on a hard branch
there is a new branch
watching it grow
not daytime
bathed in the morning light
among the leaves
saying hello without being jealous.

When you give insightful thought,
You can only be as you ought;
God has created you as you are:
Another creation of absolute awe!
So, do not be depressed or distressed;
For, you’re one of the Creator’s best.
Just know that being tested with stress,
Makes you no more or less than the rest;
Thus, be all that beautiful being blessed
To be—being here for all others to see;
That the creator never made any of us less
To be the treasured beauty we ought to be.
God has given your proud mommy to you
And she has given all of you to all of us:-
Be that loving gift of your blessed beautiful hue,
Rather than a foggy mirror image covered in dust.

Seeing all beauties of the world
Before they get tainted
Wondering around like a bird
Exploring things__ nobody has seen before
Paintings the world around,
With your own brush,
Molding it like an artist
Learning new things like a little child
Curious enough to reach last corner of the sky
Innovative enough to transcends
the barriers of time and space,
of land and of heavens
Diving deep down in the sea
Seeing coral leaves full of life with naked eyes
Owing a magical wand like an Elf
Sway it, and change the world
Lift sorrows from the world
And rain bounties from above
And to live in Eden
With the loved ones
Forever and ever and ever___
How far human thoughts can travel
How wild it can go
Little heart has so many dreams
Tiny little soul want everything on its door
(Paghunda)

I needed that warm,
crystal tulip of wine
to wash away
the knot in my innermost…
wiping away, like a priest
or a bartender cleanses a glass,
moving me somewhere over the rainbow
loosening the ache of shoulders
and the nerves from my stomach
wiping away six months of work days,
I am beginning to feel like my real self
again. laughing with family over
silly things. we sit around a round
carousel of a table, cherishing.
i’ve not had to set my alarm
and pry my eyes open
for days.
that lovely vine did the trick,
loosening the vapid grapes,
cleansing the windows of me.
and i know i’ll cherish
soon a mimosa
with my daughter-in-law
cheers to a couple
relaxing weeks
even if i must work hard
replacing tit for tat
‘tis a break
from all of that…

Wipe, wipe, wipe got to make myself clean, father Martin has a big bean.
Uncle's gonna get angry if he knows I'm two-timing again.
For money I be wipin Uncle Ben.
he found out I wasn't fully cleaned.
Now it's my face that's gonna get creamed.
Turned out father Martin and Uncle Ben both got what they were wiping for in the end.

A bandit who thieves with the moon
Finds daylight arrives far too soon
His looting is brash
Despoiling the trash
A boon, what a raccoon leaves strewn ...
Another hides in cynoglossum
Awaiting the scraps 'coonies toss him
Not there to impress
But to clean up the mess
That's why the 'possum's so awesome ...
Should previous-mentioned so lapse
Forsaking debris when night wraps
As morning sun grows
Those early-day crows
Are happy to clean up the scraps!

WIPING OUT POLLEN
There was a young man from Marietta.
With the pollen, he had a vendetta.
With hurricane sneeze,
He shook all the trees.
Then his white sleeve, force cleaned, the excreta.

Why have an empty heart when lovers smile...
doesn't passion reflect love?
Wipe your sorrow away!
