Who knows how many chambers
   there are in the human heart ?
   each with its proclivities and nuances
   playing their individual part.

   Is there the congruence
   or the conflicting rub?
   The person has no say
   never has visited that mysterious hub-

   feelings and reason
  are poles apart
  how they struggle
  to be heard- how torn is the heart!

King of Limericks
There’s a mind that relentlessly rioted
And honestly couldn’t be quieted
Distraught by illusion  
It hungered for fusion
Like Plato’s original dyad did
Teachings of Buddha with a dash of neo-Platonism. Unifying the Self through the union of Eastern and Western philosophy.

Is it a mistake to confess what I feel,
When I already know the outcome is sealed?
All I long for is to hold you near,
Through the night’s embrace and dawn so clear.

Yet pain and sorrow, anger too,
Grip my heart when I think of you.
For in my dreams alone we stay,
Together, where love won’t fade away.
This poem was for my friend since he can't approach the girl that he likes

The ocean is vast
and
the shallows deep
bounded
by
predators
in the devil's keep

In Palestine where little
Children are sad every day
And there tears of there
Parents stain the land
Blood and tears and heartache
A d the screaming and crying echos
Around the world and the media
Tells lies about Palestine
And its history repeating
Its over and over again like world war two
Violence hate and ****** never ending

And the olive trees are set on fire
And the children can't even
Play it's just war today and
Their innocence at such a cost
Their futures in uncertainty unfurled

Palestinians crying at night and deep
In my heart I feel your pain and
For peace and justice near and far so
Lets end the darkness and hate and
Lord Jesus Christ I pray for the suffering

Though the pain runs deep and wide
In Palestine love and strength abide.
Peace And Love ❤️ 😍 💖

Mid-day heat beats down
Shingle-back lizard lazes
On old rotting log

Termite smorgasbord
Dinner in pink tongues reach
Warm sun lies above
