POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
TYSON
I was yet to witness
a warrior in the ring.
I had never seen
a man so vicious,
till I heard the name Tyson
He had a strong jab,
quick and straight
Always.
His lead was lethal
and his guard steady
Just like a soldier.
I also studied his cross
...unbelievable..
boy, the man could fight!
His punches were fast,
powerful and straight,
thrown with true force.
Though he rarely used the hook,
I liked his fight all-the-same.
One semi‐circular punch
on the opponent's head, ...
a warrior in the ring.

FOREWORD
What does poetry mean to you??
For me, poetry is the string of words that run through my veins and flow out my system.....its the epitome of my creativity and mirror of my thoughts....'
so, to me
poetry is simply creativity captured in words,
poetry is what is written, still being wrote, and yet to come...
poetry is the elapsing of thoughts' gestation,
the crystallizing of minds and senses...
poetry is the freedom of thoughts, the infidelity of words,
poetry is everything about...

SHINING WARRIOR
This path I take,
this elaborate path I embrace,
a path sandwiched
with shining jewels and gems.
Should I stop and admire?..
Maybe I should try my luck
picking a souvenir?
That would be brilliant.
However,
I choose to walk straight ahead,
They'll call me lame,
Of course.
I'll just nod and proceed,
As always..
I have to agree,
I'm sure old fashioned!

POETRY
Ain't poetry beautiful?
This thing called poetry...
Too good!
Poetry is the smile in the eyes,
the tears of heart,
the screams in a mind.
... it's all poetry,
and it's beautiful.
Poetry is the clique of fingers
the whistling of lips,
Poetry is musical...
It's the happiness within,
...the 'hahaha'.

SHIFTY
Shifty says,
"There were days I'd relent..
well, not today"
Indeed,
There were moments I'd say NO
I know,
but not today.
I'm not predictable?
Yet...
My YES means YES,
NO simply means NO!
Do you fathom?
Show me what you meant?
Talk is cheap.
Be stable
Don't mince your words,
That was the norm...
unfortunately,
but not today.
You said us was good,
I said us was bad.
We differed alright
So,
We waited...and waited...
*Tick!* and *Tock!*
...just...
"There were days I'd relent..
well, not today"

WICKED
For lovers,
there are some things
that are wicked
and these ...
Should never be ignored.
First,
A liar will always lie,
No matter how much you forgive.
Rule number one,
Never trust a liar
For lies are not for lovers.
Secondly,
a promiscuous woman
avoid by all means.
Run away
and never look back.
Guard your heart,
by all means.
Lest you die of a heartbreak.
Thirdly,
to you and yours
a selfish woman is a curse.
So a test you'll have to perform,

PASSION
I was once a virgin,
it's hard to imagine
but if wishes were horses,
I would've had it otherwise
for those were the days.
There used to be a time.
when No meant No...
and Yes meant Yes.
those were the beautiful days,
when ladies had morals
and gentlemen character.
In those days,
passion made sense.
Passion is beautiful,
connection is the essence.
Any woman should value passion.
for passion...
passion is everything.
I cherish deep kisses,
moments when you just let go.
Spend...

CHAOS
Whatever happened to this world?
We're a wicked generation,
full of lies and deceit.
Girls just want fun..
to drink, get high and shag.
Boys are lax,
they just want drugs
and to entertain wicked fantacies.
We don't care anymore.
Sex became the new loving,
and money an aphrodisiac.
In days of old things were proper.
Love was an experience,
not story.
We miss the point,
altogether.
Yet we raise families,
expecting a better future?
Something is terribly wrong,
along the way we lost...

PLEA(S)
Take me away
to where I belong,
a place far and yonder.
Where rivers meet
and mountains merge,
there, I want to be.
Take me away
let me sing with the birds
whisper with the wind even.
I want to disappear,
like sadness when simcha comes
or like darkness at dawn.
Life is beautiful,
and death mandatory.
to Him be the Glory.
