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.
...
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.
...
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;
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Day one to one day
A change nobody could
Prepare the human soul for
When memories
Become daydreams
That fade away with time
When the day you were
Born turns to the day you
Die and everyone
In your past
Has kids
They cry
As they see your
Body lie still
They will wonder why
You wouldnt stay
Atleast one more day
Dont hurt yourself to get rid of the
Pain, the emotinal not physical
Dont cut because your in vain.
Dont think the world is better
Without you here, the world gets
Wetter.
Drenched with tears from
The ground to the sky

Let's go see Old Abe
Sitting in the marble and the moonlight,
Sitting lonely in the marble and the moonlight,
Quiet for ten thousand centuries, old Abe.
Quiet for a million, million years.
Quiet-
And yet a voice forever

Today is a blessed day
Blessed are the upright
Saviour comes sunny hour
Lost the soul of the upright
Nation and town will yield sadness
Saviour comes sunny hour
The just shall be saved
The saved shall live in joy
Blessed are the upright in heart.

Morning was bright
and brighter were his men
after many a twist and turn,
he was born,
...
Whether it's romance or rejection, the highlight or the sorrow,
There's one choice or no selection that I must face tomorrow.
Today, to fall in love so fast, or out of love once more,
I kept it going to the last, as that's what love lives for.
...
You make such a noise
You scatter my dreams
You cannot tell the sound of singing
You songless peevish thing.
...
Don't believe in spirits, angels, gods or ghosts, but won't deny what I see or hear
I perceive that near it a tree nods, heavenly hosts singing so clearly in my ear
Walking toward it the sound diminished, fading off into only creaking trees
What had soared I found finished, evading fervent seeking, a harmonious tease in the breeze
...
With a bunch of thieves,
An honest one always grieves,
But one day, they'll build trust,
And the thieves will learn what's just.
...
As a storm during my peace,
To steal, all of my joys.
You brought grief, a friend along,
Accepted, believing for me, it belonged.
...
Your thoughts are the flame,
I burn forever and it's insane.
Your thoughts are breathing air,
My oxygen, needed for survival dear.
...
உன்னை காணும்பொழுது எனுள் தீபாவளி,
மனதுக்குள் சந்தோஷ வேடியுடன் ஒளி.
நீ சிரித்தால் எனுள் புத்தாண்டு,
என் நினைவுகளை நீ வந்து பந்தாடு.
...
I sowed the seeds of hope and trust,
In a place where it doesn't grow, it can't harvest.
It doesn't matter how much hard work I invest,
It is always consumed and damaged by pests.
...
I live where you drive
the uninvited guest you cannot evict
Your contractors come with their trucks
their surveys, their grand plans
...
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.
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
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

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:

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—
