Poems
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Society has good intentions Bureaucracy is like a friend
5 years ago - other furies other losses -
America's
trying to control the uncontrollable Forest fires, Vice
The essential smile In the essential sleep Of the children Of the essential mind
I'm
all thru playing the American
Now I'm going to live a good quiet life
The
world should be built for foot walkers
Oily
rivers Of spiney Nevady
I
am Jake Cake
Rake
Write like Blake
The
horse is not pleased Sight of his
gorgeous finery
in the dust Its silken
nostrils
did disgust
...
They lie in parallel rows,
on ice, head to tail,
each a foot of luminosity
barred with black bands,
which divide the scales'
radiant sections
like seams of lead
in a Tiffany window.
Iridescent, watery
...
I never thought a day like this will come
I would resume writing poems
I left my pen
When my ink what full
Never though I could found solace here again
Now I write
I was In love
Deeply inlove
With someone I fear everyday that i would loose
...
Remembering brief instants of happiness; a bird taking wing;
Sunset behind a hill, my father's voice.
Some dreams that almost walked by my side; one peaceful night.
The fugitive moments when my existence felt right.
...
Giants walk in tales of old,
Fomorians fierce, with stories told.
Red-haired giants, tall and grand,
Footprints left upon the land.
...
Our love has its own course,
it flows through untamed
and unyielding waters.
Those who seek to engineer
...
When I look in the Mirror what do I see
A stranger looking back directly back at me
The lines on my face look haggard and drawn
My chin sags a bit not only when I yawn
...
Zo men de onderdanen leert
in onderdanigheid presteert
zo eert de hond zijn baasje
die hem conditioneert
...
Drunk on a cigar, aroma of aged leaves smoldering tar, its point a glowing star
Wavering smoke drifts, leaning against walls lifts in the back of the bar
Fragrances meld between fingers held, hugging drooping gray ash
Rolled bills the nose fills with the intoxicating perfume of burning cash
...
night time's orchestra
moon shining on all the world
...
Too much together!
Every night when I don't get sleep
I say unto myself
...
I have given you all the emotions of my heart
My love's roses blossom only for you
You're the light without which my world is the darkest night
...
There are no subjects in this queendom
There are only the queen's friends
I am the happy queen of this queendom
Luckily, I have a sea of books
...
Yesterday he spoke to me as usual casual chats,
Today they say he is no more
Couldn't accept,
For the last 16 years we come almost together to the office
...
The mountains echoed our laughter,
After, after, after..
Over the riverbridges of our trust,
Rust, rust, rust..
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

(This is a composition in Pilipino Language the first one I did, the only one, and hope some of the Filipinos will get this funny poem in this site. The poem is updated with English translation)
Noong taong otsenta dekada

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

you put this pen
in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen
...
On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:
...
If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:
...
A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
