#*Can it love you like God loves you, with a love that is better than life? Can it connect you to eternal beauty? Can it save you? Can it redeem you?  Can it lift you out of the miry pit? Can it make you clean enough to finally feel acceptable? Can it delight your soul to the core? Can it take your breath away with its faithfulness to you? Can it paint both sunrise and sunset across the sky to beckon your attention? Can it cause the breeze to blow and gently caress your cheeks? Can it send hummingbirds and wildflowers across your path to romance your heart? Can it parade before you the starry host and call them each by name? Can it probe you to the depths and fill you with itself? Can it rush to your aid riding on the wings of the wind? Can it satisfy your hunger and thirst with bountiful things? Can it give to you feet like a deer that you might dance upon the heights? Can it arrange every detail of your life to draw you and drive you to itself? Can it pursue you with all the resources of the universe? Can it know you through and through and still desire you? Can it raise you up and seat you in the heavenly realms and bless you with every spiritual blessing? Can it supply your every need out of its glorious riches? Can its grace be sufficient for you and its mercy help you in your greatest temptation? Can it pour overflowing comfort into you through all of your troubles? Can it reach down to draw you out of deep waters? Can it set you on an unshakable foundation? Can it bound across the mountains to come to your rescue? Can it make you lie down in green pastures and lead you beside still waters? Can it walk with you through the darkest wilderness and never leave you or forsake you? Can it carry you when you are weak or have fallen? Can it let you rest between its shoulders when you are weary or burdened? Can it escort you to heaven’s banqueting table and spread its banner of love over you? Can it hide you in the shelter of its wing? Can it be your daily portion and immerse you in the boundlessness of itself? Can it clothe you in robes of righteousness and garments of salvation?  Can it give to you praise in exchange for mourning? Can it bestow on you a crown of beauty for ashes? Can it turn your wailing into dancing? Can it flood you with peace like a river? Can it fill your heart with joy in the worst of afflictions? Can it know the way to lead you home? Can it refine you in its fire and bring you forth as gold?  Can it capture you fully even as it sets you fully free? Can it ever truly be your Everything?*#

its been moments since I thought about you in any capacity minutes since I remembered some portion of our story hours since I felt anger days since I tried to pick up my phone weeks since I last contacted you months since we last touched. its been months since you crushed me weeks since I put on the brave face days since I longed for you hours since I spoke of you minutes of starring into a blank screen silently pleading moments before all this is behind me again. It’ll be Moments of weakness when I think about “us” Minutes of silent cursing while you run through my mind Hours of rationalizing before I let it go Days of depression I know Weeks of emotions crammed into a few minutes Months of self doubt and insanity Soon it’ll be years But I’ll always have the tears.

Are you a witness of the precise moment on that very proverbial, unpredictable day when everyone did mind the gap but the Ramadan moon took a step? None could time it at first, as if it got out from a black hole or an uncharted water well: down the trail, who can tell? Now a day or two is gone, has passed by. The moon is in the fast lane soaring high, and fills the orb with serene soft light. Ah, buddies catch up, the suave fireflies. Tons of these stay awake in the night. Before they fly away, vanishing afar into the epic portion of the night. A confluence down the black moon, only to catch a glimpse of any pattern: a morning star or a forming pin bar, a slice of light on a gingerly lit chart. Premiering the Eid moon’s first blush. Yet, if only one can time it, when will it flash? Deep down a black moon, all eyes black out. Still, how can one sigh though? Ah, the unpredictable black moon, should it show just a peek, showers the earth with Eid’s joy! Will it show up in no time, far from the sight— galaxies light up the shady nook of night. A houri in the Eden rings the alarm. The veiled bunch of fairies push the sky. Every star throws its hat, only to tell first when a crescent moon will crop up And with the first spill of moonlight, topflight it goes, pushing the boat out! A walk down the black moon without a light or water gone into the blue, As though walking dead, blindfolded. No pattern, decimals of Pi undefined by design, but spot on gets to the apex spike! There’s still an unmarked blank space the light on this way doesn’t paint. And this time, the time won’t tell is there anyone who can is anyone’s guess. So should the houri dare to run, then cherubic she be on her flawless flaw, rushes to ask the Queen of Heaven! Oh, good luck to her, a wild one. Time the black moon, its first glance precisely when the Eid moon will crop up. Enlighten us, we are more than curious. Tell us, too—don’t just tweet it to the stars.

Are you struck with her figure and face? How lucky you happened to meet With none of the gossiping race, Who dwell in this horrible street! They of slanderous hints never tire; I love to approve and commend, And the lady you so much admire, Is my very particular friend! How charming she looks — her dark curls Really float with a natural air; And the beads might be taken for pearls, That arc twined in that beautiful hair: Then what tints her fair features o'erspread - That she uses white paint some pretend; But, believe me, she only wears red She's my very particular friend! Then her voice, how divine it appears While carolling: "Rise gentle moon;" Lord Crotchet lastnight stopped his ears, And declared that she sung out of tune; For my part, I think that her lay Might to Malibran's sweetness pretend; But people won't mind what I say — I'm her very particular friend! Then her writings — her exquisite rhyme To posterity surely must reach; (I wonder she finds so much time With four little sisters to teach!) A critic in Blackwood, indeed. Abused the last poem she penned; The article made my heart bleed — She's my very particular friend! Her brother dispatched with a sword, His friend in a duel, last June; And her cousin eloped from her lord, With a handsome and whiskered dragoon: Her father with duns is beset, Yet continues to dash and to spend — She's too good for so worthless a set — She's my very particular friend! All her chance of a portion is lost, And I fear she'll be single for life; Wise people will count up the cost Of a gay and extravagant wife: But tis odious to marry for pelf, (Though the times are not likely to mend,) She's a fortune besides in herself — She's my very particular friend! That she's somewhat sarcastic and pert, It were useless and vain to deny; She's a little too much of a flirt, And a slattern when no one is by: From her servants she constantly parts, Before they have reached the year's end; But her heart is the kindest of hearts — She's my very particular friend! Oh! never have pencil or pen, A creature more exquisite traced; That her style does not take with the men, Proves a sad want of judgment and taste; And if to the sketch I give now, Some flattering touches I lend; Do for partial affection allow — She's my very particular friend!

Bored. Of people, Of things. Bored. Of commitment, Of flings. Bored. Of goings, Of comings. Bored. Of smiles, Of laughter. Bored Of crying, Of sadness. Bored. Of anger, Of madness. Bored of everything because Nothing that exists is just Quite interesting enough, Not on the ground or up above, To secure attention in it's clutch For longer than a portion of A second.

Something Bored This Way Comes
In the last months of March 2014, Soldier Othello the Moroccan moor Was in Stratford-upon-Avon at the graveside Of William Shakespeare the English bard, He was observing the anniversary Of Shakespeare and his European brother Cervantes, He had in his pocket another charm and amulet Given to him by his paternal grandfather, This time round not a charm for love portion, But a mystique totem to raise the dead from dusts, As Othello himself has hitherto over-matured Above the painful torture of *** with aristocrats, He has left it for the Jewish aristotrash; Frantz Kafka, Whose torturous appetite for *** with German women, Was the sorriest eyesore of his thespic efforts. Like Jesus at the grave of Lazarus Othello groaned by shouting; William the son of John! No response, he shouted again; Shakespeare the bard! Then the mystique powers of Othello’s amulet Electrified Shakespeare back to life, What is your problem you black moor, The ***** of Morocco, the soldier Who beguiled Desdemona into betrothal, Not because of glory of your work, But due to charms of your love portion Bequeathed to you by your witch mother, What brings you to my sepulchre, For only to perturbed my purgatorial peace, What brings you!? Questioned Shakespeare the bard. Am no longer the moor, blackness is class But not the race, as race is bankrupt, I come here to salute you with good news, That your European brother, Alfred Nobel, Currently rewards thespic bards like you, Whether black or white, blue or green, The ***** bards from the natural forest, He also rewards, so wake up and pick the prize! Retorted Othello in virtue of truth, And also tell me the native bricks Of your beautiful architecture; Where and how did you mold thy bricks? Your brown English bricks that walled your culture; ***** clown, leapfrog, mercurial, oxymoron, Falsitafity, Shyllocking, colleaguery and window, Cauldron, graymalkin, woo, betroth, infatuation and so on. From underneath his sepulcher Shakespeare broke A violent gaggle of laughter as if he was ten English skeletons, You Othello you are still a beautiful moor Whose foolishness time has not condemned to oblivion, You are as a fool as I created you ; I will only teach you One brick, the window , that you go and put on Your wind disturbed African huts, Put the wind door on your hut, And be flexible in your tongue To give it English elegance Combine and shorten wind and door To get your cultural brick of; window !

The greatest gift you can give someone is your time because when you give your time you are giving a portion of your life that you will never get back and time is more valuable than money because you can always get more money but you cannot get more time. Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters because good things take time so live every moment, love beyond words and laugh every day and don't let your struggle become your identity because nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anybody can start today and make a new ending. Age is not a guarantee of maturity and sometimes your heart needs more time to accept what your mind already knows so know that any time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time because good things take time and if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it. Hard times will always reveal true friends just as time discovers truth and time is not free but it is priceless and you can't own it but you can use it and you can't keep it but you can spend it but once you have lost it, it is gone forever.                                                                           Jon York     2016

Lost is the African pride Gone are those who could ride the tide Left are those who drown beneath the wave Prone to dehumanization because of greed I see burning buildings Mutilated bodies Escalating violence And social unrest Lost is the Spirit of Ubuntu Left is a society deprived of its integrity Selfishness and poverty is at the core of our society Is the real Africa lost to antiquity? Crime is rife as people strive for a decent life. A decent life earned through decadence Should we stone foreigners because the government is failing to provide employment? Or should we burn down buildings so that our voices can be heard? I am ashamed of the profanity we breed It’s a calamity for us to be xenophobic It’s a taboo for us to call Africans foreigners in their motherland. It’s not who they are. It’s not who we are It’s not who you are It’s not who I am Together we are the Africa that has survived slave trade The Africa that has survived apartheid The Africa that has survived colonization The Africa that is surviving westernization We don’t fight for employment We create employment We don’t breed resentment We translate sentiments Let us evoke the Spirit of Ubuntu And let’s behave like men not animals Let us ignite the Spirit of Ubuntu And let’s stand like men immortal The Spirit of Ubuntu is what separates us from animals Terrorism shouldn’t exist in Africa It’s a disgrace for us to be unethical Xenophobia shouldn’t be heard in Africa Animosity is not our portion

A Muslim boy with a clock Is seen as a terrorist with a glock Maybe i'm right, maybe i'm wrong But if he were White, Asian, Hispanic or even Pacific Islander Nobody would of suspected anything. When are we going to stop fearing an entire race for only a portion radical and illogical ways of treating others? I don't tolerate people who behead others if they don't agree with their religion I don't agree with the repressive governments that control everyone and stone them for minor misdemeanors There are good men out there fighting this evil that has plagued their homelands I'm all for ending terrorism of all kinds But let's stop terrorism of innocents too Sure, i'm afraid of what the radicals will do to their own people, my people and the rest of the world But i'll be dammed if i treated somebody from the Middle East like a monster when i don't even know who they are If it wasn't for a Middle Eastern girl The Syrians girls wouldn't have an improved education If it wasn't for a Middle Eastern man fending off the Taliban and risking his entire village to keep Marcus Littrell alive He would of been KIA a long time ago. What about the ones who fought and died for America? Nobody ever mentions them The media wants me to hate them all, but i laugh and shake my head Warped minds trying to warp others I only see the ones who want to do us harm, and the ones who want to live peacefully and away from a life of hell Brothers and sisters, just a different culture and skin color I'm sorry if America seems racist or hateful, but i'm proud to be the one who throws those two words in the trash Because i'm not afraid to speak my mind And i welcome everyone here America is everyone's home. If only the Soviet Union never invaded Afghanistan If only the people were not scared To be free like America. Unity for all, Religious differences and Cultures alike. I hope one day a Muslim man or Woman can walk down an American street without being labeled as a terrorist. I hope one day these repressive governments fall into the hands of democracy And we start the Age of Unity again.

I don't tolerate people who behead others if they don't agree with their religion I don't agree with the repressive governments that control everyone and stone them for minor misdemeanors There are good men out there fighting this evil that has plagued their homelands I'm all for ending terrorism of all kinds But let's stop terrorism of innocents too Sure, i'm afraid of what the radicals will do to their own people, my people and the rest of the world But i'll be dammed if i treated somebody from the Middle East like a monster when i don't even know who they are If it wasn't for a Middle Eastern girl The Syrians girls wouldn't have an improved education If it wasn't for a Middle Eastern man fending off the Taliban and risking his entire village to keep Marcus Littrell alive He would of been KIA a long time ago. What about the ones who fought and died for America? Nobody ever mentions them The media wants me to hate them all, but i laugh and shake my head Warped minds trying to warp others I only see the ones who want to do us harm, and the ones who want to live peacefully and away from a life of hell Brothers and sisters, just a different culture and skin color I'm sorry if America seems racist or hateful, but i'm proud to be the one who throws those two words in the trash Because i'm not afraid to speak my mind And i welcome everyone here America is everyone's home. If only the Soviet Union never invaded Afghanistan If only the people were not scared To be free like America. Unity for all, Religious differences and Cultures alike. I hope one day a Muslim man or Woman can walk down an American street without being labeled as a terrorist. I hope one day these repressive governments fall into the hands of democracy And we start the Age of Unity again.

You are fireworks in my chest and things I can't hold on to are slipping between my toes as I walk across them. You don't care that you showed up and stamped a small portion of my stomach with your butterfly-shaped coil. I want it off gone out done but I know you'll come back and I want you to feel the outline of it. That way you'll know I never stopped trying never stopped caring. I need you to care, too.

Midnight
Do you want a slice of cake, might keep you going just for now. But as you are not used to eating, you have the hooves we'll keep the cow. The modern world is dying younger, unlike those in the poorer east. Who die through lack of food and water, we're dying because we're obese. In this modern city arena, it seems our portion is the more free health and overwhelming safety but we save that small slice for the poor. The waste is massive, over burdened, tons of food are chucked away. As we stick to our sell by clearance just think for what so many pray. Do we need such a massive slice, even half would fill our needs. The west gets fat the east is wanting scrubbing around for scraps and seeds. So next time when feasting in McDonalds, and washing down with large milkshake. Try and see your own reflexion and you'll see whom eats all the cake. Before you leave that busy food-hall, just have a quick look in the bin and you will see the unholy waste, perhaps you'll also see the sin. The slicing of this planets cake   seems to be divided wrong. So cut it into a fairer slices and send it to where it belongs.

Slice that Cake
The chestnut casts his flambeaux, and the flowers Stream from the hawthorn on the wind away, The doors clap to, the pane is blind with showers. Pass me the can, lad; there's an end of May. There's one spoilt spring to scant our mortal lot, One season ruined of your little store. May will be fine next year as like as not: But ay, but then we shall be twenty-four. We for a certainty are not the first Have sat in taverns while the tempest hurled Their hopeful plans to emptiness, and cursed Whatever brute and blackguard made the world. It is in truth iniquity on high To cheat our sentenced souls of aught they crave, And mar the merriment as you and I Fare on our long fool's-errand to the grave. Iniquity it is; but pass the can. My lad, no pair of kings our mothers bore; Our only portion is the estate of man: We want the moon, but we shall get no more. If here to-day the cloud of thunder lours To-morrow it will hie on far behests; The flesh will grieve on other bones than ours Soon, and the soul will mourn in other ******* The troubles of our proud and angry dust Are from eternity, and shall not fail. Bear them we can, and if we can we must. Shoulder the sky, my lad, and drink your ale.

The Chestnut Casts His Flambeaux

In each of the make their poems twice as beautiful please. Also make their poems twice as powerful as they were before. Bless them with doubling their poetry talent in every way now.

God Double Their Poetry Gift
HERE IS WISHING EVERY INDIAN A HAPPY DIWALI On a dark no-moon day, comes Diwali. Sing children joyfully, "aali re aali, Diwali aali". Tiny lamps, make this dark no-moon night bright. Indeed this is a beautiful, eye-pleasing sight. Children, I know, crackers you love to burst. But kindly a minute spare, n listen to me first. Minutes few of fun, cause problems very big n grave. People many, suffocated feel; n pollution we pave. Frighten we, little babies n of course, dogs too. In future, about our actions insane, we will rue. Celebrate let us Diwali, with beautiful, colourful Rangolis n lights. Share sweets special; homemade n healthy. Helping moms to them make, even if you are wealthy. Let's a portion small of these goodies, with the less fortunate share. Prove let us to ourselves, that we really n truly care. Armin Dutia Motashaw

Happy Diwali
She tends her cactus garden, beads of perspiration, works with a maniacal absorption. One of many visitors she receives yet looking at each other's eyes dawned this quick realization; similar maniacal obsession and passion. A tornado she was, self created, in her swirl uprooted many huge trees, even tombstones by the sheer force unleashed, with her poetic flourish. Love of a crazy woman with effervescent creative  surge, is a magical portion brewed by a witch , in her forbidden rituals, night after dark night. Injured by conjugal lust, unrequited prompted to walk the garden path holding hands of lovers, one after the other, who took her to wilderness, deeper and deeper and at the end to a blind alley, life was a tribal dance, from where return was impossible. She never had to apologize to her mate, who for all the world to see, remained  with her till he went behind the curtain. Imagine a life, a walk through a cactus garden,where sharp thorns would nip, searing pain and bleeding has its moments of exhilaration. Life pulsated wildly for her on such notions, (There were many who walked with her for each adventure) They met, poetry flowed like wine, she had a rare warmth seen in women of such creative combinations, she feared nothing, but  her truth made many squirm. Midnight dances of her and her friends gypsy bunch, attained such fame.But all ended in a great  betrayal, she was deep down a naive woman, craving for love, to immerse in it. On occasions she would change identities at will, she was one but many there wasn't any one like her before or after. They would walk through the witch's cactus patch, somnambulists reciting poems, when they are together, in private, cactus spine criss- crossed his skin her nail wrote poems on the back of the lover of the moment, each one bled like soldiers in combat. One monsoon night brought everything to an end, the cactus garden was trampled by big grey wolves, the journey met with an abrupt end. What is she, cactus herself, vampire, witch, lover indefatigable, with the heart of a lion? Erotomaniacal  poetic surge, yet a fantasy in flesh and blood? **They buried her in a cactus garden away from town not even ten people arrived to mourn, not even all her lovers, had time that afternoon. Her songs of pain, pierced hearts and they still shed tears, cactus garden, it was--- the metaphor perfected by her life and death.**

In Her Cactus Garden

Well, she looks like a witch, Her pointed nose does twitch. As she frowns upon the grocery list, Then scrunches in a timely twist. Bidding her straw broom, Which she doth groom. Hovers away into the gloom, Over a pond she doth loom. To frogs, rats, snakes and slime, Quoth she, "All in good time!!" Soon they'll be no room, For the impending doom. Her cauldron happily hissing, As she adds to the seething, Her black cat begins meowing, After the rats, he begins running. Slowly cooling the putrid portion, She applies the lovely lotion. The moles, warts and silver hair, Disappear into thin air. Her velvet apparel now lace, Not a blemish does one trace. Fondling her silky Siamese, She heads home with ease. To the little candy castle, Awaiting Hansel and Gretel.

The GW*
Her arms semaphore fat triangles, Pudgy HANDS bunched on layered hips Where bones idle under years of fatback And lima beans. Her jowls shiver in accusation Of crimes cliched by Repetition. Her children, strangers To childhood's TOYS, play Best the games of darkened doorways, Rooftop tag, and know the slick feel of Other people's property. Too fat to ***** Too mad to work, Searches her dreams for the Lucky sign and walks bare-handed Into a den of bereaucrats for her portion. 'They don't give me welfare. I take it.'

Momma Welfare Roll
Last night I dreamed My life as a comic book. An intermingled mess, Those who have not read Every single issue, Cannot begin to know. A brightly colored spectrum Of unexpected blows. Amidst all the villian’s Unrelenting throws Of powers no more Than planting The seeds of self doubt, I stood armed to fall. As each seed landed Upon  my head, I fell to watch Each punch line Read only “Bam!” and “Kapow!”. The plot never thickened And never came to save me. In a story from the villan’s head, Perpetually trapped Until the hero returned to write her portion of my tale. As the seeds grew Into absolute fear, A twisted feeling Took hold of my gut. Who is the antagonist and who the protagonist?
