O brownskin boy how you snatched my soul

O brownskin boy how you filled that empty hole

O brownskin boy that smile those piercing eyes

O brownskin boy how I believed your true lies

Condemned in the high mountains upon the sky
Condemned in the breathtaking day
 
Condemned in the night that enchants her eyes
 
In the look of the people that overtake her in the road

We live in a world...We live in a world where safety is just a word from the dictionary..where safety is just a norm and not an action..
We live in a world where people lack respect for the word human being.

And sing the gutter song bewildered
By relentless Ills and hunger
Then lose my tradition in that woeful stand-

When in the eternal lines of lusty spring provocative:
Waking drowsy flowers with the pattering sheen
And nature`s grandeur reviving in sweet array to full throttle;
I see beauty`s form quivering in the fine thread of the sun.

I Wonder What Gold Of Light

I wonder what gold of light cast darkness away every dawn;
Disembowelling the core of usurping fiends that rattle,
The unreposing beams of all eternity toiling their span
Full of goodwill and selflessness which none can imitate.

The becoming of a poet,not a mediocre bard;
Whistling low love songs into the sunset,
Revile Youth in self-righteous lines in bold
And seek the eagle`s view like a preacher upright.

I myself the sophistry caught`s in time`s rage;
Seeking sense `gainst this ephemerality` death,
The span perversity of hollow Youth love in rise
Denoting time with obstination midst the overreach.

Often The Grace Of Thought

Often the grace of thought and imagination;
Like the retreating waves upon the shore,
Is taken back in flight to relish stagnation
Picturing forth woes and dull way of life.

When by glory and honour the quest be mated;
The forever and ever seek of self-thrive,
By the streaming juice of passion unleashed
Seeking at once identity and identity at once.

When in whens the tirade in the rise;
A young blood bent in old tongue postulations,
The rhymes I sing reviling in sonnet verse
Seeking a higher opinion in all life`s aspects.
