It’s hubris, I suppose, down in my soul, To think the ends will justify all means. And thinking that all rules are drab and dull I end up being blown to smithereens. But truly I know what is for the best! Thus, whispers little demons in my ears. Consider it a type of sacred quest And follow your own heart and not...

Temptations for sweets could never be drained. All attempts to avoid sweets went in vain. To adore sweets, my tongue is trained. Demons of greed for sweets coul not be slain. ...

“The somber sun sets to rise again with the grandeur of sanguinity” - Poet Sinking beauty of sadness I revel as scarlet sunset takes away my day. Joy of twilight time last rays unravel in pensive painting of life in decay. In the darkest of nights the stars shine bright, silver dust spreads tinsel tinge on sorrow. Rustle of dull leaves makes...

Your needs unmet and, too, mine equally fulfilled,—I s’pose it’s best to leave this where it stands.—what other course could feel as fair? But deep disturbances in mon esprit, increasingly violent unto me, (as roaring winds and foaming omens) stir tidal wave emotions without compare;— breaking—in terrific fatality. My heart adrift,—stranded soon on your shore,— beats weak, throbs sad sobs, sniffles back such...

My sibling sister and friend without spite or rivalry, I loved beyond compare; Athena-like and lovely as the night, your soul, a brilliant flame that burned with flair, gave light to me and soothed my manic fears; maternal saint and healer, you alone have cared for...

It’s hard to comprehend when I look out, but the science has left so little doubt, ten thousand years back, this place I call home was chilly depths, where only fishes roamed. The whole if it a lengthy glacial lake, but to my mind that seems like some mistake. Ten thousand years…that doesn’t seem so long, Karan Tepe is older, it feels...

What could be too beautiful to describe? A sunset golden in the western sky. Poetic words of wonder locked inside. Music so melodic, it makes one cry. What is so lovely, it happens unseen? Thankfulness growing in a grateful heart. Division of two from an unborn gene. The passing of passion within the dark. What words bring peacefulness to solemn ears? “From all candidates,...

When hues collide, a stark and brutal scene, Black bruises blooming where the light once played, And blue, a sorrow, silent and unseen, Beneath the surface, where the heart's betrayed. Is this the canvas where our truths reside? A testament to battles fought and lost, Where tenderness and anger cannot hide, And pain's raw artistry incurs such cost? Or do these colors whisper...

You are the pounding thunder in my chest, Like a drum corps, with every word you speak. And when I see your smile, there is true rest And when my eyes meet yours, my knees grow weak. There is a missing piece in every soul Filled only by that one, sublimest love. There are no substitutes to fill this hole Only you,...

"So friendly, and so true. That was our Lucy Loo" By poet Dear sweet Lucy Loo, how I’m missing you. It’s tragic that we had to let you go, but it was something that we had to do. Someone else will love you, and this I know because you have such sweet and loving ways. When I first saw you, I...

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor – Desmond Tutu The Trumpet of Parrots Patriots rally to the trumpet sound, its blare echoes the lies that bigots breed. Perched in power, pipers, in pretence gowned, their hatred spreads, disguised as noble creed. They stoke the tribal fire in ancient scars, while hissing hypes...

We dance without any need to rehearse, when we’re attuned to universal mind, whence formless presence composes a verse, inspired by glowing heart, divine entwined. We gain God’s trust when we choose to be just, quick to forgive, eager to help and give, ego rested, choosing love over lust, as the chosen mantra by which we live. Heart emptied of toxins, we’re free...
