I looked at you
You looked at me
I reached for you
You cradled me
I opened my heart
You mended it
I acknowledged you
You swept me away
I lived for you
You went away
My life for you, I go to Heaven
My heart to yours, I go to Heaven
I seek your love, My heart goes to Heaven
I go to Heaven
I’ll see you in Heaven
Written by: Timothy Charles Carter of Las Vegas, Nevada
yes you're my crush
yes you make me blush
i love your smile
i think about it for a while
i want to hear your laughter
please don't let this end in a disaster
wrap your arms around me
let the love run free
i'm falling head over heels
you got me weak in the knees
you're so weird and quirky
and I feel unworthy
sometimes i feel invisible
either like everyone looks through me
like i'm not there
or like they see my appearance
and don't look further

i am a person too
my identity matters
see me for me
see me in the room

i feel like an outcast
a social pariah
like i'm a wallflower
Beliefs
Effect areas
Of our intelligence  
That sould otherwise
Contemplate logically

Waiting for
Miracles
Impossibly real
Stuck in caves
Where kindness
And fear
Come together
And ****

More than an image
The sky outside
Turn around
And run for the real life!

Greek in origin (:
बूढ़ा हो चुका हूँ ।
अभी भी
मन के भीतर
गंगा जमुनी तहज़ीब का
जुनून बरकरार है ।
भीतर की मानसिकता
घुटने टेकने
क्षमा मांगने वाली रही है ,
फलत:अब तक
मार खाता रहा हूँ ।

अभी अभी
पहलगाम का
दुखांत सामने आया है ,
जिसने मुझे
मेरे अंत का मंज़र
दिखाया है।
अगर अब भी इस
गंगा जमुनी तहज़ीब के
जाल में फंसा रहा
तो यकीनन बहेलिए के
जाल में ,
उस द्वारा फेंके गए
दानों के लोभ में
ख़ुद को फंसा हुआ पाऊंगा,
कभी छूट भी नहीं पाऊंगा।
बस उस के जाल में
फड़फड़ाता रह जाऊंगा।
शाम तक
रात के भोजन का
निवाला बनने के निमित्त
हांडी पर पकाया जाऊंगा।
यह ख्याल
अभी अभी
जेहन में आया है।
मुझे शत्रु बोध की
अनुभूति होनी चाहिए।
मुझे मिथ्या सहानुभूति
कतई नहीं चाहिए।
कब तक अबोध बना रहूंगा ?
बूढ़ा होने के बावजूद
बच्चों सा तिलिस्मी माया जाल में
फंसा हुआ तिलमिलाता रहूंगा।
कब मेरे भीतर शत्रु बोध पैदा होगा ?
.... और ‌मैं अस्तित्व रक्षा में सफल रहूंगा।
आप भी अपने भीतर शत्रु बोध  को जागृत कीजिए।
अपने प्रयासों से जिजीविषा को तीव्रता से अनुभूत कीजिए।
सुख समृद्धि और सम्पन्नता से नाता जोड़ लीजिए।

Happy families, smiling,
enjoying time together,
atmosphere filled with their laughter.

And then -

in a moment of madness,
all silenced.

Bullets took over,
dead bodies lying all around.

Terror strikes the land
we call "Paradise on Earth."
***** and broken
dreams fall like
slanted rain in
a hurricane.
Mud-faced youth
plummet to the
ground.

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read from my recently published books, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, and It's Just a Hop, Skip, and Jump to the Madhouse.  Both are available on Amazon.com

I would love to hear your comments on the YouTube channel.

Also, there is a Facebook page for HP poets.
the saddest part of dying
is what you forgot to do
the ideas born in lucid dreams
that vanished in the hue
the mountains never seen
the oceans never crossed
the poems written on scraps of paper
a lover's smile now lost
the tears you held inside
the chances never taken
the landscape of your life
an oasis now forsaken
Just like that, outta the blue
I realize that no matter what I do
There'll never ever be another you
And it hurts like hell...
Btw, how great is Chet Baker??
