Tell a word

Word word and word
without word
you are cowherd.

Tell a word
where include
entire world
where include
all creature
and water air
sky and earth
and also include light.
Tell a word
that is bright.

word word and word
through your word
I can know you
friend not foe.

Tell a word
and in that word
I conquered
entire world.

The Root Of All Evil

Anger,
The root of all evil,
Dwells in your heart.
Anger,
Towards me,
For what I have done.

As time passes,
The anger grows,
Until it has engulfed your,
Entire mind, soul and,
Your entire being.

Irrationality goes hand in hand,
With the anger you,
Conceal in your very,
Troubled heart.
Irrationally you judge,
Irrationally you blame,
But I have irrationally acted,
And I know I have hurt you.

In my own anger,
I have pierced the heart,
That I once cared for,
The heart I once held close,
To my own,
But now that heart,
I have torn.

The words I said,
Have been forgotten,
The anger I felt,
Has been relived,
But you broken still,
Remain.

I am truly sorry,
For my harsh words and,
For my rash actions,
They were only in anger,
And anger,
Is the root of all evil.

No poet will ever take the written word as a substitute for the spoken word; he knows that it is on the spoken word, and the spoken word only, that his art is founded.

The very last word spoken

The last word spoken
was said in a whisper,
as if it wasn't meant at all
but it was the final word
that she ever spoke to me.
But she's gone now
so the word was meant
that final word spoken
said so quietly to me
maybe she didn't want to say it,
that's why it was whispered
but the word was goodbye.

Anger, my enemy or my friend?

Anger is my enemy
There is a plenty of anger inside of me
I have to control it now but I don’t know how
My anger is part of my frustration
It fades my concentration in my ambition
It causes me plenty of trouble
It makes my life horrible
Anger form fears in my heart
It makes me broken apart
My body shakes with anger
It will not stop forever
I feel like I’m alone in this world
Nobody say to me any word

But the anger inside of me becomes my friend
It will never leave me till the end
My anger doesn’t leave me
It’s always there inside of me

Least said soonest mended.

Least said soonest mended.

In the anger of the moment.
We react instinctively
Harsh words spill out by accident
Which we regret immediately.

Anger looses inhibitions
We do not think before we speak.

The spoken word can’t be unsaid
However much we may regret.
Although our anger’s long since fled
Those we offend do not forget.

Anger loosens inhibitions.
We do not think before we speak.

Old friends become new enemies.
Misunderstandings on both sides
Exchanging apologies
may help but bitterness abides.

Anger loosens inhibitions
We do not think before we speak.

Reacting to a perceived slight.
Something we are prone to do.
We forget to be polite.
It’s unfortunate but it’s true.

Has your word the strength
And power the bear the life?
Through the word

Coining of words through life

That is to cultvate.

Anger fills my heart and soul

Anger fills my heart and soul
Anger takes a mighty toll
Anger lessens but can never leave
Anger you hope to never receive,
Anger stays forever within
Anger acts with the might of all sin
Anger is deadly to all around
Anger gets mad at the thought of sound
Anger is the thoughts in my head
Anger that’s mine all should dread
Anger for me is different from you
Anger you see tells me what to do
Anger will sit and whisper in my ear
Anger he sits and tells me all that you fear,

Anger…
He is here
He’s here to stay
Anger is the hole
In which we lay
Anger is
And Anger will
Always be with us

He is in me, and he is in you
He can make you do
What he wants you to
Anger will make you
Make you cry
Anger can make you
Want to die
Anger can make you
Go insane
Anger….. ... A blood filled rain
No more anger
No more…..
Walk to the bright light
Shinning through that door…
Not knowing what’s in store
But even then
Anger lives on
But you… nevermore

The Question Remains

When vile necessities
And confidence are shaken,
A compromise is forsaken
In the best of breeds...

How did I become this?
For you, there is no answer.
It is something I have sought
Until I found peace...

Let no interference
Persuade me against my wish,
The alibi-that exists,
Need not have a name...

Neither I should
Weigh too much on mine
For if I were a word,
I might come out and die...

Life, like a spoken word,
Will sometime perishes,
Spoken word transforming
Like a wish-never preserved...

Were I to discard
All vanities for a time
To know the depth of being
From the lower side? ...

Was it important
To experience the loss
Of something which has value
Sacrificed too fast?

The question still remains! ...

LoSt FrEiNdShIp

My mind becomes my prison
Chained to a heart which meant to cause no pain
Thoughts consume my every word
One voice is spoken
But sound is never herd
A friend so close
Yet the past keeps him farther away
Trapped in this present
As my mind remains buried on yesterday
feeling so left out
My being wants to fade to black
Shadowed by so much anger
So I drift towards the back
As I speak, every word is ignored
Trying to shield the pain
But your actions become the sword
So I remain to the side
Where my anger never fails to linger
And my words choose to hide
So you are safe and I don't pull the trigger

Anger

Beware of Anger
It is just one letter short of Danger,
Anger present in one's soul
Destructs the body and mind as a whole,
In anger you act foolishly in a fit of rage
Which then creates a very bad image,
Unknowingly you happen to hurt someone
Thereby spoiling all the life's fun,
So do not create place for Anger
In your heart, mind or soul,
For once it settles in you
You are liked by very few,
So try to remain calm & act cool
And do not make yourselves a fool,
You can try this as nothing is impossible
As the word ‘impossible' itself says I'm possible,
So next time if anger resides in your hearts room
Throw it out & see how your life will bloom!

Sicilian Blood

Sicilian blood that runs through me
courses through my veins
and just like Mt. Vesuvius
erupts when anger remains.
It's at these times I take a breath
and silently count to ten.
I let that lava cool itself
by picking up my pen.

I write about love. I write about peace
and release the red-hot flow.
When I'm finished with the write
it let's the anger go.
Sicilian blood, you may run through me
and sometimes you may boil.
But as long as I have my word to write
my peace you will never spoil.

The Heart’s Of Men

It is said that ‘the heart's of men
are bad from their youth upwards.’

Sometimes the heart's of men
are provoked inflamed
by incidents that happen to them

men especially seem to carry
such anger more than most women
a mild reproach quietly spoken

may still inflame such souls
the truth a barb hooking
such souls in guilt fury livid

apparently the truth is
a two edged sword
beware back swipes!

what is real truth?
‘many a true word was
spoken in anger’

‘the truth will have its day’
about anger what to say?
Let us answer truthfully.

If we confess to believe in God
then we also believe in Satan
who desires to sow hate and anger.

We choose who we will serve!

Jesus said to give him our anger
to carry, and this we must strive to do.
With practice seems easier to do.

All that is good in me
comes from God
and his divine wisdom.

I do not judge I discern.
I did not promise God
I would not sin because

in thoughts and deeds
I fail constantly.
But I try and of the two

most important commandments
Jesus spoke of at Matthew
22: 37-40, the first is easy.

“You must love Jehovah your God
with your whole heart and with your
whole soul and with your whole mind.

This is the greatest and first commandment.

The second, like it, is this,

‘You must love your neighbour as yourself.’

On these two commandments the
whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”

But the second (The whole world
is our neighbour! Unlike Stephen
I would not be praying to God to

forgive those stoning me to death.
But I have come a long way
and God willing still have far to go.

My Anger

My anger wants to kill.
My anger wants to spill.
My anger wants to smash a wall.
My anger wants to make someone feel small.
My anger makes me carve my skin.
My anger is locked up within.
My anger is fierce and fatal.
My anger isn't stable.
When my anger is out stay away.
Because my anger destroys everything in its way.

The Last Farewell

(words & music by roger whittaker - r.a. webster)
Theres a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old england she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Ive heard theres a wicked war a-blazing
And the taste of war I know so very well
Even now I see the foreign flag a-raising
Their guns on fire as we sail into hell
I have no fear of death, it brings no sorrow
But how bitter will be this last farewell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
Though death and darkness gather all about me
My ship be torn apart upon the seas
I shall smell again the fragrance of these islands
And the heaving waves that brought me once to thee
And should I return home safe again to england
I shall watch the english mist roll through the dale
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
For you are beautiful, I have loved you dearly
More dearly than the spoken word can tell
