I can write poems with ease
can be about anything with haste
my mind is full with words and phrases
that I can express in  short or lengthy phase.

But only few or none even bother to read
my composition of  expression with poetic lead
does it mean that I don't possess the criteria as set
by critics to the category as a good or better poet?

Better poet , what does this mean?
does one has to follow the great men
or women in the past writing measured poetry
or free verse  of the present with style of flattery?

Ah, better poet is the one of taste
who can write not with ease or haste
but someone with an innate expression
who is inspired by sentiments of passion!

A body lies in total stillness
devoid of spirit , emptiness reigns
not an ember of thoughts remains
that could ignite a tingling message
to love ones who came to mourn.

Tear of loss dominates the moment
flashes of the past tickle the minds
of those who had spent him company
to the dead whose existence is now lost
but whose good memories will be kept.

Grief dominates the hearts
for those who miss the decease
who once shared joy and inspiration
may not a perfect being but a friend
who can be present to bring consolation.

To mourn for a dead friend
is a moment to say thank you
for the past that you were with him
for sharing life's ventures bad and good
true friends will come to mourn for your too.

I sense you so close
If your eyes open
Mine will able to see
I am faithful as if
Your caress is the password
To the wall I've sealed
I adore you as solemn sky
Turns the sea crest
Into gold when the sun sets
And I love you
As you will be, as you are,
As it is, and as long
As always

Life could have been easy
If you would have said
You need me...

Life could have been fun
If you would have said
Other than me you need none...

Life could have been better
If you would have said
Let's make for us a shelter...

Life could have been lively
If you would have said
I'm with you my baby...

Life is now an enigma
Without you being here
Whether to live or die is dilemma...

A poet who is truly respected
may not be the most brilliant cited
nor number one in the recent survey
yet someone whose mind best convey.

A poet who  is a creative critic
may not be someone who is prolific
neither gives comment that is stupor
yet the  one who inspires as a mentor.

A poet who has a heart
may not be the most beloved
or the most decorated with accolade
yet the one who touches others life.

Yes a poet who expresses passion
may not be the most romantic
or the most adorable writer
yet gain respect... a poet!

I might breathe,
     just as you do,
But, do my breaths,
          take your breath away?
