Field of Life

In the field of life-
There’s a cause to strife.
For us to thrive-
We all must strive.

There are oppositions-
Beware of commotions.
Give no suppositions,
Attacks are no assumptions.

As a team we play-
With a goal every day.
The drive to win,
The play all have seen.

Every tactics with a pass-
Is a marriage with the grass.
The children of the couple;
Others it can topple

With hands on deck
There’ll be no wreck
For a goal-
Is a radiation of every role

Black Seed

Keep me in the midst of my peers-

Far from the weeds hated. 

We are brothers they say-

And there I shall reside. 

Lower me deep though,

Far from their reach.

A root of no trace-

I will grow to be.

 

One eye out and one in-

Is my guard of safety.

To grow in strength-

For them to wane.

I'm not a fam of theirs,

To fear for their end.

Their space I must enlarge in-

Spread my tent far to their doors.

 

Their crops I will possess-

Enrich my branch with their drinks.

When they knock for remuneration, 

Crumps for their silence I rain.

Wet their floors with sweat,

Scatter the leaves that grow wings.

Burrow the grounds they root in

And cut their shoots to never rise again.

Be Creative

BE CREATIVE

Being creative
May be addictive
To think right-
Is less might

Rest your muscle
To pen a puzzle
Let your words scream
Bring to pass a dream

Strike men in the heart
Thrust through them like dart
Make the world reason new
But make those that ponder few

Turn your ink to a print,
Let your lines run a sprint
Form a thoughtful world of track
That their pace may run the track

Make the world innovative
And let their thoughts associative
For the word makes the world
So pen and make it called

That the living-
May reason
And those that read
May lead

The Obscure Love

The cash and carry of love
Which summer doth requisite
When will thou birth me a dove?
Soon autumn will bid for hunt-		5
To gratify winter’s drudge
Oh! Far is the sight of spring
None can pacify better
For season flies without wings
And quick does it charm scald beauty
 Of whose time shall be pleaded?	10
As vaguely summer doth leave
Crow beckons with a caw
The womb that is long barren
Whom for eon is not loved
And in earth’s hate it joy is lost		15
Quick drains life off it victim

The Wind

Free flowing here and there
Filling the void everywhere
A thousand miles within a call
Yet not a space to lie and fall

Within a sphere their beauty I clean
At their beck and call though far reaching
Their holes I feel pouring my soul
To the dreamland I meet their goal

I haste for no time
Though the dim is my prime
Yet I’m far from a friend
Their start is my end

So on I go

To You

If I a song to you will harp-
Such that you I to muse
That'd be my chant-
So your artery and vein fuse

If a word will call
To which your heart wake
The tongue be drunk till the dusk-
To see in your pupil your lush

If be will I
A fountain to descend
I'll mountain you to the summit-
Place, where love is no beginning
Conceives no end

Aims are to the sky
Towering through the lands
But my love a space to be
Endless, you to fill-
Even till your lids grace the bed

Hysteria

If we are a breed of beings,

Species of like doings-

In the Milky Way

Why not be that today?

 

Have I turn a bat

Lost my light of the frat

Or a Braconid

To my kind?

 

Why the abrupt repellency

To the unfolding literacy

How will I feed my stance

Upon the extinct of other hands?

 

Why the weighed loathsome

The infinite gruesome

Of my phylum-

Within my kingdom?

 

What's with the conscription,

The circumscprition-

Of liberty

Stamping it in entirety?

 

What's with the thirst of a fuehrer,

The queer conceit of the other-

To weightily parti pris

And indulge in an hostility spree?

 

Can I not be mindful of the Scythrops,

Make of their trait crops,

That will acculturate

Rather than berate?

 

Can I not be for the domain,

My essence extended to the terrain,

Express compassion without pain

And adore for no gain?

 

Instead, I lushed

To hike mass agitative state,

That deludes the mind

Of my kind-


To prey on their own.

The Mud, I Long It End

The shadows are nearing their loss
E’en the rays are growing weak
Foams darken as the bolt strikes
A blizzard of drops I fear it is

The prints! How far will thy end be?
Hmm! I see thy mother, her tents-
With depths about she scatters
Thick and sticky they stand judging

Soon fall my hope from whence it hung,
The stream of gums there it may drop
Yet ceaseless my arteries work
Re-tuning my heartbeat’s pounds

Issues cover gold polish-
Like the body that travels white
A curse it stamps on their souls
Sinking the hope they pride on

Quick to fail is my faith for the-
Irony my thought feeds it with
Can only get better, but worse-
It seems and disheartening it is

A once bad experience turns worse
A tale, the promise becomes-
Of a path so good e’en the-
Festival ram would not walk on

Well! Will speak well of what I-
Want and expect that which I long-
For, trusting an appointed-
Time waits it drainage for a new track

My Family

Though knitted, yet far reaching
Close, but deceiving
Unbroken we are living

The Sun

Though exhausting and needed-
For intelligence prime,
Yet cannot be yearned for.
