The finger and a ring―
a story of bonhomie;
if you live precariously.
Difficult when you are perceptively nimble.
I would like to take off―
any clinger.
If you live in a crate, ―
there is no escape.
The pollination has stopped.
The washed bees will not go anywhere―
in this rain.
The bumbler will strike
when you are eating the poem.

(Fear)
You said you didn't want me in your life
me
fear
Before me
you looked in the mirror
Every day unable to see potential clearly
And then one day out of no where the
Mirror split
fell to the floor
glass everywhere
now you see the 24 different personalities and one beast unwilling to leave
I helped you block out
them and other problems
You was a sad gangsta
you cried emotionless tears
Cause pain was something that you couldn't mentally endure
I gave your life a new purpose
Now you can go around claiming that
Your a way better fixer than the person hire by the number one famous blacklister
So Instead of
standing in front of your own problems
I gave you shoes to run away from them Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act
I gave you the skillz
To help everybody else with their problems
Hiding from you own
I gave you a career
Plus
Without me
You're like Batman
Without the gear
you can't strike your enemies
without fear
(Me)
See I like how you bring up old wounds
Continually trying to hurt me
Leaving my body motionless
Using me like Pinocchio
And your controlling the strings
Putting me on display for all to see
There's always somebody trying to hurt my Pride
I will not let you scar me
I am not your slave
I will not let you Cinderella me
I am not Genie I will not let you cuff me
Even if You could fly to a star
Find the means to find a solid form of Mercury
I will not let you rock me
I will not let you run around and destroy my dreams
this is not Elm Street
But
You're right fear
I been overwhelmed with internal doubts
I feel i been marching through deep muddy waters
Seaking
feeling like every hour I was about to drown
And it's like you lowered the tide
you know my mind is a minefield
One wrong decision one wrong move
My mind would explode into pieces
You took me away from focusing on me
Fear I understand your reasons
I need you
even though i believe your birth place i from that fallin angel
I want to
use you like spike Lee
And try a different angle
So
today I'm rewriting our contract
You will no longer appear unannounced
I will assess the situation and see if you need to come out
You will no longer stop me from expressing my limits
( Fear): But I bet your not ready for rapid fire judgment
(Me)
Why would I care
you help me judge myself every minute
But you forget
Batman didn't need any Gear
To give scarecrow fear
No more moving around willy-nilly
The anxiety you place upon me
Let's use that heightened senses like
Spider-Man
dodge problems but only if necessary
And if you can't follow these Simple Rules
I'm going to treat you like a job without pay
Because I'm only dealing with you voluntarily
I am the king
and my soul is the ring
i controls all my mental thoughts
and my physical movements
I'm taller than two towers
You
been
whispering in my ear with dark demonic powers
Even though you stay in the same room as my
Crown and my throne
Act up this again
I will throw you down some stairs
ship you on a wooden small boat throw you a paddle and you can go... Row han

It is pouring.
You can feel, smell and touch
the rain. A river of qualms―
starts swelling. Watercress―
will decide the fate of water.
Do not consent to switch off
the amplitude. You cannot drink the sky.
Keeping the lexicon― of road map in order.
The scope of communiqué
expires, if you do not offer the apology
for dousing the snow with
conspiracy and setting it on fire.
A daring attack takes place
to avenge the insult of mountains.

Its when your not around.. that makes me realize...
All the things I tell myself.. are nothing more than lies,
I'll say that I don't need you.. pretending that's it's true...
But when you're gone.. and it's just me.. all I want is you,
I'll tell myself.. don't fall in love.. for love will never last...
But I know too well.. to save my heart.. the time has long since past,
I thought at last.. when I found love.. how perfect it would be...
Everything would fall in place.. and we'd never disagree,
But "perfect is a fairytale".. life is what is real...
Happy.. sad .. content..or mad.. this is what we feel,
I guess I should surrender.. I could never walk away...
For if never there was darkness.. there could never be a day,
I will always love you... and we'll always disagree...
So I will learn to look beyond.. to just the love I see.

The sun came up again today.. and though you're still not here...
I can't see a reason why... that I should shed a tear,
But I wipe my eyes.. and I go on.. to face another day...
While the shadows of your memory.. in my head begin to play,
After all the years.. after all the times.. after all that, we've been through...
How could you "turn and walk away"... while I'm still in love with you,
What more to life.. is there than love... though some shall never know...
But I can barely breathe at all.. for my heart will not let go,
What words to say to touch your heart.. and bring you back to me...
To show you all the love we had... and what it still can be,
If just once... I could turn back time.. to the day when we first met...
For one more chance to get it right.. and live without regret.
steve, 25 june 2019
I've tried so hard to get along.. but all we do is fight...
And the tears I cry may fall like rain... but I'm alone again tonight,
Goodbye would be so easy.. if I wern't in love with you,
One step forward, and two steps back.. have never been so true...
It breaks my heart.. that we found love.. but were going down in flames...
For even love can't save us now.. as we play our little games,
I thought that we could make it.. that love could conquer all...
As I'm hanging on for life.. from this long and lonely fall,
And though my heart is bleeding.. I just can't say goodbye...
My love for you won't let me go.. I think I'd rather die,
Together we could have it all.. why can't I make you see...
That all that you've been searching for.. is here inside of me.
steve, 25 june 2019
My mind wanders.. with thoughts of you.. I'm so grateful for your love...
And just why on earth.. of all the hearts.. its mine you hold above,
I can't think of anything.. to deserve someone like you...
For anything, is what I'd give.. to have you love me too,
I shouldn't tell you.. how I feel.. when I look into your eyes...
Or just how high it takes me.. you chose me of all the guys,
And I won't say, how warm it feels.. to hear you say my name...
Or though we've kissed a thousand times.. its never quite the same,
Or even that my blood still boils.. long after your lingering touch...
While pretending "I don't give a dam".. when your love I need so much,
Should I hide the fact.. that just your kiss.. sets my soul on fire?
And never mention.. the ragging battle.. of my uncontrolled desire,
If I told you how I really felt.. would it change the way you feel?
Would you look at me the way you do.. and say you love me still,
Or do I let the fires burn.. and the chips fall where they may...
For "heaven's on earth".. right here.. with you.. and its where I want to stay.
steve, 25 june 2019
The first thing that I noticed.. when I laid eyes on you..
Was your beauty and how it emanates.. in everything you do,
Something "more than just hello".. drew me when we met..
I looked into your chocolate eyes.. and broke into a sweat,
With cinnamon skin so beautiful.. my senses began to spark..
Setting off a fire inside.. that raged well into dark,
I couldn't stop thinking about you.. or get you out of my head..
So I rewound every moment.. and replayed what was said,
I wanted to be with you.. to know just who you are..
To hear the story that you live.. and how you came this far,
Everything about you.. from your head down to your toes..
Was everything I needed.. but I couldn't let you know,
I know that I can't keep you.. and I know that it won't last..
But I'll always have the memories.. to relive a time that's passed.

Grazing on the clouds,
moon was moving
in a daze.
Someone will milk it
for the poor, who will not
sing for the inevitable.
Witch hazel will stop the
bleed of unholy wars
between the diminutive fidelities.
This was the beginning
of a dialogue― meant for
the deaf― who will listen with the eyes.
There was no consolation
for a man who lost his finger
while searching his ring.
Satish Verma, 24 june 2019
That inner probe―
and access― was the need. I
promised myself, not to
sail on the waves.
It was difficult― the way
of birth, to deliver the truth.
You must invoke―
the legacy of the reals― against the fakes.
Factuality, your image
will not suffer. I will witness
the ultimate happening. The
testament will not be written on the beach.
Between ” I “ and “you” lies
the gulf of ancestry. The
unknowing will make it
easy to understand the glacial fall.
