully smiling due to a sunburned soul and age
Angels sung hymns while gently playing strings of the winds tranquil zephyrs  
God whispered in her ear as she wept gratified tears 
I finally understand 

In memory of my Ms. Anne-May....

Soul needs nourishment as a plant.
You have to hear good music and read
a master piece book.
Hear only good conversations. Don't see
sensationalist images.

Uplift your soul with taking some in the
day to reflex.
Your soul will be gratified with these
routines.
If you don't take care of your soul, you
will be living dead.

once I saw a girl
beneath the shadow of Banyan tree, Ramna Park;
I fell in love with her;
I couldn't tolerate her out of my sight

once I felt
I sucked her,
drank her blooming honey
and I biologically gratified myself;

once I gave her freedom to her abysmal gloomy path

Now I understand; it was lust, not my love

Amour, being capricious, dictates
    emotions from gratified hearts, 
        intertwined joyously, keeping
              love momentous.
Noting opposite’s prior
    quintessential reticence,
  sensual teasing unleashes visceral,
            wondrous X-rated, youthful zeal.

water which is crystal clear
emits a purity we praise so dear
the element that washes clean
the symbol that Baptisms need
to wash away jealousy, envy,
greed and pride
the little bits of sin that gratified
flowing downward deep inside
our inner feelings melt the pride
with God's help it's multiplied
through Him sin is set aside
and washed away by the tide
His healing water purifies...

Complete in nature, He is the great I am
He is the perfect, the utmost and most Supreme Being, the Son of God
The beginning and the end
For life came from Him, interlude for this moment, for a life time
His luxuriousness is my inheritance; he stepped down for my behalf
Dead I was, stagnation my history
For you raised us as loved us
And left us in owe

Within a bag of teaching stuff
I saved when I retired
Were notes and poems by students
To a teacher they admired.

How gratified I felt to read
I’d opened many eyes
To poetry and novels
(Even grammar – no surprise!)

Those students were in middle school
So now they’re all adults.
I wonder if my teaching
Had some tangible results.

No way to really know, but still,
I hope they love to read
And if they write some poetry,
I’ve done my job, indeed....

At the valley
Of butterflies
In Rhodes, Greece
I encountered
Nature's love affair
Feisty flowers
Rainbow colors
Flying gorgeously everywhere
Beyond anybody's reach
Fluttering here and there
Once the caterpillars
Magically turned into animated fairies
Gently hugging the trees
With their soft and fragile wings
Their inexplicable performance
Has fully mesmerized
Thousands of travelers
Enjoying the splendors
Of this world
And to be one of them
I am so gratified...

you may think you 
are exceedingly insignificant

but

your soul carries 
more warmth than
the sun bestows 
to the earth.

for I have been awoken by
the words spoken…by you. 

you may think I don’t
believe in you as I once did

but

your heart carries 
more affection
than an autumn day
mid-October.

for I have been satisfied and
I’m gratified…because of you. 

you encompass my very being, 
and I am astounded by your tenderness.

I shake my head like a dog
that just crawled out of a pond;
 with gratified grunts I stretch,
     struggling to yawn away 
          sweet seductions 
                of sleep
        from groggy bottles 
                  deep.

  Bone weary, dry mouth, dusty,
muscles aching, stomach souring,
 whiff of stale beer in my breath;
  like an overripe banana I wilt,
     and, yeah, it surprises me 
                    not
      that I feel rotten, stinking 
                   a lot....
