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.
...
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
...
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 -

Waking in the night;
the lamp is low,
the oil freezing.
It has rained enough
to turn the stubble on the field
black.
Winter rain
falls on the cow-shed;
a cock crows.
The leeks
newly washed white,-
how cold it is!
The sea darkens;
the voices of the wild ducks
are faintly white.
...
these hips are big hips.
they need space to
move around in.
they don't fit into little
petty places. these hips
are free hips.
they don't like to be held back.
these hips have never been enslaved,
they go where they want to go
they do what they want to do.
...
The trees have secrets
They cover it with leaves
They're spies and undercover thieves
But every year they lose their cover
Their shields fall to the floor
Their defences cracking, one after the other
Shedding their old skin, ready for more
The broken orange promises cry softly as they fall
Covering the floor in a temporary blanket
A break from the cold, a comforting shawl
...
Where the stream silently flows
Where the crickets play their constant music
Where, the magical fireflies, like fairy lamps, gather at night
Where skies are dark blue and stars are diamond-bright
...
Mysterious blossoms bloom like pearls in the ocean garden
Morning is a bliss, while night is a burden
Dreamers sometimes ignore time
But, on the hour, clocks chime
...
He leaves.
I stand behind.
A new BMW, it speeds up
the red light at the rear
...
When shadows dance and day is done,
And quiet whispers softly run,
A gentle space, a cozy bed,
To lift your heart, your weary head.
...
J - Just like the sun, I rise with purpose
O - On my path, dreams are an ocean
H - Hope speaks in my heart
N - Never ending strength lifts me like a mountain
...
Soft light fills the sky
Birds sing a gentle hello
New day starts with hope
...
A shiny toy, a brand new car,
You clutch it tight, near and far.
You fear a scratch, a little dent,
Protecting it, Your time is spent.
...
Tu n'aurais pas aimé avoir un frère, une sœur?
La question me surprend et me laisse songeur.
Je n'en sais rien, cela pourrait-il me manquer?
Regretter ce lien, même jamais rencontré?
...
That you grow I ensure
As you get older, I ensue
Experience is the teacher, I am the lesson
Drink of me and you are wise
...
Listen to your conscience, act with an open heart. Show kindness, be genuine with people. Show humility, respect for everyone who you meet, avoid evil and pray for guidance in your life. This is the way to the light, the path is open to us if we grow in peace through the love of our lord God in all we do. Thank him for all your blessings. Be good to the poorest individuals you meet. Be strong always in your faith, the doors will open for you and the rest will follow. Love is timeless and we are connected to the universe through God almighty.

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—
