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.
...
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 -
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends

What needs my Shakespear for his honour'd Bones,
The labour of an age in piled Stones,
Or that his hallow'd reliques should be hid
Under a Star-ypointing Pyramid?
Dear son of memory, great heir of Fame,
What need'st thou such weak witnes of thy name?
Thou in our wonder and astonishment
Hast built thy self a live-long Monument.
For whilst toth' shame of slow-endeavouring art,
Thy easie numbers flow, and that each heart
Hath from the leaves of thy unvalu'd Book,
Those Delphick lines with deep impression took
Then thou our fancy of it self bereaving,
Dost make us Marble with too much conceaving;
And so Sepulcher'd in such pomp dost lie,
That Kings for such a Tomb would wish to die.

Dear Reader,
A poem at the centre of the collection,
Is missing, as you can gather.
To speak truly, its absence, equally
Baffles me. Did I lose it to computer virus
Or did the censor excise it;
Or were there only twenty-nine in all,
Making this the unwritten poem?
Or does this represent the overwhelmingly absent presence,
...
I remember a girl with raven hair.
They called her stubborn.
They called her strange.
But I watched her speak in a language
no one cared to learn.
On the playground, the sun blazed hot on the asphalt,
kids screamed like sirens,
balls slammed against walls,
whistles cut the air like knives.
...
Appreciate everything like a gentle breeze
Which comes sometime genteel
Wheels does not stop as a breed
Indeed every work has a depth deep
...
Who cares in thunderbolt
Who cares of empty rogue
Since how long you frog
Then come to be seen with log
...
He never used to keep the of a girl
Though she used to be her girl
His words splash and become swirl
The passion echoed like a whirl

Words
Words are like mirror in life which takes you further into intricacies of life based on awe and fear and gaiety.However there does not seem to be homogeneity of ideas in every person's life.That is the versatility spice of life.
Nothing gets amalgamated, a tone of sparrow with beautiful melodious voice, cooing of pigeons, mew of cats, wrestling of leaves and sudden awareness of wind creates universal grandeur and antiquity in the whole aquarium of life which remains same since eon.
However words are either bullets or butterflies.According to one Japanese proverbs'A tongue is only six inches long but it can kill a person of six feet long'.

Who keep everything in the best condition
Whom God loves there is no need of another addition
In odd circumstances
and even in division
...
Bliss O holy spirit
Where angels come to meet
Bliss O lovely feet
Which is nifty and neat
...
Smell sweet fragrance of flowers
Have the best optimistic hours
Like a shiny sun through which the light flickers
And make the fruit ripe and crop ripe
...
Humanity is not an art
Humanity is not to become smart
Humanity is not burden or craft
Humanity is not to be depart
...
Prayer is a spiritual path
Better than gold mines
Prayer is a different path
It stakes are too high
...
Thou art shall see love
Thou art shall see liveliness
That could behold thee
Like a tall slender tree
...
Love is wholeness of mind body and spirit
Love is coolness of mind body and spirit
Bring this inside out
Without unlovely feeling
...
What are the next burning question
Because everyone wants to know a more of you
Or a more of me
Whoever you are just come to me
...
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:

(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 -

When Gentlemen can see—
