Pilgrimage

Am I a pilgrim or a wayfarer
in this sanctum or a sanatorium?
Dear mom I was a prisoner for nine months
in your safe waterlogged womb.
But still I cannot swim in the deep seas.
The thorny crown and the cross too heavy for me.
I am only a puppet in the marionette
and somebody draws me here and there.
I am almost tired,
please let it be a freehand
and a freestyle race
without any restrictions.

Im A Marionette

youre so free, thats what everybodys telling me
Yet I feel Im like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Somethings wrong, got a feeling that I dont belong
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like king kong
Im a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
Im a marionette, everybodys pet, just as long as I sing
Im a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
Im a marionette, Im a marionette, just a silly old clown
Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall
Cant complain, Ive got no-one but myself to blame
Somethings happening I cant control, lost my hold, its insane!
Im a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
Im a marionette, everybodys pet, just as long as I sing
Im a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
Im a marionette, Im a marionette, just a silly old clown
look this way, just a little smile, is what they say
youll look better on the photograph if you laugh, thats okay
Im a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
Im a marionette, everybodys pet, just as long as I sing
Im a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
Im a marionette, Im a marionette, just a silly old clown
youre so free, thats what everybodys telling me
Yet I feel Im like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee

A Puppet

What if a strung up doll hated its life
And every part of what
It stood for
But couldn't escape because if it cut all
Strings attached
A puppet
Would no longer be worth watching.
A puppet
Would merely
Be a doll with useless marionette strings
Hanging from its sides
It would be nothing to watch
Nothing to see
Nothing to be
But
A puppet.
Without anything.

Womb to womb to tomb

I am born unto this womb
To be born again unto another womb
Before I take birth once again unto another womb
Then as mark of respect
A tomb shall man place on that womb
To remind the world
That this day a man
Was, born unto this womb.

Before another birth I seek
To live another life in another womb
In the seas of life I shall swim
Before I am once again ready
To take birth unto this womb
To be born again unto another womb
Before, I take birth once again to be entombed.

Maidenhood

THROUGH her fair world of blossoms fresh and bright,
Veiled with her maiden innocence, she goes;
Not all the splendour of the waxing light
She sees, nor all the colour of the rose;
And yet who knows what finer hues she sees,
Hid by our wisdom from our longing eyes?
Who knows what light she sees in skies and seas
Which is withholden from our seas and skies?

Shod with her youth the thorny paths she treads
And feels not yet the treachery of the thorn,
Her crown of lilies still its perfume sheds
Where Love, the thorny crown, not yet is borne.
Yet in the mystery of her peaceful way
Who knows what fears beset her innocence,
Who, trembling, learns that thorns will wound some day,
And wonders what thorns are, and why, and whence?

Waterlogged

Waterlogged and silent,
The muse of 'Hurricane Irene' hits New York!
But, i do hope that, the people over there will be in safer places;
However, nobody can stop Nature's strong hands.

Unsettled,
Unusually,
Uncertain! !
And like Nature's strong hands in the name of 'Hurricane Irene';
But let us all hope for the best after it overflows,
Even though, this flooding water destroys everything on its way.

Waterlogged, water, log, logged, god, dog, eat, ate, tea, are, era, art;
Waterlogged and silent!
Waterlogged, ear, to, at, lead, led, lod, deal, dale, ale, war, raw, dole;
The muse of 'Hurricane Irene' hits New York!
Waterlogged, tear, dear, read, deer, reed, go, do, doe, doer, oar, lower;
But, i do hope that, the people over there will be in safer places;
Waterlogged, wear, ware, weed, wed, law, low, dew, grew, rag, dreg;
However, nobody can stop Nature's strong hands! !
Waterlogged, rode, rod, red, draw, late, teal, tale, date, role, wart, gear;
And, uncertain are the different acts of the the 'Hurricanes' all over the world.

Dont Cross The River

Theres a little girl out lyin on her own
Shes got a broken heart
Shes not the kind to take you down for long
She knows and plays it smart
(ah--) and if shes comin shes showed no mark
Shes heard no whistle blowin from the dark
She feels like leavin and she dont know why
Without no bridges shes trapped, so I sigh
Dont cross the river if you cant swim the tide
Dont try denyin livin on the other side
All your life
You were on your own
If you want you can ride my train
And soon forget the reason that youre leaving
Youll lose yourself and then sometime
Maybe even save yourself some grievin
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Dont cross the river if you cant swim the tide
Dont try denyin livin on the other side
Dont cross the river if you cant swim the tide
Dont try denyin livin on the other side
Dont cross the river if you cant swim the tide
Dont cross the river if you cant swim the tide
Dont cross the river if you cant swim the tide ...

Daughter of my womb

Daughter of my womb
You've stabbed my heart so bad
You've killed the bearer of your life
Daughter of my womb am dying

My smile is but a frown
I have no idea whom I will crown
As the daughter of your womb
For you've sent them all to the tomb

My wrinkled hands needed a tender one
My closing eye libs needed to see before they are gone
The seed of the seed of my womb are no more
Daughter of my womb, you've killed the daughters of your womb

The medicine man in his robes
Administered the wrong root for a drug
Your womb is empty I have nothing to wait for
Why didn't you tell me of your planned atrocities before?
Daughter of my womb

Daughter of my womb
You've stabbed my heart so bad
You've killed the bearer of your womb
You've sent your seed to the tomb
You've dragged the generation of your womb
Daughter of my womb, you've killed us.

Sea and oceans

I trust in the sea.
I trust in the deep blue seas and oceans.
I trust in these becuase they can help me.
They can take me out of this world.

The seas are my friend.
When I go there I feel at peace.
If I die in the sea it'll be quick.
I can not swim.
But I am a bit dim.

The seas I'm now in.
Ready to drown.
You may think I am a clown.

But I am serious.
At sea I shall drown.

Sailing On The Seven Seas

You say that love will capture me
But not unless you give it free
Were sailing on the seven seas
Sister ray is on tv
The light of love that shines so bright
That the f.b.i wont sleep tonight
Because Im so in awe of you
That I dont know what to do
And Im sailing on the seven seas so blue
Sick and tired and I dont know why
Skin and bone wont touch the sky
Sex and lies cant bring me down
Because Ive sold my soul all over town
Because Im so in awe of you
That I dont know what to do
And Im sailing on the seven seas so blue
People try and drag us down
So we learn to swim before we drown
Because Im so in awe of you
That I dont know what to do
And Im sailing on the seven seas so blue
And Im so in awe of you
That I dont know what to do
And Im sailing on
The seven seas so blue

Heavy Load

Orbison/price
At times it seems too rough, things just drag me down
Its hard to find the strength to just one more round
When I need help, I know where to go
cos youre the best friend that I could ever know
Being taught the words from you .... from what is true
Someone to share the pain that Im going through
And its a heavy load that I bear and its a heavy crown that I wear
As I travel down this road, its a heavy load, its a heavy load
Its a heavy load that I bear and its a heavy crown that I wear
So help me one more time, its such an uphill climb
As I travel down this road, its a heavy load
Lord its a heavy load, lord its a heavy load, lord its a heavy load
Lord its a heavy load, lord its a heavy load....

The Marionette

The marionette
Dances as it dangles down
From the plastic thread.
The hand commands it to move
With nimble fingers
And long-practiced maneuvers.
The hanging puppet
Sways in the sky, paralyzed
And helpless—playing pretend.

Till he keeps fulfilling her desire

She came running
Sweating badly
Breathing heavily
She was tired
Stopped at the tree
Where he was standing
Seeing him
Her tiredness gone
Face looked refreshed
Like the leaves on the tree
After the rain
In the bright sun
Droplets of perspiration
Shone like pearls
Her beauty increased
As her eyes met
The waiting lover
Who asked her?
If she was tired?
She swore to him
She could
Cross the mountains
Swim deep rivers
Walk the desert barefooted
To meet her beloved
She shall never tire
Till he keeps fulfilling
Her desire

Sonnet- On Your Second Child’s Gestation

Enwombed is life, a second time in you,
And crossed its stage of viability;
In three months’ time, delivery is due;
A test of womb’s birth-capability!

By far, the second child is born with ease;
But one can never take for granted things;
You have to keep surely your mental peace;
A safe outcome then Nature promptly brings.

Bear no unpleasant thoughts of your past past;
Let not the environs least irk your mind;
Let nothing in this world make you aghast;
To prayers only mostly, you must bind.

The ‘race’ is almost coming to an end;
But antenatally, ’tis wise to bend!

Explorations: XIX

the ocean blue
draws me into
it's vast womb

it churns and churns;
subjects me to ebb and tide
to let me know
how i withstand
all this and more

weary for a while
i swim back to the blue shore
for a small respite
before i'm made to
plunge headlong again...

Go Back

Go back' ordered emissary of Lord,
when brought to him tied in cord,
'Is this all you are send to perform'
with furious face and very heavy words

Still days left and time not ripe,
many more you to kill and also to wipe,
rape, arsen and loot with heavy foot,
also cold murder with heavy shoot,

You have not spared child and insane,
all pleading for mercy all into vain.
All you did not to earn fame
Creator being I, still name my blame,

You were not afraid and trap you laid,
bad act you perform which never said,
Have you to so suffer for sinful act?
plead you may more not with fact,

I may watch from here,
you may perform there,
will not end life even time run out,
kicks you may get still not you rout,

You may act bad and not feel sad,
rejoice at a fall abuse you recall,
never you think down, you may have fall,
no one will hear and you may so fear

I may come there and will born again,
bless for you all and glory to regain,
take you all in fold, lead to noble path,
No need to dip or take holy bath,

I may be drowned in deep water,
laden with heavy and thorny crown,
nails may pierce body with hot red iron,
people may shout kill and still frown,

If I Needed You

(townes van zandt)
If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
For to ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain
Well the nights forlorn
And the mornings born
And the morning shines
With the lights of love
And youll miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
And that would break
My heart in two
If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
For to ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain
Babys with me now
Since I showed her how
To lay
Her lilly
Hand in mine
Who would ill agree
Shes a sight to see
A treasure for
The poor to find
If I needed you
Would you come to me
Would you come to me
For to ease my pain
If you needed me
I would come to you
I would swim the seas
For to ease your pain

Poem: Song to the Holy Cross

The cross of love:
The cross I love:
The cross I'd loved all life;
The wooden cross:
The holy cross:
The cross that bore man's strife.

The oaken cross:
The heavy cross:
The cross Jesus carried;
The cross on which
Christ Lord was nailed:
And bore man's sins indeed.

The cross of death:
The blood-stained cross:
The Savior, man, redeemed;
The cross of life's
Victory o'er death:
That souls on earth must heed.
