I have been to verdant hills
watch moonrise on sea at gloam
nothing compares to what it feels
when I am back to my home.

Have trekked faraway mountain pass
caravaned on rolling desert
gone to icy heights where grows no grass
coming home I found my heart.

When travel bug bites my feet
eyes beg for the unseen shore
I wander far but soon retreat
beckons me sweet home's door.

I roam the unknown in wanderlust
weary of the cramped furlong
but end of day in twilight dust
feel the home is where I belong.
The morning sun rays bathing the soul
Waking it up from the dreaming consciousness
Eyes soaking in the awakened beauty
Taking off the cover of night, to reveal a new day
Sun rays swathing over the valley
A watercolor painting over the Earth’s canvas
Vivid colors are splashed to create a spectacle to behold
A wave of warm embrace caresses us
As we get ready to rise up to the occasion
To usher a new day and new dreams in our heart

She stood there alone
silent, still
with a curve on her lips
ready to ****
with a tilt on her hips
she smiled
shy, reserved
as she turned to look away
as abruptly as champagne was served
the crowd filled in
she didn't wait nor stay
She went away
as swiftly...
she 's like the wind...

When I look at you,
Temple bells ring all around
You glisten like gold
With your deep deep eyes,
This heart of mine you hold.
With your sacred lips,
This soul of mine you kiss.
You are the undying God
Standing tall into the proud skies
Smiling down at this blind devotee.
I never knew the meaning of devotion
But when I lose myself in your eyes
My heart joins my hands together to pray.
You are a celestial sight
You are shining upon me so bright
My Lord, I shall be your faithful disciple
Every blessed second of my life.
the neighborhood cats
are partaking of kitty fun
they're getting it on
due to my dictionary
wandering about
there will be no words
for me to spout

the dash thing
took a hike out of here
where it ventured to
isn't too clear

should I not locate it
within the week
the outlook for writing
shall be very bleak

I cannot understand
why it left me
there was no logical reason
for it to get up and flee

should anyone
see a Collins dictionary
wandering in a field
near your locality

let it know
that its owner wants it back
all will be forgiven
if it gets on the track

twill be full steam ahead
at this place
when my word reference
shows its face
There is little calm in the American heartland
For there is a man who doesn't understand
The people want him to be impeached
For all the clauses of the constitution he's breached

He holds the highest office in the land but not for long
From Capital Hill he'll be hunted by the throng
The people are unsettled with the laws he's instigated
Not one of them has truly satiated

There will be civil disobedience in cities and towns
The people won't wear anymore of what he's let go down
A movement is brewing throughout the USA
To divest the country of his overly liberal ways

Democracy isn't well served by the current President
The people's voices speak with malcontent
The stars and stripes of American patriots cry out
For Obama to resign so they'll be free of his tout
Overrated is the word that comes to the fore
To tell of that woman's particular store
The products she vends aren't all that fab
Most of them have a dull look which is so drab

She may need to take stock of her inventory
Then thoroughly evaluate its retail credibility
The purchasers are wising up to her trade
They've become disenchanted with her escapade

To-day her shop soiled item went on sale
Few customers bought what was in her bail
Her sales pitch fell upon deaf ears
All that she offered for sale meet with load jeers

Store owners such as her have no excuse
For attempting to sell the dregs and refuse
The customer never outlays a dollar for trash
They prefer value for their hard one cash

The numbers of keen buyers aren't of a glut
Soon her second rate business shall be shut
Retail vending must be up to customer satisfaction
If not store owners can be put out of action
