Defiance
It is not a pure coincidence
That with depraved indifference
Methodically you tried to destroy me
Now, as clearly you can see,
In your unfairly and dirty game you've failed
And my integrity and pride prevailed
As a matter of fact,
I remained totally intact...
Of that tragedy, I came out strong
Joyfully singing a new and better song...
Thanks the Lord!

A Taste of Deception
Exploration by the lead of deception,
A grip of fraudulent rope,
Confusion and misdirection...
A harness to a fake chariot of hope,
Reversed acceleration,
A practical joke?
If it ceases to be yours
When you cease to be yourself,
Then, what is yours
And who are you
To tell me where to go
Or where I can sleep
Or what I must own?
Sorry, my dear friend
But try the next one.

And...still...i Love You...!
I did not expect to hear
A voice within the door
It seemed the place was empty
As off I have found before...
Had I known that keeping shut
A barrier between
Chasing off relationships
Myself be quieter seen...
I had no choice but to come
Return though things are changed
Cemented are my feelings
Not rudely rearranged.....
When I am still
Thinking about you...

And I Return Again
And...I return again
To the house that brought me so much joy,
Everything seems untouched
Same pictures hanging in the walls,
Even the familiar burning incense
That used to welcome me to your house
While listening to the same old love songs
Which we once danced to so passionately!
For my surprise,
I see nothing different
Except a shadow
Without the woman...

Feeling Small Sometimes
When home is no longer there
And there's no place
To spend the holidays,
Except where you are
And you are totally alone-
Choking, realizing
Your unripe independence
And needing the security
And warmth
Of a real family...
But cannot reach to your own
And everyone's away with theirs
You are small
Very, very small
Until you disappear
Like things forgotten...

If You Were The Breeze!
I see the light approaching,
The earth is rumbling
And the wind is too strong...
I know,
Your momentum is great,
My question left no traction
For equivocation...
Be swift,
If you must blow me away,
Remove me completely
From the ground's attachment...
But, if your breath is sweet,
Kiss me a thousand times
And I will raise a flag to honor
The breeze...

One Way Street
In my car, in the snow,
Having no particular place to go,
I dream contentedly
And realize how few
Obligations cannot be construed
As to be avoided...
This capability
Of removing all stability,
Keeping no attachments
Is a prerequisite
To entering the holy kingdom,
No mingling persists
Tormenting the free-will
Of world's separate
But parallel,
Apart which we avoid...

Emotions
One moment passes
Emotions so fast
Leaping over the last
And prepares the next
From each consequence
Of experience...
The dual ancestry
Of refreshing memory
Spontaneously
Carving an epitaph
Upon the foreheads
Of seconds passed away...
They lie with the esteem
Of all that was seen
And felt or perceived
At that very moment
Which then vanished
Into timeless space...

A Lost Love
It takes so long to get there
Like madness to be too late...
Fragile, fragile onset,
Captured in the avenue of delay...
Like a paper-cut-by surprise
You make a break and then you bleed
And then you find a band-aid
And wrap it tightly to your wound...
Dare there be a reason
To withdraw one resolution
You can't-the pain is always there
Remaining with no solution...

To The Woman Of My Dream
If there were only one moment
Left of this fragile life to live
I would run to you and hold on
And in your arms dance forever...
Each embrace remains with me so
The the memory suspends
My lifetime in an air of love
That has risen by you alone...
If the pain in my heart you knew
The ache turning me inside out
Like an X ray, penetrating
The walls around me fall for you...
