Life is like a garden of seasonal change
Spring first ushered in by gentle rain
The crocuses, daffodils and tulips abound
While the birds are singing all around

Spring fades to summer slowly
As all the trees regain their green foliage
Hot steamy days and warm muggy nights
Makes for the garden to grow in great strides

With cooler nights and a touch of frost
Fall brings harvest and a bumper of crops
Pumpkins become Jack-O-Lantern faces
And corn fields are turned into unusual mazes

During winter the garden is asleep
Waiting for the first gentle rain it seeks
Snow lies like a blanket keeping the plants warm
Until the return of spring when they will become reborn

When life fades it must be like a new spring
Waking in Heaven where all the Angels sing
Happily tending to God’s garden above
Surrounded by all of those that you love

Tears fall in my heart
Rain falls on the town;
what is this numb hurt
that enters my heart?

Ah, the soft sound of rain
on roofs, on the ground!
To a dulled heart they came,
ah, the song of the rain!

Tears without reason
in the disheartened heart.
What? no trace of treason?
This grief's without reason.

It's far the worst pain
to never know why
without love or disdain
my heart has such pain!

Come; join me, for our journey has been long
For our search is over, no more milling throng
Rest your weary body in my strong arms
Let me caress your thoughts and sense your charms

Come, once more, let me hold you tight
Embrace loving feeling; we know for us is right
Do you not sense that emotional shivered tingle?
With entwined bodies forever our passion to mingle

For us, we would walk the lonely path no more
Can we enter paradise together and shut the door
Would we grasp the chance that came our way?
For loneliness can dream sanctuary on another day

No love was ever taken that did not risk all
But oh! How it makes you feel so very tall
In arms together we can journey as one
Breaking our bread, not to scatter a crumb

Life came once more to a beating heart
The dark curtain was raised and drawn apart
The choir of emotions would renew our song
Don’t stay apart for love cannot be wrong

Then take this moment and savour the joy
Taste the rosebuds that embrace would employ
I ask of thee in my arms you would belong
Come; join me, for our journey has been long

When the heart migrates, no one can know, nor can one appreciate, a place it will go. As pain and anger, consume that poor soul. Broken hearts-one endangered, is what "someone" stole. Striped of its standard; the heart-lost love. A broke-heart is hard; it's like a dead dove. A dove any day, is beauty in the sky. Broken-heart, the other way, make you wanna die! A life-time of pain, is hard to bear. Dead-love makes for insane; no more: love-you dear! Stripped of its light, where do broken hearts go? This an un-manned flight, hence no one knows.

My woman is a wild flower
She fills my garden with grace
Lures me with her sweet fragrance
With such a brilliant radiant face
I love her long tender blossoms
On a strong leggy stem her base
Her face is made of soft petals
Her curling hair fringed lace
She is beauty from a distance
she catches my eye in every place
Up close she captures my heart
When she falls into my embrace

Do not write a poem,
when silent speak in silence.

Do not feed the demons,
biscuits and watermelons.

Do not say to sitting ducks,
that they're fierce dragons.

Do not give lame excuses,
to play with trolls and maidens.

Do not kiss and tell,
Venus you want more.

Do not speak in riddles,
when fools are in the middle.

Do not break q promise,
to bring joy and smiles to all.

Do not leave without q comment,
or I'll call mum to shoot you!

don t trust people who smile always
that foot t don the the everything low looking oh! maggot take
even time some thee, I But crossed not remember time, of
insignificance, talk came nodes." I me at the edge of consciousness flits A
feeling that somewhere there's something I've missed The malt-o-meal of
His existence, wondering. wooly boogers on our damp pajamas and yet
the sun shineth down for all eternity Digit, digits, digital,
digitalis, a mention, but that's really not that bad.

Your future hangs
on a seamless lines of hopes
to make up for the torrid
love affair of morning and night
of a dream that seems to dwell
on all your sorrows
on a life you wish you had
up until now.


Your child that has yet to be born
on a future of uncertainties
you built your strength
on their hopes that their years
will count for generations
unlike you..
it has to end right here
among the shadows of
torment and hopelessness
in a foreign land
where you haven't even have a clue
on how they spell, write and say
"i love you".


But you knew, as you were
facing the front lines
of whose sides you would stand on
their truth or yours, like
it makes a difference
knowing it will be right...
this war that divides
whose supposed to have
the truth of who's wrong and who
is more deserving to be right,
but...


Did you know?
those whose lives, ransomed
for freedom to make you a hero?
felt the same sentiments and hopes?
the same aspirations and ambitions?
same pains and sorrows
and like all of us,
they, too, have a heart,
have a soul that is pierced
by the bullet of hatred
we sustained in believing
that their death is our
prize for freedom.


Is it?
