Sun
The beautiful
Sun
Has come in
Through
The window.
It says:
Look at me.
I say:
You are too
Bright -
For me
To see!
It says:
I'll blind
You
With my
Dazzling

Ed's Choice
To Dear Poets
Some of your
Poems
Are my
Favourites
Not because
I always
Agree with you.
I also beg to
Disagree…
There is a
Difference
Of opinion.
Yet I honour
Your
Perspective
As there is
So much

Rescue
Did you come
To the rescue
Of the one who
Lost his family
To the floods?
Did you come
To the rescue
Of the father
Who lost his
Daughter to
Cancer?
Did you come
To the rescue
Of the children
Who lost their
Parents to the
Quakes?

Ball
Life plays
Baseball
Handball
Basketball
Ne tball,
Throwball
Volleyball
Football -
With me
And says to me
Haughtily:
If you are
Clever enough,
Dodge me!
I retort back
Snootily:
Hmph!
I'm in no
Mood to play

Us
What is it
In us…
That makes us
Kind towards
Some animals
But cruel towards
Others?
The cats,
The dogs and
The hamsters
Are born
Lucky…
To be
Petted by
Us.
The chickens,
The lambs and
The pigs are

To My Love…
You make me feel Special
Every day of my life
You love me the way
I’ve never been loved before
GOD gave You to Me
to discover what Love is
Being with you I’ve fathomed
the true meaning of Love
Your eyes have magic
and so does your touch…
It melts me down
whenever I feel you
Forever giving and Forgiving
A Heart of Gold
is what you have
Blessed I am to be your wife
Would cherishingly love you

Soap Opera
Do the Devil
And God switch
Roles in becoming
The writer, creator
Director of our roles?
If not,
What pleasure
Does God get
In making us
Enact the roles
Of a Rapist,
Murderer,
Paedophile
In this life's
Soap Opera?
Is HE a sadist
Relishing the agony
Of helpless victims

Remember
When I die
With the
Last poem
On my lips
You can
Kiss me
Goodbye
Closing my
Eyes with your
Finger-tips
And in the years
To come by...
Often on a wintry day
When the mercury
Dips....if you don't
Feel like having tea,
You can open up my
Poesies....and take

Mind and Heart
When I told him
How much I loved him
With all my heart…
He replied to me
Sarcastically…
There's nothing
Called the Heart.
It's all to do with the
Mind.
I felt heart-broken
With his curt reply.
Nevertheless,
Just to test his
Words…
I thorned his mind
With my prickly
Words, to see if his
Heart grieves…

| Love |
Don't beg him
To fall in love
With you…
For, if Almighty God
Cannot love you,
How can a mere
Mortal love you?
If God would have
Loved you…
He would have
Made sure…
Whoever you loved,
Would have loved you
Too…
All your love stories
Would have had
Happy endings…
