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.
...
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.
...
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
...
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 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 -

I thought of you and how you love this beauty,
And walking up the long beach all alone
I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder
As you and I once heard their monotone.
Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me
The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --
We two will pass through death and ages lengthen
Before you hear that sound again with me.
...
There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
...
Once a Man rose high on the ground
Showing us miracles what is no manfound.
Teaching us to love so to share
Bore the pain what we should bear.
All we did is no one should hear
Spited on him in hate and fear.
Yet it didn't please our veins
Until his flesh and body is slain.
But that can't stop the heart of love
He had risen from the dead above.

Smile boldly bedight,
A dazzlin' girl in twilight's light,
Playin' with a smile in breeze,
As my sight sees, a day sung by sweet fine breeze,
...
Splendour, indeed, my lady were,
In my thoughts, as a chandelier, right there,
And your dazzle does bring of an undying memory,
Me as a child in such unending story,
...
I have lived with worry, ‘twixt a thought fearing you'll leave in hurry,
And this everlasting worry comes with its soul rushing in hurry,
I could not be like others—having a thought that never bothers,
‘Tis you I only think about, and not others—a thought that bothers,
...
A beauteous story in mine mind it repose,
To recite to thee to see an anecdote of two gorgeous souls,
For her and him, and the universe ne'er blinks, and it sinks in the throbbing of the waters of love,
That these people have,
...
A maiden with such beauty bedight:
She wears sparkles on her lips, like light,
Alit by a kiss,
That mine lips mostly miss,
...
There sprang fair lips that sung,
A voice from the idle lips that ne'er sung,
‘Twas a day the lips of her sung,
A beautiful fervid day brought by her—I was among,
...
Orange disc of fire
Melted gradually into
The vast horizon.
...
Within the silence of the Infinite,
a subtle whisper becomes the Beloved's flame.
Soul's breath, body's dust, heart aflame—
veils fall away in His Name.
...
Despair,
Under the weight of power, attacks, and lawsuits,
Driven by greed and lust for wealth—
Today, it is drowning,
...
One day I will end,
Cease to be
No more chocolate, no more tea.
The sun will rise and set without 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)

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

Rappelle-toi Barbara

Et tu marchais souriante

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—
