Short Ordinariness Poems

exuding hope and love
sprinkling joy on ordinariness of the day

they take turns following
communing in a telepathic way
cats, dogs, bunnies, lambs, deer, squirrel,

finding each other
giving each other hope
sharing optimism and joy

in every meadow, barnyard and woods
not able to help themselves...

 Conclusion


The tears of the heart - 
If could be expressed at all;

Lost like a torn feather in the universe.

Painting, writing even breathing sometimes, I tried,
just to be sincere.

But my voice-choked 
by my ordinariness.

Maybe that’s why no painting is ever complete - 
And concluded is no story....

They sit together
Watching the box,
Sharing the view
Side by side.
Not talking,
Yet comfortable
Engrossed in scenes
Before them.
Wrapped up 
In their moment
Of togetherness.


Eyes centred
Lost in the illusion
Played out before them.
 Each one aware
Of the other's existence,
But feeling no desire,
No distraction.
Yet so closely woven
Nothing could possibly
Come between them....

In searching for her he’s found a philosophy
to balance his soul in the presence of Sophy.
The scales of existence measures his sufferings,
from his shoulders, she’s taken off the weight of desires.
His spirit is soaring above the ordinariness.
The lightness rules over the human hopelessness.
Penetrating into the Universe is the man.
The truth is a languor for him till the end.

It burns and engulfs all about you
Your happiness resting on another's smile
Her support becomes your daily desire

I've seen the bitter side of this pill
Tasted and lived for it
The power to make the sane less-sane

War is love when simplified
It takes and gives life
Making resurrection a mourning sight
And a mourning sight another life

It's a choice of royalty over ordinariness
It's war over peace
It's beauty in dark places....
