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

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.

Body my house
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen
Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt
Where can I go
without my mount
all eager and quick
How will I know
in thicket ahead
is danger or treasure
when Body my good
bright dog is dead
How will it be
to lie in the sky
without roof or door
and wind for an eye
With cloud for shift
how will I hide?
...
Between going and staying
the day wavers,
in love with its own transparency.
The circular afternoon is now a bay
where the world in stillness rocks.
All is visible and all elusive,
all is near and can’t be touched.
Paper, book, pencil, glass,
...
Whispers of the Morning Sun
Golden rays upon my face,
A gentle touch, a warm embrace.
The morning hums a tender tune,
Softly kissed by fading moon.
The birds awaken, light and free,
Singing songs of harmony.
The flowers sway in whispered cheer,
Welcoming a day so clear.
...
The smell of lilacs, memories of the past
Roses aroma pungent wafts of adoration
Jasmine summer nights, passion so vast
Petunias, father's loving dedication
...
Ntsikiditle! Ntsikiditle!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha... Mokgotse wa ka, lentswe la khutšo!
Ge lefase le nkwela godimo, o a ntshwaraganya,
Bjalo ka rojana la bupi leselong, o ntšholla leuba ka lerato.

Ode to the Guardian of India's Soul
Asaduddin Owaisi — A Symbol of National Integration
By Prabir Kumar Gayen
...
Do you remember the hand?
That shook the cradle.
And drew the shape of Africa.
And that land of America,
...
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Father - father - father
Did you ever love me back?
...
Though parted by the endless tide
thoughts and longings of you reside.
In my mind and in my heart burns
the restless call to love and yearn.
...
It almost hurts loving you.
It's like gathering broken pieces in euphoria.
And feeling it cut
It's like running around a rose cottage.
...
Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ
There's nothing that
you would do
...
I wish I could cartwheel in front of your eyes.
And see your soul falling back in love.
Like, it was so much fun.
I wish I could 'stock car ride' and cash in on you.
...
Though shadows stretch and evil holds its sway,
And darkness claws at hope with chilling hand,
Though wicked winds may howl and tear away
The fragile peace that lingers in the land,
...
What are the benefits of being alone?
Watching the end of your favourite TV show
Knowing no interruptions are coming home
To roost. Knowing there's no death blow
...
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:

(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)
Noong taong otsenta dekada

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—
