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.
...
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;
...
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
...
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.
...
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

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.

LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall ?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly !
What though Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away ?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O'er hope, a heavy sway ?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to bear us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
For gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair !

Pigeons on the grass alas.
Pigeons on the grass alas.
Short longer grass short longer longer shorter yellow grass. Pigeons
large pigeons on the shorter longer yellow grass alas pigeons on the
grass.
If they were not pigeons what were they.
If they were not pigeons on the grass alas what were they. He had
heard of a third and he asked about if it was a magpie in the sky.
If a magpie in the sky on the sky can not cry if the pigeon on the
grass alas can alas and to pass the pigeon on the grass alas and the

Why is it that silence,
though hollow,
feels so heavy!
Why is it that silence,
though wordless,
speaks so loudly!
Why is it that silence,
though empty,

I use to stroke and smell your hair while you were sleeping,
hoping I was in the dreams you were keeping,
I inhaled the air you were breathing,
Just because I love being with you girl.
...
'But why? '
Very simple question,
But the answer of it is very complex
In most of the occasions,
...
I don't like the crumbs,
But I eat them anyway.
I eat them like they're whole,
As they are the best part to me.
...
Engulfing mist;
Wishing to have the balance part
of the dream!
...
Wherever the road leads
I shall not follow now...
Waiting for fork in road
For better tomorrow
...
Forced to fell trees to furnish
the fold of palacial buildings?
Or to facilitate the formidable
...
O Willow, lovely Weeping Willow tree
Beneath thy boughs I'll sing my sad refrain
A song of how our love can never be
And how this yearning yet be all in vain
...
sunlight streams open
through windows, doors
& open hearts

Note: Horatio has been the best friend of Hamlet since childhood and is Hamlet's constant companion in Act V of William Shakespeare's play HAMLET, yet his loyalties are divided as he has been a member of King Claudius' court and has been much favored by Queen Gertrude, Hamlet's estranged mother. (Hamlet was at odds with both king and queen as Claudius, his uncle, had secretly murdered Old Hamlet, Hamlet's father, then married his mother to become king.) Horatio is with Hamlet at the moment of Hamlet's death as a result of the wounding Hamlet suffers at the hands of Laertes, from his poison-tipped sword. Now, one year has passed since the deaths of Hamlet, Ophelia, Polonius, her father, Laertes, her brother, Claudius and Gertrude, and Fortinbras of Norway been elected king of Denmark, and Horatio reflects on the present state of Denmark.

China & Russia have submarines
That can launch massive missiles in the sky.
Might they not do the same with drones
To intimidate, destroy or spy?

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.

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
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves

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:

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—
