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 -

Writing poetry is a bridge that allows people to express their feelings and make others live every single word they read. Poetry is to educate people, to lead them away from hate to love, from violence to mercy and pity. Writing poetry is to help this community better understand life and live it more passionately.

Ah, Grief, I should not treat you
like a homeless dog
who comes to the back door
for a crust, for a meatless bone.
I should trust you.
I should coax you
into the house and give you
your own corner,
a worn mat to lie on,
your own water dish.
You think I don't know you've been living
under my porch.
You long for your real place to be readied
before winter comes. You need
your name,
your collar and tag. You need
the right to warn off intruders,
to consider
my house your own
and me your person
and yourself
my own dog.
...
Body my house
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen
Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt
Where can I go
...
In the shadows of withered hopes,
where whispers coil like smoke in corners,
thoughts twist like vines, both sharp and sweet,
their thorns hidden, but ever lingers.
You stand outside, a watchful tree,
your roots in soil of unspoken fears,
while I'm a storm in a teacup,
turbulence brewing, hidden tears.

There was a Genie named Adil,
Who granted wishes for a thrill,
But some worked well, and some did not,
So everyone was in a spot!
...
When I valued time
I stopped waiting for maybes
I stopped replaying moments
that had already closed their doors
...
I feel like I am endowed. Maybe I am, I have helped people walk out difficulties in their life
My hands, a healing balm
My lips speak life and motivation
My eyes see clear and positive visions
...
My sons,
I wasn't always there
for every moment that mattered.
There were days I missed,
...
When death finds me,
It shall be wilderness.
As nature can understand more,
And better than human flesh.
...
The Earth spins round, a living, breathing ball,
And wise folks watch, to warn us of a fall.
They check the sun, its fiery, warming might,
And track the rocks that wander through the night.
...
A dark patch on the Sun, so wide,
Eight hundred thousand miles it did stride.
Bigger than our Earth, twenty-three times the size,
A sight that made scientists open their eyes.
...
⁹A rumble deep, a gentle sound,
When happy cats are all around.
It says, 'I'm safe, I'm feeling good, '
Just as a happy kitty should.

শিরোনামহীন -- ৪০
এই লেকের ধারে
একটা সন্ধ্যা ভেসে বেড়ায়।

শিরোনামহীন -- ৩৯
কত আর কথা বলবো,
প্রেম আর পৃথিবীর কথা।

You say you're done, but you never mean it,
Slam the door, then you're back by the weekend.
We burn it down just to feel something,
Guess we're addicted to the damage we're causing.
...
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 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 -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
