Cause and Effect
Nothing in life is circumstantial,
Everything happens for a reason
And anything you do,
Whether you do it right or wrong
Within a set time framework,
It will have a cause and effect…
Failure and disappointment
Will be the final result
If you are one of those
Drown in desperation
When missing the tool of creativity.
Your works will give you away
Since your name is stamped on it
And only time will tell…
Success is only reserved
For all of those on Earth
Willing to sacrifice their time
Toward the achievement
Of their ultimate goal
Which it should be based on:
Honesty, integrity and ethic
Anywhere in the World!

Disingaged Minds
On the contrary my friends you are all wrong,
My time is not nearly gone,
It is the early morning,
Reminiscent of the setting sun,
A stasis before the new dawn
That fears the forbidden fruit
From the vine of early youth...
As if in a cloudy hour,
The afternoon came too soon
Before the morning had been done,
Time began blinking in and out
Of relevance and cognizance
To burn with consciousness...
What the world does not offer,
Restraints-will not give,
It can only be implemented from within
And if borrowing time
For this is a crime,
Then, invention be the wealth
Of disengaged minds,
While success belongs to the wise men on earth
Gained through hard work and sacrifice...

There was a time

Hey sweetheart!

As A Poet
As a part time poet
That I am
Running towards the night
The darkness- the anonymity
Bringing words to life...
Bodies cast in shadow
Outlines of light
Outside of form
the mind presides....
There are no witnesses
But God himself
For the virtue of effort
And the art of sacrifice...
A duty not to man
To recognize and praise
But to the nature of being human
And for what you were made...
I am nothing more than this
And can be nothing less
Or else I would perish
With no reason to exist...
Life is a purpose
A prescription to be filled
A medicine for sin
And a mortality to be healed...

The Wings of Time
The wings of time
Never stop flapping!
I left no words
Of where I had gone
Or where I was going
Or what I was to become...
Watching the time of day
Carry me away Into infinity!
In constant motion,
I plead for patience
But time ceases
For no one...
At least of all
My subsequent will
Who kneels
In humble submission
To divine law...
The rhythms of nature
Are the instructors
And implements of genius
When no one before has told
or discovered that the World,
Not you, is really old
Because the wings of time
Keep flapping ending-less!

Johanna
The flight was short
But the touching affections
Left behind on this Earth
Were forever stamped
In the hearts you touched
While living with us.
Three little ones
Who will be forever
Missing you days and nights
And who would carry your image,
For you continue living
Through all of them!
Two sad butterflies
Dressed in Black and Red
Carried the message
Of your departure!
Sweet and fun memories
Will enlighten our lives
And those precious ones
You left behind!
The Mighty One
Will be welcoming you
In the Heavens!
Rest In Peace dear Johanna!

Many Seek Status
To acknowledge that I 'am'
Who I 'am' and in the 'now'
Of my life!
Is for me a major achievement.
And one I live excuse free.
One based upon truth and honesty!
Many seek status.
Like an apparatus to mask.
Perhaps with hopes,
An acceptance is passed.
Or something that is approved...
As a test or a task.
If a status is proclaimed,
With wishes to keep one connected.
The time will not be long...
Until someone comes along,
To define that status wrong!
And pursued at the expense,
On one's identity...
That is compensated usually,
To eventually dispense.
To acknowledge that I 'am'
Who I 'am' and in the 'now'
Of my life!
Is for me a major achievement.
And one I live excuse free.
With a peace of mind,
I am glad to find...
Based upon truth and honesty!
And anyone who does not see it that way...
It is okay.
I am not going to debate it!
I am not in the pursuit of status!
To attract materialistic dreams.
With shine, sheen or gleam.
As a first time passenger on my journey...
I seek only God to please.
With deeds.
And a gratefulness to do so.
Many seek status!
And perhaps,
For them...
That is what God has assigned.

Poem: Passover Lamb
Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the only begotten Son of the Great I Am.
For He willingly humbled Himself
and served as the propitiation for our sins;
His Truth will be revealed at Earth's end,
from having laid down His life as our Friend.
Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the holy begotten Son of the Great I Am.
Our Lord made the ultimate sacrifice,
donating Himself as the World's sin offering.
Although temporarily buried in death's tomb,
He exited triumphantly from that cryptal womb.
Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the eternal begotten Son of the Great I Am.
Today He sits at the right hand of the Father,
humbly interceding on our behalf daily!
Now is still the acceptable day of Salvation,
for He paid the cost for our soul's preservation.
Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the blessed begotten Son of the Great I Am.
Entertaining thoughts of a spiritual breakthrough?
Know that it is not too late to save your soul.
For those who dare, Victory is available to everyone
that receives the sacred gift of the firstborn Son.
Give praise to the Passover Lamb,
the divine begotten Son of the Great I Am.

A Point Of Reality
In the world of possibilities,
Anything is quite possible,
Once there is the time,
Energy and will to face with courage,
The many chances of success or failures...
As long as every action taken
Is done with pride and dignity,
Success will be available
For a new and happy soul! ...
I don't want to live forever young
For my life would be extremely bored,
Watching the rest of the world
Everyday getting very, very old
While I am still remaining young...
With the rest of the folks,
I want to grow!

I Am The Whirlwind
Outside,
The wind breathes through me
As though it was alive
And I was the element
Cutting through the edges
Of time and stillness
With the angles of my mind...
A hollow shell washed out
From the Sea
Onto the shore of life
With the echoes of forever
Swirling inside...
I am the whirlwind
Storming through eternity,
Impressing my passing journey
Into the Earth's tranquility...

Moving On Ahead
You expected of me so much,
More than I could deliver
And from me you got the most
But you gave me very little in return.
You thought the World
Evolves all around you
Forgetting that life
As well as love
Is a two-way street!
Through you I have learned
The hard and painful ways,
No to depend on anyone
That fits your description.
I learned to love myself
More than anyone else
But still caring and loving
The rest of the World!
Now, I can't afford
To waste my precious time
On something that is not love
But just a game!
Please! Leave me alone
And get a new player
To join you in your game,
It is time for me to move on!

Gone With The Wind
What a surprise it would be
If we meet again, this time,
In the middle of a forest:
You, as a soft and healthy leaf
And me as a gentle wind!
I would take you away
To a distant secret place
Where we would never be disturbed!
Time would seem infinite
When caressing you all over
With my tender invisible hands
Along with your passionate kisses
That would transport us
Definitely to another dimension
Filled with ecstasy and lust!
You and me alone!
Happy together,
We would feel
Like on top of the World!
You, the amorous leaf,
Purposely detached from a tree
That was left way back behind
A which by now
Must be sadly missing you!
The leaf gone with the wind
And now having so much fun
With me (The Wind) !
Happy together,
In that distant secret place
Where nobody would find us!
Only the Mighty above understands
The reason why
We madly fell in love
In that daring escape journey
To this distant secret place!

the Way To Success
failure may outnumber success
failure is there
to make you strong
failure may cause pain
but nothing goes in vain
failure keeps you in touch
with reality
failure gives wisdom
failure gives experience
cowards don't fail
It's for the brave
who leave the shore
to sail into unknown
failure is a stop
in the journey of life
don't stop at the bend
today's failure would be
tomorrow's bigger success
failure is the cradle
in which success rocks.
failure is not a sin
failure is the first step for success
failure teaches you how to succeed
failure always helps in your success
failure helps you from failing
if you fail, it's not the end of the world
try!
success will definitely be on your way
so will run away your failure
but...
never forget your failure in life which helped you in your
SUCCESS

Before I Am Gone
Let my silence be
My faithful witness
And my written words
Become my un-erasable footprints…
Let my humble spirit
Lift itself up to the immense skies
And along with the dusty wind,
Spreads my sincere message
Of Peace and Love for always!
At this very moment of truth,
What can I possibly tell the World
That I haven't already told
A thousand times through my works?
What else can I say
About this passionate love
That I dearly harbor in my heart
And which I still strongly hold?
Let my honest message
Become the fountain of inspiration
For new generations to come
When my awakening thoughts
Are clearly reflected
In the mirror of time
As a living proof of my legacy
Proudly left behind
When temporarily I depart
To continue my unending journey
Through Space and Time,
Knowing for sure
That one given day,
I will be back
To this lovely Earth…

That Lime Can Squirt And Burn The Eyes
People will not accept...
Or have patience enough to believe,
They can achieve success if they wished...
Based upon their own merit.
And a willingness to be dedicated,
With a sacrifice of time.
Anyone who believes what one achieves,
Is based upon luck and having good genes...
Is not playing with a full deck.
It is best to be what it is one does,
To avoid disappointment of being in a limelight.
For many that lime can squirt and burn the eyes.

Sorrowful ocean
Life is like vast ocean,
Full of sorrow and pain,
Joy less and worry main,
Not to loose hope and energy regain,
To Learn a lesson from each failure,
Content with less and nothing to procure,
Difficulties more but patience to endure,
No immediate result but success is sure,
If life was ever to be smooth,
Who would pray and take oath?
Eat more and carry the weight
Sound sleep and get up late
Life and death are two parts of wheel
failure of any one may makes us to feel
Life may move on and doesn’t come to an end
Pray for success and ways to mend
who understands life but never lament?
No regrets but passing the comment
trying very hard to overcome the shock
Time never stops as clicks the time in clock
Hardship may give you endurance and strength
Will power to withstand and go to any length
No loss of face but to feel at ease,
Success to knock and failure to cease

The Poet's Fingerprints
Poems are like fingerprints to the poet,
Many may try to copy you
It is perfectly alright...
Others may try to steal your works
Or simply twist them around
And present them as their own,
Post them to world to see
However, once they go home
They must deal with their conscience
Since they know for sure
They have stolen somebody's else works...
Originality says it all
It is being unique in this world,
Therefore, if you can recognize the prints
It would be easy to know the poet...
And tell the difference
Between the real one from the fake...
Reputation is at stake
Only time can tell....
Read carefully and you will see
Make no mistake...

A Love's Return
Honesty is the best gift
Anyone can give on Earth!
I have nothing more
Than honesty
To give you totally!
From the bottom of my heart
I loved you passionately yesterday
And I still do so today!
Distance and loneliness
Became our common destiny
When time passes by rapidly
And the furious fire
That once existed in us
Turned into sadden ashes
Spread all over by the wind!
Only sweet memories remain
Of those golden years
We happily spent together!
Now, we can rebuilt
Over the same dusty ground
A more solid structure,
Stronger than ever
By learning from those
Silly mistakes we made yesterday!
Learn to fall in love again
With one another
Embedded with the same
Or more intensity
Of those golden years!
I have never left
From your now barren heart,
To all your friends
You have confessed
A thousand times
And likewise,
You should know
That you still vividly live
Within my heart and mind!
In my dreams you are trapped
Every single night!
The proof of my great love for you
Is clearly shown
In every one of my poems!
Now, you have a decision to make
If you want to come back to me!

Give a Child...
Proudly for Seth ~ Ryan who graduated as
an Aerospace Engineer last week!
Give a child a great education
You give them the world
Give a child science and math
You give them access
Give a child a sense of wonder
You give them joy
Give a child poetry, paint, l.e.d.s, aluminum foil and sparkles
You give them creativity
Give a child accountability
You give them integrity
Give a child an understanding of spirit
You give them faith
Give a child an entire community
You give them responsilbility
Give a child your undivided time
You give them security
Give a child a life by example
You give them the map for success
Give a child hugs
You give them love!

Savage Time
Savage cruel Time that in your claws we deposit our trust
And youth, and our joy, and our all, whole we have and hope
And what we are paid back by your deceitful trade? earth and dust
In that dark eternal final state of grave with no upward slope
You take us, pluck us from the world; before we mature our ways
Shut up, closed and wrap in shroud the story of our undone days
Ah, from this earth, this grave this dust none of us revive or last
We are gone abandoned by all around; left with no trust
Daily we count the clock that measures you Time
And we watch bereft of a brave day sinking into hideous night
Our violet timid and shy yields to you its prime
as our heads all silvered over with white
And nothing against your scythe can make defense still
Unless we breed our beauties forth to escape your eternal skill

It's time to act!
On the drug Menace
Drugs, drugs, drugs,
What do you get?
More than harm is its effect,
Oh! What a dangerous quest.
It’s time to act,
Get up fight for it,
Can’t let people lose their lives,
Can’t let them take the wrong side.
Use it one time,
And you want it again,
You’ll murder, you’ll kill
You’ll do anything it takes,
The game of murder it’s called,
Yes, it’s a dangerous game,
It’s not good for your body,
Nor for your soul because it just fades away.
