Poet's Respite

A collection of poetry. Relax, unwind, and enjoy

A Thought

on days like these I asked myself if I have conscious reason of understanding the way of the world in this day as we go round the mulberry bush one more time

A Slice of Life

From the sky, under nature's umbrella, falls the white rain of last night's moon as I step outside to the porch and immerse myself in the innocence of glory.

Alone - I stood

Alone - I stood Trembling, shivering

An Empty Face with Soulful Eyes

I met an Indian woman who wore her societal veil

Buddha Buddy

I stepped in from the cold Warmed my fire to the bone Under a roof of my mind What vacant realities dare I find?

When the World Ends?

When the world ends, Will I be standing, When the world ends, Will I be alone, When the world ends, Will there be happiness, When the world ends, Will we have to atone,

Moments

You ever stared down the starry sun as it glows through the morning haze? Brilliant white globe dancing on the fingertips of the eyes! Or seen the death in the eyes of the demon-less doe as the mad bullet rushed for the space between the eyes?

Two Paths Merge as One

Hear me sing my song left unsung to the world Listen as I speak, to myself- my only audience For I have tried and I have failed to convey my words once again Undeserving of the notoriety of the rest

Duality

Silent minds cause silent bodies Restless minds cause restless bodies Ambivalence causes chaos Control causes revolt Power creates greed Greed creates power Anger creates troubled minds Peace creates calm minds

The World

I’m just sitting here wonderin what to do Confused that I know everything can’t be true Not sure anymore when I’m gonna die Maybe one day I’ll go mad Or I’ll get tired and try

Why?

Why are some people sad when happiness is all over the place?
