overseas
there are
white pastures
once upon a time
birds are grey...

Would I be glad with dinar

Gobs of Jobs

Seems to be gobs and gobs of jobs;
Then why are there so many sobs?
Jobs once had been nice and near,
And now no longer are they here;
Are overseas after someone robs.

Try my best to remain Silent like my pal overseas
Don't know what's happening, something's up his sleeve
Peculiar in nature
A psychological tater
Or is he just like us guys, full of poop and debris ...

Sacrificing loneliness in other country
                                                        For family’s welfare
                                             Considered as heroes by Filipinos

In the rust belt loss of work is felt
as industries went overseas..
Bill's, Jane's and Bob's now pining
for jobs to support their families needs.
Good jobs are such a rarity and people here
don't want charity, so send us some good
companies please!...

Every lingo does evolve,
We borrow words, I'm told,
I have croissant, pizza and latte,
Pen pal in Beirut, I might say,
I live in Woollomooloo, 
Where we parrot like cockatoos,
Now it's all English vocabulary,
Evolving to send overseas,
E-languages, you see!...

I don’t care if your parents came from overseas
Or you speak words that are different to me
For there are enough other places
Where prejudice is the norm in their airs and graces
To be fair and equitable is my way
And treat others as you want to be treated is my say.

For eighteen months Clyde had been overseas

   Spouse wrote she was having twins, if you please

      Nine months for each, he counted

         Jibes by pals he discounted

            With the gestation time he was at ease

I can tell you fairytales
But you still wouldn’t believe
A forever lasting love
That burns overseas
A vision of true love
So exquisite it shall be
Lovers dance in the moonlight
So the stars may see
Two hearts, One love
That’s what it should be
Two minds, One thought
Listen closely to me
This is love...

PLAGUE 

          Bombs drop overseas.
          Violence spreads like the plague
          killing hopes for Peace.
          What purpose for war
          justifies its destruction?
          I can think of none.
          Peace,Peace,come to us,
          the world one community,
          Diverse,accepting....

I feel at one with sweethearts
Through the years,
With the wartime lovers
Who went overseas,
All the shattered hearts,
All the rivers of tears,
I feel them all.

Verses of love,
Lovers who must part,
Portraits of love
worn so very close to the heart,
All the lovers lost,
Loves that never even start,
I feel them all....

Bonjour mon cher, how did you sleep?
I hope that your ears didn't ring
For all night long 
I spoke your name in song
From sunset until dayspring

Your sweet sounding name, my heart rendered aflame
With thoughts of you filling my head
And those eyes, and that smile
Inimitable style
Rendered breathless, my thoughts left unsaid...

Stealing from the bribe treasury
of those that fight bribery 
to my bank account overseas 
for stealing is not corruption 

That money is ours 
stole from our resources 
that is hidden overseas
for stealing is not corruption

Ohh, arise o-compatriot
to served our heros past
for stealing is not corruption
so peace and unity...

sky has no limit
earth has limits
overseas India-centric radicals' insurgency
one dragon, dragon's Asia, dragon's world
amidst global wars,is India occupation country spirit? world spirit?
will there be cross border aggression or war within country?
wear your soldier hat
be war ready
fulfill the call of duty for which you arrived

She'd waited so long
  Her love remained strong

Her man sent overseas
  She stateside, ill-at-ease

The lives of so many claimed
  or wounded or maimed

Now just three days to go
  Her nerves on edge and it showed

Two nights without sleep
  Tissue's tears in a heap

Then came the long-awaited call ~
  He'd been the last man to fall...

Picture #1 

Poetically Sees light shining into the seas
Above the wind blowing a light, chilly breeze
Looking into the ocean bottom all the way overseas
And seeing everything clear and with such an ease.  
Poetically Sees the water rippling above
The ocean can bring you nothing but love
The shining light serenity and peace
Can help that pain and hurt release....

You're the pupil of my eye
You're the sun up in the sky
You're the moon aglow at night
You're the beauty in a sight

You're the lady overseas
You're the cool part of a breeze 
You're the beat inside my heart
You're the fineness of the art

You're the love that's in the song
You're the whom of who I long
You're the meaning of lovely
You're the all of all to me...

I have an older brother that was
sent to fight in the war
And they sent him home a stranger
my brother was no more.
We used to be the best of friends
we used to be so close,
but that part of him stayed overseas
the part I miss the most.
He said that nothing can be done for him
no matter what they do,
so all I can do is just pray for him
and hope God can pull him through.....

Tedious of ephemeral dreams
I prefer to be in a coma
If my thoughts are where you reside
I shall close my eyes for eternity
My empyreal cerebrations
ostend the painstaking reality
that a body of water
has unlinked us both
Thus far, I have survived
without your company,
which is what keeps me sane,
and secure; That if I were
to cede it, I shall go sightless
And life shall lose it's felicity...

A man’s apartment is airily roomy
But wears he a face real gloomy …

Soon, I find out his eyes are rheumy 
And he thinks he got them through me!

Lousy Guy! My eyes for long not rheumy;
Two years now they to overseas flew me …

And with rheumy eyes in a shelter roomy
One should a reason find to be not gloomy,
Unless issues too has about one’s tummy 
Or bemoaning a perception as Dummy....

One picture appears to be ovaries.

said our rosaries
please protect our ovaries
here and overseas

on sabbatical
that had become tactical
being  radical

investigated
then we had contemplated
interrogated

seemed stimulated
proving prevaricated
so poorly stated

had tolerated
was never educated
eradicated

while an allusion
would have caused much confusion
disturbed by delusion...
