I want you to know
one thing.

You know how this is:
if I look
at the moon, at the branch
at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the ash
or the log,
everything carries me to you.

Well, now,
if you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you .

If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.

As I walked out one evening - W. H Auden

As I walked out one evening,
Walking down Bristol Street,
The crowds upon the pavement
Were fields of harvest wheat.

And down by the brimming river
I heard a lover sing
Under an arch of the railway:
‘Love has no ending.

‘I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street,

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off down a river
Into a sea.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The three were asked
"We have come to fish for the herring
That live in this sea;
We have nets,"
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
They heard laughing and singing
As they rocked in the boat;
And the wind that sped them all night long
Stirred the waves;
The stars were the herring
That lived in the sea.
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish,—

fear

i can literally feel letters, words, sentences fighting their way through and across my mind

searching for an outlet, also searching for emotions to define them

do i dare wake the sleeping demons?

do i dare go deeper than this?

do i dare search for these emotions

when i find them - because eventually i will- and i turn them into words, will you think i am crazy?

Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir,
Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,.
With a cargo of ivory,
And apes and peacocks,
Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (imagery poem)

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe,—
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we,"
Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

A Bride to Be (My first Poem)

I woke up one day
I thought I'm in dream.
All the people were happy.
Nothing felt or looked the same.

The stunning birds were whistling.
Singing and chanting all around.
Giving the best of melody
Up, the skies echoed the sound.

The stars descended from their milky way,
Like the diamonds, towards earth, found a way.
Flowers and roses nicely bloomed.
They sent their scent away.

“What could be the day”? I wondered
Trying to find someone to say.
Why are women so pretty?
And men so gay?

Bare Bear... [For Poets first poems]

There was a bear that bore no hair
So not much of a bear or was he?
After all, he was a bare bear
and so twice the bear
as a bear that's fuzzy

I'm Misunderstood...

Tangerines and apples made school-days
Whatever happened to blue skies?
Muddy waters stir crazy and deep
I just want to know
The teeth that bite are red stained
No matter, if this doesn't rhyme
It's all a scam anyhow...

A kubolor in thoughts

Sometimes i wonder!
If the life we living is what is expected of us,
Sometimes i wonder!
if what is been preached to us,is what is expected of us to follow?
i become so lost in thougth,thinking we've been mis-lead!
If the Holy books conferred unto us,by the Generator f All Diversities (GOD)
has not been tempered with!
Only do i know,we've been fed with Beautiful lies,
Spreading around like a wild fire! aint a dis-believer,
i know the almighty being exist (GOD)
A pure mind does it all!
