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.
...
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 -

I have gone backward in the work,
The labour has not sped,
Drowsy and dark my spirit lies,
Heavy and dull as lead.
How can I rouse my sinking soul
From such a lethargy?
How can I break these iron chains,
And set my spirit free?
There have been times when I have mourned,
In anguish o'er the past;
And raised my suppliant hands on high,
While tears fell thick and fast,
And prayed to have my sins forgiven
With such a fervent zeal,
An earnest grief --- a strong desire
That now I cannot feel!
And vowed to trample on my sins,
And called on Heaven to aid
My spirit in her firm resolves
And hear the vows I made.
And I have felt so full of love,
So strong in spirit then,
As if my heart would never cool
Or wander back again.
And yet, alas! how many times

Go thou to Rome,--at once the Paradise,
The grave, the city, and the wilderness;
And where its wrecks like shattered mountains rise,
And flowering weeds, and fragrant copses dress
The bones of Desolation's nakedness
Pass, till the spirit of the spot shall lead
Thy footsteps to a slope of green access
Where, like an infant's smile, over the dead
...
If you'll come with me, I'll go back
To where the River Luce falls blue
Through glens of Hazel to the sea
Where my heart lies and yours lies too
If you'll go with me, I'll go too
To sit and watch the Fulmars soar
Beyond the cliff towards the sun
Beyond the horn that roars no more
...
We opened the door (death crept in)
As the day surrendered to night
we opened the door

How many disabled vulnerable
Single adults of working age
Does it take to suffer
Ever more financial hardship
...
सूनी डगर पे मैं तेरा नाम लेता रहा
हाँ... नाम लेता रहा...
तू ग़ैरों की महफ़िल में, मैं तन्हाई सहता रहा
बेवफ़ा... तन्हाई सहता रहा |

A till and may to dear a gray,
Fur pell and put of fomae,
Great lush and fought to shallow,
Inspite of flats and turtle shove.
...
Incessant rain;
no umbrella- a frog outside
the mushroom cap.
...
Once and every taken seep,
Delighted by the river heap,
A spin of shore and leafting dear,
A thun and tall of loarfing wear.
...
HEART
There are no compartments in my heart and no walls,
no red streaks in eyes and no stains on the mind.
In my heart premises that knows no horizons
...
NOT LONG AGO
Those were the times, in fact, not long ago
I used to sit for hours in Pooja room
Till turn ecstatic and from eyes tears flow.

Did anybody see the movie TRANS. I saw it last year and recommended to many friends. It is fact that the religious fanaticism and conversions were started by Christianity and Islam. But Hindus never even dreamt of conversion of people of other faiths into Hinduism. But the question is why conversations? Is it a dictum of Islamic and Christian scriptures, or is there any other reason. Does conversation from one faith to another enables a human see God, get any divine benefits or are there any reasons?
John Perkins wrote in his dynamic book THE CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN that all religious conversions are part of imperialistic nations' political strategy. CIA is said to be behind conversions. Jihad etc. are not to please the God, but to expand their territories and occupy other nations. It's as simple as that. Many lower level pastors and Mullahs who are being brainwashed, don't know this political background and innocently they become victims of this political game.
The question is why countries like US, UK, CHINA, RUSSIA crave to expand their territories, occupy other nations. A Country actuallt means it's rulers, Presidents, PMs, Dictators etc. Why they want to do this. Why they don't consider that humans are the same everywhere? ! Why there is bigotry, discrimination and hatred for other countries, people of other faiths? To propagate why they are abusing the Gods of other religions? Very very mysterious questions!
Why remnant communists are not realizing that their party ideals failed in big Russia and so many other nations drove people into poverty. Why still they are proffessing their ideals and trying to implement their futile political thoughts.

To make a meatloaf you take three cups of Jack Black mix in a cup of Chris Farley and add a pinch of Zero Mostel.
Mix and fold pour it in a mold then cook it over a fire well it will come out like a bat out of hell
Smell, and you can tell it is Paradise by the dashboard lights
The odor of the song will last all day long and into seductive nights as well as the next day's fights

Calm eyes that glanced at me,
I remember,
like a nest with an egg.
...
From nothing begins the birth of all things,
In silent emptiness, the cosmos finds its start,
From dust and darkness, every living being sings,
While stars awaken with a beating heart,
...
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 a 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
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—
