The new year comes
Be generous
Be nice
Be forgiving
Be wise
Do something you will be proud of
Give yourself an absolutely gigantic surprise!
Happy New Year mes amigos
may you prosper
May you have the courage to say no
May you have the courage to say yes
May you have the courage
to never ever give up hope for all of us.
2017 here we come
Arms stretched
To embrace
To never let go
Love to thyself
Hope against hope
Will with will
The only thing
humanity knows!
Black holes pull
Sucking souls into dark
Keep searching missing sparks
Inspirations, words, deeds decimate
gloom, death, destruction state
exaggerating errors, sins, mistakes
Keeping hope, wills on a stake
Then, just then, when all is nearly lost
It happens so quickly, so fast
A supernova glowing, letting out light within
Steps are seen leading to redemption
Life’s resumption, in a blink
Powers within let you think
Darkness sink, in self created abyss
Remembering thoughts you missed
amazing lips, hearts, souls kissed
Surrounded by bliss
Thanking stars, from worlds so far
What I be without you!
A kind stranger I met
We kept talking and he said
You know she was beautiful
I only have few regrets
I should have kissed her more
Should have loved her sore
Should have hugged till dusk
Keep smelling her musk
Should have played all nights
Visited far away sites
Should have laughed on her jokes
Gave all till I was broke
Should have smiled when she blushed
Made her calm when she rushed
She was all I had
I just worked instead
Now she is gone I am alone
In this world on my own
Have kids and such
But (with tears in his eyes), he said
I miss her so so much
Then we drank in her memory
He said don’t feel sorry
I am counting my days
In all possible ways
Waiting to meet her again
Body loses and I gain
My freedom to fly
The day I die
We become one again
beautiful tormentor, love of eternity
thousand daggers piercing sanity
evening masses, streets and passes
unnoticed in this deep trance,
can not steal a mole, let alone your soul
certainly unfit for romance
I won’t take tea with you
coffee is another matter, perhaps later,
unable to refuse your charm
association deep harm
will die in a ditch, as an overdosed snitch
and blame squarely lies on you
what should we box
wasted sweets in giant socks
uncountable gold, silver coins
shiny colourless rocks
billions saved from wasting lights
pieces of junk causing unthinkable fights
money spared of expensive hangings
unwanted gifts, lingerie, leggings
turkeys, sprouts all food wasted,
wine, liqueur, those drinks never tasted
having more and more, cleaning entire stores
of those things we’ve bought, unwittingly sought
a day of reckoning what could have been
a generous giving yesterday should have been
humanity matters possessions certainly not
what a wonderful bleary weak afterthought!
Universally applicable to second days of Eid, Diwali, Christmas and all other global retail festivals, so no discrimination in collective criticism…I wish I could act on this thought but I don’t so certainly don’t practice what I preach…
searching for the right heart to pierce
arrow of love travelling billion paces
a dame, a beauty, a princess to kiss
among these crowds, million faces
one to know, one to call beloved
with her always home, in all places
airs and graces, of life undefined
Love, trust and belonging
Can not help you for longing
all or nothing is the equation
win or lose is the situation
no middle ground is known
mercy is never never shown
That last single step was wrong
else was perfect, heart strong
Can’t keep it like this for long
giving life away for a song
if it is love why such rules
you take me for a simpleton, fool
each conversation is an exam
throwing toys out of the pram
You do as you deem fit
all is broken, I admit
Sitting in a cold and wet island
Far away from my motherland
I miss your majestic sight
Barbarians at your foothills
Denying my birthright
They kill and kill with impunity
Removing heads with mere delight
All with the promise of
unknown unproven heaven, those fools
While living in your plain sight
Worse than gruesome evil, demons
Killing innocent people left and right
I hope one day they vanish, earth devours them
I see that day, my eyes still has some light
And I return and kiss your snow
thought passes through
light years of contemplation
ingrained in the fabric of the universe
after billion books were written, read and memorised
all in the name of love of I
it is never you,
if it is, it is never true
day will come and death will knock
the redemption door will stay shut
until I is left in a thick, dreadful rut
and a journey commences
to discover the soul denied
how body concealed and heart lied
life beyond self, sitting on the shelf
the first, middle and the last book
of devotion, selfless emotion, agape
distant evolution, of kind
not considered worthy of mention, before
what could have been the intention
of such worthless, clueless thought,
opinions of sages sought,
to defeat hope, desire of something before I
I commences scouting, shouting abuse
at green shoots, inkling of new,
uncharted galaxy, time bends, skew
perception, accept reception of end
lend a hand, be that of destiny
annihilate I, old adversary, good bye
far in the distance, eyes search
no signs of lost love found
foolish heart, optimism abound
when last shred of hope
will be lost, it will die,
soul sighs,
sings to the terminal,
no cure illness,
last beat, stillness….
