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.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
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.
...
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.

SILENT and amazed, even when a little boy,
I remember I heard the preacher every Sunday put God in his
statements,
As contending against some being or influence.
...
not of silver nor of coral,
but of weatherbeaten laurel.
Here, he introduced a sea
uniform like tapestry;
here, a fig-tree; there, a face;
there, a dragon circling space --
designating here, a bower;
...
In the depths of despair, a battle they wage,
Against shadows that loom, a soul's inner cage.
They've faced the abyss, felt its chilling embrace,
But found strength within, to conquer this space.
With every dark thought, a valiant stand,
They rise from the ashes, with purpose at hand.
They've learned to embrace, the light in their eyes,
And conquer the demons, that threaten to rise.

Framing norm like silk's worm
Is the passion of every which way stance
Charioted they thy normal aficionado
Like a crumb or morsel put in plate

He is touchy
She is touchy
It seems as if the whole world
Is touchy

I am time who knows
Who knows but
I am what I am
The shadows are thin

What is it to be a woman
Flashy light is to be a woman
Dandy gloss is to be a woman
Night and day is to be woman

Bell is a fictional character in beauty and the beast,
Not all people like to read,
I could be bell's twin,
I could stay in my room alone with my books,
...
Simplified rather oversimplified version of love is only applicable now a days particularly in my case..
The zombies doin differently but for that capitalism takes place..
...
I didn't get a wink of sleep last night,
but the night was filled with dreams
of such earnest delight.
Dreams of you and I just spending time,
...
You hang above the world,
a pale witness to centuries.
Mountains have crumbled,
oceans have risen,
...
Die lug lê swaar,
soos water wat nie beweeg nie.
Bome staan stil,
takke, vingers wat niks aanraak.
...
Wrinkles all removed
From the untidy blanket
How warm it is!
...
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—
