Foolish Things

I’ve done so many foolish things.
My selfishness has caused many sufferings.
Most of all I’ve sacrificed the one I love,
Forcing her feelings aside with a shove.
I must control myself and now…
To live without her love I don’t know how.

On Behalf Of

I speak on behalf
Of the lost souls
Who can't laugh,
For they're like holes
Who attain but half
Of their life's goals.

Those who can't cry
Are worst than the sad
And I'll tell you why.
It's because they never had
A reason to sigh
From a feeling of glad.

Halloween

Halloween is quite a scene
Of fun ghosts, witches and more.
Trick-or-treat makes it complete

If you know what it’s all for.
Pumpkins smile a little while
Then are eaten or thrown away.

You'll have fun with every one
If you need a mask for just this day.

Embers

As I sense the here and now,

I can’t help but marvel how

This moment rose like an ember,

Once extinguished, few remember.

Though the warmth from its glow

Lives here and now if we know

That in this life all-to-fast

We must sense embers while they last.

Change

Critical challenges complicated change causing
Half-hearted habits hindering, halting hope.
Audacious actions address America’s ailments as

Nation’s newly named navigator now
Garners group genius goals generating
Exciting efforts, emphasizing efficient execution.

What Could Have Been

What could have been is mere space.
It places last in any race.

What happened is what counts.
What could have been only amounts
To wasted time and much despair…
Not cold facts, but just hot air.

What could have been deserves a spurn
Unless it provides a chance to learn.

Cajole Me Not

Cajole me not dear ego.
Leave alone my heart,
As I suffer so
Remembering the start.

The start when love was here
Brightening my day.
Now it’s push and shove
With strangers in the way.

Cajole me not dear ego.
Leave alone my heart.
As mind and body flow
In directions far apart.

Bedevilled

In vain, in vain may I explain
A conundrum of much pain.
Whilst I seek its answer, what’s to gain
Since I’m bedeviled in its twain?

My entry and exit, not of my refrain,
But my saunter between bears my vein.
What truly drives me nearly in sane:
Doodlers who dabble, but then abstain.

You Forever

You’ve changed my heart forever.
Never again can it sever.
Never again will I feel lonely,
Only because of you.

My fears are gone;
I’m able to move on.
I always feel new
Since I’m with you.

No matter what I meet
My life is complete;
Happiness always in view…
Forever, because of you.

Inspiration

If inner inkling ignites image, intelligent ideals indelibly inaugurate it.
Imagine involvement improving immobile, inequitable inefficiencies.

Insufferable, inconsequential instances invite indifference in individuals.
Inversely, inspiration is infinite impact initiating improvement immediately.
