Love stands far high above us
As if looking out for us
Love is in itself holy and pure
And humbly it charms us forever
When we break love it still lingers
It is the god of second chances
There is no condemnation from love
When we are down it lifts us up
Love holds the world together
Delighting in bringing us closer
It is the keeper of hope
It inspired Eros
Through a thousand years love remains
Without losing its zeal or fervor
It will take your hand at your point of departure
And travel with you if you want forever
Love lives for every single one of us
We are all beauties in love’s eyes
In touching us love changes the world
In accepting love our world is changed
Love gives peace to our souls
Love instructs our actions
Through it broken souls are redeemed
Through it we cherish in giving
Love has put a thousand smiles on our faces
Bringing us warmth and laughter
And when we have lost it
Troubled we seek to regain it
Love is the god of Life
If taken away from us
Our world would be weary and cold
And everything would lose its meaning
Hail to this love

I Give You Phat
Step up to receive him
Cool and calm claims he
So come playing classical
Or come playing Neo-soul
Pavarotti in the background
John Legend out loud
Step up to receive him
Cool and smart claims he
So bring Kant's categorical imperative
Ditto Baruch Spinoza's thesis
A bit of Swinburne's poetry
And ready to discuss Shakespeare’s classics
Step up to receive him
He is all he claims but also human
He enjoys Cadbury's chocolate
And or Coke if not Pepsi
He loves to cook so allow him
And he enjoys doing dishes so don’t stop him
Step up to receive him
Real to himself claims he
Buzan taught him the mind-map trick
De-bono teaches him how to think
Mc-Graw is his favourite shrink
And Blink is his favourite read
Step up to receive him
He write poems so read him
Talk about books and hell love you
Read his blog and he’ll acknowledge you
And he’s a thinker let him muse
Later he will tell you what’s in his mind
Step up to receive him
There is none like him claims he
He enjoys witty talk so indulge him
He has a staccato laugh so tickle him
He listens well so talk to him
And he's willing so try him
Step up to receive him
Step up with confidence
Let your heels lift you
As you come to sweep him off his feet
He’s ready are you ready?
Then step out and claim him.

Cross-roads
You traveled east
And he traveled west
The hope of you being
Had come to an end
None of you looked over the shoulder
For pain if your eyes met
It was indeed over
And evenly tears you wept
After countless hours and days
Of persuading your heart to let go
You finally managed to bury your pain
And you were ready to shut that door
But they say earth is an orb
And a small orb it turned out
For when again your paths crossed
Your bodies proved shallow to hide the buried emotions
Now old emotions are floating on the surface
Rocking you about like a boat in a raging storm
Its like you never moved, you’re rooted on the selfsame place
But you mind shifts in a Billion ways
Choice shows you different paths like a compass
Confusing both your heart and your mind
One is saying don’t go back but the other can’t resist the pull
Watching we wish we’d help but that’s our nagging dilemma too.

Ransoming Death
You couldn’t wait another moment
You couldn’t depart without him
So in your shadowy stealth
You extinguished his flame
And there was nothing but darkness
You had made your presence felt
When he breathed his last breath
Job done you went back to hide in Hades
You just robbed me of a friend
Robbed a son his dad
Robbed wife a husband
Siblings sibling all in one whisk
Oh cowardly dark death
Living in shadows in your deep dens
What price would you ask to ransom a life?
Name it so I’ll pay you off soyou'll keep off my friends’ lives
Say the amount and I’ll buy a gun and go robbing banks
And get you all the cash you want
If its jewels you’ll ask
I’ll get you every carat of gold and diamond there is in the world
Take NOT none of my dear ones I can’t endure the loss
Rather take me in their place
For even if you wreck my frame you’ll never douse my flame
My light will stay alive even through the wind and the rain
You couldn’t depart without him
So in your shadowy stealth
You extinguished his flame
And there was nothing but darkness
You had made your presence felt
When he breathed his last breath
Job done you went back to hide in Hades

love bubbles
Love was once holding hands
Looking shyly into your eyes
That was love when I was young
Love became a hug
A small note written by hand
See, I was growing up?
Then love blossomed
Beautifully like a flower in summer sun
Its bright petals opening up
And then love song meant a lot
So I cut out lyrics of your favourite songs
And wrote you letters adapted from them
How fast I was growing up
I was ready for a kiss
& though she kept me waiting long, - ‘twas worth it
Now love was walking holding hands
So they stared at us but we couldn’t blink
We were in love and we didn’t give a (expletive deleted)!
Love has its cycles you see
With each cycle it brought out a bolder me
And if love blinds, my blindness was terminal
Love became going out
So off we went to Taco Bell
Then traveled all the way home holding hands
I was no longer young I wanted responsibility
So in the evenings I brought you Pizza and sprite to your hostel
You gave me a kiss for my troubles and I felt like King!
Then love waned and I was bored
So I took a break and went to write my poems
I had fun on my own until love came calling
So when I answered I came diving in deep
We went to coffee at The Mug and did movies at 20th
Then of you went and we text’d all the way home
Now when we held hands it was no longer awkward
No one stared at us funny
But if they did, it’s cos they were envious!
Love became sharing and talking
So we talked and talked till our batteries died
And when we met to talk hours flew away fast
Now shaped by all that
Love I guess means much more
Love is bold, its patient and its witty and funny
Love has hid its face from me momentarily
Which is okay but soon it’ll come knocking
And I will have another poem to write just like this one

Friends Forever
Will we be friends forever?
Will nothing ever separate us?
Look me in the eyes and tell me that
That the ravages of time will take nothing from us
Tell me we’ll be friends forever
Tell me tomorrow belongs to us
Say it to me without a trace of doubt
And with you I will set my feet forward
Tell me we’ll remain close
Wherever we’ll be in the world
Tell me that, tell me you know it
That you and I will always be friends
Cos’ only you and I
See the world with the same eyes
Feel feelings as with one heart
And think as with the same mind
See how our lives align
That these thoughts are as yours I have
That our feelings are mixed into one
Like a river flowing in one direction
Speak but do not swear nor vow
Just breathe out the affirmative word
And eternally I’ll hold
Our friendship so dearly close
Will nothing ever separate us?
Look me in the eyes and tell me that
That the ravages of time will take nothing from us
Tell me we’ll be friends forever
Tell me tomorrow belongs to us
Say it to me without a trace of doubt
And with you I will set my feet forward

Speak but do not swear nor vow
Just breathe out the affirmative word
And eternally I’ll hold
Our friendship so dearly close
The Walk Call
Let’s go for a walk my friend
Let’s go out and clear our heads
Away from these tarmac roads and concrete walls
To gravel paths where the trees grow tall
Side by side walk with me
To green fields with nesting birds
There let’s be as one with nature mixed
Filling our lungs with the freshest of air
While there lets free our senses to explore
Lets touch and feel, lets smell and taste
And watch as birds in flight or listen to their songs
Let’s take our time and be in no haste
Let’s go for a picnic and under a shade sit
Or go on a nature trail deep into the woods
Stand by the waterfalls and enjoy the blowing breeze
Or just lie on a patch of green grass and watch as clouds move
Let’s take this walk tomorrow
Pick any day and well just go
Well have fun I know
Tell me when you’re ready and well go.

My Disdained Poem (the poem you love to hate)
I cannot love you
My love tank is empty
I’ve called love rescue
To take me to a service bay
And probably I’ll be on the love road again
I cannot love you
I have leased out my love for years
A bad lease contract it has no exit clause
I truly do love you
But without my heart of what good am I to you
I cannot love you
For my love is badly overdrawn
I spent my love lavishly on another
Now my love account is in debit
A love cheque of all my love would surely bounce
I cannot love you
I cannot hurt again I can’t bear it
I’ve barricaded my heart
And until I’m off to my feet again
I’m keeping out of loves path
But when I do make a comeback
Wearing double socks in white sneakers
All filled up ready for new sign-up
My heart seeking out one with whom to unite
I will come straight to you
And i will forever adore you.

When It's Finally Over
When this is finally over my friend
And it’s going to over sooner than you think
We’ll go out and celebrate
We’ll put things in one corner and let the party begin
Together we’ll do this
Together because you’re my best friend
And best friends you taught me
Stick together to the end
We’ll cork open your favourite bottle of wine
Lift our glasses up and make a toast
``To victorious life’’, maybe you’ll say
``To the new star’’, maybe I’ll quip
I will play you your favourite songs
And I’ll make you stand up and dance
I’ll watch the magic in your eye
As we joke and laugh out loud
It’ll be a day of victory
And the world will see a new you
They’ll all want to hear your story
But when you tell them, ``not now’’ they’ll wait
You’ll have done it I’ll be so proud
Cos I’ve known your journey, I’ve seen your courage
Nothing will ever stop you you’ll rule the world
They’ll all love you, you’ll notice the change
When it’s really finally over
When we hit town to celebrate
Some will wonder who you are
And I’ll tell them to go home and watch the news
The party will run for days
We’ll do it like we’ve never done it before
In just a while longer my friend
It’s going to be all done and over
I believe that my friend
And I believe in you
I’m on those plans right now
I’m eagerly waiting, just like you.

Not So Long Ago
Not so long ago
In days gone by
Holding your souls aloft
Standing side by side
Far from worlds chaos
Free from worlds cares
Hands firmly clasped together
You stood as one
In cold frosty times
You boldly ventured out
Your confidence rising high
Higher that the high Alp
You relished your chances
Against this lame world
You laid out your plans
Eager to journey forth
Not so long ago
You stood your ground
Strong as a pillar
Nothing would shake you
You brimmed with confidence
Ready to start out
Like blasting launching rocke
Nothing could stop you
And with happy smiles
Hearts in deep delight
Swimming in sheer joy
Everything spelling one promise
We stood and beheld
The two of you
Meeting forming one identity
And we too shared in your joy
You had set us the pace.

Memories
Oh these precious memories
Well kept, well guarded
Away from times decay
Well shielded and well attended
Taken n total completeness
Treasured like jewel that’s timeless
I’ve build a firewall around them
To keep them safely protected
From them nothing could be taken or added
For in adding or taking I’d dismember what is perfect
The sum of it is bigger than its part
If I let a fragment from it fall, I’d hold myself in contempt
When I’m not looking out side I look inside
And let the memories play frame by frame
And watch and behold as beauty is redefined
When these precious memories comes flowing.

Hate To Lose
I had you
I still have you maybe
I do think of you
And I’m sure you think of me
I still love you
And you still love ma maybe
I dream of you
And I know you and I could be
I do miss you
You miss me too just agree!
I wonder too
It’s over and done between you and me
Oh how I hate to lose
And you do too that makes us two
I don’t want to lose you
Haven’t you ever said that too?
Hey, both of us could win
C’mon lets be real
It’s not easy but it’s that simple
I still have you maybe
I do think of you
And I’m sure you think of me
I still love you
And you still love ma maybe
I dream of you
And I know you and I could be

Katie Kim' Kim' (a poem from the 12 women of phat)
You tell me you are the brighter one
And I claim to be the smarter one
Its ok, I know I’m a shade darker
So, fair; I agree you are indeed brighter
See how you’ve taught my mind wit?
How in just a single sitting you so much impressed me?
Could two minds by such a motley whirl of chance meet?
And so closely soon find their lives so closely knit
You impress me so much my friend
And friends from 1st to last I hope we remain
For if you could teach my mind wit in such a short stint
Could my mind conceive the things you’d teach it if we so remain?
If I could take an hour and with it my rest of my life build
I’d take one spent with you and my life thus seed
And each replicated minute I’d forever happily reap
New wonderful moments like ones before spent together
See the lofty leaps my mind makes when my inhibitions lift
Grafting grand thoughts when of you I think?
Were I as impressive with these papers and ink
Our friendship I’d once again with relish here re-live
With spontaneity of a master improv on stage
Owning the stage then your mind so would our story captivate
Bringing every subtle nuance to life for all to read
It’d be beyond a story, beyond a play and beyond poetry
But brevity is the soul of wit
Our mutual friend Shakespeare did teach
And I maintaining to be smarter one still
His words I heed and this poem here trim
But one last thing my friend I ask
You being the brighter one!
And I like a planting in the dark bending towards your light
That you always keep your light shining on our friendship
english:
meaning of the word improv ( underlined above)
Improv.... consists of developing scenes spontaneously.
It requires quick thinking and a tremendous amount of teamwork among those performing the scenes
I Googled it for you so that u don't have to!!! Don't u like me????

NEW BORDERS
The air smells different
The wind blows lazily
The streets are unfamiliar
No one smiles easily
I’ve journeyed long to be here
Leaping to meet the future
My shadow is my best pal
With me even on the moonlight
The nights are long and lonesome
So I hug tightly on my pillow
Wake up to a pen and paper
And try and mark my new borders
Will these streets love me?
Will these new faces smile at me?
Or will they say I’m too different?
And shut their doors to my face
I’m here with a plain canvas
What they show me I’ll colour
And once I get a clear picture
I’ll know if I’ll stay or pack up.

KEEP MOVING
Straight ahead I march
Holding it together like a leader of a marching band
Moving forward
Subduing thoughts of what I’ve left behind
Its time for myself
So I must push back the doubts that plague my mind
Think not of the bridges that have fallen
But think of the new ones I’ll put up as I move forward
I can’t look back
The rift has widened like a gulf where bridges were
But while the clock is still ticking
While I’m still alive and breathing
And my blood hot in my veins flowin
I must keep moving
Keep moving like a leader of a drive parade
Holding it together like a leader of a marching band
Moving forward
Subduing thoughts of what I’ve left behind
Its time for myself
So I must push back the doubts that plague my mind
Think not of the bridges that have fallen
But think of the new ones I’ll put up as I move forward

The rift has widened like a gulf where bridges were
But while the clock is still ticking
While I’m still alive and breathing
And my blood hot in my veins flowin

Keep moving like a leader of a drive parade
Going To Meet Her
When I’m ready for her
Will be she be ready for me?
Now that I plan to go to her
Does she feel any longing for me?
I am packed ready for the journey
Ready to go and speak from my heart
I’ll not bore her with a memorized story
Stories a thousand and one she must have heard
I’m not the first she must have captivated
With the pull of her big heart that’s equal to none
But freely I go to her requiring not to be persuaded
Hoping that her yet unspoken promise will be uttered to me
When the words will be spoken I will be ready and near
Lifting each syllable like a precious piece of a jigsaw puzzle
Then I’ll know what’s in her heart
And I will speak and what’s taking me to her she’ll know
It might be tomorrow or the day after
Maybe a month from now or maybe at New Year
Confidently I’ll go to her with a list in my mind
I will lay my ask and hopefully it’ll be met with a smile.
Will be she be ready for me?
Now that I plan to go to her
Does she feel any longing for me?
I am packed ready for the journey
Ready to go and speak from my heart

It might be tomorrow or the day after
Maybe a month from now or maybe at New Year
Confidently I’ll go to her with a list in my mind
I will lay my ask and hopefully it’ll be met with a smile.
Two Lifetimes once
When it hurts me
It also hurts you
cos part of me
Truly belongs to you
My heart beats in me
But I’m alive in you
When it hurts you
It KILLS me
Cos part of you
Belongs to me
Your soul enjoined with mine
And mine too with thine
I do not know
How we got so entwined
But I do know
Being so we life twice once
And living so
We live a fuller life
Living tw lifetimes once.
It also hurts you
cos part of me
Truly belongs to you
My heart beats in me
But I’m alive in you
When it hurts you
It KILLS me
Cos part of you
Belongs to me
Your soul enjoined with mine
And mine too with thine
I do not know
How we got so entwined
But I do know
Being so we life twice once
And living so
We live a fuller life
Living tw lifetimes once.
Comfort I do not seek
Oh warm clasping hands of comfort
Holding me clos under your wings
Shielding me from elements I’d readily confront
Free me from your grasp and let me be
Haven’t I fought and won my battles before
Albeit with the discomfort of having my knuckles bruised
Then, I needed you not and neither do I now
Flee from me you cannot contain my stirred spirit
What could you do for me that I couldn’t do for myself?
Except turn me into a slob for a few hours of thy comfort
I scoff at your comfort; I’ll not fall for your wiles
Haven’t you checked, are you blind, cant you see I write my own script!
I seek not thy comfort
Let me eat the coals in the end I’ll make diamonds
Let the harsh elements rub against me
And smoothen up my rough edges
And when it’s all done
I’ll create my own comfort
Farthest from your hands
But now, away! Thy comfort I do not need
Holding me clos under your wings
Shielding me from elements I’d readily confront
Free me from your grasp and let me be
Haven’t I fought and won my battles before
Albeit with the discomfort of having my knuckles bruised
Then, I needed you not and neither do I now
Flee from me you cannot contain my stirred spirit
What could you do for me that I couldn’t do for myself?
Except turn me into a slob for a few hours of thy comfort
I scoff at your comfort; I’ll not fall for your wiles
Haven’t you checked, are you blind, cant you see I write my own script!
I seek not thy comfort
Let me eat the coals in the end I’ll make diamonds
Let the harsh elements rub against me
And smoothen up my rough edges
And when it’s all done
I’ll create my own comfort
Farthest from your hands
But now, away! Thy comfort I do not need
FORGET YESTERDAY
Forget yesterday
Forget the scars and the injuries
It’s a new day
A new light shines Brightly
The pain goes away here
You shall know no more tears
Give me all your fear
And no more pain shall you bear
I’m right here with you
I’m never going away
When you turn left I’ll turn with you
Be with you every step of the way
Forget yesterday
Here let’s begin anew
Let’s open a fresh page
And let’s colour something new
We’ll create new memories
And have fun while at it
We’ll share a new story each day
Every day we’ll be turning a page
Forget yesterday
Think only from this day
Here let’s begin
Life freshly renewed.

. BOLD TO LOVE
I will be bold for once
Bold enough to claim this heart
I will take this heart of yours
Boldly, as boldly as you’ve chosen only me to have it
To me it matters not that it’s not perfect
It matters that it’s the nearest perfect that I’ve come across
And truly the preciousest
That I almost consider myself unworthy to have it
I’ll take your heart, I’ll receive it with love
Most joyfully I’ll take your heart
Most proudly, all of it, and love it with my all
All my doubts are emptied by the charm of your heart
Oh this gentle heart
Most gentle of all gentlemen’s hearts I’ve met
Had it to be broken, had it to be hurt?
The mere thought drives me crazy it hurts
I will be gentle with it I vow
Not by empty vows countless men have spoken and broken
But I vow by love
Love which breaks all boundaries all men have erected
Around your heart is where I want to be forever
And the paths around it to discover
How wise of you to bind love with adventure
Precious and wise, Why hadn’t our path meet sooner
I’ll take this heart of yours
Cos you’ve believed in me
I’ll hold it with a smile
And as with yours with mine too the same I ask
That you too take my heart
Bold enough to claim this heart
I will take this heart of yours
Boldly, as boldly as you’ve chosen only me to have it
To me it matters not that it’s not perfect
It matters that it’s the nearest perfect that I’ve come across
And truly the preciousest
That I almost consider myself unworthy to have it
I’ll take your heart, I’ll receive it with love
Most joyfully I’ll take your heart
Most proudly, all of it, and love it with my all
All my doubts are emptied by the charm of your heart
Oh this gentle heart
Most gentle of all gentlemen’s hearts I’ve met
Had it to be broken, had it to be hurt?
The mere thought drives me crazy it hurts
I will be gentle with it I vow
Not by empty vows countless men have spoken and broken
But I vow by love
Love which breaks all boundaries all men have erected
Around your heart is where I want to be forever
And the paths around it to discover
How wise of you to bind love with adventure
Precious and wise, Why hadn’t our path meet sooner
I’ll take this heart of yours
Cos you’ve believed in me
I’ll hold it with a smile
And as with yours with mine too the same I ask
That you too take my heart
JOJO (JOYCE MUSIYA)
Young yet so wise
Humble yet so smart
I came to you for advice
But you give me more than that
See how you led me to light
Each word pointing me to a direction like a map
See how you help me conjure up hope
And how now I stand tall because you’ve mentored me well
Yesterday I remember began with a smile
Now it seems a long way back
And it is, we’ve come from so far
Tomorrow, just like today we’ll stand proud
For our friendship stands on solid ground
Firm and steady like an anchored in ship
God bless you for mentoring me well
And for being such a wonderful friend
Humble yet so smart
I came to you for advice
But you give me more than that
See how you led me to light
Each word pointing me to a direction like a map

TAKE THIS HEART OF MINE
Of my heart part 2
(adapted from,``Take this heart of mine''.
Take this heart of mine
And take care of it
This heart is all that’s mine
I want only you to have it
It’s not perfect I know
But it’s the nearest perfect you’ll ever come acros
The preciousest you’ll ever hold
If you doubt that then I doubt this heart I should let you hold
Take my heart, take it all
I’m not holding anything back
To love I will with all I’ve got
Even through the hurts I’ll emerge again to love
Be most gentle with this heart
You see the lines, it’s been broken before
Torn apart and the blood let to run
Of course it hurt like mad so again I ask be gentle
Now that it’s mended, healed again and whole
Filled to the brim with love & refueled with hope
This precious heart of mine opens out to you
To hold you close in the warmest embrace
Spend time with it, draw closer
Don’t be far from it, be near and of it discover
Test it, try it; but love always it
With the warmest of hugs always embrace it
Take this heart of mine
Cos’ I’ve believed in you
With a smile take it and keep it well loved
It’s all I ask of you, it’s the much I’ll ever ask
Under Your Shadow.
Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine
Sometimes the moon goes away to hide
Sometimes the star are hid behind the cloud
Sometimes I wonder if I’m strong enough
These times I search for new light
These times I’m dying to hear the right words
These times your encouragement is my only hope
These times I look for one to hinge my trust on
Finding rest under your shadow
Safety and protection under your shadow
Renewed and strengthened under your shadow
And my confidence is restored under your shad
So through the gloomiest of days
Through the darkest, moonless and starless nights
Through the coldest longest days
I find warmth that restores my being
Sometimes the moon goes away to hide
Sometimes the star are hid behind the cloud
Sometimes I wonder if I’m strong enough
These times I search for new light
These times I’m dying to hear the right words
These times your encouragement is my only hope
These times I look for one to hinge my trust on
Finding rest under your shadow
Safety and protection under your shadow
Renewed and strengthened under your shadow
And my confidence is restored under your shad
So through the gloomiest of days
Through the darkest, moonless and starless nights
Through the coldest longest days
I find warmth that restores my being

Under construction. (blog)

| Hello guys, You'll notice the photos I had loaded are out, my apologies. There are some changes i need to make. Some are formats i need to get from Google blog that hosts this blog. Meanwhile it will remain as is until I get it right though its a question of spending a lot more time using the net which I've not been able to do for some time. Will be back soon. And, I'd really appreciate your input on it, if you've got ideas on making this blog more friendlier, hola at me, I'll handover the password to you so you can log in and make those changes. Its relatively easy to use really. Want to try, holler at me now. See you then. Thanks. |

From the 12 women of Phat...
1.
There is God
And there is a goddess
One here on earth
The other up in heaven
Both do love me in excess
One defies description
(Or nowadays you can describe God?)
And the other is simply my Mom!
If I did turn out great
I couldn't have hadn't she raised me well
I'm grateful to her in so many ways
Yet I couldn't thank her enough
So God bless my mum.

Of my heart
My heart is out there somewhere
Hidden and parted out of sight
Where the glow of the moon rule the night
And a billion stars light its path
Free and unbound, in fields of endless expanse
That's where my heart is at
Washed, clothed and cuddled in such tenderness
That it could experience no harm
It shall not hurt again this heart of mine
With beautiful words it shall not be enticed
Nor ensnared with beautiful smiles
With another it shall take no chance
Free to enjoy its boundless freedom
Free to move as the four winds
Free without any inhibitions
Freely it's enjoying its peace
To whose call shall it heed if it ever does?
And to whom shall it appear first?
When it leaves it's refuge and its comforts
Who will receive it with an open heart?

Do for love
She has completely taken over
And I have yielded to her charm
She says the words and I roll over
I would do anything for her
If she said, kill that-one
I would readily kill for her
Or if she did kill one
I'd bury the body for her
If you ask me, for what?
I answer you, For love!
Doesn't love conquer all?
And her love has got me in awe
She has loved me so much
What I'd do for her wouldn't be enough
Now my friends look for me but I'm not there
I've neglected them all to be with her
Friends, understand for I speak from my heart
Understand that I cant see you no more
Beyond the reach of her shadow I cant go no farther
I couldn't walk away from this love
If she ever started a fight
I'd be there to finish it for her
She has me feeding from off her palm
And I've completely surrendered to her.
Disclaimer:1. Against killing; Thy shall not kill,

2. Hyperbole!

The Eclipse
(Written in the dark hours of 2009)
Is this really me
Whom I am now but yesterday i was not?
Can I still be me
While I've been stripped of all i ever was?
I'm no longer myself
Whats left of me is nothing but a shell
Broken and emptied
Even my words are hollow and meaningless
My life is about finding answers
But now to all that matters I find none
All seems blurred I cant tell wrong from right
My mind is blunted and my spirit is numb
I once was but I'm no longer
The transition was slow but it sure happened
The rain poured fast and harder
And like a bleach it washed away all my colours
But earth is not spoiled by a single shower
The old sage Swinburne observed
Though the rain has fallen and ruined all the ripe corn
From the same ground the fallen seeds will eventually sprout!

Coffee Call
Take me out for coffee my dear
Take me out and make my year
Not to Java or Coffee House there I've been
Rather take me to a place I've never been
And there let's be like we've never been
Just sit and allow our senses to speak
Savouring the steaming coffee in our mouths
Deeply lost in our own world
Take me out today or tomorrow
Say the words and I'll follow
If you will, Let us have this cup
Set before us for our time is now
Tell me the time and the place
And eagerly I'll count the hours to the day
Home coffee would be nice as well
I'm waiting dear, What do you say?
....White, and three sugars please!

Billboard Of Hope
Your beautiful smile
Warm, priceless and sweet
Add the sparkle of your eyes
And its just how a smile should be
That's your smile my friend
It's like a well told story
Fresh from the beginning to the end
Always winning the hearts of many
Smile for me my friend once again
Smile for my hearts delight
And quicker than one with canvas &paint
I will immortalize your smile
I will capture it and frame it in my mind
And set it high above like a billboard
From wherever I'll be I'll see it and smile back
Inspired, I'll leave the sidewalk and into the road
Your smile teaches me hope
And what a teacher to instruct my mind
Smile so beautiful and full of soul
What a precious gift you freely gift the world
Now teach my heart to smile
And you'll see my face too happily oblige
Brighten the world with your smile
And make light all our hearts.
p.s With gratitude to Jojo
whose first smile I still remember
And whose friendship I treasure.

A Note To My Friend
..To My Friend who I Miss So much
My dear friend how do I even begin
Should I let my mind or my heart speak?
Oh if I could call them both to meeting
And qualify one which would better tell my feelings
Time and space has conspired to separate us
Knocking down the bridge that linked us
But sitting upon the banks I write you this letter
Lifting it up like a banner so you could see it from afar
Though we be parted for months and days
Love protected and kept safe remains
Our friendship is love in a different shape
And love does outlive even the longest of days
Some day, some hour, speedily and soon
We'll hold hands like we used to do
And talk & laugh like only I & you could do
Sharing chocolate & sipping Pepsi like we used to do
Then, Nothing well ever come between us
Not the length of days nor the breadth of nights
Nor space nor distance
For our cloven paths will have been woven back into one.
