The Moon of Venus
You who are going to Venus:
There is a third man who has waited
for thirty one years.
Waiting is meditating.
He is the greatest Buddha
of us all.
Close to bliss
bask in his closeness.
There is a middle man.
He is waiting.
He is meditating.
Far from close
he is Pluto.
Third man is Venus.
There is one who has long basked.
She is the Moon of Venus.
She loves bold patterns
in two colours.
One is always darker than the other.
There is a first man.
He is not waiting.
He is commentating.
He has one of Moon's bold patterns.
Orange is lighter than green.

Flies ZOOM across the room,
Then with one sneaky snap,
The flies become breakfast
For the Venus flytrap!
YO! The Venus flytrap!
YO! The Venus flytrap!
Another fly must die
And flap its final flap,
Blood and guts for breakfast
For the Venus flytrap!
YO! The Venus flytrap!
YO! The Venus flytrap!
Eats a piece of Fly-Pie
And then he takes a nap!
A nap after breakfast
For the Venus flytrap!
Snappin’ and clappin’
With a ZING and a ZAP!
Flappin’ and nappin’
And yappin’ as we tap
a-rap-rap-rappin’...
YO! The Venus flytrap!

I believe that no man who holds a leader's position should ever accept favors from either side. He is then committed to show favors. A leader must stand alone.

So yo think youve got a hold on me
But did you ever, or is that your fantasy.
Ill miss you when you go,
But, no pain wont show
Im free to search and go my way.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
I suppose youve been good to me
Maybe not enough to rock my sanity.
You never asked me questions,
And you never understood.
Im free to search and go my way.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
So bold, yeah bold and reckless.
Well, I cant live in a cage,
Ive just got to be free, dancin and flyin away.
But your always in my dreams, runin
Yes, your always in my dreams, runin
So weve been gettin closer by degree
But, you wont ever bring me to my knees.
Youll never make me shy,
And you wont see me cry.
Im still free to go my way.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
So bold, still bold and reckless.
Yes, you were always in my dreams runin
Always in my dreams.
So bold, so bold and reckless.
Yeah, yeah, so bold and reckless.
Yeah, yeah, so bold and reckless.
Still bold, still bold and reckless.
Still bold, still bold and reckless.

Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.

For Science
There has been a spacecraft sighted
Flying high above the sky
Sirens declare theres one among us from venus
Volunteers, we need volunteers
Soldiers to meet them
Have no fear
Have no fear
You will be killed right away
I will date the girl from venus
Flowers die and so will i
Yes, I will kiss the girl from venus for science
Im so brave

Ill be her love slave
Hes so brave

Hell be her love slave forever

Lets get those missiles ready to destroy the universe!

Star Venus
The night is clear,
The sky is dotted with twinkling stars,
Amidst the star community Venus stands,
With bright twinkling sisters,
In their night dresses pure like pearls,
Venus shepherds sailors
To desired destinations.
Have passed are generations
Will come are generations,
Had seen and will witness
Her majesty star Venus.

Venus Mistaken
When Cloe's Picture was to Venus shown;
Surpriz'd, the Goddess took it for Her own.
And what, said She, does this bold Painter mean?
When was I Bathing thus, and Naked seen?
Pleas'd Cupid heard, and check'd His Mother's Pride:
And who's blind now, Mamma? the Urchin cry'd.
'Tis Cloe's Eye, and Cheek, and Lip, and Breast:
Friend Howard's Genius fancy'd all the rest.

A time and occasion
Slow and steady you win the race
Calm and quieit successfully you face
One step forward and two steps backward
Still eyes straight toward goad and look ahead
It may not be easy but still not impossible
Its outcome is apprent and certainly visible
You need to plan as per time and occasion
Nothng should left out in haste or confusion
It may materlize in days to come
Any of the set back must be tackled and welcomed
Nothig should deter us from going with precision
It has to be sharp and clear cut decision
It is advised not to halt till it is achieved
The drive should not slowed be down un til pressure is relieved
There is should be no difference betwwwen what is said and believed
There should no be any mismatch for what is aimed at or delievered
It may bring some valuable support from all the quarters
It may swing into your favor and alter
The world also favors the positive swing
Everybody is supposed to perform the right or bring
The ide can be turned into favor
The ships can be eeasi; ly anchored
The shores can be washed with all glory
There is no room then to cut sorry
It has desirous effect on passimism
Much stress should be laid on enthisiasm
What can not be converted in tor eality?
Certainly it cn be done with fine blend and quality
Fortune favors the brave and bold
They have the powers to hold
The ultimate goal is nearly possible
Nothing can be termed as impossible

Sonnet XVII: Why Should I Sing in Verse
Why should I sing in verse, why should I frame
These sad neglected notes for her dear sake?
Why should I offer up onto her name
The sweetest sacrifice my youth can make?
Why should I strive to make her live for ever,
That never deigns to give me joy to live?
Why should m'afflicted Muse so much endeavor,
Such honor unto cruelty to give?
If her defects have purchas'd her this fame,
What should her virtues do, her smiles, her love?
If this her worst, how should her best enflame?
What passions would her milder favors move?
Favors (I think) would sense quite overcome,
And that makes happy Lovers ever dumb.

On Tea
Venus her myrtle, Phoebus has her bays;
Tea both excels, which she vouchsafes to praise.
The best of Queens, and best of herbs, we owe
To that bold nation, which the way did show
To the fair region where the sun doth rise,
Whose rich productions we so justly prize.
The Muse's friend, tea does our fancy aid,
Repress those vapors which the head invade,
And keep the palace of the soul serene,
Fit on her birthday to salute the Queen.

Walk of Venus
Walk of Venus
On the 6th of June 2012
We saw the Venus walk
And did verily talk
Of its transition
From its position
From one limb
Of the solar disc
To the other limb!
Ah! A rare alignment
And an extremely rare event!
An infrequent phenomenon!
This occurs
When ‘twixt the Earth and the Sun
Venus enchantingly strides
And as a black spot glides
On the face of the glaring Sun!
Ah! There was a beauty spot
Which the Sun got
On its glowing cheek beauteously
For six hours continuously!
For the next century
In November 2117 it'll show;
As for this century
This is the last such show! t

Quest for Enlightenment
O please guide me,
O knowledgeable one.
My wondering has no limits, &
My soul won't stop its fits.
Dear you are to me, &
Dear you will be to the world.
If you enlighten, &
If you brighten.
I will then be no disguise, &
I will then rise.
Do as you will, &
Do it to fill.
Your heart, &
Your soul.
Heart of others will be filled, &
Heart of mine too.
Favors will be exchanged, &
Favors will be accepted.
My ignorance will vanish, &
My restlessness will be forever harnessed.
Soul will be released, &
Soul will be content.
Will there be more to ask? &
Will there be more to want?
Be it everything, or
Be it nothing at all.
Graced will be us, &
Graced will be the universe.

Glycera Rediviva
Horace: Book I, Ode 19
"Mater sæva Cupidinum"
Venus, the cruel mother of
The Cupids (symbolising Love),
Bids me to muse upon and sigh
For things to which I've said "Good-bye!"
Believe me or believe me not,
I give this Glycera girl a lot:
Pure Parian marble are her arms--
And she has eighty other charms.
Venus has left her Cyprus home
And will not let me pull a pome
About the Parthians, fierce and rough,
The Scythian war, and all that stuff.
Set up, O slaves, a verdant shrine!
Uncork a quart of last year's wine!
Place incense here, and here verbenas,
And watch me while I jolly Venus!
