things when I get a sudden urge and usually it’s when I am depressed but happy
too. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy my poems and feel free to comment and

####see This Boy####

This boy says he is a king,
and he can be all he can be,
he lives life like royalty,
and love being who he be............

This boy shakes his head
over what people say...
he know,
he is not perfect anyway
but he don't let them get in his way.........

This boy has dreams,
dreams that will take his far,
he is ready to show the world,
his thoughts will make his strong...........

This boy...not a king,
this boy...not a perfect,
this boy...has a dream,
this boy is me and he the best,
no matter,
what the world see....

*********i Still Clamber After You..............

Daddy---
How I loved
to wear your big shirts
and
clamber after you on
the banistered stairs
Kissing your moustache
when you tickled my feet........

Daddy---
How I loved
to swim in your oversized coats
and
dance with lungful of your cologne.
Listening to your
barreled laughter.

When you had pick me up
spinning me until I fell dizzy.............

Daddy-----
How things have changed
since I was your little boy
and
once your little pappu.

Now you are no more,
and
yet I still clamber after you.........

****on The Brink Of......****

A wicked way the wind blows strong,
tighten the craft and strengthen the tie.
Ripping the sheets from the line does the
wind torment?

Stay the course,
though the waves rise high,
through the storm will the dawn arrive?
With the break of dawn will tomorrow come,
the rise of tomorrow will bring a new beginning?

........What A Silly Thing? ........

Aaaaah! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Finally I got a ticket to my dream,
I travelled in the adventure of me against,
many small flying things.
For I became a slayer with the famous killer hit,
Just one slap, they were scattered around my feet.

What a silly thing?

MOSQUITOES! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

..My True Love..

You are my everything
you are my lover and my friend
the one I confide to
when I am sad, happy, or I
just need someone to talk to
I love you and I can't wait
to be in your lap
you are my everything
where are you, Mom?
my one and only true love.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? Who Could Benefit? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

So who could benefit in what I will write?
Does common good remain insight?
What is good to the evil?
What is happy to the sad?
Can't everyone be pleased by the same thing?
Good is good happy is happy,
If someone frowns, you broke their rules,
If they never smile they are fools,
Who are they, anger trippers.?
They trip on anger.
So trip on good and pleasantness.

~~~~~~~moving With Purpose~~~~~~~~~~

Mist like,
veils of time slowly lift,
showing a path that seems to drift,
meandering as if by chance.
Life's map,
once scribed in youthful hues,
now guides in ways I didn't choose.
I attend skyward in askance.
I knew my goal.
I knew my way,
yet somehow I have gone astray.
Another's hand or just mischance?

Do I follow or do I lead?
as along the path I proceed,
to some promised heavenly manse?
I won't bemoan,
whatever my fate,
nor sing of my successes great.
Instead,
I will just enjoy the dance,
moving with purpose,
not adrift,
thankful for the mapmaker's gift,
a road to guide through life's expanse.

A Blank Page

A blank page lies on my desk
Clean and pure
It lines crisp and hard
I sit in front of it and take up my weapon,
my tool, my pen
It touches the blank sheet
I begin the dance of thought in my mind
The blank page
It taunts and teases me
It scares and thrills me
It threatens and entices me
It haunts and frees me
This must be how a painter feels
about a blank canvas
full of infinite possibilities
and infinite questions
I start
My pen plays across the page
It flies and leaves its trail of blue ink for others to read
These pages become thought incarnate.
