Short Thenceforth Poems

[center][b]

After birth
has shortest lifetime on Earth. 
Its called as 'one-day insect'
No regret, one day thenceforth.

Mayflies swarm
And within this shortest term
of life, mayflies form the groups,
and oops! dance too, that's the norm.

The mayfly
as nymph spends lifetime safely.
only purpose is to breed;
That's the creed, follow namely.

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Before The Storm
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: January/1987


Ocean wind,
      wilt thou bluster
thou fierce winds
       thenceforth
the storm -

        She's gone
hitherto places
         thou trust not 
known -

Will she come back
         ahead of the storm,
in love still
         embraced in thou
arms -

         Or, will the rain
continue to fall -...

Each moment creeps
Slowly
And quietly upon you

Drifting in continuum
One by one
In unbroken chain

From within the infinite
Depths
Of circular time

And across
The velvet black of space
And existence

Until at long last
It presents itself before you

The soul whom
For which it was destine made

And then
As if a drop in
The ocean’s great expanse

Makes impact and
Forever thenceforth becomes…
A part of you

Just as the sun surrenders to the horizon
after shimmering out the boldness,
let alone darkness to triumph over;

Likewise, even the sunflower concedes to the sun's movement
radiating euphoria around,
symbolizing admiration and loyalty;

As such the waves converge on the shore
embodying might,
conquering yet coexisting with tranquility;

Thenceforth, let's allow agony to renounce upon us;
for happiness can be consumed,
but pain can create....

One day I said to love
Will you be rain
She is speechless !

Next day I expressed to love 
Will you be sunshine
She is soundless !

Day after day , I have been requesting her
Will you be sky
Will you be bird
Will you be my pleasure
She is silent !

one day love says to me
You will be soil
And I shall be flower

Thenceforth when the flower kisses to the soil
Memorial of  love is created at that place

Did you observe it !

When he was a child,
Lost his mother;
Subsequently, her love.
Didn’t even know fully then,
What a loss it was!
Thenceforth searching for it,
Like a man running after a mirage.
Grew up somehow;
Couldn’t find it until now;
In vain were all his attempts.
Other things in life come by twos and threes…,
In place of mother, one can’t get another.
Mother is love! Love is mother!
