Poems
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed- and gazed- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
The massive mountain makes its move
Beckoning me to ascend
A much more difficult path
To get up the slippery bend
...
She lies
Upon her bed so very still
unable to summon the will
to get up and face the day
as time slowly slips away.
She shies
From inevitability
not accepting the reality.
For Death was approaching fast!

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;

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:

on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends

Loving people are rare to see in the fast modern world that boasts of
Civilization based on the developments made by technology sans seeing
Pollution, climate change and natural disasters making many suffer alone
New disease making many die due to lack of correct medicine to administer!

Broken air condition, I fixed the light,
That was on my hat, redirect the current
I Light the world, that's major difference
Even when the sin

A prophet should
listen to God
honestly and sincerely
to proclaim about him.

Prophets are people
who act and speak
in relation to the future.
...
Every light I had found, you turned off. And I got lost. Surrounded in darkness, no lights in sight. And I lost hope. A tortured soul. Swimming in black seas, drowning in darkness.
...
First of all, I apologize for the harshness of my words.
This is my subjective opinion and may be an indefensible:
Poems devoid of rhyme is like sentences without dots -
Neither poetry nor prose, - something incomprehensible.
...
Love never gets cold in the winter time,
Nor does it get red-hot during summer;
It never commits any kind of crime,
And it truly hates the word called anger.
...
All the white flowers that you gave
Have turned brown
As the petals drop on the table
I cannot save them
...
You blossomed in my dream walked in my poem
You spoke in silence and followed my heart
In my evening thought you did come everyday
Thinking of your smile is new dawn to me
...
My crush
Is it true that Suba is a far land with beautiful maidens?
Are my eyes deceiving me?
If am dreaming then don't wake me up

Heart;
Everywhen I liberalized mine
You fortified yours.
How inflexible were those
...
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.
...
Sweet moment, stay with me,
and pray do not flee so soon,
Let me enjoy the bliss of that
first kiss beneath the moon.

As you see universally
There is a great fall
Let love stretch its hands being universal
To love and teach us to love all,

Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen

Employ'd to serve her deity:

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.

When the call to combat came,
Marching past the massed spectators,
Hailed the Emp'ror with acclaim!
