Riparian Delight
Riparian Delight
Some natural gifts in my inborn flair
'bout mundane life, not the more i care
Societal games, or even agora sites
Loveless feel for the bright city lights
Praising a stroll somewhere in the field
In the mead, not before a screen shield
Where bleat and moo make the book i read
Where shepherd and mountain take the lead
My feelings flame at morning dripping dew
At chirping bird with dawn wakes up, anew
And riparian walk by a trickling stream
Time is water running like poetic theme ...

A Word For Us
Of all the words i will mention
Simplicity is the best re-action
with spontaneity and much flair
without any affected persuasion
Reacting with a just fairness
Opens doors wide to friendliness
With a tactful speaking manner
And a smile to crown your kindness
People don't need your diplomacy
Even when gifted with civility
As much as they need politeness
Wrapped in a convincing ability
Address your words to all audience
In a friendly, yet in a warm ambiance
People will be all ears to you ...

Words Of My Own Quill
-If you stay at your desk waiting for the muse,
Erato might be in the woods with Pan playing the flute, having Romance.
-" Do not forget that the Evil that lives around you,
yours is a part of it.."
-" If you think that your secrets are hidden from others,
you should know that you spill them,
through your words, unawares "
-" We all are X's and Y's, like Adam and Eve
if a factor is missing, the bio equation won't outlive
-If you want good, you must look for it;
if...

Yours Spontaneously
songs of hope, songs of happiness
come into bloom
stay not in the gloom
cry not on your doom
find joy in a script
your sorrows decrypt
your own self uplift
change a bad way
a style of some say
just like a word play
you do not have woes
no depression nor sorrows
if you look up to bright morrows
you do not feel morose
depression sayings you borrow
suicidal thoughts you vainly follow
you are sane, an extrovert ...

Paper Boat Over A Sea Of Ink
Paper Boat And Sea Of Ink
As a child, roaming the wild
Chasing the bird, on ev'ry ride
As a child, a sling by my side
On donkeys' bare back,
On every blazing eventide
And while on Summers' hot darker nights
Under its black wing, or in the moonlight
While There was ever a creepy crawl
hours past midnight, then we'd stroll
Into barley fields, we were marauders
Sneakers at high noon, adventurers
No risk of being caught, daredevils ...

A Voice Like Volcano
A Voice Like Volcano
There once was a woman from Khartoum
Who wanted to sing like Oum Kaltoum
She first tried soprano
It was like volcano
That Oum Kaltoum woke up from her tomb

The Shepherd's Hour
The Shepherd's Hour
The moon is red on misty horizon
Within a dancing fog, and the plains
In vapor dozing, the frog complains
Among the reeds, where chill has arisen
***
Water flowers have closed their petals
In distance far, poplars show profile
Straight and tight their ghosts unseen awhile
And between the bush, glowworms shuttle
**
The owls now awake, noiseless take flight
Rowing the black air with heavy wings
The zenith full, a fainting glow blinks
White, Venus emerges, it is Night *

The morning glow
The morning glow
and so the dark gently retreats
as the sun sends morning caress
the night gathers its folds
chasing away the nighted stress
thank god still am i breathing
watching this sunlight beaming
hear the birds outside chirping
and the innocent kids, are playing
the night that passed like a tomb
cold like a stone, i did not atone
despite what i might lately have done
a torment, through which i have gone
but, my sun is still the shine
that brightens my sadder time
that...

From Nature Into The Book
If you can't change your own habits, how can you change peoples'.
if you want to know how people feel, try hard to stay in their places and situation, then if you can, try to feel.
i can give you solution to your questions, which will fade away as soon as you walk away; " Go look for the answer ".....
Poetry is " lyrics " of the music of your feelings,so, know how to play your heart strings, they might sound dissonant if you fake them..
To be insolent is to give negative answers to positive questions and statements ...

The Green Forest By The Ancient Dolmen
It's a windy morning, and i am on burning embers for a hike uphill; a pine perfume wafting with the breeze, An October wind has left a motion over the rocky hills,trees in waltzing enchantment under the magic spell of Pan's Flute,a few locusts,is what remained from a long Summer,
skipping among the stems, and the weeds, with a joy that harbingers a very cold winter.Carpe Diem in Nature s' spirit
The pine forest ends where an open wide space is strewn with Dolmen,the past megalithic stones that exhale a prehistoric breath over the rocky hill; ...

Behind the clouds
Behind the clouds
April showers bring May flowers
Looking forward to brighter hours
*****
Morning rise, i woke up on sparrow's chirp
The gloomy sky, and the winds howling
But the cheerful peeping of the nimble bird
Has chased away the future fears
That i know despite April showers
Flowers will surely come after tears
And today's doubtful hours
Spring joys shall be growing near
I always have faith in Nature
As she knows no betrayal, nor cheats
If she cries today for your pains
Tomorrow,...

The Last Days Of Summer
The sky is blue, blue indigo,largely swept with a cotton brush of cloud,
as the wind gently comes into the scene, has given the canvas a spiritual feel,
Heaven is present, past and future,
This very time is reminiscent of some old Autumn, with a sun like lemon,
that pours down, tasting of sour venom, and leaves a scar deep into the bone,
This is Autumn, " that Fall" to its deepest bottom, and fathoms the soul of that man, that child now adult, in the clasp of his boyhood memories.
The time is quite about a mile from the town, Here...
