OF LOVE

Let me cry this cry

Purge my soul of pent up frustration

And of pain welled up from listening to all of you lie

Silently, I have suffered in pain and damnation.

Let me dry these eyes

Scourged with hot tears which won’t stop

Pumped like a fountain which at the square spouts

Poison which if not flushed makes the heart stop.

Let me shut this frayed heart

Wounded too many times and brutally bruised

Listening to many lies, told by men wearing fancy hats

Gay, formal and some well worn and used

Still, I want to pursue this love that has gone sour

In hope that I can still restore its long lost luster.

 OF TEARS

I have seen it all before

The pain hidden on faces which come to the fore

As they walk past trying to keep up the eternal charade

I see it sitting long hours at the corner store window watching the parade

Behind the façade of the smile

Is where deep-rooted pain and sorrow lie

Lurking and threatening behind the thin veneer

In desperation and fear the smile shudders in despair

I have seen it only once

The man’s tears mixing in with the rain

Hiding his purpled face behind the pouring rains

He doesn’t know that I see his deepest pain

I salute the oppressed, depressed and suppressed

They have weathered so many brutal storms

They are so pressed

Yet, they smile like not doing so is out of form.

OF LAUGHTER

Fill the house with your cheery laughter

It brightens the day and makes the soul gay

Laugh then sing thereafter

In that sonorous voice which makes even birds sway

Sing and make the flowers blossom

Laugh and make the sun shine brighter

It is wonderful and sweet to wallow in that sonorous bloom

And that smile which bursts forth unbidden like fresh spring  makes the heart lighter

Peel off the pains and gloom of today’s filth

Laugh and forever make sorrow forbidden

Pure laughter not served in guilt

Makes life fun and very fulfilling

Always look on the bright side

And keep someone who can laugh gaily and truly by your side

OF HATE

Why?

It is a wonder when brothers maim and murder

Sad

How they turn against each other and plunder

Bad

The hate which strikes and lays love asunder

Mad

The senseless rage with which they commit this blunder

Why?

Again I ask in shame and wonder

Hate

If only I can find and lay you to rest forever!
