Poem

Death Be Not Proud

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not soe,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
John Donne


I Am Raferty

I am Raferty the Poet
Full of hope and love,
With eyes that have no light,
With gentleness that has no misery.

Going west upon my pilgrimage
By the light of my heart,
Feeble and tired
To the end of my road.

Behold me now,
And my face to the wall,
A-playing music
Unto empty pockets.
Douglas Hyde


A Desperate Cry

God's creation
Blessed to be born in this world
We all may feel that's the truth
Until I read this-
An abandoned baby
Malnourished, hardly an year old
Famine struck
Skin and bone
No food to feed
No water to have
Stranded alone in barren land
Helpless eyes staring straight
Standing legs more like a bamboo stick
Cerebral neurons popping out
Veins struggling to carry weak blood
Oh God! Nothing more I can add…
My heart is not strong enough
To read the rest-
A vampire vulture
Sitting beside and
Looking eager to end its hunger!
I pray! Save these innocents!
Let this never happen again!
Vijay Sai




I Remember

I remember your face
i remember your taste
those nights i was alone
i remember your words
i remember your voice
you were there
you took my fears
i remember your touch
i remember your love
i looked at you broken
you sewed me back up
i remember your heart
i remember your eyes
black in the night
i remember your tears
as they fell to my feet
i remember your cries
as you begged me not to leave
i remember your hate
i remember her
i remember that night
full moon set in the sky
I remember your face
scary misplaced
i remember your touch
lustfull, not trust
i remember your eyes
dark and full of lies
i remember your taste disgrace
i remember your face
as you carried me to my room
i remember you holding me
dropping me to the floor
i remember your look
scared and sorry
i remember my heart
and the thread coming undone again
i remember your words
soothing and kind
i remember your voice
when you told me good-night
i'll always remember you
i'll always remember my first love
i'll always remember the pain, the dark,
the good, and the light
i'll always remember you
i'll always remember




Lord Remember Me. Remember My People;

Lord remember me, remember my people
Remember each one
Remember those on the way to the African Coast
Remember those the was held at the Coast
Remember those the died on the ship's horrible conditions
Remember the Atlantic Slave Trade, Lord
Remember those that died on the way to the Americas
Remember each one Lord
Remember those unknown and those never returned home
Remember each one Lord
Remember me Lord, Remember my people Lord
Remember those who died in swamps
Remember those hung on the trees
Remember each one Lord, remember each one's name
Remember me Lord; remember each one of my people Lord
Remember those who names were unknown
Remember the rebels Lord known and unknown
Remember each mother's tears and each child they bared
Remember each one Lord, each one's face, each one's eyes
Remember my people Lord, remember me
Remember each one's fears, and each one's death Lord
Remember my people Lord, remember me

It was August I remember, I remember when I met her, She was perfect I remember...

It was August I remember
I remember when I met her
She was perfect I remember
in her body, mind and soul

In September I remember
I remember her all over
She was perfect I remember
in her body, mind and soul

In October I remember
I remember her all over
We were lovers I remember
in body, mind and soul

In November I remember
I remember lies she told me
She was wilful I remember
Wilful to the n'th degree

In December I remember
I remember it was over
Still, she is all that I remember
Love forever sweet Nicole

I dream...

I dream of floating away on a cloud
I dream of catching a falling star
I dream of my prince charming
I dream of how I’ll save him from the dragon
I dream of cows on the moon
And pink grass

I dream of old ladies knitting socks
I dream the twelve Olympians are real
I dream I’ll meet them someday
I dream of vast sugar cane fields
I dream of a bed of roses
And how prickly that must be

I dream of firefly friends
I dream of a lighting bug show
I dream of riding a striped horse down the aisle
I dream of hot air balloons
I dream of polar bears
And penguins

I dream of snow
I dream of rain
I dream of summer
I dream of fall
I dream of day
And night

I dream of the moon
I dream of stars
I dream of going to Mars
I dream of how I’ll be queen of the Martians
I dream of how I’ll love my subjects
And people always said I belonged on another planet

I dream of love
I dream of faith
I dream of hope
I dream of culture
I dream of life
And I dream sweet dreams.

Dream a Dream

When I dream the dream of paradise
I see a picture of you
And when I dream the dream of love and care
I see a picture of us two

And when I dream a dream of loneliness
I see a shadow on the wall
Looking back at me like
I’m nothing at all

But those dreams a quickly chased away
When I wake up to a sunny day
And I see your pretty face right by my side

When I dream a dream of smiling
The room is full of you
And if I dream a dream of candy land
The sweetest thing is you

And if the nightmare comes along
To say its fond goodbyes
The thought of you will stop it
before those dreams arise

Because with you sharing my bed at night
My dream will always come out right
And tomorrow will always be another day

If I dream a dream while I'm awake
That dream will be of you
If I dream a dream of wedding cakes
I’ll dream a dream of you

And when I dream a dream of a loving wife
That dream will be of you
And if I dream a dream of growing old
I'll be growing old with you

And if my dream were ever to come true
I know it will be because of you
And that’s the reason that I love you so.
Tim David Cook
