Another Cup
coffee is a poet’s tool
especially served black
in a simple cup
unadorned
without sugar
without milk
not compromised
by love
the poets challenge
My thoughts are wandering
all the words, I’m pondering.
the prompts, some challenging
the poetess is learning
New forms, and definitions
Here’s to posting, quick decisions
The sounds of music, echoing
while the pen is beckoning.
The marathon, my wrecking ball.
destroying my
cement communication wall.
The words, the truth
the stories, and the journaling proof
The volumes of
Emotions, and Memories
Demanding to be free
lying in the dark
Will it be the death of me?
Feeling the pull, guided by more
Sharing, my vulnerability
Learning the technology
Dedicating the time, to love my rhyme
Braving, the cold-hearted world.
Bringing comfort to someone
in time
Can I be that creative light?
The end to another’s plight
It’s healing love shared.
Words that heal and rhyme
it’s the poets time to shine
loneliness impart
Hate To Love
HATE:
Dear Love,
So beautiful, Innocent and pure
Every disease you can cure
Yet been not liked by many
You have less friends and more enemy.
LOVE:
Hello Hate!
I love the way you say
But, you are strong, witty and bad
You have make people sad
Yet you reside in many life
And I cannot understand this strange plight
HATE:
O stupid feeling!
You can never understand this strange dwelling
The world now have more space for me,
You cannot reside here after becoming so old and weak
Now, your kind gestures cannot be gained
So go away and come back never again
LOVE:
Dear hate,
I know the world is changed
But, people still cry for me in vain
The sound gets crushed under your loud noise
Which makes people cry,
hiding their plight.
I know your space is more than mine
But without me, this world cannot be fine
I want to overcome you by my name
In 21st century this is my only aim.
HATE:
Before you get completely crushed, go to heaven and enjoy your life
I own the earth so I shall make it mine
Even if you’ll try t make your space,
You’ll be crushed by haters with an easy ace
You shall no longer dwell on this unworthy earth
So, forget it as your place of birth
LOVE:
I am born here, And will die here
However I cannot die until you are there
Without you I cannot live here even,
Because we are like hell ad heaven
I know that world has become selfish,
But I will continue to cherish
And sooner or later I will get the fruit of my action
When every heart will blossom and peace will be showered
I am blessing of god and you curse of evil,
Living on earth you create only upheaval.
I know and I will win,
The light shall no longer remain dim
HATE:
I give up O! lovely Love
Arguing no more would be a sin
You are conqueror of death
The how can I even hope to win
Pray where I live you also get place
And with you, the world become Happy, united and Chaste!
#6
I miss you. I see you everywhere. In the trees,the birds my dinner. You are all around me, perhaps even in me. My life is without you now. Sometimes aware of my loss, mostly not. Small things bring you back again.
together with waves
side by side, we walk the path
apart at sunset
6/24 snake
I hear rain drops but they cannot guarantee I am awake.
I see the sun, but I feel so sure that I am slumbering.
I am four legged, I cannot slither passed this.
Only the wisest men told me that snakes can climb trees and then I knew I was doomed.
Hour Six: Sentry
Sentry
Late summer’s tree stands proudly sagged
with age-spotted greenery weeping in the
humidity. its trunk hosts industrious insects,
frantic with winter premonitions
Fierce late summer tempests taunt the tree,
daring it to shed its steamy, wilting coat
prematurely
If the late summer
tree survives, she will be stripped,
abandoned, sentry
Funeral
A friend died. Another’s friend died. It was the same funeral but not the same friend. There is no honesty in death, a revelation of nothing. He is survived by the used.
The man with the masks
Appears to each as himself
A simulacrum
Hour 5
Diamonds in the rough
Oh how they glow down below
Diamonds in rows

How Do I Say This
This feeling is new
Being with you
Never have I felt
Something so swell
You’ve swept me off my feet
Right onto my back
I can’t escape this heat
Can’t wait for our bodies to meet
Run your fingers through my hair
The sweat lingers in the air
I’m crazy about you
Baby, you’re all mine
Let me feel your skin
Your breath on my chin
Push into me
Let me see what you see
I’m never going back
You’re all I’ve ever yearned for
It’s more than just lust
It is in you I trust
The words can’t come out
No matter how I try to shout
I care for you
I admire you
I adore you
I love you
