Ways Poems

Only two ways to live

Two ways to live, love:
Dwelling on banks of Ganges
Heavenward to move,
Betwixt breasts where heaven is, 
Forgetting moral judges.

IMPORTANT NOTE

We don't know it all
But we can never be late
We don't have it all
But we can never be liabilities 
Because we believe in our agility 
Showcasing our abilities 
Paving ways for possibilities.

We're not the most powerful 
But we're not preys 
We live with humility 
Doesn't mean we're timid
We show love
Doesn't mean we're  fearful.

We're silent
Doesn't

in a looking-glass that sees both ways

A poem is a mirror.
A ?o??i?.
A yes-I-can with crayons the color of Tachyons,
rushing out of whirl’ds where past-meets-future,
reaching for-words…
yet going back-words for some more.

It makes reflections, like a ripple,
but you’re at zero-point too,
where the puddle tessellates to a past in the future you,
and you reflect it back-words and for-words
’til it reverberates…
right there.
Now.
Here.
Like an invertendo-innuendo that’s

Far do wend ways of wishes

Till seen, to see her be the sole wish, which
Once fulfilled, to embrace her is the itch,
That done, there’s still no end, 
Ways of wish far do wend,
Never to part then be passion’s new pitch.

Set In Our Ways

I try to tell myself
as often as possible that
I know nothing 

you see, then there is
always open to learn

I see nothing
so my eyes must stay
sharp

I hear nothing
so I listen
even into the silence

I am never there
so time should not be
wasted

keep trying to prove
my love

appreciated by those
who also hold me dear

FAITH IN GOD WHO ENABLES US TO AMEND

Just two ways to go

Pray, what use vouching witless words so vain?
For men to tread only two tracks seem sane: 
Youthful beauty’s well-bestowed a bosom,
Retire or else to woods, make ho nor hum.

Pondering a Hoarders Ways

why do hoarders keep their garbage?
Their empty containers? Dirty diapers? Used dog pads?
If you hate cleaning like I do, turn on the TV show, Hoarders.
It is the best cure to my housework apathy.

There are small paths in the houses they feature
Hoarders don’t sleep in beds
Beds are covered with stuff
Hoarders live on piles of debris

Their bathrooms

Ladder Sways in So Many Ways

I linger, to pause for a while,
between the ladder rungs of what's been done below,
and what is yet to become above.
Below me stretches a dizzying array of tiers.
Each step is a relic of a decision,
I've made to take the next rung up or down—
Some firm, some sure, some splintered, and weathered.
Each step was risky, presuming

Ways Of Providence

A tumultuous time came unushered in my beleaguered life
that writhed in the crushing clutch of destructive agony. 
My heart broke, bled with desperation in pining pain, 
found no arms stretched to be embraced by solace.

At the edge of hope as the helpless mind sorely got
the unmistakable signal of the beginning of the end,
it surrendered to

Ways of Providence

“The only real influence I've ever had was over myself.” 
The Artist Edward Hopper ( Re: Altering or creating Providence.)


Assuming there are more brilliant ways,
That our life takes twists and turns like a maze,

Yet do we have influence over unforeseen plans, 
For our future and the way it evolves and spans ?

I believe that our

WAYS OF PROVIDENCE

   Am I walking through Ways of Providence ?
    or walking  just to struggle on my own !
   I am confused , also amused to sense
    reality ! Am I guided or lone ?

     Are pre- scheduled all the happenstances

Ways of Providence

He stood, arms, legs, outstretched, seemingly biding
in that lambent light against, darkening grey
where summer heat and storm are oft colliding;
in some time, the rain will come, yet not today.
Ancient dust will settle on his naked breast
slowly bake between the Sun and human sweat;
as his shadow slowly shifts from East to West
he knows, again, his payers

Ways of Providence

The young are prone to blithely say, “Time’s on my side,”
but youth’s no promise one will long on Earth abide.

“He died too soon,” we say beside a young one’s grave
and ponder why God opted not his life to save.

Those who have not achieved all they desire in life
sometimes blame others~~even God~~for pain and strife.
