Success is GratitudeSuccess is gratitude
For answering people's questions
Including those that were not asked
But implied.
And those unsaid questions, I believe
Are the most important
Artists, who are gifted with answers
On which the life of the perceiver sometimes depends
Receive the success they deserve
Fortunate is the human
Who is blessed with answers
Happy is the artist
Who gives back their gift.

Skull and BonesIt was a somber afternoon in New Haven,
Where silence echoed louder than sound.
The towers of Yale loomed like sentinels—
We, the chosen, gathered without a word.
Not boys. Not even men.
But vessels of an ancient pact.
Born with the signet of the old world
Marked not by blood, but by frequency.
To Lake Whitney we marched at 13:13,
Numbers sacred, aligned...

Two cheers for and not forTo pass all probing eyes, two cheers,
To pass from mind’s decries, two cheers.
No cheers to kiss crest of success,
To stay there ever wise, two cheers.

The Essence Of TeachingTeach them how to discern and learn,
Don’t leave them helpless to crash and burn.
Teaching them just content, they learn it your way.
Teach them the process of learning today,
You give them a lifetime of learning every day.

The Star
Glittering unhindered in the sky
Is the star’s glow at places high,
Lighting seas’ abysmal turmoils:
Nature’s eye that darkness foils.
But this glow’s sometimes short-lived:
Evil gods by such excessive shine miffed
May with clouds obfuscate the star
And its heavenly luminescence mar.
Yet whether in resplendent glow
Or by jealous clouds overcast,
A star will remain a star you...

The TreasureTo live in abundance and magnify your fortune you must DIVINELY work for it. The far measures of where man will go for an instant magnitude relentlessly disqualifies the thoughts of having abundant control over their own hearts with love and forgiveness. And in addition, the practice of satisfying skin compared to a clean heart,...

Prayer's Power
When heart breaks and bleeds under the sharp knife,
Cut and crushed feelings blame the storm of life.
When mind forgets the joy of the daybreak,
forlorn eyes spend the night in tears and ache.
But firm faith fights the hardest blows of pain,
to triumph over the arrows of rain....

Pen Name
What’s an appropriate pen-name
for a poet on the climb for fame?
First of all, it should have a ring to it,
a certain literary allure about it.
Make it clever, give it an appeal
even though it isn’t yours or real.
Choose a name that draws the ear
and promises a lucrative career.
Sound and purposeful psychology
when coupled with creativity
will boost sales...

THE COST OF SUCCESSI took a loan
to build myself a home
just a little space to breathe
to rest without chasing time.
For a while, I lived with ease
forgot the ticking clock
watched joy bloom like flowers
but never watered the debt behind me.
So I borrowed again
to pay what I once owed
then borrowed more to mend the last
circling like a bird with broken...

If Life Were A Game Of ChessIf life were a game of chess,
I would not be holding the chess pieces.
I wish to become a chessboard,
So I could see the wonders of life and be free
Or I may in another way I can explain
A plain tea that reflects the story of life,
The chess pieces will show your past life
How...
