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.
...
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
...
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:

"Unto Me?" I do not know you—
Where may be your House?
"I am Jesus—Late of Judea—
Now—of Paradise"—
Wagons—have you—to convey me?
This is far from Thence—
"Arms of Mine—sufficient Phaeton—
Trust Omnipotence"—
I am spotted—"I am Pardon"—
I am small—"The Least
Is esteemed in Heaven the Chiefest—
Occupy my House"—

You have changed me already. I am a fireball
That is hurtling towards the sky to where you are
You can choose not to look up but I am a giant orange ball
That is throwing sparks upon your face
Oh look at them shake
Upon you like a great planet that has been murdered by change
O too this is so dramatic this shaking
Of my great planet that is bigger than you thought it would be
So you ran and hid
Under a large tree. She was graceful, I think

Whenever a baby takes the first steps,
They will fall so many times.
But the baby never stops trying,
Until they can walk and then run.
Never stop trying; try until you win.
Whenever you fall,
Get up, wipe off the dust,
And try again and again.
...
Sometimes a moment ignites in sheer prayer,
Unto the swelling clouds of heavy rain—
'Take flight, take flight, O cloud, O tear-filled shroud,
Weep not, I plead! Float far, fly high, O cloud! '

Are we the progenitors, the progeny of our own neurotoxicity
poured into clear clean water
that will mirror our oldest hunger and fear
...
রক্তের সাগরে ভাসে শতাব্দীর লাজ,
ক্রন্দনের রোল তোলে এই ক্ষুব্ধ ধরা।
যুদ্ধের সাফল্যে আসে রাজকীয় তাজ,
বিজয়ীর উল্লাসেই বিশ্ব আজ মরা!
...
A sea of blood consumes a century's pride,
The weeping earth roars out in sudden dread;
The royal crown arrives with victory's tide,
While in triumphant joy, the world lies dead!
...
छत से पानी टपक रहा है ।
छप्पर का क्या आलम होगा? ? ? ? ? ? ?
सोचो सोच कर देखो थोड़ा
...
भंवर में जिसकी नाव है।
वो लड़ रहा चुनाव है।
मगर है हौसला बड़ा
...
बाहर के नहीं बिहार के हैं।
हम गंगा के उस पार के हैं।
जिस पार को मिथिला कहते हैं।

When l was five, l thought the best way out was to cry
I felt overwhelmed and without those shut-up snacks l could die
As l grew older, pain felt more real but endurable
For quite a while my soul was undefeatable

Last Wake-up Call
When will US wake up again
And see Mister Trump's damn disdain?

In the sweet forever,
Under a stubborn sky,
We will be together,
We will meet again,

A Light Called Diana
A gentle heart beneath the crown,
A quiet light the world looked down—

Time in Los Angeles
Beneath the palms of golden light,
Los Angeles glows into the night.

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—
