Today I’m grateful for anticipation…
that excited and happy feeling we get…
that smile that crosses our face
as we await a moment…a date in the future…
when we know something is about to take place.
It takes us back to when we were younger…
when we were little girls and boys…
when anticipation of the joy we will be feeling
was, itself, a kind of joy.

## My Court, Everyone's Refuge
Choose any path of **prayer, supplication, wishes, or calls**, all reach beneath me.
You **don't pay attention to time**,
Here, **my gatherings also take place**.
Just **don't bring any gifts for me**,
**Don't be sad about what gift**,
If **your intentions are true**, then
**I am also the true giver of blessings**.
With love all
**OM Jagdish Bajantri "Mhabharamnad"**

The summer heat was turned up to blasting with a huge yellow sun looking down. Our sweat had sweat. If only there was a breeze to pass over us. In the mouth of desire sits July. A young couple is about to be wed. The groom all decked out in his black suit. The bride in her long wedding dress and veil. Family and friends gather to watch this union take place. They hang on every word as the vows are being said. Then the happy couple are pronounced husband and wife. In the mouth of desire a big kiss gets planted. Pictures are take, then off to the dinner.
Now we are married

Love is closer, than you think
just look, l'd hoped you see
his despondent heart, alone, did sink
so come, i'm here , tell me.
I'm here, i'm near, so have no fear
as Northern Lights take place,
l see, l hear, your music tears
so come, so come.... and seek his loving face.
A hand, reach out, the angels shout
a song, around, they sing
their words, a mystery , did always seem
but now, but now, your Northern Lights, he brings.
Love is closer than we think
look, its there, its everywhere
no more, for broken heart to sink
so come, he says.. 'tell me'.
Alone, in heart, you had to part
as clouds , took over, from the start
he says, i'm here, i'm near, so have no fear
his Northern Light, will wipe your tear.
Its here, it's near
the love you waited for
the love , its love, your lyrics feared
was meant, was sent, so long before.
Wake up , wake up, the angels sing
it's long enough you've waited
it's good news, the good news, that the angels bring
your Northern Sky arrived....created.
for Nick Drake 1948-1974

I hate tempests, unless I'm cosy in bed.....by poet
The tempest raged around the lighthouse
I was the sentinel of the place, hoping the lights flashed.
Unfortunately, it provided me with very little shelter.
Outside, wild waves pounded the rugged rocks.
Some stinging sleet fell piling up on the ledges,
Penetrating the broken wide wind-broken windows.
Nothing to do but wait till all will be over.
It took some time, and I could not phone my wife.
She would always imagine something bad would take place.
Nothing to do but hope and pray.
Three hours later, I was home and thoroughly drenched.
My bewildered wife looked at me, wondering.
She pushed me under the shower, removed my wet clothes.
Then came warm pyjamas and coffee laced with some alcohol,
Her hopes had weathered fears, her love complete.

Why do I revert to potty humour
Am I obsessed with body parts
Actually I AM attracted to female parts
Get that straight right from the start
The female body is a work of art
No sculptor can do it justice
Matching that soft, such delicate texture
Yikes, one part is getting stiff
Whenever I write about naughty stuff
Changes take place down below
Don't understand this strange behaviour
Maybe it's something I'll outgrow
Told my doctor and he confided in me
Ain't gonna outgrow it he said
It's gonna keep happening and listen to this
Could happen even after death!

The women sing songs to the moon,
Praising its beauty.
They dance and sing when it’s in its full glow,
Their souls ascending and descending,
Transformed into priestesses.
The men venture into the forest at twilight every fortnight.
There, an unveiling and a revealing take place.
The spirits commune with them in the tranquil ambience,
Warning them about any impending danger,
Sharing mysteries that are soon to enter their territory.
The men become gifted watchmen.
Something astonishing happens with the sun.
At midday, it beams its rays on a vast meadow,
Where the plants are exuberantly green.
These are called the Blessed Bloom,
An elixir of vitality and rejuvenation.
The atmosphere is clean and fresh.
There is no conflict between humans and machines,
No exploitation of nature,
No encroaching on her space.
The leash has not taken the lead.
I asked to know where I am,
And I met a stranger who looked familiar.
He said I’m in an unsoiled place,
An unaltered place,
An alternate universe.

Life is too short
Living for yourself is not enough
Time is not enough to please others
Make the most out of it
Every good deeds counts for you
For in the days of reckoning
No fear on conscience take place
No doubts instilling the mind
No reasons to not be fine and uneasy
Life is smiling what's beyond in the yonder.

chill to take my breath away
the tailpipe streamers
this day trip must take place
a cozy talk
heater on sun-strength
Dad bundled up
dust, sweep, mop
clean and sanitize
drop and talk
olives stabbed
martini sipped
Dad dips
his glass
to Mom’s ashes
preheat air fryer
flipping burgers
preheat oven
turning frozen fries
drop and talk
my Dad’s alive
this day trip must end
with tailpipe streamers
wall to wall traffic
and a warm smile
and a hand
as my husband
helps me unload
drop and talk
after I text
my Dad
and he
texts back a red heart
and tells me
he loves me

Born Again
Miracle Man
2/6/2025
Better if birth didn’t take place,
than never being born again.
God gives us new birth through His grace,
and with new birth forgives our sin.

Life is a dark labyrinth,
Every inch of it is a myth.
It is lighter outside,
Experiences say it is much heavier inside.
Welcome to the world of uncertainty,
Dilemma and chaos take place between reality and eternity.
Perplexity rises until death,
It does not consist of a single quiet bed!
I am a sojourner in this damp maze,
Slipping is my passionate habit in my eternal shape.
I will not live forever,
Neither anyone nor even prophets are constant saviours.
I just wish to live while I am alive,
This labyrinth causes me a severe headache.
I just don't want to live in this dilemma,
To me, the afterlife is more than an enigma.
Allow me to leave this labyrinth,
Wherever I wander, I am in a constant sprint.
The light grows darker day by day,
Lost in the haze, I drift astray.

The sorrows have been known
And the pain have subsided
An ancient is about to happen
The tears have dried up
And the sadness have disappeared
An originality has to take place
Interesting as it is,
The sweetness of the tongue
Leaves the audience
Speechless
The honesty of an individual
Leaves the tombstone
Shattering
Honourable it is,
The atmosphere is productive
And the air is breathable
An ancient has taken place
The love is so sweet
And the trust has been restored
A supremacy has been contained
Interesting as it is.

Jenny realised on her big day
Walking down the aisle
She was still in love with Ray
It was a hot day in May
The Groom was heard to say
The best man didn’t hear a thing
He just kept touching the ring
The Priest was a worldly Joe
But even he didn’t know
The events to take place
When the bride began to slow
The Groom turned to see
His wife to be
Rose-coloured eyes
Just blinded the disguise
The Priest looked at the best man
Guilt written in bold
He had this awful feeling
How this was going to unfold
The bride stopped and turned around
Headed for the door
Never glancing back
This time she was sure
Ray touched the ring for the final time
Passing it to the Groom
Walking up the aisle
Totally over the moon.
The Groom was in total shock
The Priest stood bemused
The best man's girlfriend
Realised she had been used.
They met outside
Love was in the air
Or would have been
Had the girlfriend not shot the pair.

Organ-ize it
like some sort of sick
symphony
I suppose
though the latter half of my A&P
studies
suggest otherwise
working together in harmony
a kind of homeostasis, (it makes me
shudder to think of any living space being like that)
organ...ized
like fossilized something that sets out a course to
take place over eons of time
that no one small
frail human could ever understand
much less scratch with tiny hands
at the surface of..
it just feels so cold, so
desolate,
but despite all this languid poetry
and verse
the room still has to get cleaned

Why do I have peace
Inside your forest, Father
That everytime I do here
My mind is recharge
Just a breathe for 10 seconds
My perspective change
My eyes start to wonder
In appreciation the beauty
You give to my eyes
Everything I see is life
Of art and of poetry
Inside of me rekindle
Are charging, rearranging
Your river here is so cool
Clear and cleansing
Your trees are like my friends
I hug their trunk and talk
To them my problems, my plans
My visions, even my secrets
I ask your trees for guidance
For answers and for miracles
To take place in my life.
That's how I do here in your forest, Father
Releasing my worries, unleashing
My doubts, my fears, my problems
After these are done, Father
I am cleanse, i am comforted, i am free
That's how you help me with your forest, Father
Not to mention, the adventure, the relaxation
That you have given your forest to ne, Father
Thank you, Father for all the benefits
For all the favor of your forest to me, Father.
