A Dialogue At Fiesole
HE.
Halt here awhile. That mossy-cushioned seat
Is for your queenliness a natural throne;
As I am fitly couched on this low sward,
Here at your feet.
SHE.
And I, in thought, at yours:
My adoration, deepest.
HE.
Deep, so deep,
I have no thought wherewith to fathom it;
Or, shall I say, no flight of song so high,
To reach the Heaven whence you look down on me,
My star, my far-off star!
SHE.
If far, yet fixed:
No shifting planet leaving you to seek

Waiting
When darkness peeps gradually
The orphan boy met a little red riding hood.
She goes to her grandma's house
When she asked where he's going
He said; 'Nowhere to go.'
'First I go there and get permission from my grandma,
If she agrees to provide you lodging tonight,
I'll be hurry to you and please wait here.' She said.
But she never returned.
It happened a very long time ago
And she must be a grandma now.

I am blind
I am as blind as anybody else
Always free without being tense
Nature has gifted me patience
I go slow and praise hence
People may be right when they compare even
My beauty with rose of beautiful garden
I feel shy and run away from the scene
It creates self prophesy and clearly seen
I may be unrestible and ordinarily figured
The beauty is for all human being assured
Some may be very good and outwardly shining
Others may be finding hard for defining
Female is as such very beautiful gift of nature
Life can be incomplete and so the future
She has all the reserves for making life beautiful
Normal tendency to remain calm and faithful

Joy Comes In The Morning
JOY COMES IN THE MORNING
I could not see for the tears
Flowing down my face
As I thought of His unfailing love
What amazing grace.
I wept for Him but a moment
And then my tears were dry
For joy came in the morning
When my Saviour heard my cry.
Joy came in the morning
When the Saviour heard my cry
Weeping endureth but for a moment
Now I live with Him inside.
I'll tell the world this is not secret
But let this truth be known
Joy comes in the morning
With Jesus on the throne.

Unwitting
I would run away
except I have no place to run
except to you.
I would fade to dim
except
your light
keeps me in view.
My eyes cast down
certain days
but you have
mirrors
on my ground
and they my eyes
re-direct.
I take a match
to flame my aching soul
and your ocean pond

The sisters of mercy
I have known some sisters of mercy
and when my life fell to pieces
they were there
and gave warmth, care
and some consideration
at a small price.
When my life was bare
and the one that I loved
had moved on
to another,
the sisters of mercy
had compassion
and installed faith
that I would overcome.

Asking more
Whole body is asking more,
Never had it happened this before?
No lament and feel so sore,
May have some reasons therefore,
It is generating more heat,
Whole body demand something,
Nothing is in scarce but still seeks,
Feeling inside feeble and weak,
May be it has not fully rained,
Not poured with strength and drained,
In time of need always abstained,
Leaving behind worry and pain,
Not a slight or slow rain drops will do,
I am wanting then is also true,
But why it is so desperate? Have no clue,
Eyes up in sky to see could blue,

Off The Street
There’s not
a lot of room
for words
anymore.
Everything
today is audio
and visual
and audio-visual.
High-tech movies and graphics
and computer packaged fantasy.
There’s not
a lot of room
for words
unadorned anymore.
But words
still have clout

Your Own Fate
What if you did all that you wanted;
If your hopes and dreams were flaunted,
For all the world to see and applaud! ?
Why not give yourself, instead of others, the nod-
To live your own life, unaffected by others' views! ?
Why not allow your life to be what you would choose,
Without regard for what the uninformed opine! ?
Why not live your life as I live mine:
For, by, and of myself-without prejudice,
Bias, or hate-my heart is for all, commodious.
My dreams are mine for a reason:
I do not seek and find, then alter like a season,
Because others need to assert their ignorance,
All the while under the guise of guidance
And protection-as if you could not possibly know
What is best for you-like this interference could possibly show
The altruism that they so ardently profess!
This decision, made under the throngs of duress,
Is not what is best for you, it is what is easiest for them.
Only when both your and their wants are ibidem,
