Good and bad are truisms…
  a qualitative masquerade

Ideology trumping feeling
  —in flashes of joy and pain

(Las Vegas: January 23, 2016)...

it is what it is
one of your 
favourite truisms
and without the key
to a parallel universe
i cannot dispute

yet it's what isn't
that's our real problem
it isn't warm in here
there isn't food in the fridge 
and the love we had
isn't there
anymore...

Enemies are potential friends.

A comfortable bed makes life bearable. 

A light umbrella encourages the wind.

Books lent to friends are mostly returned.

A smile on your dial gains you an extra mile.

The key to life is still missing.

Driving to the conditions keeps families together....

When the dynamo
of effervescent truisms
rears it's head
through anxiety laden thoughts

you begin to understand
the ebb and flow
of the mysteries
of the mind.

You realize that sometimes
reflections mixed with meditation
can lead you to
wild ruminations

whereby you create
unrealistic situations
fostered by introspection.
It is just a fact

of human nature
that everyone must deal with
on this mixed-up
crazy ride....

A sage with wisdom so erudite
Muse filtering hope, shedding light
Mentor whose keen insight doth shape, mold
Dr Ram's words are better than gold

Twining cultures with his harmonious pen
Idioms, aphorisms from his native kin
With adopted truisms, symbols doth fold
Dr Ram's words are better than gold

Verses sculpted with cunning concision
Accents, rhymes spliced with stunning precision
Crafty metaphors, metonymies freely doled
Dr Ram's words are better than gold...
