A cat pursuing mice
seems never
to think twice;
an owl swooping on prey
shows no thought
of delay--
Then enters man--
expressing volition,
a higher moral ground
of conscious
contrition--
yet kills for sport
as well as nutrition…
Oh! on occasion
for God
and country….

Oh! Mighty kings, how many of you have been cursed by a beautiful silhouette.
How many of you have willfully fallen unto treacherous ground.
You have been poison by her pleasures and in her labyrinth you reside, for love is her poison, and desire is a trap.
King no more, but a broken man, for before you a woman exults herself, and in her nakedness –your death lies.

Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn’t life enough?

How can he exist?

Happiness in a Wrong way – Zamreen Zarook
In the notion of seeking happiness,
I thought of stepping in to nonsense,
I dream I could find success,
But I had only little access.
Every attempt that I lend,
It was an utter failure at the end,
My life was full of difficult bend,
But God is always there as a good friend.
My deeds travel in various ways,
Some times in subways,
Or in times it goes in highways,
But I had the belief, God is there always.
North and south families surrounded,
East and west friends are rounded,
Every time fear on death soughed,
I am trapped, and my merits are loaded.

God made all people
But some better than others?
Stop being silly.

The body: sacred
We’re all made in God’s image
Hence... circumcision?

Anacreontic Verse
I’m feeling so blue.
My tears fall
drip, drip, drip.
Eyes bright red
as the deluge flows
unceasingly.
My broken heart aches
and cannot be fixed …
such intense pain
so deep inside.
Why did you leave me
all alone,
expecting me
to soldier on
without you?
I don’t need
a photograph
to see your face
as it is printed
indelibly
in my mind.
Your parting
was so sudden.
No phone call
or letter
just intense silence.
Drugs took your life,
but your memory
will live on
forever.

baby, death,
From the very moment you were conceived I loved you
I could feel you kick, as a new life grew inside me
One day you stopped moving, and tragically I knew
Holding my newborn baby was never meant to be

When you died
I couldn't write a poem.
I felt too deeply,
or I didn't feel enough.
Or maybe I died too.

cry, death, grief, pain,
Scar me deep cut me wide,
write me into suicide.
Suffocate by deadly breath,
taking everything that's left.
Leaving me the empty soul,
to carry on but his not known.
Painful screams and fearful cries,
write me into suicide.
Brutal seems the only call,
fearful shadows melt and fall.
All I've loved is gone away,
I'm pleading for someone to stay.
Selfish me with all my pride,
wrote me into suicide...

Is it the rhythm in life
That we have issues and strife
The rhythm in life is a beat
A beat that puts you heart out in the street
The street is where it all goes down
It goes down to make you frown
Some people laugh and play
Other people sit and stay
We all want to wear it
And even compare it
In my room sometime strain at the wall
In my mind hear my conscience call
In life alone
We don’t pick up the phone
And we lose the milestone
The trust of the fact that
We are not all that!

I'll get better, one day.
I know I will.
I just have to keep going this way,
and try not to fall down this hill.
Sure, I'll fall out sometimes,
but if I don't, how will I learn?
These are the times-
it's strength, I'll earn.
It takes time to get better,
it takes time to be happy,
but I know if I do this with her,
I'll no longer feel crappy.
This is the time to change,
the time to smile,
time to leave this range,
and run the mile.

A serpent underneath blue sky,
in shade of man, in twinkle of an eye,
above brick wall, in the structure, at the floor,
venom of white dove; contaminated food, undrinkable water,
misguided youth, pregnant daughter, unfaithful father and hateful son,
mothers do pray while we walk through Babylon;
on teli and in the press, on top shells,
price none the less, in bedroom and at your door..
dawn of a new day seemed to be dark,
after all.

To die before you die is worse then death itself.
Time doesn’t stop as you are sprung backwards.
Now you have to climb forward.
Desperately yearning to revert to your normal self.
Desperately wanting something to spring you back to where you were, happy.

Sinking in deeper,
No way to escape,
The dark and scary Reaper,
Fore told in the Book of Life.
Is this my end?
Will I ever see the light of day again?
No. My wounds, I must mend.
I must find my strength.
Stand my ground,
Face my fears.
Only then will my voice be found
I must survive.
Break the suffocating chains,
Run from the darkness.
Power will fill my veins.
I will Fight!
Fight the painful names,
The horrid memories,
The demented games
And escape My Black Abyss.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned,
for being born with you to begin,
its been a long time since my last confession,
I don't wont your blessing,
lies and resurrection.
I don't believe in love, I don't believe in faith,
cant stand my own kind,
humble in hate,
I don't believe in truth, I don't wont to be saved,
erase me from your list,
buried, unmarked,
graved.
Abused as a child,
bloodstains of a man,
only shovel awaits,
forgive me if you can.

How do you expect me to be less of a pessimist and more of an optimist. When you’re pessimistic about my optimism.

We know her future could be bright
If not for death that snatched her dream
She was the queen among her mates
The few she left here said it all
If not for death that snatched her dream
While on earth she nurtured the best
The few she left here said it all
A jewel worth many to pens
While on earth she nurtured the best
She was the queen of her mates
The few she left here said it all
We know her future could be bright

Hither I stand, at crossroads,
And then I gaze, at the yonder end-
The vague horizon from where I began;
And all that I may ever deem
Is that- my days
Have been a waken dream.
Hither I stand, at the edge of my dream;
Then I wonder, at the depth of my trance-
An adventurous journey through the wondrous woods;
An idyllic stroll through the vicissitudinous meadow;
And from the final station as I depart,
All that I can ever say, is that
Perpetuation has been a rouge
Of fleeting phases of my life.

Sharon why do you come?
Sharon you were not my
Confidant nor my peer
Could you be some long
Transcended
Ancestor ?
You are the only
One who has come,
More than one time.
Met you in this lifetime,
When you were here.
My spade partner
Sometimes.
It would seem likely.
Family would look in..
But it's Okay, that it's you,
You're the only
One that has
Made it known.. that
Every goodbye
Ain't gone. One day
More will be revealed
As to the meaning
Of your communication;
As you seem the most unlikely
Too attach yourself to my soul station.
“Sharon, I think I now
Know why have you come"

A rose that is at full bloom
and the color is pure and the pettles are calm
and dance along with the blowing of the wind
they have a smell, that is divine,
but doesn't bring back no special memory.
Now a dead rose,
that has a smell
that has no definition
that has no pain
it is just there
and it doesn't cry
and it doesn't sigh
it just sits there,
burning away when the sun hits it,
without remorse
without blinding courage.
The dead rose just sits there,
and the smell is so sweet
it brings back memories
that make you cry
and sigh
and sometimes,
laugh
and
smile a little.
Sometimes the dead things
are more beautiful
than the living,
but that is just my opinion,
what do you think?
