Let's Say You're Ready
by Turgut Uyar
Let's say you're ready for a trip
"This could be his loneliness as well" says someone
Let's see, are you tough enough?
What's your weapon?
First off, asphalt and cement
All of a sudden, you'd be surrounded by water
What's more, you don't even know how to swim
"These are leftovers from childhood"
Says someone who likes to joke
"He'd be beaten anyways"
Whereas to know the name of everything that I can't comprehend
Is oppressing ...

Mostly, It's Yours
by Turgut Uyar
Tell me to whom now it belongs this apple that I peel with care
You know that all I do with care now belongs to you
A man on his way to the water let's say should he tilt his shoulder
The sun, the water and the tilt of his shoulder all belong to you
You stand up, you befit your name, and you're right
The world that darkens as you ...

Stillness Speaks, Unlocking the Power of Presence (Popularity: )
http://www.paulfdavis.com
Stillness speaks
Quiets my soul to keep
Frees me to not think
That's right, no thinking
Oops, are you thinking?
I know it's hard to stop
Since the mind is persisting
It seems to continuously
Be fighting and resisting
Precious sacred solitude
The power of presence
Captivating effervescence
Intoxicating aliveness
Invigorating in stillness
An irony that stumps us
In a society that says do
In a culture pressuring you
To always perform and act.
How pleasant it truly is
To withdraw from all that
Sit quietly and meditate
Go within and ...

The Family At Christmas (Popularity: )
There is nothing more precious nothing more dear
Than God's gift of your family year after year
Each member is priceless far beyond compare
So gifted so talented quite unique and rare
Family at Christmas is much more than you see
More than the lights shining the gifts or the tree
Its time to look back on our gift from above
The purest conception of faith hope and love
The most beautiful baby was born as foretold
In himself ...

The Liberal Poet (Popularity: )
http://www.calling-plans.com
The liberal poet claims to be our friend,
To help us understand and protect us to the end.
They claim to be wise and men of the mind,
Yet all they produce for us is complaints with a whine.
Somehow we are drawn to their words,
But much of what they say is only for the birds.
With rhyme and verse and words of song,
They supposedly help us with what's right and what's wrong.
We are to ...

The Mad Coffee Lady (In English and Spanish) (Popularity: )
http://dennissiluk.tripod.com
But you My Mad Coffee Lady had God's Pity
Ah yes, you passed once our way
Some said (must have said): "They are all one
These vagabonds! " (A pest!) This was their song.
Her feet bare, frosted, benumbed
Chilled veins, like chains of iron
Hacked heart-yet she weathered the winters
With the night, ice cold waves of air-
"Victoria the Mad," of Huancayo: homeless.
Yes, yes! Slight were her arms,
Yet they held a tin can for coffee, ...

Unruly Tongue (Popularity: )
Unruly tongue
Always ready
To hurt someone
Unruly tongue
Careless and dumb
Deadly with devilish venom
Striking suddenly to numb
Subtle and belittling it comes
To steal your life and fun
Throw you into a tailspin
An emotional demise within
The unruly tongue tantalizes
Seeks to get and self-actualizes
Others it speedily despises
As it beguiles and disguises
Itself in tasty tender verbiage
Heartless beneath as garbage
Decaying and corrupting
Infesting and polluting
Portraying and purporting
Purity distorting and diluting
The unruly tongue likes refuting
Any confrontation that is hurting
Seeking to harness ...
