Quandary

May’s telling all and sundry,Her husband uses physical force.She’s in a quandary,If she should get a divorce. People consider her crazy,To dump a man so able.Things would be easy,If she’s more capable. Alas, she’s just a housewife,World centered on t...

Your bright eyesReflect the shiny moon.I feel nervous but niceThat we’ll tie the knot soon. We live in different cities,Had objections from father,But overcame the adversities,To finally be together. Uncertain to take the plunge,I need your reassuran...

Bells are ringing--- In my head.They’re warningAbout what you said.How do I distinguishWhat’s true or not?I’m in anguish,Emotions in a knot.Why have you lied?Was it once or was it twice?What is it you want to hide?Answers elude me, I’m so unwise.You...

Let me take your hand,And go to a faraway land.We’ll see eye-to-eye,When there are only you and I.Close your ears to the noise,--- There’s a choice.Let’s live without regard,Needless to be on guard.Forget about other’s empty talk,Hold your head up wh...

Poor Heart

Of all the hearts around,It was mine you’ve picked.Crushed it to the ground,The pieces you kicked.Without a second thought,Cast it out with no restrain.Even as mightily I fought,It rolled into the drain.If it was made of plastic,Not the flesh of my h...

I write not for fame,My works sometimes bring shame.I write because I like to share,Though they could raise your hair.Isn’t tricky if we put our hearts to it.But, humble pie I’m going to eat.Folks put me down; yet, I’ve the lovePerhaps I’ve a gift fr...

Rancher

Sitting on a bench,In this outback ranch,There’s nothing much here,No friends near.Animals roam freely about,Tend to by my good scout.All isn’t done in a hurry,The day goes by without a worry.In town is my representative,Keeps the business competitiv...

Funfair

A resident clown,Lips in a frown,Was chased by children,So he pretended to run. During the funfair,All who came openly stared,At the juggler’s amazing featFor grabbing items with his feet. People were clapping loudly,Cheering boisterously,Enthralled...
