The poet's eye
Is the only exact image of the world.
If you know how to read it
You will never die
He can see the unseen
And make your Dao so clean.
A poet's heart is so deep
They call for hatred
He never faltered
Calling for love
They call for war
He insists on loving more and more.
The poet's tongue is the truth
That helps you soothe
Wake up and say
My poets shine my day.
I was asked by a friend of mine to explain the term Dao. Well, the Dao or Tao as first used by the world sagacious man named Lao Tsu means the path or the road. I love his book "Tao te ching."

The skies are
fading
and the leaves are
withering
underneath
my skin.
I've got the
Autumn blues
again.

Dear diary;
my back aches
from carrying all of
these memories-
my soul aches from
bearing all these regrets
from a distant life
I'd rather forget.

If I'm a human, I can make mistakes,
Learning from them makes me what I am,
Since eons, experience has been the best teacher,
I don't regret my choices, even if it was a big, big mistake,
It did seem correct then,
Past can't be changed but the future, it's all mine,
My mistakes made me better,
Be grateful, be happy,
Cherish what you did,
Enjoy what you do,
Ultimately you'll be in love with what you have.

There are people  who call them selves friends.
Yet they never were around because they liked you as a person but because they needed you for their benefit.
Something I learned in the past 2 years about life
Roses are red
Violets  are blue
Just saying that
Your special to.
