There was an old lady of Looe,
who painted a toilet in glue,
and it drove her insane
as she stuck to the drain,
inhaling the smell of her poo.

As you drink from this cute bottle - Little Queen beer,
I drink your peer 
It was a call for
Shutting  the door 
To stop that topic to avoid its sour
It was for you no less no more

I can part with my life, 
If you embrace me with your affection.

But I cannot revere life,
If you continue with an attitude of silence!!

A boy of 10 I only fished,

                     to bring one home for mother`s dish.

                     Became a man with drink and wished,

                     that getting tanked would catch me fish....

color of your tears
dripping in full flow
inky blue than all rivers---
my paint is crystal
like the winds of summer's flight
stroking heaven in your eyes

The green was bespeckled with putters
Till 'long came a singer, Miss Sutters
She started to sing
The golfers did swing
And now, poor Miss Sutters, she stutters

Spread your

The time

come to
leave the nest,
your destiny

If I could stand beside myself,
And see what others see,
And then look deep within my heart,
And guage it honestly,

I wonder how I'd see myself,
I wonder how I'd feel,
To meet the "Me" that others meet,
And feel the way they feel.

Enrapturing,
Wild gush that full moon sends,
For the love of praise dies the truth,
Adore !

(this is a old poem)

Power of light
Help see from darkness
What shadow can not see
The eyes will see wide open
The anguish flame of what it see
That darkness try to hide.
From inner being that cannot be erase
For my anger arisen.







( I wrote this base on a cartoon)...

Shame,
a shroud,
has fabric
woven from the
dark, anguished threads of
self-recriminations
and of inadequacies.
Caught in its twist, the frail weave on,
constraining themselves in self-loathing.
Unravel fibers of despair. . . Unveil!

Graves for mariners,
leaning towards the sea,
a lot lop-sided
as if seasick

Gravely now,
we went towards the graves,
the sea churning,
then marinating green

Those lingering stings grows depths and last.
They seep their way in - to the past
To claw out your inner soul -
Those hopes you have with dents and holes.

Note: This is an old poem I wrote when I realized
I couldn't forget the past and that it would always
be a part of me: lingering....

Behold the lit splendor of an arcade

that bleeds her copper shawl, its final glow

awaiting dusk to grasp last flares of blade,

when decimal of time changes the flow

and in repose, glazed orb succumbs to row.

(old poem)

Sign from the sky leads the future rely
Year by year day by day.
The world changes
The battlefield is earth
Hurricane, earthquake, tornado, form they combat 
To places they choose.
Despair, discourage runs through your veins.
For there's nothing to do but take cover hopping you'll survive....

A                                             
new day
is dawning -
a blank canvas
awaits as sins of 
the past are forgiven.
Awake my soul and rejoice,
God's mercies are new every
morning. I will embrace this day with
open arms - a gift from my Creator.

Into the grooves of sunset fair

when meadows forget time of hours
 
I climb inside the worlds and dare
 
to relish the budding of flowers

where charcoals play around bonfire
 
wrapped  in hues of different skin
 
starlight glows with your eyes' pyre
 
meeting you as we first begin.

Fate

Chances
The design 
Of life begins with
The choices we make every day
Events that happen in life are beyond our control
Reaction to the challenges faced through live make a 
difference in the final outcome
