Philosophical Poems
Love the Life
by Somali Mukherjee
No more will I make life freeze;
I will enjoy my life up to its lowest lees.
Life is short; it is precious;
Life can't stand with things malicious.
Why shouldn't I, why shouldn't I?
Soar with wings up in the sky?
Aye, I do love to dream;
Like the stars, I don't gleam,
But I will shine, shine, for sure;
The more will I shine, the more endure.

False Insanity
by Somali Mukherjee
No need to hurry;
No need to hustle;
The waves do carry
Our each sandcastle.
Life contains a measured beat;
We need to accept all;
Freedom has a deep seat,
As we're given the call.

I looked at my aged wrinkled face into the mirror
My secrets are revealed to the pebbles
And bulging sands of the seashore
Many years have passed since that day!

Unintelligible Words
by Somali Mukherjee
The ocean behind
Seems to speak a lot of things;
We can't understand.
Underneath the Willow Tree
by Sharon Morgan
Squirrels feasting, puppies at play,
Underneath the willow tree
Sunlight flickers and glistens throughout the day
Through the gaps beneath the willow tree.
A spot where lovers could say, ‘I do.’
Lays underneath the willow tree
A place to meditate, even to pray
Underneath the willow tree.
Balmy summers, scorching heat
Underneath the willow tree

Self-deceived

My heart's torn apart
Not by any, but by me,
The worst deceiver.
Light Needed Within

Still, our hearts are full of murk;
We need light indeed.

Bleed to Succeed

The way to success
Is stony and full of thorns;
We’ve to bleed, for sure.
