There was an old man
who had a plan
to climb and be near a bird
a top he went
to sing in delight
and in death flew he out of sight
limerick inspired by MruaniniDNimbalkar
First time writing a limerick

Her eyes were fiery
While her lips peeled away
Her sun was setting
But her colors never fade
When she bites she is bitter
But when she smiles she is sweet
Like a nectarine emblem
She’s the fruit of life’s tree.

With the footsteps of determination and friendship,
together we will carve beauty's eternal pathway.

The values of our relationships
and the commitment to our virtues
inspire and open our eyes.

Writing on paper is easy - fast and visible.
But paper tears, paper is thrown away.

Writing on the soil is easy - fast and visible.
But it can be erased, by a simple flick of the wrist.

Writing on water is hard, invisible and impossible.
Or so it seems.
To write on water, you must submerge something into it. A couple pebbles or sticks will be fit.

Live your life to the depths, never let it to brought down to be torn or erased. Submerge yourself in it, and it will always bring you to the top,

Here I am
Did you miss me?
You can’t get rid
Of what we all need
I am your hollow
Beneath your shallow
Nonexistent invisibly

I am with you
Behind the curtains
Within the wood
The fire set free

I am your sorrow
Awaiting tomorrow
I am the love
The heaven you seek

I am indeed
Your
Poet Freak!
Traveler Tim
Back to the
subtle pool
of dark and deep
that lay below illumination.

Wriggling, slippery
scales of black
in a pool
so hard to see,
so hard to grasp.

Down the hall
in the realm of control,
pulling into light a dark shadow.

Maybe two, but one.

Pull it close
to touch it in mind,
to know it and own it
and let it go.

So deep and dark
and subtle and fooling,
this pool of mind.
