"infirmity" poems
Fabricated. Fictitious. A fake floating feeling Falls short Of my fleeting fantasy. This insidious infirmity Isn't what I intended. I've been inflicted With internal indisposition. In need of an ideal identity. Who am I without This ****** to make me whole? How do I heave my heart Away from this hole? Have you seen how hard this is? But it's been short of a year, Of believing I can simply be. And before I break Bleed me of my bane. And for me, bear no malice. Tightly take me Away from my terible tempest. Time tells me it's time to stop. Too long I've tortured my tenemet. Tame the tantrum tearing through me. Sober seems strong, But it's systematic survival. Stopping the surrender To something stimulating. Learning to stand sedated. No I'm no longer numb. No longer neglecting my need For new novcane. Knowing I'll never need This vaccine again. You are all my ambition. Dispelling my ailments And afflictions. I am hard to adore, I know. You are my new addiction. You have me dreaming, Praying we are real. Made me feel. Don't decieve my brittle belief. Keep me, don't leave. I'm not the kind to fly. For you i'd try to dive. Unafraid I might die. I don't hide from the night. This is what I've been trying to find.

Tip of the tongue the teeth and the lips
I love my country: India , but I hate many of its rulers, as they speak for the poor and act for tycoons bellicose, and- Diversity sighs in armed Unity; The selfish corrupted in unity March ahead on graves crafty. I love my country: India , but August fifteenth : with freedom, opened all devilish forces out of Hell to fell all virtues. Grim faced Buddha smiles Like a nuclear Phantom ,his tears drip on tomb of Peace. No white dove sits on dome It bleeds in the lap of Buddha. If birth is the cause of gloom. who stops one from bloom? Dearth of berth clamour for Death of birth at the womb. I love my country: India , but Souls are free on lovely Earth Lay bodies strain to survive. A nominal word equanimity Gushes in landslide infirmity. Service becomes self –service, In black ink sleeps Socialism. Fear Neurosis like King Kamsa Keeps Liberty behind the bars. Healthy, wealthy Bharat Matha Groans in labour room for Santi. Note: 1). August fifteenth= 15 August 1947 when India became free from Briton. 2).Buddha=Gutham Buddha(Prince Sidhardha) who established Buddhism.3).Kamsa= The mythological character , uncle of Lord Krishna who chained even his sister Devaki out of the fear psychosis. 4),Bharat Matha= Indians consider Bharat/India as their Mother(Matha)-so it is Mother land not Fatherland for them .Santi/Shanti=a Sanskrit word used in Vedas and Upanishads of India which means Peace or Islam.

I love my country: India, but
Let the bird of loudest lay On the sole Arabian tree, Herald sad and trumpet be, To whose sound chaste wings obey. But thou shrieking harbinger, Foul precurrer of the fiend, Augur of the fever’s end, To this troop come thou not near. From this session interdict Every fowl of tyrant wing Save the eagle, feather’d king: Keep the obsequy so strict. Let the priest in surplice white That defunctive music can, Be the death-divining swan, Lest the requiem lack his right. And thou, treble-dated crow, That thy sable gender mak’st With the breath thou giv’st and tak’st, ‘Mongst our mourners shalt thou go. Here the anthem doth commence:— Love and constancy is dead; Phoenix and the turtle fled In a mutual flame from hence. So they loved, as love in twain Had the essence but in one; Two distincts, division none; Number there in love was slain. Hearts remote, yet not asunder; Distance, and no space was seen ‘Twixt the turtle and his queen: But in them it were a wonder. So between them love did shine, That the turtle saw his right Flaming in the phoenix’ sight; Either was the other’s mine. Property was thus appall’d, That the self was not the same; Single nature’s double name Neither two nor one was call’d. Reason, in itself confounded, Saw division grow together; To themselves yet either neither; Simple were so well compounded, That it cried, ‘How true a twain Seemeth this concordant one! Love hath reason, reason none If what parts can so remain.’ Whereupon it made this threne To the phoenix and the dove, Co-supremes and stars of love, As chorus to their tragic scene. THRENOS Beauty, truth, and rarity, Grace in all simplicity, Here enclosed in cinders lie. Death is now the phoenix’ nest; And the turtle’s loyal breast To eternity doth rest, Leaving no posterity: ’Twas not their infirmity, It was married chastity. Truth may seem, but cannot be; Beauty brag, but ’tis not she; Truth and beauty buried be. To this urn let those repair That are either true or fair; For these dead birds sigh a prayer.

The Phoenix And The Turtle

Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years. Spare me the bitterness and from sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world may know me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my path. Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

A Prayer — Max Ehrmann
When the wordly things get all the glory You tend to live a life that's unholy. Facing the life's painful reality. Fight againt wicked principalities Losing your sense of morality. As you are procrastinating about Learning your biblical A...B...C's You are counting up your salary When you should be counting all of God's promises like 1...2...3.. Thats when it begins to Spread like an deadly ****** transmitted Disease First its sniffle and a sneeze Next is a cough and a wheeze Then you'll Barely be able to breathe Knocking you to your knees Begging God, "Please Heal Me" Praying desperately For His Mercy Then the STD forcefully will begin to tightly squeeze. Till it becomes an Infection that attacks your every function flowing like a virus. This sickness removes the color from life and leave you like eyes with damaged to the nerves, pupil and Iris. This happens when you Subtract Christ from your life like a math equation involving minus. Being sticken with this ailment will deprives us, If we dont let Christ take the wheel to Drive and guide us. This Infirmity is very cancerous It will impact your 6 senses Just like the Symbol for The Eye Of Horous. Because we are individuals who are like sponges, filled with holes, absorbant and yet very porous. Beneath the fleshly being lies a spirit Crying out for help can you hear it? This deficiency will leave you Shivering from the Chill of it's swift wind's cold breeze The very thought of this illness makes the soul freeze Once it realizes it has a contracted a Spiritually Transmitted Disease.

Wearied of sinning, wearied of repentance, Wearied of self, I turn, my God, to Thee; To Thee, my Judge, on Whose all-righteous sentence Hangs mine eternity: I turn to Thee, I plead Thyself with Thee,-- Be pitiful to me. Wearied I loathe myself, I loathe my sinning, My stains, my festering sores, my misery: Thou the Beginning, Thou ere my beginning Didst see and didst foresee Me miserable, me sinful, ruined me,-- I plead Thyself with Thee. I plead Thyself with Thee Who art my Maker, Regard Thy handiwork that cries to Thee; I plead Thyself with Thee Who wast partaker Of mine infirmity, Love made Thee what Thou art, the love of me,-- I plead Thyself with Thee.

For Thine Own Sake, O My God
What I said you can't define A chill that runs down my spine It lingers down my veins Am I here? Am I sane? You look at me like I'm crazy You haven't said a word and just maybe You want to leave and let me be I cannot move I'm in the state of infirmity. They call me ecstatic In fact I am enigmatic. I did it again and realized I am alive. You cannot bare to see me here In this insane trance I fear. Just set me free Into the rain, from all the pain Down the drain, through the hole I see no light, everything white. I might be dead? No more me sick in the head. Life has become lucid, but did you see what you did? The power you had to make me mad? Will you hark back to my old talk? Or will you walk, Away from me? Leave me here Let me be.

We don't appreciate what we have until we lose it We don't see the glow on the skin until we bruise it We don't believe in miracles until we need it We don't appreciate farming until there's famine We don't appreciate water availability until there's water scarcity We don't appreciate wealth until we see poverty We don't appreciate good health until we experience infirmity We don't appreciate democracy until we see tyranny We don't appreciate loyalty until we see jealousy We don't appreciate liberty until we see slavery!

This time last year you had dreads. Such a labyrinth of biology tied by sweat, salt, and blood. Laced up in a fashion of infirmity, held together by fleeting desires. Promises keep us floating. Like the oxygen inlaced in driftwood. We're densities, varying. Fragile like a molecule, but as durable as atom. At the mercy of magnetism. Vibrating deep from the core. While waiting modestly for… nature to carry us home. Follow the coastline.

Follow the Coastline
And He said to me: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.” And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me. Because of this, I am pleased in my infirmity: in reproaches, in difficulties, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful. I have become foolish; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you. For I have been nothing less than those who claim to be above the measure of Apostles, even though I am nothing. For what is there that you have had which is less than the other churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this injury. Behold, this is the third time I have prepared to come to you, and yet I will not be a burden to you. For I am seeking not the things that are yours, but you yourselves. And neither should the children store up for the parents, but the parents for the children. And so, very willingly, I will spend and exhaust myself for the sake of your souls, loving you more, while being loved less. My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.

I Have Listened
Brewing up fibs and fables to keep the peace, a narrative soaked in sentiment but armed with deceit. Infirmity cradles the mind and nestles in the heart, retaliatory judgements for those who took part. The eternal absence of a rightful apology, will breed civil war in your land for centuries.

We Live In A Beautiful World (Don't Panic)
Ain't blemished with blood There're queues of personas Trying to nick every motion and shift Every angst of the heart Until they're hopes sink in. On those blue and hard things They find comfort from each infirmity There're linings all over Maneuvering every groove Shaving the people out To the finished and whitened stucco. Gold steels are not embroidered The hand of the room Looks inviting With warmth and fondness , Some drives in Unlocked and melting every delusion The sky speaks The clouds has no mutual feelings Acting odd and remarkable No rainbow to be seen. Blonde arrows With every breath one takes With every move one tries Choosing to hold close the lacks Accepting every fault For indeed, at the latter days The Healer Himself was the Way.

Healer
According to the gospel As the lord and savior traversed the holy land Preaching the word and showing the light Speaking with god and devil alike Speaking love to mankind It is said He would find the sick The suffering of infirmity He would lay his hands to their skin And heal them He would heal them According to the gospel My days are long And I have bruises that don't show on my flesh Impracticalities that should cause mental maladies That would help me find the self destruction I fear And that I fear awaits me I'm tired when I wake up And dead through the day But I feel alive Every time I put my words to the page I feel a sage Whose wisdom is generational I feel hope I may be sick Maybe I may be a lost and tortured soul unfit to exist In this existence Maybe I may feel pain I may And the only disease I know is the brutality of life Maybe Poetry heals me It is the hands in the desert On the ***** in the cave It is the words as rain to feed the seed It is the sprout of a flower And the bloom It is my reason And my religion It is my gospel And when the angels sing If no one else can hear but I can I'll know of peace In a world of disarray

Would you still love me: If the sun prevents its light And the moon its glow at night, That all at once becomes gloomy? Would you still love me: If all things awry go And nothing at all to show, But a good token of misery? Would you still love me: If my arrow cannot kiss Thy waiting bow's release, To have a bout of ecstasy? Would you still love me: If medical reports say "cancer " That has no surgical answer, Or another form of infirmity? Or would you only love me: If my life wields a touch of Midas With the revelry of Las Vegas-- All sublime, all sweet, all rosy?

Would You Still Love Me?
Have prayed and praised and fasted, And have done all what one knew to do. Still sick, jobless, barren or indebted, One would be wondering what anew Is to be done more, for a miracle To happen and dislodge one's obstacle. Are God's ears deaf, one may think, Reasoning if his eyes are not blind? For how could he allow one to sink In the sea of sorrow, if he is kind Indeed to every member of his creatures On earth, whom he daily nurtures? Yet, the Lord is faithful forever Despite the many spites of one's life. Though one may not now be as that feller Rich, hale and hearty, or like that nymph Heavy; yet God shall the situation turn Around. To every even, there must be a morn. He that for compassion wholly a widow's Mount of debts leveled and gave progeny To Sarah and Anna, who alone windows In heavens made and healed grave infirmity. Christ can this dead raise and cause that dry Bone to live again; no pain escapes his eye.

Despite the Spites of Life
Subtly, so subtly, the workings of Time Must alter the shape of the outer shell Of a body once vibrant and molded so well! Slowly, but surely, like a wood-boring worm, Out of the gloom of a perilous clime, Firm in the grasp of a seasonable term, Comes the chill-laden wintry spell Of sad infirmity in a dismal sphere; Lost in the woods of a cherished dream, In the thickening fog of Nature's scheme, Midst muffled sounds of distant strains Are earlier years that knew no fear Of time and age, what now remains Eternity must rightly redeem.

Aging
Forsaken by friends and family: Abandoned in his wretched infirmity To be pining away for sheer eight And thirty weary years straight, Was that bloke by the cool pool Of Bethesda left. Yet like a mule Did he stick to his lone faith, That no matter how long he'd wait For his miracle--he would nonethe- Less in his belief in God ever tarry. And so it was one dandy day, That Jesus, on a short stay In Jerusalem, for for him to honour A feast there, did spot with candour Clear, that impotent cove long forgotten There, who was by sickness smitten. Though a mother her child may neglect, And his son a father may also reject; Yet not God. Not the good and loving Lord, even in spite of man's many a sin. Heaven does never forget at all humanity, 'Cause the earth is watched by the Trinity All the time without ceasing. For good, Nay for evil; giving us breath and food And everything that our souls so desire, According to the will of Heavenshire. The fulfilment of our life's dream may, Like smoke in the air, linger. Some day, Though, in God's how and time, shall it yet To reality come, if in focus we do not fret. For the compassion that filled his heart With the kindness that could never depart From him, Christ went over that infirm Fella, that his healing he may affirm. By Jesus was he thus made at once whole: Touching not only his body but also his soul.

Away amongst the dappled sky You see me racing swiftly by And harken to my engines cry The heavens ever speeding nigh For ****** will push me swiftly high Tis skyward that I fly! The jet stream takes me rapidly The form aerodynamically To the place I mean to be A bullet shot from barrel, me! So fast a blur is all you see… To lofty places I ascend The constellations to befriend And through the space which has no end I strike the fabric, make it bend Before spacetime itself I rend… I land in distant years behind My eldest kin I hope to find For in their strength they’ve become blind A warning have I in my mind “Beware, the future is not kind…” And when my purpose here is done They hear my mighty engines run I launch once more toward the sun My sonic blast, all hearing, stun Like bullet shot from smoking gun! Then back through rift I must return Slowing by my retro burn But soon a dreadful thing I learn A comet speeding struck my stern Stranded now, defeat I spurn! For though my state is more then grave Tis home my soul dose wholly crave And so a plan I start to pave A burnished sail my life will save For I can ride a solar wave. Now close to earth I soon will be Approaching far too rapidly For burning is my craft, yes she The one who swiftly carried me Crash! I plunge into the sea. My ship is recked but I survive Drifting eastward half alive When to an island I arrive And on said place, for life I strive. Then after months of living there Illness I take through lack of care But then a ship, tall sailed and fair Picks me up, off island bare And gives me drought of spirit ere Death claim me or age **** my hair. And when I am safe home at last Infirmity from me I cast Recalling engines mighty blast My journey to the distant past And galaxies rushing toward me fast! I write it down, just how you read And tell it true to all who heed And now conclude, for I am freed With brand new rocket, lightning speed What a wondrous life I lead…

HYPOCHONDRIA
eye saw an overweight mother walking down one of our avenues. Beside her, a daughter of perhaps eight or nine years of age.  The mother was heavy though once in possession of attractive.  Plump everywhere, thought kindly, was  the daughter. Past obese, on her way to fat.  While at that age you can easily be transformed by a lucky blossom, a passion for sports, both the mother and daughter were holding hands, smiling and happy together, as is...as they were, where they were... in a big city and universe where skinny is the currency of happiness, I grew agitated, internally.  The mother had to have been injured by the most awful slings and arrows of the world's impartial, unforgiving dislike for all things that were not pitch perfect.  Agonies that children are often the object of the subject of verbal water boarding by bad gene bullies were surely yet to come!  Why did she not as a mother, protect her daughter's future and have her avoid the pressure of a world that pretends to celebrate diversity, but truly loves only the infirmity of acceptable uniformity? Diet, execise, caring, mothering, something! why did she allow, permit, nay perhaps, encourage this child to mimic her thus? Was it a caustic indifference, a simple misery needs company? of course, it could have been genetic and I'm just another overwhelming overweight ******* too. But twenty fours later, I saw them in my mind's eye clearly - holding hands and happy together, and I forgave them my conditioned trespasses, but remained worried about the many nights of tears that no prophet was required to predict.

Past obese, on her way to fat.  While at that age you can easily be transformed by a lucky blossom, a passion for sports, both the mother and daughter were holding hands, smiling and happy together, as is...as they were, where they were... in a big city and universe where skinny is the currency of happiness, I grew agitated, internally.  The mother had to have been injured by the most awful slings and arrows of the world's impartial, unforgiving dislike for all things that were not pitch perfect.  Agonies that children are often the object of the subject of verbal water boarding by bad gene bullies were surely yet to come!  Why did she not as a mother, protect her daughter's future and have her avoid the pressure of a world that pretends to celebrate diversity, but truly loves only the infirmity of acceptable uniformity? Diet, execise, caring, mothering, something! why did she allow, permit, nay perhaps, encourage this child to mimic her thus? Was it a caustic indifference, a simple misery needs company? of course, it could have been genetic and I'm just another overwhelming overweight ******* too. But twenty fours later, I saw them in my mind's eye clearly - holding hands and happy together, and I forgave them my conditioned trespasses, but remained worried about the many nights of tears that no prophet was required to predict.

The Panther scales above the infirmity of the jungle like a reverent vicar, in her mouth she clutches an infant. To some this is the most intoxicating world—so long as you don’t mind a little ruse, how could there be a day in your whole life that doesn’t consist of a flurry of happiness? Below, game lopes abundantly as the ocean tributaries, each frolicking along a distinctive course, not that she ever really ruminates over them, or anything else. The panther has never had to digest a fable, though her existence propagates an analogous terror. When predators raid her hearth, they remain ephemeral, irrelevant – her insatiable hunger the only story she has ever managed to revisit. Your skin will never feel her eyes. I cannot say she is wrong. Piously she prepares her supper, with its meager, undeveloped vigor, erupting a contented roar in the conversion of its properties. She exists the product of her kind, the natural order her excuse as she scales back above the inconsequence of the jungle again, to do the same thing (as I’d longed to do something, anything) perfectly.

Stranger than Fiction
Departed.. From this place. Elevation. The feeling of transformation. Highly apace. Culminating into eternity. No pain. No infirmity.. A sound soul. Wending.. To meet its goal. Finally... Ascending.

Ascention
Thou art my wife,my mother,my babe. Thou art the mad mosaic of my cradle song. Thou art my soul's familiar friend. None deserves to be my destination Except thee. Thou art Being and Non-Being of the self of mine Which is thine Seated inside thine heart. I am thy slave,o thou, Myself who art entirely. Thine is the kingdom of my thoughts. Thou hast made me everlasting, Altering and transforming, Like thee,never constant. For thee i have kept the Water of Life. Thou who hast gone after the I Ching Like a Chinese fascination of beauty and wisdom. Verily,thou along with me, Hast gone after the form. O Loved One, Thou hast embraced the reality That thou canst find in mere assertion. My love is my life That i have sought for years. Although in essence it is nothingness As the Taoist vessel, As the quintessence of the utmost Way_ Vast and vague,without shape. Regard me not from my infirmity. O' why dost thou make my thoughts frail Beneath which are six rivers Of Love and Faith, Mystery and Secret,Yin and Yang. Thou art my babe inside my womb Who hast hundreds and thousands of names In this far stretching expanse Of non-existence and nothingness. Thou art my embryo, Bowed in worship inside my womb. I often feel within me Mine divine bowing performance. Verily,thou art near me. Verily,thou art within me. Verily,thine is The realm of my existence.
