Veracity
I have often wondered if they blundered
or if there's any truth to the advertising
within the words written on me
a simple clothing label advising
a promise a guarantee
100% Cotton
but does it refer to the garment or myself
the mere material it is printed on
a paradox perhaps
all of which goes to show
it's a dilemma the answer to which
this enquiring

I stared at the ceiling and wondered how the body keeps breathing when the soul gives up
I stared at the ceiling and wondered how the body keeps breathing when the soul gives up,
like a ship lost in the sea of silence, rudderless, drifting aimlessly,
they told me pain makes you stronger, but it left me numb,
like an echo of a heart that has ceased to truly beat in the world.
I wore sadness

if you wondered
If you wondered if my feelings are real
You need to hear my heart pounding beat
Racing like a speeding fleet
Straight to the amplifier of my heart
The loudness and throbbing ring
Completes my wants and desires within
Longing for your kiss, your touch
Bringing us closer to Neverland
As the sky touches the stars
No matter how far

Have you ever wondered what poets hide in their minds
Have you ever wondered what poets hide in their minds,
where universes of words and unspoken dreams lie?
Look closely, but carefully, lest you become the beast
that slowly, slowly splits their skull of fallen stars.
Poets are not made of salt, but of the dust of fallen stars,
easy to break, impossible to fully decipher,
and now, open their minds

Have you ever wondered?
The Prophet Of Dumaz Speaks
(A lone voice whispers)
Hey you
You do realize
You picked this life
Before you were born
All the people you've met
Loved
Hated
Family
Friends
Lovers
Situations
Hardships
Encountered
In whatever nation
When you signed your soul's timeline
Up high
Somewhere
In the Deep Divine
It may be a strange thing
Knowing this
But consoling
All the same
In a bizarre way
Souls
Some say
Need to face
Trials and

Have You Ever Wondered
Have you ever found yourself asleep dreaming of Heaven?
Have you ever had the chance occurrence of dreaming about Him?
Have you ever wondered if there is something more to all of this?

what about pink we wondered
Everything was pink for Zee when she was a child
Hot pink, light pink, medium pink, nothing blah or mild
Pink bed, pink pillow, pink closet, pink clothes, pink doll
If it was not pink, Zee simply did not want it at all
Imagine our shock when she joined the military at eighteen
Our princess was now a soldier, which

I often wondered, in the night of my thoughts
I often wondered, in the night of my thoughts,
Why is it so hard to find ourselves in the sea of life,
We pass by each other, like ephemeral shadows,
Without noticing, without truly touching.
Our souls, in their silence, look at each other and yearn,
Dreaming of a lost harmony, of a warm embrace,
Of a kiss that would unite

I wondered through the woods
I wandered through the woodlands green
And heard the birdsong fill the air
I saw the little streams serene
With speckled trout that darted there
I felt the breeze upon my face
And smelled the fragrance of the flowers
I marveled at the natural grace
And wished to linger for some hours
But then I heard a distant bell
That called me back to

Have You Ever Wondered
Have you ever wondered how many people ,
Are walking in the street,
Looking to do harm,
And if your acknowledgement of them in passing,
Could give them second thoughts.

I Wandered and I Wondered
I wandered and I wondered,
About all the pieces of my life
That came together in a puzzle,
Causing so much strife
The struggle, loss, pain and betrayal at hand
Feeling at times, sinking in deep quicksand
Those many times my heart broken like a mirror,
I could see the many flaws that remain in me
I wandered and I wondered,
About all my

In Case You Wondered
you won't see me scream
you won't see me angry
i won't stomp my feet
i won't raise my voice
just because there's no drama
don't think everything's ok
stick around
you haven't seen
my fifty shades of grey
when i'm disappointed or unimpressed
i can run the whole gamut
in every shade and every hue
if i was happy
you would know
if things were ok
you would know
just

I Have Wondered
I have wondered whether birds of different species converse.
Do they hold contests to see who can fly fastest and highest?
Are trees standing side by side for decades communicating?
Do the aquarium fishes discuss “those” folk outside the glass?
Is it possible a rose withdraws slightly to keep us from picking?
When wood borers stop in midair to stare,

When I Wondered Why
Dawn dawned, showed her gold
And avian band unfolded,
My sleep lost her hold
And I wondered why
Such splendid jewel should turn jade
And in day's lap die!
