teach the birds to fly
paint your pan
wallow in yellow
only to wither away

on shores of despair
I wallow in the shallow
of my lowest tides
yet I rise - oceanic -
when my spirit floods with joy...

joining the dots, mind game inane,
tracking pitter patter of rain,
the pull of divine magnetism,
cascading in body-mind prism,
God’s benediction healing pain...

Let us not wallow in a quixotic stupor;
Becoming their silly food-stamped serfs:-
Maudlin beings drained of all our vigor—
Doomed to old slave quarters berths....

Caught yourself in a spot very tight?
No way out, no one else in sight
Wallow in self-pity 
Or think and be witty 
Doesn’t matter the route, be mighty and fight...

people are falling from the sky
smog in the air and they can't fly
wearing tattered mismatch rags
they wallow in plastic bags,
waste, and rubbish remains piled high

These pink glassy stones 
Don't have any uses
If I run out of reasons
I'll make up excuses
They wallow in bowls
for pure decoration
and hated by every
man in the nation.

Listen to poem:

i can’t pretend to understand
the silences between us
how they wallow in the throes of chaos
desires censored muted silenced
molten in the midnight moonlight

You are what you eat.
Pig meat is for those who like
to wallow in it,

whatever "it" is .....
Beef eaters are fat, angry
methane producers.

You are what you eat:
fruits, grains and vegetables make
happy, healthy folks....

having opted to wallow in the shallow
we feel fully, live fully, the sunken vibration
this too is a pulse and each pulse has a pause
the void of cessation is where we choose to dwell

a divine sight once beheld
was by memory recalled
by our ego thus seeking
the influx of grace was stalled 

why wallow in the shallows
when the ocean calls to soul
be still oh worthy hermit
that God’s touch may make us whole...

My shadow has departed
A dim luminescence has not the power to prevail
So casts my follower to the depths
To wallow in ineffable sorrow
Where heartache mutates to anguish, to scourge, to death
And lucidity has no foothold
And light, no admirer...

Friend 


I tried going solo
My voice was hollow.
Then tried to tango
I enjoyed the banjo.

If you come to me,
To play for free
And not for a fee,
We’d wallow in glee!

A friend in need
Is a friend indeed!

If life kicks you when you're down, 
don't lie down and die,
pull yourself up off the ground 
and punch life in the eye. 

Don't wallow in self pity 
and think that life's futile. 
Always strive to do your best 
and make your life worthwhile....

An inexplicable feeling,
Naked to the human heart

A cold to catch,
	Or a butterfly

Take hold of the rains,
Or wallow in their wake

Lay in slumber of your solemn sleep,
And take time to weep

For the soul you’ve called home,
Has gone away and flown...

I gave destiny a different version
As I wallow in self pity
With stains on my dignity

I err out my transgressions
Submissively
As trickles of tears
Caress my skin filled with regrets

I have failed in my mission
And I seek redemption,
So speak to me of heaven’s grace....

when
darkness
plays havoc
on the inside
the desire for change needs to be my flame

that ignites and burn negativity
displaying light
where darkness
tried to
reign

I 
refuse 
to bow down
and wallow in
thought induced darkness without fighting back

Dear Lions,
 Please keep standing strong in our world with so much wrong.
 Keep your senses alert to fair and foul, especially when out there
on the prowl, for not every foe is going to growl..
Get out there with you're confident stride, don't wallow in hurts
and petty pride, a genuine heart can turn any tide....

Always
Live in the
Moment that you have
While letting bygones be gone,
Resist the temptation to wallow in pride.
Accept the flaw of others and your own.
Extend grace to all men,
While forgetting your own needs.
Esteem those things that are true
And will light your life
Through the dark
That you encounter....

To wallow in a hollow,
Strategical defence...
From fear of being eaten-
Suspense can be immense.

To wallow in a hollow-
Does not mean that one is craven.
For every living thing-
Needs a safe haven.

So wallow in a hollow,
T'is wise to seek disguise.
For it's nearly dinner time and
On you there's hungry eyes!...

when we fall prey to complacency 

and comfortably wallow in abject sloth, 
    
                   we suffocate motivation in its nascency. 

eschew apathy and inactivity; rise above both!

The rain shall wash all sins,
Making smiles from grins.
We wallow in pain,
When we see all in vain
No thunder shall shake your beauty,
Your innocence is nothing more than purity.
Smelling your scent from miles away,
Is more than I need in a summer day 
Rain drops drumming on my skin,
After all grey skies bring joy within....
