strong blusters of thronging wind
blew through the town's streets last night
whirling with a forceful might
as heard in their skirl

wanting a huge stage
to display her excellence
for all the world's eyes

alas she cried
on getting a tiny platform
not too grand of size

tolerating trolls is
a very difficult thing to do
as their behaviour has
a wickedness of cue

they establish their awful
dispositions upon us
and they don't much like it
when we kick up a fuss

but why should our community
accept the unacceptable
from they who are truly of a
class so despicable

free-wheeling around
doing as they wish
we must reject them
like a pariah fish

She looked directly in my eyes,
and then she looked away.
It really came as no surprise,
that I should feel this way.

I'd seen it coming for so long,
I knew what lie in store.
I simply wanted one more song,
I yearned for just one more.

For she could take my breath away,
with songs so sweet and clear.
I'd go to listen every day,
just for the chance to hear.

To be around that strong sweet voice,
I could not help but smile.
Each day I had no other choice,
but to listen for awhile.

Who am I to want for more?
She's gone now....  yet I linger.
Yearning for what went before,
inspiration I could bring her.

In dreams last night I heard the phone,
a constant steady ringing.
I said hello to a voice unknown,
until I heard the singing.


Everyone lives life as it comes
But what is life without LOVE
Come let us be ONE
Share our sorrows and pain
Why should we be strangers now
When we are in LOVE
When we are LOVERZ

Come and accord
Your melody with my tune
Let us sing together and
Make the world listen
To our LOVE-songs

Let the world know
The ways of our LOVE
To give away everything for LOVE
To sacrifice one's joy
For BELOVEDz joy

What is the use of
Living life just for oneself
If you've taken money - salary
For doing some good
What's that good worth for?
There are millions like that
The world will forget them all

Only those will be remembered
Only those will be given
Entry into the doors of heaven
Who have smiled in LOVE
Who are devoted in LOVE

Ups and downs are Nature of LOVE
Those are the style of LOVERZ
Why not forget what happened in past
And embrace each other FOREVER
Let us be ONE SOUL
By burning the flame of two hearts


Everyone lives life as it comes
But what is life without LOVE
Come let us be ONE
Share our sorrows and pain
Why should we be strangers now
When we are in LOVE
When we are LOVE-RZ

A fine play
of the
clay
soft
and sift
moistened
turns malleable
gathered and made
to spin on a slow wheel
formed with shaping hands
baked at a high temperature
comes out a beautiful craft
and both of 'em are ready
an urn from the pottery
and  the  poetry!!


Another shape poem......trying the analogy between poems and vases

Dream of me
I am real...
I am where smiles are made
and tears fade away
Where hope springs forth
Away from the darkness
of the earth

I am the glow of the moon
and all the stars in the sky
those who seek the light
shall have me as their guide

I am the red bird or butterfly you see
Just keep your eyes open... to find me
I am where tomorrow is coming
and hope always holds on
My darling
I am never truly gone....❤
I have been dreaming of my mother lately and do not want to wake up because it feels so real and I miss her so. I wrote this from her perspective writing to me

most of us don't get enough sleep
we're deprived of its good boon
the right amount is eight hours deep
then work days will beam of moon

we're deprived of its good boon
by not jumping under the quilt
then work days will beam of moon
at times we appear to wilt

by not jumping under the quilt
everyone of us are worn out
at times we appear to wilt
which isn't a super tale of spout

everyone of us are worn out
because we lack adequate rest
which isn't a super tale of spout
so to slumber long would be best

because we lack adequate rest
functioning can go on the blink
so to slumber long would be best
as we'll feel fresher in wink

functioning can go on the blink
the right amount is eight hours deep
as we'll feel fresher in wink
most of us don't get enough sleep

Don't tell me this isn't a movie.

It is, I just know it.
The characters are all aligned.
Everyone is benign.
Life is divine, and it's a movie.

How could it not be?
The scenes are graphic, the thoughts are real
and the effects are that of, a movie.


I'm not real, but I am real in this movie.
He is a character, she is a character, and we all bond
We all get along and are perfectly placed in the scene,

the scene of this, movie.
