Living in an unwanted world
Tossed to and fro
With heavy breeze breezing
All hope seems lost
Lost in the midst of ravaging storm
Tossing East and North.
Caught amidst the combat of immorality
Weary and scary
Sharpened edges rust,
Once honored chastened.
Caught in the midst of thorns
Egg meant to meet with fragility chastened.
Marauding and parading
No light,no route, no Zeus.
Bright lightening fades,
yellow sun turned dark
Light to the path turn outcast
The cared for left
Leaving the light to fend for himself.
Is the light meant to fuel itself ?
How then shall it bear forth light ?
When day break,night cometh not ?
When night comes with darkness being the author of the day,
Vanishes, ashamed,is an outcast light summoned?
How be it the light comes up
When not fuelled?
Light cometh up but shines not .
When treated right,
Light shines and darkness vanishes
When there is alternative to light,
Is the light not ashamed?
Nothing replaces light for ever.
Even nature cometh and vanishes.
Then,shall light be appreciated but gone.
Of what gain shall it be for both creature?

Time vanishes grandma said
Where does it go? Queried her grandson
Totally unsure, but it is gone quickly
Ticking away, tick, tick, tick
I tried to hold on to a minute once
But it could not be done.
So I thought I would start out smaller.
Holding on to a second.
That did not work either.
Do what you want today.
Today is all you have
Right now

Life will cross many decades
Come and go many comrades
At last, stays only loneliness
We meet end with helplessness
Many losses and many defeats
We leave with incomplete feats
Our life is taken in a flash
Our love to live has a crash
We plan to do a thing always
But, to do it, we find no ways
We simply take a firm oath
But, we are ruled by sloth
Life simply is spent
We, one day, repent
We give a sad sigh
Our plans just die
Let us do to the maximum
To realize our golden aim
With assistance from God
By working truly very hard.

The morning is born
on the edge of today;
a wanton quickly consumed
within the burning of the candle.
The fanciful things you do
brighten my cloistered room;
a glimmer teasing
the depth of an arbor.

reflects in still blue liquid mirror's glassy chest
pedestrian's head touching the sky within
silvery hill catches to add more beauty
when a leaf falls on ripple vanishes dream

Love Truly Lost, Forever Vanishes
With you gone, orange sun sets to die
don't ask me silly questions why
Is it not enough that I bled for your touch
never asking for joy too much
That I once silently sat watching you sleeping
every heartbeat reassuring me that you live!
Your love secrets, I gathered into my safe keeping,
giving you all I ever had to give!
With you gone the earth sits barren and crying,
bitter cry so very dark and shrill
Dark clouds descend- Announcing our love dying,
as fate hurried to hand me the bill
Surely you know I'll never dare to pay,
for sadness, heartache and misery so very deep
You sent silence- nothing left to say,
then walked away knowing my spirit would weep!
A new day has now arrived to gently recast
to another, the love you promised to forever last.

There she vanishes with the night,
Such shadowy picture from a far,
Quite splendid, the moon is tonight,
But, how can I enjoy such scenery if she's not around?
I remember how she used to gaze at the midnight sky,
Looking for her star, dreaming she could fly.
In the midnight, under a cold dark sky,
She would lie down with no sense of time,
Like if nothing else matters,
Like if it was her last night in this life.
I remember that she had quite a power over me,
Her touch kept me warm, her words kept me sane,
One touch and I would never known,
One gaze and everything would change...
But there she vanishes with the night,
I'm stuck between realities,
I have lost every sense of mine,
Numbed and drained until the last drop,
I've lost my path, now I can't come back.
But I must be strong, for I am dreaming... that I'm living.

Love Recast, Forever Vanishes
With you gone, the orange sun sets just to die
don't ask me silly questions why
Is it not enough that I bled for your touch?
never asking for joy too much!
That I once sat silently watching you sleeping
each and every heartbeat reassuring me that you live!
Your love secrets I gathered into my safe keeping,
giving you all I ever had to give!
With you gone the earth sits barren and crying,
a cry so very dark and shrill
Dark clouds descend- Announcing our love dying,
as fate hurries to hand me the bill
Surely you know I'll never dare to pay,
for sadness, heartache and misery so very deep
You sent- nothing left to say,
then walked away knowing my spirit would weep!
A new day has now arrived to gently recast
to another, the love you promised to forever last.

Magnetic anomalies
Often tied to a crystal
That submerged with Atlantis
In Bermuda’s Triangle
Flight 19 left Florida
Routine military squad
Training mission, planes on course
‘Til pilots saw something odd
Sea met sky; which way was up?
Compasses spinning about
Then radio transmissions
They were suddenly without
North and south undistinguished
Seemed like a frightening dream
As the air control on base
Saw them fade from radar’s screen
Rescue effort quickly launched
14 men were lost at sea
But to this day no one knows
What became of Flight 19
Just one of many cases
Bermuda’s Triangle lore
Pilots fall to certain doom
On the cold Atlantic floor
Atlantis technology
May have led to its demise
A sunken crystal’s power
Still lures aircraft from the skies

The moon vanished from the sky
They put it somewhere
Scientists had determined
It interfered with progress
