We live in a social space, with a unique niche,
Each of us have our roles to play unwaveringly.
We have an unwritten constitution of rights,
In an amalgamation of families, called society.
...

Afternoon showers in mid summer were in blissful swing,
Nature's setting of a scene, a sweet romantic thing.

We sit in our abodes in our long and narrow lanes,
...

Man on a mission, aiming to guide,
Out to motivate all, no silly pride.

Encourager and scout of great talent,
...

When I was young, Winter was an inspiration,
It fashioned my dreams, affected my inclination,
Had me yearning for a character, pure as snow,
Spring and its green, diminished Winter's glow,
...

I do promise to abandon selfish individuality,
To work for us determinedly for an eternity.
...

Don't contaminate the heart as its reality is charity
Always seek to avoid envy, avarice and cruelty.

Money, food and clothes to poor ispure charity,
...

Handful of dry sand so cool with such tiny grain
Shining and sparkling as through my fingers drain.

The soft breeze blows it up steep slopes with ease
...

Change is fate of both dynamic and static,
In response to environs or to face the tragic.

They say change is a variable law of nature,
...

Unified Approach

Had she been there through all the stresses of life,
Her presence would have eased much strife.
...

Here is a garden in a lush land,
Nestled in a green mountain gap,
Picturesquely beautiful and sweet,
A natural resort of health and calm,
...

To dream is normal, not a sin,
It's how we get prepared to win.

To live sans dreams, is hopeless,
...

No one is immune to grief in nature,
Some may boldly tackle while others freak.
The pain of grief is awful mental anguish,
Let it subside so we can recover our faculties.
...

With so much unrest in the world and fighting among nations,
Our ardous task should be to control our vulgar passions.

Advertent and inadvertent misuse of theology is rampant,
...

Dreamscape

Whenever I close my eyes, images of you surface,
Each memory of cherished moments bring joy.
...

Butterfly

Oh butterfly! How delicate  your decency is,
Should I call you
...

Dream State

Why does my brain become befuddled,
With just a single thought of you.
...

Missing Persons
An Occupation brings many facets and shades,
Live ammunition commands much fear.
Vivid and visual, more than a half million soldiers,
...

Honest Love
When first I ventured into your flowery space,
My imagination ran wild as I gazed in your face.
I pledged my heart as your presence baptized me,
...

Oh sister! You are the best friend I ever had
Always a helping hand through good and bad.
...

Facing Truth

I find myself once more on the precipice,
That edge of disappointment and despair.
...
