Short Sg Poems

Checking my watch one last time
Waiting for your face
Looking down the corridor
Just an empty space...

Now you're five years late
You're never coming back, but
You're still worth the wait

Mists rise above rocks below
Maid of the Mist drifts
Up to Niagara Falls
Hordes of mystic lifts.
Rainbows in the sun
Newly married couples flock
Windows for great fun.

Summer's breeze ruffles my hair
while pale moonlight glows
and waves kiss the sandy shore
as the calm tide flows.
A Whippoorwill fills
the night with rhythmical songs
in sweet throaty trills.

The Island of Alcatraz

Startled clouds lurk midst a gate
beams stretch crossed a bay
pylons yon the sneaky fog
dreams fetch castaway.
Deserted prison
vagary hopes long entombed
averted risen.

Lautrec At Night

He leads amongst the bustle
sedate naught condemn
the noise, music, and high kicks
late in the pm.
Paris famed tower
drunk paint blithe vibrant visions
artist empower.

Just like the pleasant zephyr
blowing cool and calm
turns and churns into a storm,
boisterous gale bomb,

Longsuffering mind
can suffer wrong for that long,
then life’s an irked grind.

The city simmers under
Rivers of slow flames
Glass walls blaze in torches raised
Nightfall's amber claims
Blue mirage on far
Drops of silver mercury
Summer's melting star.

in my childhood i had a dream 
                              now time to my tongue's best cream

Sinking beauty of sadness
sun’s hue leaves my day
twilight rays make a painting 
of life new from gray.
Night stars sparkle bright
silver dust spreads on sorrow
wipe scars with delight.

LONELY PEOPLE

Look, all the lonely people
in the world, as whole.
Living alone in sadness,
sinking in a hole.

Show kindness, good will.
Keep in touch to people with
lonely hearts to fill.

"Those who relinquish the body while remembering Me at the moment of death will come to Me. There is certainly no doubt about this." Bhagvad Gita 8.5
~~~

Every time you hurt me through 
your harsh words and deed,
I chant Gods name evermore,
that is what I need

Thoughts of God all day
surely gives salvation. It's 
the easiest way

This poem was composed by a 12 year old student under my account. I take no credit for the writing except for supporting expression

Author- SG 12 years

You have no friends
Never think
You are different

Hold your head down
Never
Think you are a winner
Be sad
Never
Be happy 

Change for people
Don't
Stay how you are

You have no friends
Don't believe
People like you

You are weird
Don't think
You are special...

..............................Profligate ornate attire
                                  Awful music, dance
                             Asian transgender bender
                                  anyone goes trance.
                                When makeup undone
                             Worries back on old faces
                                   No one is for none.

The hushed cemetery green,
where birds sing doleful;
and thoughts weave labyrinthine,
oh, woeful, woeful.
Yet, sun is divine,
caressing my fallen tears
serenity ... mine.
