Look Into My Eyes My True Love My Darling~ 
(Tercet) 


When I see your smile my troubles go ‘way 
take my hand since you already have my heart 
for a long time I've given you all my love  too. 

No other love like yours...

The bright green leaves are turning,
the forests look like burning;
cold weather is returning.

The days are growing shorter,
we're in the third year quarter;
the squirrel becomes a hoarder.

The stags in woods are clashing,
after the does they're dashing,
with raised white tales they're flashing.

The black bears are fat and...

One leaf left on tree
No undue unhappiness
Always in great spree

One leaf left on tree
All by itself in the airiness
Feels never lonely or retiree

One leaf left on tree
It spends itself as it sways
Breathing with utmost glee

Last leaf not the end ever
As its time comes, collapses
New buds...

"The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind."  Khalil Gibran

Mr. Moore taught us English lit
but more important than that,
he taught us how to use our...

An angel wrote with a golden pen in the marble book of fate.
The ink she used were the tears of men; 
The words she wrote:  Too late!

This year is winding down so fast-
      seems yesterday was spring;
            so many days have quickly passed.

            Now...

       Strolling softly, in September rains,
       beneath a bright, plaid umbrella.
       A tender couple strolled in joyous love,
       he indeed, her...

Back when we would walk in the spring-green wood
Holding hands, hearts joined only as lovers can
Thoughts circle round those days in the deep wildwood

Now aged, bent way past young adulthood
Young love comes in glimpses in this lifespan 
Longing for Jesus' relief of my orphanhood...

Walk alone if there is no honor 
See the world how beautiful it is
Earn the power of life to review 

Depending carries the lame failure
Self-learning figures respect inner
So, walk alone if no one with you

Colors now shimmer in golden, backlit mist
where blue hydrangeas and red roses coexist
Purples and oranges adore a fresh morning.

Flighty trouble has, at last, gone away, riled
Since the mellow hour, my sunshine smiled
The green and pink birds are finally soaring!

Naturally, nature must love beauty so much
To...

Where lies the line,
between humility and pride,
when does ambition become greed.

How short is the distance,
from disapproval to wrath,
between admiration and envy.

How easy is it to turn,
infatuation to lust,
indulgence into gluttony.

Will we know when, 
relaxation becomes sloth,
or when a flower becomes just a weed....

Be it no more than just a glass of water, 
A live walking stick played by a kind daughter
To a blind man whose walk is a vague totter.  

Or quality time spent with someone old, 
A blanket’s warm fold in times forlorn, cold, 
In...

Freedom at Mid-Night



Huge crowd of a small town, lighted lamps and fireworks
No electricity, the only battery radio of my town on stage
Airing the first freedom speech of *Nehru sparking thus:

India made a tryst with destiny with many brakes
Now the time has come to redeem our...

Undeclared evil intentions imposed
The dark side of ma·lev·o·lence exposed
Magnified by sheer brutality of acts composed

Aaaaah, evidence one can clearly see'th 
All of humanity is faced with 
Tragedy from hor·ren·dous acts commit

Shockingly dreadful acts caused by 
Misplaced human beings cry
Who are currently living with an anger...

To the wings of our dove, there is rosy parity

Fated to meet when the light meets the dark

Between us there is a bridge of love of solidity



As excited, I reached the bridge with hilarity

Hovering above me were dark clouds, Hark!

My eyes fixed on the other...
