Silence of a greater love
bestow upon us
a peaceful dove

Whence in starry silent
nights above,
shine your crown
of jewelry love

Kiss my lips
without a word
Feel my hands in gentle stroke,
without a word even spoke

Be my mate forever be
like a calm rocking of the sea
Speak with smiles and tenderness
and lay us down in calming bliss

Watch we the silent sun come-up
without a word we reverie
In silence, hand-in-hand, we be
like the calm rocking of the sea

Oooh my, can't stand this any more sooo...

...Felt a strange urge
in my legs
jumped into my car
wanted F R E E D O M,
craved   F R E E D O M,
freedom away from
this imprisoning sign-city

Felt the true call of nature
Felt my natural urge to e x p a n d
needed my
ROAMING grounds
once more

Fled for o p e n country s p a c e s
where FREEDOM reigns
like, like refreshing droplets of spring water

BOLTED out of my car
where mother earth
cushioned my feet,
caressed me,
hugged me,
And go so far as to say,
even crawled into my jeans
and heard harmonious
chirping birds

Felt this strange twinge
in my calves
Ran like a deer
Ran into e x p a n d I n g  o p e n  s p a c e s
                                  flight
Felt my legs take
practically off ground

Felt twigs, grass and weeds
gently stroke my ankles and calves
Felt country refreshing cool air
breeze my whole body;
and whizz
up my nostrils
BUT SUDDENLY!!
I trip over something,
it's a rusty large sign reading,
"KEEP OUT INTRUDERS WILL BE PROSECUTED
PRIVATE PROPERTY"

Cow dung waste:
churning together
grass with water
later passed through and left behind,
grow more grass!

Politicians words:
churning together
holy-hallow words,
grow more votes!

Poets words:
churning
on paper,
unread cautious wisdom words
grow more silver fish!
Your actions are
Like a boomerang
What you do
Comes back-
Good or Bad
Don’t act on
What you have heard
Until you have listened
Carefully
What you are thinking of
Is much less than
What you did not think about

I’m not ugly,
I’m unique.
Same way as you are.

a quote
true beauty of just being you.
to everyone who thinks they're ugly, like me, a reminder to self.
One day you'll grow up
And your eyes will stop reflecting galaxies
And start reflecting the weather.
I have always wondered
- it's been a mystery to me from early -
about all these awesome bright people
but who then turn out not so smart

Well, I thought Science might shed some light
on my dilemma
and after six months' intensive study
I see what it is all about:
*light travels faster than sound
and that is why all these people
who look so bright
don't turn out  so smart
when the words they utter are heard
