Heatwave

It is back with a vengeance,
chasing away the cold wind,
The heat testing our patience
from the morn' till the evening

A season filled with frustration,
squeezing the last drop of sweat...
Mortals succumb to emotions,
tempers flared as hearts bled

Brazen fingers stripped Angsana
baring her limbs in lust
bruising too the fledgling birds
nestled in her cozy lush

A Love

I sought love gurgling as a child.
Safe in arms, my mother’s smile
Memory faded as years passed,
I sought love, the die was cast

Friend’s love did see me through.
Each day carrying out tasks anew.
These bonded as my mother so,
In my heart and mind they did grow

I kept seeking things in a world so new,
A kindred Spirit into my life flew.
Yet a fleeting visit was all I had,
They left me but I didn’t feel sad.

I feel Myself

When I walk this lane,
I feel the roughness of this path.
When I run on the track,
I feel the difficulty of my speed.
When I look at you,
I feel I can do much better.
When I sit all alone,
I feel I have something to do.
When I sleep in the corner,
I feel I should get up.
When I stand by my decisions,
I feel I am what I am.

Owl... a symbol of intelligence

Why is an OWL
a symbol of intelligence

because when the world sleeps
it keeps vigil....
no security is needed for it
and
when you are all awake
you know the guy is asleep
why trouble a sleeping dragon
let it sleep

and

so the intelligence emanates
from a night's dream
ask any poet or scientist

how did one solve the question
like the Benzene one
in a sweet summer's night's dream
the creator came clean

Destiny

her smile,
her eyes
inviting.
her words,
even hello,
exciting.
but i can see the scars
beneath those clothes,
sense the cuts
bleeding out her soul.
beautiful girl,
why must you live
to die this way?
who cut you
to the point where
you are happy in this place?

Some Harsh Truths

So many times we have seen deaths occurred
and yet, we still took this short life for granted

We wish to have a long life
but our actions turn it into a lie

We often regret our own actions too late,
after our loved ones are already dead

We judged others because of their flaws
as we remain ignorant of our own scores

When we point at another person in condemnation
three of our own fingers are pointing back at us

We say we wanted to save the world for our future.
but we are its worst enemy like no other

the visitation

a jocund Amoeba in wonder-world
uses feelers
whisk terraces of vermin escort
anvil of fez
cowering echo considering.
unite my path finder........ foundering
sweat gland glad
showering torrents,
fixative nomads

audience becomes evasive ethos
adherence casual, yet tap strut
in the swarmp. Tick dwells
well his waters spume
spurious burglar overtaken

A Sailor's Heart

A short while back
my heart set sail,
and as harmless as it was;

the journey wept
to no avail,
'til oceans formed, because.

Thus, so the day
did linger on,
'til every well ran dry;

I knew it not
my heart 'twas gone,
causing my ship to die.

I'm not a man
who sails the sea;
so, forgive me if I'm wrong;

but when hearts leave
all must agree,
the ship and crew tag 'long.

Medication Nation

She woke up in the morning
Took a pill she took everyday
"Meds knew what to do,
They knew what to say. "

Everyone took them
Mostly her foes
side affects we're strong
As they all now know

The pill took her life
And weight loss took cold
Her legs were skinny
Her skin grey, and cold

It's not too bad
She always said with a grin
A pill help her be better
The pill helped her win

Who was She

She came for a moment
a fleeting one
just to give me energy
Divine

she was drunk by my eyes
and like wine dissolved
into the universe
in a momentous moment

gave me the fruits of joy
men need most
of an intent
to creativity
a beautiful content
and in the eyes of god
she merged after that monumentous moment...
