May we all be blessed each night…
as we write that day’s memoir…
to begin by listing our blessings…
to see how luck we really are.
A hope that I’m now clinging to…
when it comes to individuals, state or nations….
is that:
Sometimes the most difficult roads
can lead to the most beautiful destinations
Today I’m thankful for simplicity….
for how often do we discover
in love
in life
in everything we do…
as each day goes by…
how much happier we are…
when we learn to simplify.
Teri bewafaai bhi humare idhar se maaf hai
Hamari nazar mai toh khali ain-shen-qaf hai
Yeh dil toh tere haq mai faislay liya karta hai
Aankh, kan, hath, pair yeh sab tere khilaaf hai
If we believe life is a circle
where the end of one journey
is the beginning of the next
Today I’m thankful for donuts
because…
Nothing epitomizes that belief
more than a donut does
Today I’m thankful for the sea…
When you first experience it…
no matter where you are..or when…
once you’ve looked out on the ocean
and been mesmerized by her tides
you’ll never be the same again
May we be blessed to understand and enjoy the diversity of art
whether in a museum
or on a nature walk….
from the artists who work on the canvases of today
to the artists whose canvases were rocks.
I truly am disappointed
By such a lack of desire
When I think I should inspire
That swollen stuff of dreams
With a waving Wand anointed
By eager, willing hands
Spill free his demands
Then stuffed back in his jeans!
Flaws and faults blame each other.
Demonized like Succubus-Incubus.
Philautia, amour propre cursed lover.
Garden fountains, tears and mucus.
Morally peaceful dignity of lover.
Love is aloof and leaves the circus.
Though her flesh was soft as moonlight,
He found her soul a bleak midnight.
Her sapphire eyes, banana sky,
But she spoiled things like a fruit fly.
He’s out of time, needs a bypass -
Her body, shaped like an hourglass.

I have forgotten you
Said she, trying to be true
Hiding away her wounds
In her wrecked mood
And there he stood
With that look
Being crude
Not caring of her droop
He lives his way
She lives in dismay
Because she loves
And he won't say the word
There aren't no faithful men
You ungrateful man
You had a good thing I'm a good woman
Yet you abused me, so now you'll lose me
There ain't no faithful, truthful man;
No man, you sir no cause every man an adulator
And yet the few that are not...more than average;

Vaasokht
Values warp love intrigue
Vexed liaison unfair
Vetted assails exacts
Volatile edged divorce
Vaasokht has six rhymed lines
Very old forms have eight
Views last two as unrhymed

~~Joseph May
I am at the midst;
A the way she so insist;
Adrift your sarcasms;
This jaunt reaction;
I’m sorely displeased;
On how you verbally abuse me;
Alas you’re not raising a baby;
I’m a grown man, I know what I am;

Vaasokht verse
Now he said
My frustration is well fed
But her attention didn't hear
How his desires bled
Then she continue to wait
For the one of her fate
And his words are late
As they slept in silenced state
Whenever herself, she asks
Who is the one of her dreams
Out there in the vast, he bask
Hidden away in the sun's beams
May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.
Today I’m thankful for the falling leaves of Autumn
a feast…a celebration for our eyes…
the only time throughout the year…
I see rainbows tumble from the sky
You don't know what I can be Your simply clueless Such an array of possibilities You just don't know when you gaze at me You look right through, transparency So many thoughts I can conceive But you don't want me to believe No you can't know what I can be Your eyes wide shut when you gaze at me
'Twas a tawdry affair that trifles pittance fare,
A Qualified Judge.

"FORGIVENESS"
"Implied?" ... "Theorized!"
"Her fate has already been decided ..."
"... and what of me ...?"
"Your fate will be defined."
But it scares me.
I read what I've written
What you've written
And
Damn, that's GOOD.
I wanna write a poem
but the muse has deserted me
or maybe I deserted her
or maybe she's a he
Who the f-word knows?
But I wanna write a poem.
One about love and charity
One about caring as much for you as I do for me
One about seeing things other people can't see.
I just wanna write a poem.
Dust from the past, layered in youths callow
Desperate to be forgiven, for sins committed
Wrongs done in ignorance should be omitted
Dust from the past, covers the shallow
Fear of failure, insecure self worth
Heat needs to rise from this emotional hearth
Dust from the past, it casts a shadow
Anxious to wash it away, make it clean
Start over, be clearly seen
To late...
I didn’t stay
because you didn’t listen
Warring night and day
for a little attention
Forget promises whispered
at the alter
What about us?
When did we falter?
It only counts when two
equals one
But when one plus one equals two
It’s time I left you

(Some writings will be very simple,
and really stupid.
I am going from back to front and
attempting to write in every form)
Sure that she was a real pearl,
Many calls, always no answer,
Would have sung in the streets for her!
Would have jumped off a bridge for her.
Guess not really in love,
Or just not into me sick of,
Erasing my effusive calls,
Or yet again too much schmalz.
well that's the very sad end
Of my going off the deep end
For some girl I soon forgot,
Wish could say was distraught!
Love so easy when stars align
One kiss one touch you are mine
We enter realm of truly sublime
What went wrong? I missed first sign
'twas the criticism you did design
no longer can I worship at your shrine
You took my love so freely given
Forget forgiveness you won't be shriven.
This started out as a vaasokht but am afraid it did not follow rules entirely.
She said she had stopped loving me long ago
Now, her goal was to make me miserable,
Not the least of kind affections does she show
And her villainy is far more than considerable,
It seemed to start after our first year of bliss
Which is something I will surely always miss.
Enough! Enough, I say, of this utter travesty
For it is clear enough, she is worthless to me!

The moon looks to be shining brightly right now.
Our lives are shown to us in a short, quick show.
There is no one else to blame but us for our flaws.
It contrasts admirably with the way the wind blow.
We can refer back to the flag by raising the billow.
It's inconvenient to be forced to limit one's view.
The most tragic loss is our way of thinking.
In a state of confusion, no one is striking.
