Restful sleep,

May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

Undisturbed by nervousness,
A trusting mind succumbs.
A consciousness secured and reaching…
As trees with branches home to leaves,
Blooming in the cleansing that Spring brings!
Kidnapped sensibilities!
Tossed and locked behind frosting freedoms.
Kidnapped credible loyalities!
Doubts pop like crops of killing weeds,
Strangling to smother a freshness once received!
Joyful children skipping free.
Under cloudless sky and beaming Sun!
Guardians watch within steps without concern.
In conversations full of promise!
Kidnapped smiles replaced by common frowns.
Playgrounds abandoned as swings decay with rust!
Suspicious neighbors spy…
As all try to make some sense of this!
Kidnapped in nightmares brought to life and frightens.
Trapped secured,
Enduring insecurities!
Paying the price for the kind of life,
Appearances kept expensively on a downgrade!
Restful sleep,
In safe and peace filled chambers.
Undisturbed by nervousness,
A trusting mind succumbs…
Slipping into assisted medicated dreams!
Free and released from conflict.

They’re robbing Peter,

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

And things are getting out of hand…To leave some feeling quite upset.A groaning moaning,Is heard from dusk ’til dawning.A smile once there…Is now a frown most give and get!Have we been hoo-dooed,By someone doing voodoo.What had been up…Is now topsy-turvy.That half filled cup,Is leaking towards the bottom.Could it be bad luck…That a rut is stirring…

Thick in the wilderness,

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

But you know,Some are too slow…To speed up with the flow,So…Bold are those who choose to break,From this mold.But you know,Some are too slow…To speed up with the flow,So…Hang,They do…To maintain.So…Hang,They do…With nothing to gain!Hey…Said,Thick in the wilderness,And trying to make some sense of it.But you know,Some are too slow…To speed up with the flow,So…Bold…

The leaves have always come,

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

Snowflakes descend in Winter,To have some create snowmen…And throw snowballs.Spring introduces Summer,With treats that sprout and bloom.If this is something you have begun to witness…Congratulations!More of these gifts,Will arrive for you to appreciate soon!You have awakened.And Mother Nature is thrilled to treat.

No one can teach

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

What to focus on.What to hear…And leave unheard!Like beliefs one has,Passed and receivedWithout an experience to reflect.When one acceptsAnd there has been no introspection…What one rejects,May be what one should not disrespect.Like taking something givenWhen it should be suspect!But how does on know that…To avoid heartbreak and regret?

What do you expect from me?

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

A show of gratitude…That we have ended our ‘beefs’?You waited much too longTo get off your ‘high horse’…Remove chips off your shoulders,Continuing our discourse!I know I’m not an angel,Even though I can pretend I’m one!But you didn’t want to pretend at all…Which left me rather hurtTo build this bitterness that has begun!You shouldn’t be stunned!There…

Intelligence can not be enforced,

Byammarkhan May 10, 2020May 10, 2020

To accept the limitating affects,Of their teachings.If people are lead to believe…An aspect of life that does not exist,But for them they can achieve…Then of course,Their efforts are going to be frustrating.It is like keeping faith in concepts,That are not real!But to the death they are embraced and held.When I realized Santa Claus did not…
