There was an old lady named Joyce
Who writing her thoughts found a voice.
She opts to write poems
Instead of long tomes.
For her its a matter of choice....

When one opts to be disloyal
Eyes casts constant betrayal.
If caught being blatant criminal
Admit your act devoid denial.

     The democratic West 
        opts for the collective mind
        in thrall to the tenor of the time

     But terrorism unchecked
        ‘s’ always a losing bet

     ‘Cos you don’t need some ‘great reason’
        ~ Fighting terror’s always in season

Senses feel sweet springtime festival
Rapture knows joy sentimental
Cheer opts deep dance oracle
Surge of urge in fond sights
Know the truth that lights
Flash of fine flights
Style mood swings
Jazz flings
Spring

our forehead glistens, as it ought
owing to blessings God has brought
and so sometimes we clench our eyes
when bliss borne rapture opts to rise
whilst with magic display at play
that renews its dance everyday
within this here mind-body urn
in flame of bliss we choose to burn...

In your sad eyes,
Feel surge of pain;
Tears now look dry 
As poise now strains.


Tears not in vain,
I reach midway;
A certain strain
Now opts to play.


Sad eyes know best,
Pain hurts feelings;
A dreary jest
Ere true healing.

DUTY BORN SOLDIER


duly sworn soldier
on the battle fields fighting
for our freedoms reigns

opts out his safety
armed to protect you and yours
God protect them all

duty bound soldier
friend of us enemy to 
them come back home safe

Prime pretty play,
Use unzips urge;
Laugh lovely lay,
Swift sensuous surge;
Etch ends empty.
Thrill touching think,
Oops opts only.
Indulge in ink,
Move much musings;
Pique piquant prime,
Unfurl upswing;
List luscious lime,
Sense subtle sketch;
Echo each etch.

Meek moments make,
Impulse inks ice;
Crazy charm cakes,
Rich rambles rise;
Obsess old oils.
Streak sanguine stops,
Thrust troubled toils;
Observe odd opts,
Remind ripe rogue;
Yes yields yonder.
Yield yester yoke,
Ask apt answer;
Rest rowdy romps,
Niche nurtures norm.

denial of what is as is unfolding
clinging to that that never was
glue of ego spawned identity
we see these tamas spirals
attempting to anchor us
in fear and darkness

our nonchalant eye
entwined with heart
ever bubbling with joy
opts not to trauma bond
with such sunken vibrations 
judging nothing celebrates life...

Poems don’t flow freely as 1, 2, 3,
Inspiration ain’t always sweet as candy;
Creativity is the balancing act between heart and mind,
It’s the gripping stunt to strip the soul under the spotlight.

Often misunderstood as child’s play, 
But the arts has brought more peace than guns, tanks and planes;
Jesus walked on water, Moses split the sea,
Even God opts for creativity!...

The sky presents kaleidoscope views
As the heavens display  many hues
On sunny days it is dressed in blue
But sets the sun with red and orange hues

On stormy days it dons a cloak of gray
As thunderous rumbles come our way
But once the storm  passes through
It dons again its'  coat of blue

It opts for an orange scarf at dawn
As rising sun welcomes morn
With  lavender attire it  greets the twilight
While it wears diamond studs and golden crown at night...

Overwhelmed
Becoming obsessive as I observe the opposition of our oasis
Obliged, an overcast of oppression opts the decomposition of the orb we occupy
Outgrown and over-encumbered in this ordeal
Obey the odds
An oath to overt the oncoming outbreak of death on our omnificent organism
We are offspring of organic obscurities and cannot operate as orphans
We must object those who oppose and obliterate our bountiful orchards
An ode to the origin of our oval orbit...

Charm courts calm cheer
Romp ruffles rear
Ask and appear
Zoom zesty zeal
Youth yelling yield


Mind mourning mate
Airing apt ape
Discern debate


Dice dewy drop
Offer opts ops
Glimpse gracious gob


Best blooming blot
Aim and allot
Ripe rich report
Kind keeper knows
Sanguine song shows


Note not never
Options over
Worst woes wiser


Hoist hip heavy
Engrave empty
Rich rowdy roar
Encroach explore
