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;
...
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.
...
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:

Cyprian, in my dream
the folds of a purple
kerchief shadowed
your cheeks --- the one
Timas one time sent,
a timid gift, all
the way from Phocaea
Sappho

We are things of dry hours and the involuntary plan,
Grayed in, and gray. "Dream" mate, a giddy sound, not strong
Like "rent", "feeding a wife", "satisfying a man".
But could a dream sent up through onion fumes
Its white and violet, fight with fried potatoes
And yesterday's garbage ripening in the hall,
Flutter, or sing an aria down these rooms,
Even if we were willing to let it in,
...
I was travelling
Here and there
In the strange land
With my new companion,
We saw
Absolute silence reigned everywhere,
After some time the companion left me,
Then I began to roam alone
In the mysterious land,
Every object of nature seemed
...
By a mad miracle, the power
Of the pen
Turned the tide,
The environmentalist won!
...
The Cross represents Christ's death before life;
He died for our sins to make everything right;
On the third day after His death He rose again and has eternal life;
Ahh, to live in a perfect world without sin would be so nice;

if time is to be tested
don't allow it to be rested
...
Unto guilt I will never be a slave
I am honest, caring and brave,
Unto sin and deception I will not ever crave
I will not ever take a lie to the grave.
...
Beauty is beauty
Nobody can reject it.
If you are happy
...
When some people are hatefully seeding
I am then happily weeding,
When me and my beliefs have been pissed
I am removing those stupid people from my friends list.

Service to all

Be duty-bound
feel mentally sound
...
The teachings of Jesus Christ always stands for Love;
As God gave a Dove to stand for His grace;
The teachings of Christ can be bent and misplaced;
Through it all the meaning stays the same;
...
Snow white silent night
Before Christmas comes
Softly upon the ground
...
I smoke and I drink because I am free
And so can my children to be like me,
I want them to follow in my every footstep
And in freedom they will never regret.
...
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
...
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 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:
...
No earthquake, no thunder, no volcanic eruption
Or even there was not any of other natural calamities,
A sudden loud sound broke out all through the bush
With whizzing, shuddering, cracking, tearing, echoing,
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Pounds of pain punctured my progress
Tons of trouble terminated my tranquility
Swarms of stress subtracted my substance
My heart exploded like a thousand thunders
...
As you see universally
There is a great fall
Let love stretch its hands being universal
To love and teach us to love all,
...
Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

TO AMARANTHA; THAT SHE WOULD DISHEVELL HER HAIRE.
I.
Amarantha sweet and faire,
...
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.
...
Long ago the Gladiators,
When the call to combat came,
Marching past the massed spectators,
Hailed the Emp'ror with acclaim!
