Pessimistic and rude.
Can't get out of it......

To the end...

What is too close to the edge

You pessimistic...

But honestly I’m a statistic,
Craving only the face of tomorrow,
Without the inclusion of this sorrow....

I notice what I desire to see,
 sometimes it's the void and not the whole.
Other days it is hard to decree,
 what I glimpse as I look through the hole.

pessimistic
stagnation 
arose from 
within
moved onward
in a sluggish 
fashion
vibe was dull
at best
failure to 
advance 
together
failure to
progress as
a unit 
stopped 
ceased 
all encounters...

Happiness, freedom and love
The optimistic vertex
Sadness, oppression and hate
The pessimistic vertex
Life is but a throw of the dice

Let every man his poem treasure.
Let every girl her poem treasure.
Whether wit or want or wayward pleasure
Be met with rhyme or metered measure
Let every poem be a treasure.

People near Secaucus are eco-pessimistic,
And who can blame them,
Hanging over the blackened Hackensack
like that?
I hope some day new rain will come 
to wash their hearts,
like pure white doves,
that people near Secaucus love....

People who want misery 
will find it in everything

An angel becomes the devil
The flower wilts
A cloud blocks the shining sun

Angry people pick fights with you
pretending it's themselves


Don't be your own
 Worst
   Enemy....

Time is not ripe
Now, my shade is merging in me
Time will arrive
I will merge in my shade 
For final time
A bit of amusement, a bit of tragedy
A game like, in between symphony
Light and shade show
I’m no pessimistic, believe me
I have accepted as it comes
It’s my life…....

Walk with confidence
Let gladness enter your heart
Be optimistic,

Not Pessimistic!
Don’t doubt your progress – come on!!
You can do this, bud!

Rock on, warrior!
Be bold and be positive
You will live longer 

You’ll die in honor
Attitude of gratitude – 
I grant you – happy?...

Jaan, please no more pessimistic
Jaan, please one more optimistic.

Sweetheart, please no more sadistic
Sweetheart, please one more fantastic.

Babe, please one more futuristic.

Honey, please one more romantic....

We hate one another. 
We can't get together. 
We know it's better to be friends, 
But we just don't even bother. 
Our turmoil is so intense.
It's at the end of our tether. 
All the King's Horses 
And all the King's Men 
Couldn't get us together. 
Oh, no, it's over. Why bother?...

Time goes by.
I get old,
bored,
and more pessimistic.

But I like the Time.
Of all who passed by me,
in this life.
Time was the only one that did not ignore me.
Time was the only one that took me seriously.
Time has been the only one that has always been with me.

I will miss seeing Time pass....

I am looking for someone to win my heart
But why it still seems we are light-years apart

I am not pessimistic in anyway:
I keep on looking for you day after day

My eyes are tired of looking for you 
How shall I find you I don’t have a clue

When I will meet you I really don’t know
Although if I am the moon you are my glow...

MAY these be the best days of your life
Each RAY of sunshine dispelling strife

All pessimistic thoughts kept at BAY
Loving kindness in each word you SAY

While warmer weather's bestowed your WAY
Spring broadcast by the singing blue JAY

C-ore of the mind
E-xpresses either pleasure or dismay; 
L-et the former fill the heart, 
S-eptember fifteenth Friday.
L-et the core of the mind make your outlook positive; 
Y-ou'll never be pessimistic, to triumph is your motive.

C-lear conscience comforts you, 
O-nce you search and find; 
L-et your soul see the truth

Words flow from insights
strong feelings become poems-
windows to the soul


My books of heartfelt poems I leave to you – 
some with optimistic views, others, dark with 
pessimistic doubts; here a smile- there a tear-
that turns me inside out. Understanding of the
whole- grants keepsake of my everlasting soul.
