Such luxury is not for me. for friend Thad
A marble floor that’s silken smooth
and walls of carven cedar wood.
What does such ostentation prove?
I do not know but feel I should.
Such luxury is not for me
I am contented with my lot.
I make no effort to impress
I have sufficient for my needs.
It matters not that I have less
than those who feel they must succeed
Such luxury is not for me.
I am contented with my lot
I see no reason to display
I much prefer my privacy.
I live my life in my own way
Accepting life’s reality
Such luxury is not for me.
I am contented with my lot
Though I indulge in fantasy
from time to time like everyone
I know it’s not reality
only a dream that’s quickly gone.
Such luxury is not for me.
I am contented with my lot.
I earn my living honestly
although I’m just an artisan
Better to live quietly
as befits a simple man.
Such luxury is not for me.
I am contented with my lot
A marble floor that’s silken smooth
and walls of carven cedar wood.
What does such ostentation prove?
Something I’ve never understood.
Such luxury is not for me.
I am contented with my lot.

Catharses
‘My husband is away;
Father is blind, mother sleeping,
A good time, visit me soon.’
A girl in dance addresses Lord
Srinivasa.
The genre,
Audience enjoys,
The girl enjoys,
The singer enjoys,
And all women do.
No one is pricked.
The addressee is the Lord.
Catharses in sublimation.

Life long...
Life long dreams made
Life long debts paid
Life long fights won
Life long task done
Life long sorrow averted
Life long disasters diverted
Life long promises kept
Life long tears were wept
Life long hate is bound
Life long Love is found
Life long hearts as one
Life long end will come

The host counts the loss
Woman is a host and man is a guest
In a sexual act, an accomplished act.
She enjoys offering herself to him.
He enjoys himself feeding upon her.
Party is over; the host counts the loss.

Of ten parts a man enjoys one only, but a woman enjoys the full ten parts in her heart.
Until Something Loved Comes Along
One loves what is done.
Another enjoys what is done.
And a third likes what is done.
Which one does what is done,
Because there is nothing else to do?
'I would say it is the one who loves what is done!
Since what is done is all that one wishes to do.'
What about the one that likes what is done?
'That one neither loves or enjoys it.
It is just something to do,
Until something loved comes along...
That can be enjoyed! '
It does seem that those who love what is done,
Have little time for anything else to do!

Happiness One Enjoys......!
Happiness in life lies in the pleasure one enjoys!
Satisfaction in life lies in the work one does!
Sans happiness and satisfaction freedom is nothing!
Knowledge and love give real freedom here!
Beauty and truth make one perfect in work!
Beauty, truth, love, joy and peace one seeks in life!
With knowledge, vision and ambition one makes achievement!
Knowledge, living, pleasure and absolute constitute life!
Sufferings are due to ignorance and negligence of wisdom!
Pleasures sans knowledge will thrust only in deep abyss!
Life is for enjoying happiness out of knowledge and love!
This is the grand truth both religion and literature say ever.
Losing happiness in life is entirely due to vehemence only;
Happiness one enjoys, so, is due to perfection by truth and love!

Animal Rights (A Bad Cat)
A cat is a bad cat,
so long as it sheds,
the hairs on my hat.
A cat is a bad cat,
so long as it spreads
the food scraps
on my mat.
A cat is a bad cat,
so long as it doesn't protect
my cheese and bread,
stolen away by a mouse,
which ransacks my house.
A cat is a bad cat,
no matter thin or fat,
so long as it sleeps all day on my bed,
so long as it makes noisy fight,
during the silent nights,
so angry and mad,
with a pack of stray cats,
for a beautiful female cat,
for mating business.
Every morning it comes back,
with wounds on the head,
scratches on the back,
and the fresh blood still wet.
These wounds I have to clean and dress,
while it enjoys the pleasure of sex.
We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.

Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most.
Whoever enjoys his life is doing the Creator's will.
He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.
Get Up Off Your Knees and Think
The time has come...
For self inflicted sorrows to end.
Get up off your knees and think!
That which has pushed you to the brink,
Can not last without your involvement!
You have fed it like a habit too long!
Your happiness begs to be released...
If you allow it to increase within your mind!
That time has long been awaiting.
Get up off your knees and think...
Everything that has held you down,
Enjoys the grief you are too willing to give!

Homosexuality
This is the
Age of
Open
Homosexuality.
It's slowly
Losing its
Promiscuity.
It's becoming
As prevalent
As heterosexuality.
I don't know
What the fuss
Is all about…
As long as
The person
Is old enough
To understand
His sexuality...
Doesn't harm
Anybody…
Enjoys safe
Sex -
Who are we
To dictate
That he should
Practise
Only
Heterosexuality?
It's his choice.
Let him experiment.
Let's respect his
Wishes…
Let's accept him
As one of us.
He's a human being
With sexual needs
Just as all of us…
So what
If he's
Gay or bisexual?
It's his life.
Let him live it.

Rockets To Roses
Dedicated to My late husband Robert McFarland
Not so long ago in happier days rockets were needed
to put a man on the moon.
My husband succeeded. Then came retirement, what would he do?
He was a scientist, this he knew.
Soon he had a garden of roses like none
I had ever seen.
Loving care he gave them until his life was through.
This I try to do!
I know he enjoys the ones I take to him at his
place of rest.
Sleep well, my love, I am doing my best!

No man enjoys the true taste of life, but he who is ready and willing to quit it.
The more a woman likes her job, the better her self-image and the more she enjoys her life.

And though my love abounding
And though my love abounding,
Did make me fall a sounding,
Yet am I well contented,
Still so to be tormented,
And death can never fear me,
As long as you are near me.
