POEM 284
EXAMINATIONS
As I try
to study her
with my eyes...
She examines me...
as if I'm not human
but something else.
Perhaps she is searching
within herself ...
And suddenly
she smiled.

POEM 285
AN ANSWER
Is she truly beautiful..?
Yea...
This is the only question.
that has haunted my life.
Long have I pondered...
So much breath have I sighed.
But the answer..
Eludes.....

POEM 286
PROUD LOVE TURN GODDESS
With great feelings for her
The one I wish to make smile
She refuses to accept my love
She is like the stone
of which idols are made
And beauty veils cruel behaviors
making her seem like a goddess
_____
POEM 287
TORTURE
Never Yes
Never No...
Always avoiding my question
She sits in silence
As I make my pleas
cruel silence...
But sweet her actions
kindness her way
This beloved...
She sets me on fire
with one of her smiles.
I begin pleading again.

POEM 288
BROKEN TIES
When at my side
She hugs me
like I am her own
When she is gone
There she stays...
And I feel forgotten
She never looks back
And if I should call out
I doubt she would look.

POEM 289
TRAGEDY OF
21st CENTURY
Now ...
The beauty of life
fade into dreams ...
Those ...
who for love's sake
Sang sweet songs
at our doors...
Are now
gone ....
And silence
fills the air.

POEM 290
IN A NIGHT
Yesterday ...
before sunset
The people ...
Their homes ..
The ways ...
were as always
Last night...
lines were drawn
things changed
what was...
is no more.

POEM 291
CHILDERN OF ADAM
Language is no barrier
To understanding ...
Its the eyes that will not see
Pretending to be blind
For pictures speak
In every language
Just look ...
The feelings ...
The desires ...
The behaviors
Men acting like animals
Together
We carry the photographs
the expired coupons
Humanity lost....
The mounting dead
share common ground
Broken ties
Need of mending.
_____
POEM 292
SELFISH TIES
People could be happy ...
Its not heaven's imagination.
If only they look beyond
their selfish nature.
It seems so odd
So many tied
by a thread
so easily broken.
_____
POEM 293
THE STRUGGLE
Eternal struggle ...
Me and my heart
always in battle
The issue the same.
I would burn
into the ashes
for the sake of my love.
My heart ...
With a will of its own
Makes its way
to the heart
of every beautiful girl
I happen to meet..
