A Dose of Laughter
I'm not well. Can't you tell? Mirth will heal my every ill Glee can revive, keep me alive I'd crawl a mile for a smile; Isn't it plain that I'm in pain? Laughter is pure and can surely cure. I can't be strong for very long. I don't need a pill for my ill. I must retain what still remain; Though insecure, I want to endure. Even though, I don't know It works somehow, so come on now; If you wait around I'll surely be found Rev. Saundra L.

Learn About Love From Poet Rumi In this modern age of technology, busy lifestyles, and obsession with consumerism have taken a lot of the romance and love out of our lives. The Internet has become a medium to connect with people as everyone is finding it a lot harder to meet one another in the 'real' world.

Little Girl from Huancayo [a poem/in English and Spanish] Little girl from Huancayo An Old Wood Pile [a poem with notes] Old skin, once held tight Against her skeleton- Rose no more, just draped Loosely over unpadded flesh; Un-tightened muscles, and tissue, Lost its courage, no-fortitude-, Gone are the days and years That stood against the Indomitable elements; The skeleton, now a landmark Hidden under flesh and blood Guts and moral fiber, backbone? Collapsed from drudgery Time, time: cascading inside-. Bones now leaving impressions Accepting fate Like tarnished silver!... Hands look like autumn leaves Fallen from a tree Winter's around the corner The door of time is closing Like an old wood pile Being burnet up- Hard to open things Hard to do anything Precariously balanced- Painfully slow? You Lost Your Last Gamble and Me I will never think twice nor will I roll the dice When it comes to my life I will take my Grannio's advice The Valley Of Pain We were exiled from the Garden of Eden. Its sinless wonders nevermore to regain. So every man on life's toilsome journey, Must enter the valley of pain.
