For My Light

I wait, at the end of the tunnel

For my light to guide me out 

To find myself in life's funnel 

I wait, at the end of the tunnel 

As thoughts seem void and null 

Shackled to the chains of doubt

I wait, at the end of the tunnel  

For my light to guide me out

Thank you Sam for introducing to this wonderful form of poetry!

"A triolet has eight lines, with rhyme scheme ABaAabAB. The first, fourth and seventh lines are identical, and the second and final lines are also identical.This means that, once you've written the first couplet, you have five of the eight lines done. With only three more lines to go, you’re 63% done with the poem."

I Being Me

This is a story about a man crossing a street

Who listens to the sound of river and his silent heart

And wonders how to disappear from society

This is the story of I Being Me

My mind told me stories never to be shared

When a broken star stares back at me

I open a blue box of feelings out of my dream

Only to realize that she lives in my head

I jot down all my reasons to write

With the fountain pen of my life

I write my life to travel far away from here

Very soon I will walk away from roads

Feeling alone behind this mask of vanity 

I am a cloud made of thoughtlessness

If i had wings like yours, I tell my pigeon 

I would fly beyond infinite stars and wait

On winter nights, I think of soup making

I live and die as the moon heels my heart

buried in sleep beneath dry leaves of sugarcane

I make miracles with my light

I Being Me

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IBeingMe!

Partial To Gin

A man who was partial to gin

Was clad in a suit from Pierre Cardin

Piously devoted to his drink

He ignored his lady's wink

The lady divorced him for this sin

A gal who was partial to gin

Saw an opportunity for a win

She offered him another glass

He gladly accepted it with class

Together they went for a spin
