How can we explain?

The sky is cloudless, coral after rain
A mad outburst as sudden as a rage
The sun is trembling as it slowly fades

 

Our people too are troubled and in pain
Where ever shall we find a trusted sage?
The sky is cloudless coral after rain

 

Each side  holds the other in disdain
No conversation. nobody’s engaged
The sun is trembling as it slowly fades


The suicidal kingdom’s  past remains.
The Empire a delusion  of  the age
The sky is cloudless, coral, after rain

The erudite  have no words to explain
What  produced the elemental change
The sun is shaking as it slowly fade

 

Fearing loss  we gather on the stage
There is  no  doubt  the leaders are deranged~
The sky is cloudless, coral after rain
The sun is watching  as we slowly fade

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My apology so far has been declined

I shall post my sins upon the Web
Sinners  may be cheered by reading mine
I have killed a  mouse, how very bad

I have  been annoyed  but now I’m sad
My sins are written underneath the lines
I shall post my sins upon the Web

If I get too scrupulous it’s mad
I’ll be committed or at least be fined
I have killed a   fly,  am I a cad?

I stood on my cat’s foot and hurt his pad
My apology so far has been declined
I shall post my sins upon the Web

Original and new, my sins  filled sheds
As I seek to  find how sin’s defined
I have killed a  spider   with black blood

No wonder that my  sins are  all now crimes
One  joined up with others, how malign!
I shall post my sins upon the Web
I have killed a  mouse, how very bad

 

 

He has taken umbrage at my words

He has taken umbrage at my  words
He does not trust my  love, now I feel  sad
Sentenced me to death, oh ,how absurd

Would he feel so  bad were I a bird?
Oh, stone the crows .He must feel I am   bad
He has taken umbrage at my  words

Is what I said or wrote what he has heard?
His rage is more than anger, he seems mad
He sentenced me to death, oh ,how absurd

Still ,from my writing I am not deterred
In a way, I have been feeling glad
He has taken umbrage at my  words

Though, a conversation I’d prefer
He must be   very sensitive, by blood
He sentenced me to death,  this life’s absurd

 

I shall not retaliate , throw mud
That might  bring uncivil war on us
He has taken umbrage at my  words
He  is sulking still, oh ,how absurd

Don’t love as if your map is reality

      A map's a guide to find a world

    Knitted by angels,plain or pearled,

    And though you need a map as guide,

    Keep your own eyes open wide.
   

    I spent a year caught in a map

    Until I found a big enough gap

    I crawled out through this exit slit,

    So here I am,like some half wit.
    

    Words can act like heroin,

    You live so high ,where I have been.

    But onto earth I gladly fall.

    The air, the sun, the rain is all.

    
    My senses are my lovers long-

    My ears,my eyes,my skin my tongue.

    The winds caress my naked flesh,

    To dwell on earth is all I wish.
    

    I'll live with mice and birds and plants,

    I'll share my food with miscreants

    I'll keep my words inside a tin;

    And only, now and then,go in.

    
    I'll live with cats and spiders three.

    And like a wild flower grow quite free.

    I' ll give my words to those who hear,

    And eventually I'll disappear

    
    Earth to earth then ash to ash

    When soaked with rain I shall disperse.

    My atoms wing like butterflies,

    And to the Flower I'll fly,disguised.
