My favorite: “Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!”

There's a flame

Jul 2015 Amitav Radiance

There's a flame

There’s a flame

Lit with in

A flame that burns for one purpose

There’s a life

Two souls meant to be one,

But Split in two

There’s so much pain

Heart ache, for the souls that are lost

A pain meant to keep the souls apart

There is an emotion

Love

an emotion that is meant to be pure, but instead is manipulative and deceiving

Only because many souls have given up on meeting

So they began hurting and mistreating

Those who are naïve

Until it becomes a cycle of misleading

But there are those who keep on fighting

For that one who is meant to complete them

The one is meant to love them like they need them to

And at first it might seem strange

Because we don’t understand how someone

Could know what truly love is

That love is supposed to

Burn like the flame

Hurt like the pain

That you’re supposed to feel that way

Because that’s what love is meant to do

This emotion connect so many things

Not just lovers, but also friends

if you opened you heart and not your mind

You’ll find that love is very simple it’s not a technical complication or logically correct

It’s supposed to come with scars and bumps

But only because you’ll never know what’s good until you’ve dealt with bad

Love is not just a breeze

it’s a hurricane of emotions

But after its all say and done

You’ll find yourself in a place you’ve never been . . . next to the one

Beautiful people and beautiful souls
living in a world
Full of hatred and evil
Evil people and evil souls
Hell bent on doing wrong
Full of wicked intent
They hurt others
To block the pain
Without a care in the world
Little boys and girls
Frolic and play all day
Dreaming of one day
Growing up and becoming adults
Little do they know
Being an adult isn't a luxury
They lie and cheat and steal
Only to become old, alone, and destitute
Longing for the thing they can't obtain
Intangible and unachieveable
In the eyes of many these
Are the walking dead
The soulless entities
That walk the earth feeding
On the sadness and pain of others
Broken and unfixable
My only wish
Is that I never
Become one of them.

Any title suggestions?

Enough is Enough

your behavior is ******, she writes to him,
you're a boar, without a cure,

my good ant Anna often asks me,
how the hail i except you,

she says you belong to that banned of men
that effect a woman's life badly

she also suspects you of elicit affairs
goes on to ad you are to me not fare
and we too don't make a good pare

its about time we go our own weigh
since we don't feet each other at all.

i'm sorry though
i had to pain you this heartful later

but bitter swoon than letter.

p.s. thank god i mate the man who scares and laughs me more than you.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

One day you're here,
the next day there,
No connection
between the two
but you.

Not like a boat
leaving the dock
and having the
shorelines fade
slowly away

Not like an airplane
above it all
when it all becomes so
small,
Until landing
brings it back up
to size,
Not like that at all.

Not like watching
them waving,
Fading away
as you drive down the street.

Yesterday at work,
In love,
Home with your parents,
Your spouse,
Your children

Today it's not present at all,
Whole ways of being,
Don't dissolve,
The program changes,
Lights on,
Lights off,
Maybe a flash
in-between,
But that's all,
can you tell me, my friend,
What does it really mean?

Yesterday, today, tomorrow,
I guess we are not all three,
The present is not a flow.

Just you and me now,
As we go.

All is
this composition book
in front of me,
With one more period
to go.

Dreams about You

Dreams about You

Many minds
Have lived
Through time,
And dreamt of
Other Worlds...
And that,
My Son,
Is how many galaxies
There are
In
the
Universe.

... Or so I would like to believe ;)

A Moment

A Moment

She cupped my cheek
with the warm fingers of
her right hand
as her palm rested
on the jaw of my desire.

My body warmed slow
down to the toes
wanting to step into
the mansion of her passion.

I love you,
the words dropped
from her lips
like silver beads of
rain on the pasture
of my heart.

physics

Each quark
A quirk
In a cosmologically-
Inspired orchestra

Each theory
A verse
In a star-
Driven poem

The study of
The very nature
Of this universe
Is art

Monsoon

Monsoon

And with the first showers
Comes the kind of sadness
Which only half loved lovers
Can feel.
