[[Firesong]]

Born green we were
to this flawed garden,
but in speckled thickets, warted as a toad,
spitefully skulks our warden,
fixing his snare
which hauls down buck, cock, trout, till all most fair
is tricked to faulter in split blood.

Now our whole task's to hack
some angel-shape worth wearing
from his crabbed midden where all's wrought so awry
that no straight inquiring
could unlock
shrewd catch silting our each bright act back
to unmade mud cloaked by sour sky.

Sweet salts warped stem
of weeds we tackle towards way's rank ending;
scorched by red sun
we heft globed flint, racked in veins' barbed bindings;
brave love, dream
not of staunching such strict flame, but come,
lean to my wound; burn on, burn on.

[[A Dream Within A Dream]]

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

[[ Falling On ]]*|10:52 PM|

[[A Dream]]

In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.

Ah! what is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?

That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding,
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding.

What though that light, thro' storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth's day-star?

[[ Falling On ]]*|10:49 PM|

[[Faith]]

Since all that is was ever bound to be;
Since grim, eternal laws our Being bind;
And both the riddle and the answer find,
And both the carnage and the calm decree;
Since plain within the Book of Destiny
Is written all the journey of mankind
Inexorably to the end, since blind
And mortal puppets playing parts are we:

Then let's have faith; good cometh out of ill;
The power that shaped the strife shall end the strife;
Then let's bow down before the Unknown Will;
Fight on, believing all is well with life;
Seeing within the worst of War's red rage
The gleam, the glory of the Golden Age.

[["God Gave a Heart..."]]

God made a heart from gold, from gold,
Shining and sweet and true;
Gave it a home of fairest mould,
Blest it, and called it - You.

God gave the rose its grace and glow,
And the lark its radiant glee;
But, better than all, I know, know
God gave you, Heart, to me.

[[Changed]]

From the outskirts of the town,
Where of old the mile-stone stood,
Now a stranger, looking down
I behold the shadowy crown
Of the dark and haunted wood.

Is it changed, or am I changed?
Ah! the oaks are fresh and green,
But the friends with whom I ranged
Through their thickets are estranged
By the years that intervene.

Bright as ever flows the sea,
Bright as ever shines the sun,
But alas! they seem to me
Not the sun that used to be,
Not the tides that used to run.

[[A Poison Tree]]

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears
Night and morning with my tears,
And I sunned it with smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright,
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,--

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning, glad, I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree

[[Footprints in the Sand - The Poem]]

by Mary Stevenson

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

[[alone]]

I stand alone
my eyes shut, not wanting to see
I stand alone
the darkness closes in around me
I stand alone
shivering from the cold of the night
I stand alone
too frightened to go to the light
I stand alone
with no one to help or to guide
I stand alone
completely lost in my life
I stand alone
wondering, not wanting to know
I stand alone
sinking slowly into this hole
I stand alone
my rage transforming to grief
I stand alone
a tear fallen from a leaf
I stand alone
a mixture of heaven and hell
I stand alone
having a secret but not wanting to tell

[[standing alone again]]

Here I am standing alone again
Awakened deadened enflamed insane
Slashed up by emotions' invisible opponents
Poverty's available company
Unknown net personas
Feelings tearing like razors
At freshly healed flesh
You became a habit
And I deserve much better than this
Hiding away on a pill
A wing and prayer for another futile day
No need to feel
Who really cares what excuses you say
Certainly not I anymore
I gave you my love
You neglected it
Took it for guileless and granted
Smashed it on the floor
I couldn't give a toss your loss
Has made you poor
For I'll still stand alone
Amid the tumultous uproar
And you'll look in from the wings
Where you painted exit
Know what existed and that you lost it
It flew away
Praying for another dream
For another day

[[alone]]

Alone.. I stand by M.R.S.

I'm sorry
For not knowing your life was that bad
I'm sorry for thinking you were glad
Instead I found out, you were very sad

I thought it was fine, just you and I
I guess that was my problem.... I thought
Before you did your deed and fell into your eternal sleep,
Did you think of me and weep?

I sometimes lay in bed wondering what I did
And why you left me
When I'm not hating you for leaving me,
I lie crying because I'm alone

I have realized you died because you thought you were alone
But, I guess that was your problem.... you thought
Alone- you were not but, alone- I now stand
Praying and wishing to be hand in hand

[[Stand in faith alone]]

~ Stand in Faith Alone ~

I will stand in faith and faith
alone,

He'll give me peace and keep me
strong.

No matter what comes or may go
wrong,

I will stand by faith and faith
alone.

I'll walk with spirit and in
truth.

His
revealing power are my proof.

I'll walk with Him, not be
aloof.

I'll walk in spirit and in
truth.

I'll send His message to all who
hear.

The end is coming, do not fear.

When all is over there will be
no tear.

I'll send His message for all to
hear.

I'll show His way for all to
see.

He said "All you must do is
trust in me.

For I am the mighty Trinity!"

I'll show His way for all who
see.

He has shown me the future of
this earth.

The way He's preparing it for
rebirth.

The power of His sword and all
its girth.

He has revealed the future of
this earth.

The mighty force of His
redeeming hand,

Will spread fire and earthquakes
across this land.

With waters rising up from
desert sand.

The cleansing power of His Holy
hand.

No matter what may come or what
may go,

My name is in the Book Of Life,
I know!

For my Lord and Savior has told
me so.

And through Heaven's door my
soul will go.

If you believe my Savior died
for you,

I'll see you at God's throne, I
know it's true.

We'll sing His praises there as
here we do.

If you will walk in faith as I
do!

What a meander, What a kink...
The ecstasy....oh it has all gone in a blink!!!
What have I craved for and where have I landed....
Is this all what I wanted????

Is this a dream that will vanish...
Then the depressed thoughts I shall banish!!!
Sorrow it has no company....
Then why is it included in my destiny???
I don't know when I reached the pinnacle....
All I know is I am desperate for a miracle!!!

God though I wish not to complain....
I ask u unable to bear the pain!!
Is this a game, is this a ploy....
Or is this a penalty for the sins I employed???

My eyes see my love day in day out
So near yet so far
My heart feels the sense-defying energy
So powerful yet so feeble
My face glows in the luminescent source
So radiant yet so faint
My hands reach out to hold on forever
So honest yet so fearful

Patience, patience saves
Coercion enslaves
Respect earned
Precedes love yearned
Take care, take time
Haste is a crime

We are waiting for love, love the blessed thing
Some wait for eternity
Some are overcome by infidelity

We are waiting for love, love denoting strength
Some wear it as a mask
Some don it as an armor

We are waiting for love, love acceptance personified
Some get lost in the night
Some are cured of their fright

I wait for the right time, right place, right mode
I wait
Till its not too late.

Title :-Giving Away

Giving away a part of you
A vacuum never to be complimented
Falling in love tolls its due
Pock-marked solitude well cemented

Though the future has in store
A merry-go-round of ups and downs
You tend to shut out some doors
Smile less, and hide skeptic frowns

In this one act play of life
The less you feel, the less you show
Emoting is quite a strife
No joy felt, no tears flow.

13
Title :-I'm waiting

I'm waiting for someone to arrive,
Whose face will shine to light up my life,
I'm waiting for someone to care,
To spur me on and always be there.

I'm waiting for someone to love on,
Someone to lean on when the going gets tough,
I'm waiting for someone to say,
That I'm the thought every night and day.

Yes I'm waiting and that's all I shall do,
For these are my dreams they never come true.

14
Title :-Unknown Destiny

Two lonely hearts both destine for lovers,
Neither searching for the other,
They pass on a day to day basis,
Never really noticing one another's faces,
If only they could see...
Could see that they were meant to be,
But their hearts are hard and cold,
And their minds are on the one they used to hold,
The ones who did them wrong,
The ones they continued to love all along,
If they continue to live in the past,
Their pain will forever last,
Loneliness will be their death,
And it will eat them until there is nothing left.

15
Title :-Walking on the beach

As we walk on the beach hand in hand,
I remember all the times I wish I could be your woman,
But I will wait for you always and forever,
To leave you that will be a never,
For when I look into your eyes,
When I picture myself with you it is no surprise,
I wish you could understand what you meant to me,
But instead you say you don't know if it is meant to be,
Its hard being a woman these days,
Running around trying to get the men,
We want by using all of our ways,
I will wait until the day you tell me yes or no,
Until I will ever stay or go,
So please baby please,
I'm down on my knees,
Waiting for the day that you will come to my arms,
And for the rest of our lives we will have to harms.

16
Title :-You

You gave me that feeling of joy,
All I can do is enjoy.
When I listened to Pink Flow,
I think about that boy.
That I miss days and night,
And I wish that one day for me you will fight,.
And I wish one day you will be in my sight.
All I can do is wait until that day,
That you will be in my way,
And that you will say,
You are my dream of everyday.

17
Title :-You

As I lay awake, watching stars above,
I think about the time,
I'll find my true love.

He will be true, he will be fair,
He will be suave and debonair,
He will be gentle, He will be kind,
He'll tell me he loves me every night.

With his golden hair and amber eyes,
He will be true, he'll tell no lies,
Everyday I pray and pray,
For the day we'll be together.

From dawn till dusk my heart,
Is heavy like a 1,000 rocks,
If only we were together my,
Heart would be light as a feather.

But alas we are not,
So I'll watch stars above,
Untill I find my true love.

18
Title :-A Dream

I can feel your warmth in my arms,
I can smell the fragrance in your hair,
I can hear your wondrous laughter,
I suddenly realize that it was a dream,
I cannot feel your warmth,
I cannot smell your hair,
I cannot hear your laughter,
I miss you so much.

19
Title :-The Four Seasons of my Mind

The coldest memories of my mind,
Are like the winter snow,
My mind, it starts to crumble,
As the winds begin to blow.

When I'm with you it's like the spring,
When the flowers are in bloom,
I can breathe the warm fresh air again,
I feel I have more room.

When the leaves change color in the fall,
I'll wait for you until you call.
And in time the leaves will fade
Like the commitment we once made,
In the summer, when the weathers hot,
I hope by then I'm not forgot.

I'll think of you so brave and bold,
Until again the weathers cold.

20
Title :-Walking in the woods

I walk in the woods where we once were,
And remember the memories we once had.
Where u and I once stood hand in hand,
Where u and I once looked into each others eyes, And
where u and I once had one innocent kiss.
I walk in the woods where I fell in love with u,
Now I walk in the woods alone looking around,
And just remembering,
What we once had now that it is gone.

21
Title :-If only...

When darkness falls I think of you.
Skittishly you beckon me,
What can I do but follow you,
You' re the one that comforts me.
My eyes are open now, it wasn't true,
If I could only be with you.

22
Title :-You

We used to talk and laugh and play,
You used to want me every day,
What is it that we did wrong,
We loved each other for so long.

Up late at night we were on the phone,
And now we sit here all alone,
Your blue eyes, they don't look the same,
Who actually won our little game.

I see you every day and to myself I say,
"If only I could hold him,
Tell him everything's all right.
If only I could kiss him,
And be with him all night."

The day will come when,
We will see, that I need you,
And you need me,
And on that day my heart will cry,
Tears of joy for you and I.

23
Title :-Old Age Blues

I've grown old,
Even in the mild Calcutta winter I feel cold,

Three score years that I've left behind,
Keep coming back now in my mind.

I went to school holding my mother's bag,
In college for the first time held a girl's hand.

The day dreams in my classroom never came true,
But I could feel I grew.

My studies over, I got a job,
From one company to another I had to hop.

Some luck and connections saw me through,
To the top rung of a ship's crew.

Many lands I visited over the sea,
I became a gypsy, food and wine free.

A handsome salary left me with plenty,
To blow away in pleasures scruples scanty.

In every port I had a lover,
And night after night,
I spent under the cover.

No night could please my mind or body,
Every girl on the shore left me more thirsty.

In wine and liquor on the deck,
I drowned my desire,
The nerve-racking ache.

During the long nights I wondered in the cabin,
What could be the cure?
For the rain-soaking famine.

It came welling back, like up a spire,
A painful longing for the female figure.

My mind became a stormy sea,
And the surging passions were raising,
Strong winds inside me.

Myself a tiny ship under the vault of the brain,
Tossing and turning, striving to remain.

The waves were high the sweeping gail,
Blown to bits of scattered shreds,
My mind the sail.

Dark night, the ravaging sea ceaseless,
In the huge waves of passion,
I drowned hopeless.

The next day as usual I went to the beach,
A call girl was waiting, to love me teach.

In the old age home,
I now see the distant past ,
Reliving before me.

Like a blue film the scenes float before my eyes,
So far away from the real types.

The storm has died down,
No passion can now raise,
Dry water into stormy waves.

Myself is now a ship on the beach,
For breaking and cutting,
To sell as junk cheap.

[[A friend]]

Title :-Around the corner I have a friend

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end.

Yet the days go by & weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friend's face,
For life's a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine if we were younger then,
And now we are busy tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

"Tomorrow" I say "I will call on you Jim"
"Just to show that I'm thinking of him".

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner! yet miles away,
"Here's a telegram Sir"
"Jim died today"

And that's what we get and deserve in the end,
Around the corner, a vanished friend.

[[wrong address]]

A man checked into a hotel.

There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife.

However, he accidentally typed a wrong email address, without realising his error, he sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned from her husband's funeral. The widow decided to check her email, expecting condolence messages from relatives and friends.

After reading the first message, she fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My loving wife
Subject: I've arrived
Date: 15 Dec 2005

[[Precious Little Friend]]

Precious Little Friend
It's time to rest your weary head
One last time
And though I know it's time to say goodbye
It's breaking my heart in two
I just hope you know
How much I love you so
Precious Little Friend

I know your time has come
So thank you for the love you freely gave
Oh how you romped
I try to think of how it used to be
Back when you still could see
How you bounced and played
And watched the squirrels all day
Precious Little Friend

So goodbye my little friend
I'll stay beside you till the end
I'll see it through
Just like you stayed right by my side
Everyday of your sweet little life
I will hold you close
And whisper in your ear
"My Precious Little Friend"

I can't believe you're gone
I look for you all day long
And try to be strong
Oh what I'd give to touch your sweet, soft fur
And hold you just one more time
But it cannot be
I have to set you free
Precious Little Friend

I wouldn't trade the time we had
For anything
Goodbye My Little Friend

[[poem...]]

RaInBoW bRiDgE

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

[[A story...]]

HOW COULD YOU?

When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend.

Whenever I was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent and roll me over for a bellyrub. My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together.

I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love.

She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy.

Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love."

As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent -- and I would've defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.

There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.

Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family.

I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers."

You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life.

You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me.

When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room.

A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.

She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?"

Perhaps because she understood my dog speak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place.

And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.

A Note from the Author: If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as you read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of the millions of formerly "owned" pets who die each year in American & Canadian animal shelters.

Tell the public that the decision to add a pet to the family is an important one for life, that animals deserve our love and sensible care, that finding another appropriate home for your animal is your responsibility and any local humane society or animal welfare league can offer you good advice, and that all life is precious. Please do your part to stop the killing, and encourage all spay & neuter campaigns in order to prevent unwanted animals.
