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;
...
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:
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

Writing a poem is not about bringing some words together to create some charming sentences. It's so much deeper than that. 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.

When you are mixed with many I descry
A single light, and judge the rest thereby.
But when you are alone with me, why then,
I quite forget all women and all men.

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.
...
Stars blink in the dark
Moon hums a gentle secret
Dreams float quietly
...
শিব আমার মনের বন্ধু
শিব আমার প্রাণের বন্ধু।
শিব ছাড়া ভাবি না কিছু
সেই পরমেশ্বরের নাম জপি শুধু।
...
হে শিব, দিব্যলোক থেকে দেখছ আমায়
সেথায় থেকে আশীর্বাদ করছ আমায়।
আমি ধন্য তোমাকে ভালোবেসে
আমি ধন্য তোমার নাম জপে।

We are the verses cloaked in roadside dust,
left lying silent at the edge of dusk,
unraveled by the fleeting hands of time,
slowly fading within the interlude.
...
The tanker's gone, the waves roll high,
My little boat climbs to the sky.
Then down we slide, a gentle dip,
Before the next wave's watery whip.
...
My darling,
I say goodbye with a heavy heart
the darkness once again has fallen upon me
as I open my eyes I see only loss and despair
...
The sea is wide, so very wide,
And waits, it waits, with patient tide.
Like gentle giant, strong and deep,
...
The Rockstar and the Beautiful He Loved
Under neon skies and screaming crowds,
He lived where silence wasn't allowed.
...
You took me on the sky
Now I can see everything
under the sky.
...
Oh, beloved month, with your lanterns lighting up our nights,
You arrived with a wave of mercy, gentle and wide;
You lifted our tired spirits to new heights,
Where quiet prayers and hopeful dreams reside.
...
A man sits in cardboard with his worldly goods in a plastic bag. He has lost everything in his life, kindness is short and the odd penny drops into his cup. Many people don't even look at him as they scroll down on phones. Take the time to say hi and don't pass by, giving what you can.
...
As dawn comes the sunshine breaks, the birds sing and we in the presence of another day. Trees move in a light breeze and the grass has a morning dew. I watch the shadows of darkness disappear from my garden and I behold the light which touches my heart. Nature's way of telling us that we are not alone.

Have you hugged your teddy today?
And show him the love that comes his way
How much you need his comforting smile
Because he will be there all the while
...
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.
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
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
...
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—
