Terror?

You misused the powers I bestowed upon you…and look now they blame terrorism.

Bless

I bestow upon you,
The best in life & be amongst the chosen few,
And may you spread the joy of life,
To one and all, to end their strife,

May you whisper happiness in to their ears,
Bring on the smile and purge their fears,
Harbinger of a gleeful monsoon,
Rain bliss morning, night and noon,

May you have the power to heal,
And feed the hungry a full course meal,
May your every step taken be forwards,
Weave verve in all the spoken words,

May all the houses and all the streets be lit,
So be it.

A Moment

As she walks the aisle on the steps of heaven,
The wind holds no sway to her furtive love,
Her pink lips lock in tandem,
In a moment together in solitude

Empire

The pallid aura,
Once a rich golden throne,
A reminiscence of those glory days,
Now lies broken and thrown,

The grandeur of a majestic king,
And his exquisite queen,
Enthralled one and all,
But humpty dumty had a great fall,

The magnificent hallways,
Draped in silk and walls studded with many a gem,
Now cry in nostalgia,
The symbol of the once mighty realm

All, all withdrew, when needed most,
Threw their weapons on the ground,
They owe no allegiance,
Now a different king plays host,

The pomposity of the new valor,
Now breathes deep in his conquered world
As yet another day dawns to light,
A new kindled spirit is ready to fight

Wanderlust

Sweet memories of those getaway days, have begun to fade,
Memories of me playing under the mulberry shade,
With the feeling of the wind in my face,
How I miss those intimate escapes,

I’m packing my bags and I’m off tonight,
Pasqueflowers in disguise, I’m well out of sight,
A receding dot on the horizon, by noon,
I’ll be on the bright side of the moon

Attempt # 2

On their decayed minds,
A million maggots feed,
- A fetid thought
