Mingo's Poems

Poems and Proses  By Mingo

...in this golden balance                                 
                 arrives a pleasant fragrance...

...clarity is arriving
     and I shall now
         bask in its light...

...a bird's song,                                     
      can't be wrong                                        
          please think along...

..what questions are presented
     those answers are resented...

The passion for tears abounds                                                  
    and I shall need these now to survive

When the passion is so deep that tears flow
   Love has arrived

I can only go to my tears now
   For they shall clear me and relieve me

Rest in silence
   For it seldom arrives

Your smile has arrived
   So  your tears have done their work

A passionate look at a flower
   Takes but a moment

I've drawn a tear and
   My pencil never touched the paper

The cricket has entered the night
   Do not fright...it just might
      Make it light

When does the bird's song...believe so strong
   That it allows all pains to be gone

Acknowledge the past...but do not let it last
   For today has the brightness...the lightness
      That needs to be remembered

Invest in your thoughts
   For they have been taken long enough
      Invest in your heart
         For it has been broken long enough

What evokes the heart to hate another
   Can also bring love to your brother

Be anxious and you will feel pain
   Be lightness and you will feel gain

A just moment demands no return statement

Today has more confusions...more delusions
   As peace has slipped and been ripped
      Fear not of this plot
         And laugh a lot

Sadness has gripped my heart
   But laughter has split my lip

Our weary earth, wobbles under its' pain
   Have we gone insane...in vain

Make no mistake,  I won't forsake
   They love of peace

Justice rewards the patience
   Of those that live in truth
      And passes those of lies

A spoken soul, rest its' thoughts
   Upon the open mind

I have chosen no tears today, I say
   Let us play...not betray
      Those that have given theirs yesterday

A golden path of sunlight has warmed
   My body and brightened my path

A mountain pass offers an entry
   Through giants that touch the stars

Reduce the hazards of going crazy
     ----by becoming happy---   

...destruction cast no vote for creation
     ----as landmines steals thy legs----

...death awaits the innocent,
     as power has chosen to destroy what remains alive...

....a petal prepares its fall, with no thought nor arrangement------
     its agreeable to its future and vibrant in its presence... 

Staying aware of peoples problems reflects unawareness in yours.

Repeating memories of past problem
     acknowleges an infrequence to accept present changes

SONG:::: I once knew my lover and I once knew my friend
     I once danced before these, but now I'm just me
     For I once knew my lover and I once new My friend,
          but know all is forsaken in the presense that I am
     Don't let me love you
     Don't let me care for tears seem to follow all that I see and
          I once knew my lover and I once knew my friend

What happens will allow what was to be forgotten

Chosen moments of child's play bring luscious laughter to once silent winds....

A carrot dreams of its orange root entering the earth,
     As a dolphin seeks travel by air------

Has your knowledge learned, put smiles on stolen children-----
    --------------------or stopped the endless rain forest destruction-----------

Past feelings, are just that–past feelings ------------gone with the wind
-----------------------and alive to feel again-------------

Live in total comfort of past faults,
     ---------------as new expressions of love, gather in a balancing new change-----           

...fresh fruit for breakfast
     -----a lovely smile for lunch
           —and peace for supper—

...I give my love to harmony to release hatred, to stop all wars
     -----for enough have died enough have lied and for sure, enough have cried....

...a jolt of laughter, a bolt of pleasure, a pinch of humility and a ton of pride...

..has your weary heart given its final laugh, as trigger happy soldiers
      march through battered fields of trampled clover...

...your stupidity on lacking peaceful resolutions astonishes me, grasping on
     quoted woes from passing patrons...

...has peace become a word spoken only during war...

...five thousand wars in three thousand years and the only thing I support
     is the flower stem from the weight of its blossom...

...gifted Longfellow, found his words on a passing leaf,
     amidst a forest of dancing yellow jackets and painted water lilies....

..silent love settles on wandering eyes,
     as your given passion receives no acceptance to a chosen lover...

Amidst forests of green and birds not seen
       A particle of water finds its way to the forest floor
                And on its way has opened no doors

Screeach owl do screeeeech,
     in search of its mate,
          please lets have a date

Review your happiness,
     except your laughter and dance with freedom

Withered emotions trickle down illuminated pathways,
     as charging solders find no one to kill

Pounding tides line the raged shore line,
     as nesting egrets loom likely on scampering crabs.
