DUM SPIRO SPERO



As long as I breathe
There is hope
While I breathe in hope
there is breath to breathe
with hope.
Breath is indeed a rope;
the rope of hope
with which we cling
on to dear life
dangling on a string
awaiting better days.
Yes, hope is a rope of reality
that helps us in many ways
to cling onto sanity
for it is our hope
that things and people
which may be dope
will change and barriers topple
to raise love and peace
It is also sincerely hoped
That we live without disease
And in good health enveloped
We hope and pray
That those who with us
games doth play
are turned to dust
and their cunning and deceit
will soon be proved
as that which is counterfeit
and that the world may be moved
by love to together live
in rapturous harmony
and to each other freely give
without any acrimony
As long as I breathe
There is still hope.
While I breathe in hope
there is breath to breathe
with anticipation and hope
until I am so buried beneath

RIDING THE CHARIOT OF MY MIND



My steeds breathing fire unbridled
Did cause many a commotion
Until my desires were slowly killed
To blinker and ride them in slow motion.
So to my chariot constructed with thoughts of desire
I did yoke my steeds from my stable.
I then did learn to control the horses breathing fire
And ride them until I was able
To witness the wonders within me, Sire.
I learnt the mechanics of my chariot of thought
With reeling thoughts like wings on fire
Did make my life better as my horses did trot
And send away all my desire.
I learnt the natures of my steeds
Which one to pull to turn which way
I understood their needs
And how they united to carry me away
The steed yoked to my right
Was always hot and bright
It made me victorious in every fight
As he carried me at the speed of light.
The steed thus yoked to my left
Was always cool for to me it femininely cleft
and helped me create the warp and weft
of this poem of meaning bereft.
My steeds breathing fire now bridled
Did attract another steed so magnificent
The third when yoked and bridled
Made me experience bliss so omniscient
