Rattled
Don't think that floating boat,
You sit in needs no one to paddle.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.
You can handle this with feelings felt specific.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.
You can handle this and quick.
With a healing that mends.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.
Knowing you are well equipped to face and conquer battles.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.
No need to get annoyed,
From annoyances that sit.
Or let yourself just drift.
With experience dismissed.
Knowing you are well equipped to face and conquer battles.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.
Don't think that floating boat,
You sit in needs no one to paddle.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.
Knowing you are well equipped to face and conquer battles.
You can face conflicts,
To unravel what has rattled.
And battle anything,
If you sit tall in that saddle.
Don't think that floating boat,
You sit in needs no one to paddle.
You need to grab those paddles,
And begin to steer that boat.

The Body And Memory
THE BODY AND MEMORY
The body and memory
The fame and absence
Have in them
Traces of death
Catch you
God knows where?
Writing is an intoxicant
That lulls us to sleep
We wield it to wield the other
We do not know
We are wielded by.

He who pelts another with paddles asks for stones in return.
Prejudice is a raft onto which the shipwrecked mind clambers and paddles to safety.
Simple Joy
a man paddles a boat
on a crystal river
the moon shines brightly
the head of his beloved
rests on on his chest

With two people and luggage on board she draws four inches of water. Two canoe paddles will move her along at a speed reasonable enough in moderate currents.

Life is cry
I count, I count, I wield, I wield
And I will leave, my presence felt.
It’s ego’s cry.
I want, I want, I have, I have,
And I will leave, my hunger met.
It’s senses’ cry.
I love, I love, I woo, I woo
And I will leave, women’s heart wet.
It is man’s cry.
I lure, I lure, I stir, I stir,
And I will leave, men’s heart hurt.
It’s woman’s cry.
I bear, I bear, I rear, I rear
And I will leave, children intact.
It’s mother’s cry.
Everyone cries, everyone must cry
As the cry is life and life is cry.
It’s the world’s cry.
I see you cry, I hear you cry.
I’m the referee; it is my sport.
It is the God’s cry.
The new born must cry, we all wish.
We must cry, the dying men wish.

There Are No Pre-requisites To Friendship
genuine friendship
is nothing but just presence
there are no per-requisites
no demands
no expectations just the
honesty of being myself
and being yourself
nothing much just the feeling
that i am one like you
too, in this, in that, that
we belong to the same house,
on the same journey
inside this ordinary boat
with us are paddles and
rigs admiring the same
orange sunset between
the shadows of the hills.

Night's Ink
I wield this pen only after sundown
For the blackness of night supplies the ink
Fresh dew drops gather to form a crown
On the wild grasses, jewels that glisten in sync
With those in the dark satin dome overhead
What earthly beauty could ever compare
To such overwhelming vastness unending
How small and irrelevant to all of existence are we
Oh, if I could but play a bigger part
Be the aligner of planets
The crosser of stars
The one to lasso Halley's comet
To be more than a speck of dust gathered
On a shelf in the house of eternity
To be more than one dying cell that soon won't matter
In this great organism called the galaxy
To wield a pen with never-ending ink
And seal my words with the stamp of significance
That one day facing death, on the brink
I might see these words raised higher than me
And smile at my own insignificance

Time Beside Us....
time has always been beside us
and we know that it does not talk
it does all its tasks
and having been with us since birth
or even before that
with them
we had all taken it for granted until it
is consumed
until it lays us on a niche filled with white roses
until what we hear are the cries of those who love us
then time closes the lid
and takes us to another destination
on that imaginary boat
without the paddles.

A Love Poem #1
I really like
To write you
A love poem
Someday
One that
Looks like the
Shadow of
A young man
Fishing out
To the sea
And spreads
His net and
Paddles his
Way around
A school of
Fish and then
He waits
For a while
Dreaming
Only about
You
Then he
Sees a seagull
Encircling
Above his
Head flying
Over him
And then
Hovers
On the side
Of his
Boat like
Looking for a
Fish

H.
you challenge me to write about nothing
you say it is nice theme
something that we experience somehow
when we are down
depressed like a man screaming on the boat
bound to nowhere
rotating upon itself the paddles all so confused
i don't really believe that i can write about it
it is beyond my grasp
beyond the clutches of words
but let me tell you that when i begin to sigh
and take a deep breathe
i know that it is here inside my heart
but my guts deny it

In this culture, where entertainers and athletes wield such power, it seems only right to me that they try to make their influence a good one.
Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.

Sword Of Mine
The Sword that I carry
Though made not of iron or steel,
It is a mighty sword
That I proudly do so wield.
Though it wont break the skin
Or combat the weapons of a foe
But this is a mighty sword of mine
More precious than silver or gold.
This sword that I carry
I proudly display it in my hand,
For I know this sword of mine
Is greater, than any other mans.
It comforts me when I am tired
It will warm me when I am cold
It will lie down beside of me
To protect, and strengthen my soul.
The sword that I hold
Is tattered, and so very worn
It has been a friend along side of me,
In the sunshine and many storms.
It has shown me a path to follow
And has lit the road that I walk,
And those nights when I was alone and scared
Then to me, I could hear it talk.
The sword that I wield
Though may be different, in shape or size,
But it is the same sword
Which for years has cushioned the souls cry.
It has been here since the dawn of time
And will be here when the great walls fall,
And then when all men of war and hate reflect,
My sword, will be the mightiest sword of all.

Pencils with sharpened points

Killer Pens And Gavels
Blackgowned,
