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;
...
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 free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

The days drag on, each moment multiplies
Within my wounded heart the pain and sadness
Of an unhappy love and, dark, gives rise.
To sleepless dreams, the haunting dreams of madness
But I do not complain - instead, I weep;
Tears bring me solace, comforted they leave me.
My spirit, captive held by grief, a deep.
And bitter rapture finds in them, believe me.
Pass, life! Come, empty phantom, onward fly.
And in the silent void of darkness vanish.
Dear it to me my love's unending anguish;
If as I die I love, pray let me die.

'Come, try your skill, kind gentlemen,
A penny for three tries!'
Some threw and lost, some threw and won
A ten-a-penny prize.
She was a tawny gypsy girl,
A girl of twenty years,
I liked her for the lumps of gold
That jingled from her ears;
...
As twilight whispers secrets to the night,
You turn to me, seeking what feels right.
'Which life holds weight—yours or mine? '
'I choose my own, ' I answer, intertwined.
Yet in that truth, our souls embrace,
Your essence lingers, a lasting trace.
So if you wander, leaving doubt behind,
Remember, it's love that forever binds.
...
Allow me to express my heartfelt at time noticed, my heart aches for you, as I look into my mirror you reflect habitually, my affection for you is on another level as I deeply want to affiliate with you in a decent manner!
I'd love to sleep in a dream that is filled with you, If I wasn't matured, I wouldn't know how to act, even though I try to control my feelings but the craziest in me always get revealed, my love for you can't wait no more!
...
The virus sneaked into other countries like a crook from Asia, but in our country, we were aware of it, our President welcomed it, at the airports holding borders written its name, not knowing how deadly it was.
Extra measures were introduced to the citizens, but the troops were deployed for a helping hand, some were handful, but other hands were brutal, like fruits on trees, some get eaten and others rot while still in the tree.
...
Imagine going to the voting station just to put a certain party in parliament but at the end of the day, you have no say when they rule, how could one placing you in power can later be the latter.
In a country that has all kind of resources, but we pay for almost everything, while only certain people benefit from the country's wealth and citizens sleep in debts.
...
Bullets, pistol, rope and pills its poetry on its own, I better embrace early death, suicidal situation, I'm seeking psychologists, I ask myself will I feel my last breath, life is the only thing to lose.
...
Whether I wind up in a mansion or on a piece of toilet paper, as long I have someone who loves me dearly, even though I'm caught up in a world full of formulated diseases, I wanna live in a fantasy of my own.
Not everyone will rejoice how righteous you are, some people find comfort in unnecessary competition, now and then everyone tries to sugarcoat their past, while the evil deed strike back.
...
No one should, tell you don't cry
Let it all out
Embrace your pain
Why hide what strengthen you
...
Another day of youth continuation wastefully ending their lives in an unpleasant manner, not to speak of wasted resources or a lot of money in exchange of substances.
It's a continuation of hatred and violence among one another, and without eyes movement, it's a continuous of the less fortunate drowning from debt nor slavery.
...
Whatever my mind unleashed to the heart, love took over. Genuine love has its way of changing point of view, which is similar to books, without requiring experience but mutual affection, we grow somehow individually.
It ain't hard to find, being willing to learn, share and respect can bring forth someone who's willing as you, nothing came perfect, but growth of foundation determine the future, as I became a figure in my love life.
...
Tears rolled down as I held the first born who was supposed to be mine, I thought it was a blessing since the thunder stroked left and right, but it appears the Lord was warning me, and I was tryna do right.
After spending for years and being a father, the kid suffered a rare disease and I should donate my blood, funny how it didn't match while the doctor demanded the real father of the child.

If you could be loved completely by only one person for a lifetime or remembered by all humanity for all time which would you choose?
If you had the power to save only one person who would you save?
And if you could only save them by sacrificing everyone else would you?
Looking at the people you love, would you really want to know all their deepest secrets?
...
It's a windy day through the valley,
The rain falls from the sky.
I sit here with my memories,
watching the world go by.
...
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)

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 -

When Gentlemen can see—
