BOEMS BY JA WIZDUMBs BY JA

Poetry, is not just
The rhyming of some words
It's an expression of a feeling
Which a heart shepherds
...

Do a good deed
Or fill a need
Say something nice
Or give advice
...

Happiness, is like a flower blooming
Its petals hid, its beauty looming
Then it unfolds, in all its splendor
To makes us feel, so warm and tender
...

A message of love, peace and joy
Was gifted to us, by the birth of a boy
Bequeathed as well, for all to enjoy
...

To be or not to be
The question was asked
To think or not to think
And understand the past
...

DIFFERENCE
It is not
What you are thinking
That is
...

I look up at the stars and marvel at their setting
The darkness of the sky, which is used, as their netting
The vastness of our solar system, as we orbit round the sun
The immenseness of our planets and how each one is spun
...

Knowledge, freedom, acceptance
Insensitivity, subjugation, resistance
The extremes of our existence
...

If your secrets, you must tell
It will not, bode you well

If what you confess
...

Don't walk on grass
When it's wet
Or if it's moist with dew
...

Never
Lend
Never
Borrow
...

If we are old
Our time is cast
So younger lives
Should us outlast
...

If
I don't find love
My soul will die
...

Every year is a bounty
Each day a blessing
Every moment a godsend
Each breathe impressing
...

I dreamt I was
No longer old
My feet and hands
Were warm, not cold
...

I stared out the window
My brain, completely disengaged
No thoughts, no emotions
But a war was being waged
...

We look with our eyes, but cannot comprehend
Where, our tapestry starts and where it will end

Like actors on stage, our tapestries as background
...

You begged for my heart
So I gave it to share
But you snatched it away
And left me bare
...

When I was young
And in my prime
I could do it
All of the time
...

By marrying me, my wife proved
That she, had a lot of guts
Because
If it wasn't her, then someone else for sure
...
