In the circle of life,
Everything is contained,
But true to life,
Find your freedom within,
For within, you find you....

Truth as we see it
Is not as we’d choose it.
The true say “so be it,”
The truthless refuse it.

Life as we want it
Is not as we hold it.
The lifeless still haunt it,
The living remold it....

beauty..
      lies unchanged
but..
      decaying:
transitory
        changes
appear..yet
            beauty
               within
remains..
              unchanged..
a garland
      forever
        in love's 
          memory...

T -The movie-life with Ike Turner exposed 
I - I, like most humans - had to notice her
N -Notoriety for hits true to life; loved fans 
      who return the favor
A - A prayer she joins celestial chorus 
      worshipping Jesus (I heard her sing in 
      Sanskrit-Hindi, "Sarveshyam Shantir Bhavatu")...

VIOLET, my passions so prescribed.
INDIGO, I follow her soul's desire.
BLUE, my companion so true to life.
GREEN, l am filled with envy.
YELLOW, the undignified distortions of life.
ORANGE, the bright citric passions in me.
RED, the depth of my Sincerity.

That's the rainbow of LOVE

Deep within my heart there flows a fountain of love, For god has sent me an angel from the heavens above.My heart my soul my world revolves around you,you make my days a lot brighter now my life seems new.I have dreamed of this moment now that my dreams have come true,my life has new meaning now that I found you.....

Tentativeness has become pure permanence.
Overindulgence turn true to life temperance... 
Boulders resemble icebergs of sturdy snow rocks,
Bonfire looks like lively long burning lava blocks...
Something seen; something hidden; everything subtle,
Living and dead, betwixt heaven and hell shuttle...

I know I might not be the best
But I try to be different from the rest.
Its true that life is always full of test
But like a soldiers with his vest

Girded firmly around his chest
And vigilant like bees in their nest
My striving is to be at the crest
Because in reality life is not for jest

(Pirouette) 


You want to protect me 
I feel your presence near 
You guide me true thru life 
And for everybody you died 
You paid for all our sins 
You paid for all our sins 
I can't stop praising you 
You help see things better 
You're really our Savior 
I can't live without you!

My poetry comes from where it is dark
 From deep within the chambers of my heart
 
If not for the light of Christ I would not see
 The words within to write my poetry
 
What I write is true of life
 Triumph and mistakes alike
 
If you study what you read
 No explaination from me you'll need
 
For you will know what I impart
 It will travel from heart to heart

Your softness speaks,
stories untold.
In my garden far,
the wind sings your fragrance.

Every drop of dew that falls on you,
spreads a language of its own.
Deep in your heart, burns a light of love,
“Red” is it?........yes red it is my love.

Even beyond the rainbow of imagination,
a poet sings your praise,
a lover longs for you .
It’s true that life has learnt,
the language of love from you.

The road to nowhere
which we saw,
The road to everywhere 
is what we thought

An invitation to light
is what we hoped,
Living in the dark is
what we cope

A place which is bright, 
A place filled with light 
and no dark but delight

A path we thought will
take us somewhere,
A path we thought will 
make us something 
somewhere

But after all this time,
in this rhyme,
The road to nowhere
is what we designed...

Thoughts burn with passion
Seeing a gloomy happening
Touches deep folded pallets
Leaving a flavor of happiness

Roses entwined with thorns 
Life stitched with jumbled tones
Charm known after tasting wine  
Tragedy hears the wind chime

Passion of love reaches heights
Courage up when tragedy strikes
Eternal beauty of nature praised
Belief in unseen power is raised

Tragedy is more cherished in heart
Containing memories of true love…life!...

I was given wings but was never taught how to fly
living in this would for many its do or die
my future is blind my review of the would is negative
so many wants to take not many wants to give

unknown foes and only a few friends
grown into this would but could never comprehen
the way we live fighting while young ones cry
creating world wars the only thing we gain is death for you and i
forgive my thoughts for pointing this out
true to life thats what i'm about...

A poem describing Halloween
Is what you might expect,
Impressions of the holiday
On which I did reflect.

Yet here is where I let you down
And you may think it rude,
But somehow, with no reason why,
I’m just not in the mood.

So if you want to read a rhyme
Of skeletons and such,
You’ll have to find another source;
Do I feel bad? Not much.

It’s good from time to time
When expectations don’t come through.
It’s true to life, but just in case,
I’ll end this with a BOO!...

Arise my soul, lay bare
this heart, give me lips
touched by God,ever
consecrated to Him.
A true and steadfast 
mind from higher radiance
caught.
The challenge from within ,
looking with a fresh mind 
true to life,to taste & see,
grow with the flow,a servant
heart ..here..to eternity
