When your respect is at risk,
You must take risk by not attending
Those who enjoy intimacy with you, but not each time, only to get to the bottom!

Confide all you want
But listening ears bleed too
If only you’d see

as you look this way
for I don't have a pen or paper
to write you down before you fade.

Clasping the clapping
is not easy.
It echoes
and mingles with the air.
But without holding,
things aren't ours.
They are on Everest.
Fingers are benefactors.
We're not deprived of
what we like to have.
God's greatest blessing,
greatest gift.
They're brushes
to paint perfect paintings.
They're emotions.
They're hooligans.
They're flowers and thorns.
They're poet's keyboard.

I love you not because you are good,
But because I'm good enough to love you......

I despise myself for not being someone you could love.

Welcome thee! O young April:
Suddenly sour, swiftly sweet!
What you fetch is a furious wind!
What you leave is a cool breeze!
Hang on my friend life needs both
That you carry along with you ever!

You've enslaved my heart
before I could ever say
I'm willing.
a quote

I want to say my thanks to my long time friend beth by saying this: your writing searches for truth from our deepest wells of feeling.

Smoke solidifies in streets.
Fire widens like the evening.
Syrians are in furnace fuelling.
I'm tired of such scenes oft.
UNO is a hollow container.
Nations are tottering throng.
Humanity is an autumn tree.
We're figures on the canvas.

All aged efforts,
Going down the drain,
Dare with Intrepidity
To kidnap happiness.
Address isn't a spider
In the corner
Or somewhere else
Behind the door.
It's the wind,
Walking and wandering.
Whet thy kindness
To blandish,
And truss of thy neighbour,
Of a beggar, of a bride
Or of a playing child
With thy hope,
If you could see it
With any of them.
Remember,
It flies like the ghost.

Snowflakes
on the bed.
Moonlight
on the couch.
Blossoms
in the lap.
Sweetsop
in arms.
Love song
on lips.

Delay if fear roams free.
Chain it. Go uninterrupted.
