'SOS'

Dear Security,

In this long and never-ending plight, I’m sending out a ‘SOS’ to you tonight…

Why do you elude me so? Why do you hide from me like the sun hides from the night? I search for you five, eight, forty, and 365 every year. Day in and day out, I sweat for you, I bleed

SOS

Say something;
your silence scars my skin,
shatters my soul,
strains my skull,
stretches out my suffering and 
snowballs my syndrome.

Out loud;
your opinion is not obvious,
openness not optional,
obligation not obsolete,
only your opposition to the occasion is
orchestrating this onslaught.

Speak;
I scream and shout,
shriek and screech,
sob and solicit,
still, you stay shut-off and silent and
strike me speechless, too.

Speaker

Speaker, speaker I'm listening...

You’re doing the right thing!
Unswayed from Kremlin propaganda
Isn’t how our country should swing
Faith changed; policies rearranged
Soul-searching, amazing grace you’ve seen the light
Unveilings of the autocrat,
Eluded the venomous snake bite
Boldly repelled the takeover of the Muscovite
Three foreign aid bills, thanks to you and Democrats!
Aid to Orient’s Formosa!
Aid to Eastern Europe!
Aid to Middle East!
Unwavering

Out of Time - Contest

I set the date
Hope I am not too late
To save some souls
From chilly fate

The year of our Lord
Dial one nine, one two
From my home-based lab
After locking in-situ

A gyro spins
A crackle, a flash
I land on the deck
With a terrible crash

Oh souls that surround me
Running here and around
Never notice my vehicle
Though designed to astound 

The floor is

Sos

SOS I’m crying out
Can you hear me in the silence?
SOS I’m crying out
I can’t stand up to all this violence

‘Cause I washed upon a sandbar
Destination close and yet so far
I need a little help now
To get this ship back up to par

SOS I’m crying out
Will anybody save my lost soul?
SOS I’m crying out
In this harsh

Anthology Sos

Missed my submission of poem in the first PS anthology
I think I was travelling that time or in a very long journey
Second submission, I think I’ve missed because I was so busy
Perhaps focused on my school work, no one had pinched me
Third submission, now announcements around I see
But which of my poems is/are worth for

Dedicated To Barry and Peggy In Sos Titanic

Whistle... and I'll come to you...
Through the sea, across the land

And with my mittens, 
Warm your hand



[Inspired by reading "S.O.S. Titanic" by Eve Bunting. Read it to see.
This is dedicated to them, it is not a poem from me to anyone else.]

Sos

Hello again

I'm sorry I haven't been writing as much
I've been ripping out a myriad of my musings
like petals from their flowers
crumpling them up & discarding them in a bin
overflowing with lies, malicia 
& stories I wish were truly mine
I'm sorry it took an eternity for me to reply
I've been trying to convince my shadow
to be

Dimash Song Lyric Translations

These are my English translations of songs sung by Dimash Kudaibergen.

This is my translation of one of my favorite Dimash Kudaibergen songs, the French song "S.O.S." ...

S.O.S.
by Michel Berger

Why do I live, why do I die?
Why do I laugh, why do I cry?

Voicing the S.O.S.
of an earthling in distress ...

To Be Alive

TO BE ALIVE

There once was a man from Galilee, and
A woman needing water from a well
She seemed transparent as you and me
He filled her soul with spice of truth as well
We breathe one breath.

Oh for the love of seeing
Even the dark of night holds glory
Drab of day finds the clearing
Stars one by one tells a

SOS Sincerely Me

It’s infinitely brighter, 
I would not turn back the clock;
If compliments are like money? 
I’ve left them all inside a jar;

I hope someday I can say these words;
Right now? I can’t quite put them together; 

Just like the day we met,
I’m completely terrified;
To unleash them all now,
covered in everything I can’t forget; 

I’ve lowered my

Sos

Started innocently, with carefree laughter
One moment strangers but friends thereafter.
Slowly, I began to rely upon you.

Seeking an understanding heart, I hurried onward.
Once... no, never once did I stop to ponder.
Something was changing between us two.

So, without recognizing I became someone worth ridicule.
One person alone could tell me I was wanted, beautiful... wonderful.
Smart? ... No. Not

The Last Bee Dances Sos

I never work in darkness friend
Evil hunts in shadows
Give me a sunny meadow
dancing jolly, kissing flowers 
now I stand quivering gossamer wings
narcissistic greed mongers, corrupted
build towers where neons flash
sold their putrid souls for cash
the prophet said perish thee
for you can’t eat money
words of change died in silence

Trees don’t tremble, flowers don’t cry
I know my time

Dam It All - Sos

The stream flows unceasing,
surging and swelling and smothering at the dam.
But the walls hold…

What creeps over is a trickle,
contained and detained and drained of its freedom.
But the walls hold…

It’s broadcast abroad,
tear drops and blood drops and congressional inspection.
But the walls hold…

And what is heard,
is muffled and lost and drowned in the mainstream.
So the walls hold

Because

Remind Them of Their Humanness - Sos

Delicate dream pinching me this morning
Urging me to go out among the people and reach them,
To teach them to open up their hearts and love each other

People are unfulfilled, because they are islands
Lost in the bowels of themselves, praying to electronic devices.
Sitting next to others who also have their gods in their laps
