I never want to do the same things twice. I like surprises.

A Bit Of Both
Life is filled with surprises
some are large, some are small,
and there are some surprises
that are never welcome at all.
We walk through life accepting
the good with the bad,
but always hoping for the best
and always dreading the worst.
No matter which way we look at it,
life is going to give us a bit of both.

How Many Deviations In A Life's Journey
how many deviations a life's journey takes on on its onward march,
attracted to all and sundry sweet things, like bees, on its way-
a hop here, a bite there, a suck elsewhere, and a flight to something else;
quite puzzled to select its haunt, it reels in pain of defeat and non-achievement;
the dabbling continues unabated till the day dawns of its sudden enlightenment -
when, realising its potential in a specific field, decides to desert the others,
of course with a heavy heart, hardening its resolve to pursue in only one field!
it surprises life why so much haggling so long on a simple problem!
now this road is lit with surprises of successes gladdening the life!
that is how i landed on poetry from painting and other diverting passions.

Our House Of Prayer
With our house surprises are certain,
The sure men who love me most are in here.
The children have no longer been ill,
And this time we have sickness.
The illness to know is too striking,
It means times of the world are changing.
This time, we call them an angel,
And this angel is deadly for our children.
The house is empty now of surprises,
For the prayers will be answered.

Sonnet: Nothing’s Reliable on Earth
The world is full of surprises and shocks;
The things we think will happen never could;
No house is safe though built by cement/rocks;
When gas gets empty, we return to wood.
The friend we thought was best becomes our foe!
An evil mind turns Good Samaritan;
Nothing happens as per schedule like woe!
All things are unpredictable like man.
The things on earth can dupe our eyes and ears;
Man’s knowledge is never enough at all;
Though wisdom comes to men who seek oe’r years;
Man’s sinfulness becomes a mighty wall.
Our senses aren’t very perfect at all;
Yet, we must never miss our Maker’s call.

It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. It's a crazy world out there. Be curious.

This Years Girl
See her picture in a thousand places
cause shes this years girl.
You think you all own little pieces
Of this years girl.
Forget your fancy manners,
Forget your english grammar,
cause you dont really give a damn
About this years girl.
Still youre hoping that shes well spoken
cause shes this years girl.
You want her broken with her mouth wide open
cause shes this years girl.
Never knowing its a real attraction,
All these promises of satisfaction,
While shes being bored to distraction
Being this years girl.
Times running out. shes not happy with the cost.
Thered be no doubt, only shes forgotten
Much more than shes lost.
A bright spark might corner the market
In this years girl.
You see yourself rolling on the carpet
With this years girl.
Those disco synthesizers,
Those daily tranquilizers,
Those body building prizes,
Those bedroom alibis,
All this, but no surprises for this years girl.
All this, but no surprises for this years girl.
All this, but no surprises for this years girl.

If All Things May Be Poems
If all things may be poems,
And each and every perception an epiphany,
And what we are not really dust
But some higher music of God's soul
And if the world as it is
Truly sings with the most sublime melody,
Then perhaps
At the end of every darkness
And the loss of every night
There is a dawn for all of us
In which we will be
What God surprises us with
And as.

My dearest writes a few words
My dearest writes a few words
that are very really striking
and I wonder how she knows
the reasons that I love her.
At times she astonishes me
and sometimes she surprises me
and there’s times that she makes me happy,
but all of these things
are far to little
describe that which is between us.

At Least Pretend We Are Aware
Aching to close the shutters.
The view outside holds less surprises.
Although the Sun is shining bright...
The faces reflect,
A lost appetite for joy!
They seem to have no cheer on them...
Without the appearance of new 'things'
Near!
Or something quick...
To surround themselves to begin,
Then set aside and forget!
And it has not been made clear,
To them at all.
It was never what they had,
But who they were with it.
And without those 'things'...
Isn't the Sun still going to shine?
If 'it' did not...
We would also stop existing!
I 'think' there is 'something' far greater,
We should be thankful for!
Or at least 'pretend' we are aware of IT!
Since I 'sense' IT feels ignored!
AND...
IT has the power to close 'all' doors,
Permanently!
Like giving 'that' a forever status!

The emptiness deep inside
The emptiness deep inside
eats like a cancer on me
and I wonder where I
fit into this old life?
Every day I wear other clothes from my cupboard
hide behind a smile
that I give to the world
and see strangers smiling back at me
and even this passes me meaningless
and sometimes I wonder
who measures out my punishment
as if the Lord is not seeing me
and knows nothing about me.
l’Envoi
That which lies behind my mask
is hidden so deeply
that nothing breaks through it
and with times
it’s as if I get big surprises
when things happen unexpectedly and indeterminately
and I see how He tries to teach me big lessons
and brings about radical changes
and even turns around the worst things.

Twists And Turns Of Our Lives....
it is not seldom when we meet some
twists in a the state of
things,
you must have heard about a pig
who was more of
a dog, and the farmer loves it more
for that
you will continue hearing about
some incredible surprises
or perhaps i have many things to hear from your
own experience,
we all have these twists and turns and we swear that by God
we are happy
that we have conquered guilt and
that we are ready for some more
fun,
i called a friend today, and we have set so many meetings
to discuss about these matters,
but we never did it, not because we have no time but because
we decided to leave these matters to time, the maker of history,
the sealer of fate.

Dreamland In Life
Sometimes life throws us a curve
from which future things develop.
Friendships are formed from a comment given.
We never know what is around the corner
and nor do we really want to know.
Surprises in life brighten us up
whenever they come to take us
to that dreamland in life.

I Have No Poem Tonight/ But Life In Its Strange Beauty Surprises
I HAVE NO POEM TONIGHT/ BUT LIFE IN ITS STRANGE BEAUTY SURPRISES
I have no poem tonight
But life in its strange beauty surprises
And somewhere looking up at the sky
I see
An endless hope-
A beauty beyond any dreaming
A depth of light and black and night
No one could ever imagine alone.
This world of God sometimes-
Is as much a true home,
As for me
A true poem.

Food On My Table
Come and see the food on my table,
For it is prepared for you and me;
And, i am waiting for you in the room of my love.
Life is full of surprises and i want to show you my love,
And here comes the sun of the morning to touch your heart;
For, it is right for you to be beside me at this table.
The food on my table,
As soon as you receive my letter means that i love you;
For life is full of surprises and i want your love,
So come and let us share this food on my table.

A Lot Of Surprises
Sitting on a park bench
along side a still watered pond
I watched a mother duck swim
with a trail of ducklings behind.
Sometimes we sit
and close our eyes never seeing
the beauty around us there.
It is the small things
we should watch closely
as they are the ones
that bring the most pleasure there.
As the day changes
other, things catch our attention
as they start to emerge.
The sun fades and the rabbits
come out of their burrows
with their little noses twitching
as they graze merrily away
and then scamper at an unfamiliar sound.
As the night descends,
the flapping of bat wings
can be heard across the stillness.
The lonely hoot of an owl
somewhere high in a tree.
Most would never bother seeing
the things nature brings
for if they did
they would soon realise nature
has a lot of surprises in store.

Out From the Woodwork...AGAIN
Prepare for them.
They are plotting...
To make surprises appearances,
From nowhere.
Out from the woodwork.
Those who once had issues,
With your lifestyle and how you lived.
Those who criticized your efforts.
And everything you did.
But time have changed.
And an exchange of fortunes,
Have occured.
Those who thought nothing of slandering you,
And now wishing for your time,
To impose upon you...
Wanting full attention.
And their voices to be heard!
Prepare for them.
They are plotting...
To make surprises appearances,
From nowhere.
Out from the woodwork.
Those who called you a fool and jerk...
Are out of time, money.
A place to live!
Since they are out of work,
And integrity!

Never Let Me Go
Wow. after I jumped, it ocurred to me. life is perfect. life is the best, full of magic, beauty, opportunity, and television. and surprises...lots of surprises, yeah. and then theres the best
, of course. better than anything anyone ever made up, cause its real.
You take a stranger by the hand
A man who doesnt understand
His wildest dreams
You walk across the dirty sand
And offer him an ocean
Of what hes never seen
Maybe I was blind
Or i, I might have closed my eyes
Maybe I was dumb
But what I forgot to say
If you didnt know
Is never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
You run from love and dont believe
Unless it catches you by the heel
That even then, you struggle
From red I learned to cross the strand
Your footprints still there in the sand
Everything else, washed away
I may not be alone
Oh i, I may have found my home
I may have lost my way
But what I forgot to say
If you didnt know
Is never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
