Premium MemberWhat Matters

When they ask: the answer is, I want to be cremated 
Smoke the man from yesterday that occasionally crumbles into tomorrow
Let the wind carry the residue of inspiration until it ashes back to God
Then spread my ashes in any of the places unchecked on my bucket list 
Don’t keep any of my un-swept broom dust

Premium MemberWhat is Beautiful?

What could be too beautiful to describe?
A sunset golden in the western sky.
Poetic words of wonder locked inside.
Music so melodic, it makes one cry.

What is so lovely, it happens unseen?
Thankfulness growing in a grateful heart.
Division of two from an unborn gene.
The passing of passion within the dark.

What words bring peacefulness to solemn ears?
“From all candidates,

Premium MemberWhat I Read

I once read about a middle ages warrior
Who was forced into a secret hide away.

With time on his hand, he observed an ant.
The ant continued his effort in scalling a wall.

The ant was carrying a grain of corn and made
Repeated attempts to climb the wall with the corn.

The ant failed 69 times in his most

What weaponry would she not wield to win

Hypnotise to intoxicate, make fun,
Annoy, amuse, play-sport, or depress men,
Embrace or snub, damsel doe-eyed,
Hijacking heart display no compassion,
What weapons would she leave aside?

What the tea leaves reveal

From a loud-mouth, world’s cease-fire arranger
To desperate man adrift, in danger,
Which, naught quite was rendered,
Panned, having surrendered,
And what is worse than that,
For a rival to bat,
Dubbed as salesman and Putin’s messenger!

What My Smile Hides

What My Smile Hides 

See the blood in my hands
Think the wounds that he has
I try this path to avoid
Guess all that hate n anger filled the void
For look a volcano my temper explode 

I'm behind bars of pain and regret
Yet my heart and soul fight to forget
For all this is happening in my head

Premium MemberWHAT THE PLANET NEEDS

There is an indigenous piece of wisdom
I believe more people today should to keep in mind…

The planet does not need more successful people.
It needs more peacemakers
more healers
more restorers
more storytellers
and more lovers of all kinds.

What Then?

If for thy love my head should fall, what then?
If union with thee becomes for me, what then?

That I may tell the tale of thy love by heart,
One story of thy passion I impart—what then?

Though years I burn in exile’s piercing flame,
If suddenly thou shinest like the moon, what then?

Last night, lost in longing for

What we had

“WHAT WE HAD”
 
      Our path was foggy,
But somehow , we made it clear.
We built something new,
Something that filled our hearts.
        It touched every edge of us,
Left no part untouched.
We were in love,
Deeply.
        But as we

What was his problem??

What was his problem?
He never did anything below the belt in this world.

What was his problem?
He never looked at a girl with the wrong sense of commitment.

What was his problem?
Looking at every possible thing in life
and trying to enjoy it,
even when he was suffering deep inside.

What was his problem?
When he was told he should be
