Humanity

It’s easy to know
that you know not
but then learn,
As it is to
cipher reality
but then discern.

It’s as difficult to
keep an open mind
and not to think,
as it is to
open your eyes
and not to blink.

It’s important to be arrogant,
self-conceited and egocentric
yet keep your humility,
As it is to be immune to feeling
and impervious to pain
yet keep your humanity.

Substance Of Women

Who burns more than that of sun who can scorches?
Women, yes women can impute more chars and patches

Who embraces more intimately with full attachment?
Women, yes women embracing take away to another planet

Who is that burning one whose absence makes the heart cipher?
Women, yes women twisting the heart fetches torture

Who is she causes wave in like sex urge at evening spreads fragrances.

Loss in both ways

When I had vigour
I had no valour;
When I gathered valour
I had lost my vigour.
End is zero.

When I was eager
The means were meager;
When I grew richer
I had lost to be eager.
End is cipher.

When I was pretty
I was shy;
When I outgrew shyness
I had shed my beauty.
End is at naught.

When there was youth
No means to adorn with;

Remembering an Arrow

I put this cipher to my memory
In the hope of elongated archery-
The proof of worth is in the arrow,
A blade may construct as narrow,
It is an arrow of waking worship,
Cinematic performance of a buildup.
The world has listened to my sound,
The sound of an arrowhead beating background.
My age grappled my weight
In overspread charm to evaluate.
The arrowhead is sharper than the quiver,
My lover, my loving friend is going to shiver.

Super-Rich

I am a unit of time, so long for my age,
This creates special energy in my cage.
The need for complex questions to cipher
Is so large-hearted, so large in scale, please no blunder.
I am united as I stand, and when I sit down,
The whole clown aborts in front of my crown.
I am a throned man who sticks glue in heaven,
I wanted that clown to carry out an ablution.
This job to be done is so wildly contested,
But my spouse can learn more as I have abdicated.

Sonnet: Man’s Life Today

Modern man’s life is almost cipher;
There’s no time for anything of mettle
Precious time’s lost to problems decipher
O’er is his time before he can settle.

Mans keen on the money value of things,
Their durability and guarantee;
In virtuality man dances and he sings
Abhors man, the thought of reality.

Life is spent in pomp, show and worthless friends;
God is forgotten and so is man’s soul;
Man is clumsy in his means to his ends;
His current concerns distract him from goal.

Science has compelled man to abandon God!
Man considers himself a powerful lord.

Sonnet: Heaven’s Our Goal

Oh, never mind if you’re just a cipher,
In things of earthly mould and clay domain;
Your origin’s from clay- well decipher!
Your soul off sin, you always must regain.

And like a Phoenix, you must rise from dust,
Tho’ dead by sin, a mountain-load in weight;
For, victory with the devil is a must,
And love of God will arrange for souls freight.

How can one live in luxury on earth,
And be a saint all life at the same time?
How can one attain Heaven without birth,
Or do misdeeds, yet make one’s life sublime?

What if you gain the world but lose your soul?
For Salvation to each one is prime goal.

Levenslang Stil

.

Here within lies
a recollection
of large talons
that tear smooth

creamy flesh

a cadence ricochets
off paint peeled walls
of the clatter as soles
strike dry dirt and stone

blood rushes

two sets of eyes
squint and scan

Only Being

Walking the path with otherness;
not achieving anything,
I, condemned, to remain solitary, decline
to join the gods of a crowd. So that
my sun, remains shadowless.

No, it is not the final verdict.
I was always incomplete, unburdening
my cipher, failing against the blood
that demanded uninterrupted flow, blending
right and wrong. My words were too much

to say No. The melting snow remembered
the names of the trees. On the breast of
earth a signature theme plucks the
grass to make way for the rose beds. This
makes no secret of betrayal.

Less prudent, I blunder, try to untie myself
from future, and become little me, playing

The Lifer

The Lifer
Eye feel so sorry for someone that cares for only work and cannot have a little fun it seems so sad to me they cannot use the world to live or love but robot only seems to me a fate as worse as any death has come to those in work zones he looked for all the world a sad sad man when he said there is only work related things allowed on his bulletin board in the work zone land. He has helped me many times but now he told me with his eyes that eye am just a cipher in his life he died when he signed up for cash a lifer stuck upon the number given him when job was given name a number in the zone a lifeless thing a lifer come to stay how many gentle readers have the number or the name just like the lifer man the game is god the thing is done now no new information in the lifer zone allowed. No Soul.
