Cueboy's Poems

A statistician writing poems? Weird! Well, I'm a weird 'o, you should know that by now, guys! Maybe I could have taken English instead of Mathematics but I don't think I would have gone too far anyway ;-), maybe ... coz it only takes a nanosecond to make a lifetime decision!

Anyway, I started putting rhyming lines together in 1985, just one year before I left for South Africa to study at the University of Durban-Westville. With your kind permission, I'd like to share these with you. See the menu.

 

When I was in South Africa, my pen-name used to be Foreigner but I've now changed it to The Rhyme. Guess why? My favourite topics are friendship and love ...

Below are a few of my modest attempts (short sayings/poems) dedicated to very special people in my life.


Ever has been the wind of blame
Strong enough to blow out the eternal flame?
When shall you fools wrapped in the veil of shame
Understand that you can never tarnish my name?

Love is embellishment; friendship is accomplishment.

Money is but a mountain of wealth;
Knowledge is the true fountain of wealth.

The depth of our friendship lies in our differences.

If the soul had no gender, no-one would be gay.

We are all unique in the way we say that we are unique.

An encounter between two people in life is just the intersection of two parallel movies in the space-time continuum.

There is no such thing as a straight line, which, at best, is just an arc of a circle with infinite radius.

We always do what we think is right in life. If our action somehow transgresses any law, may it be man-made or divine, then we must also be ready to be sanctioned.

Strong relationships are built on understanding, not withstanding, differences.

Her eyes embody Nature agaze,
But her ogles overwhelm Love ablaze...

Make loneliness your friend
And you will never be lonely again...

Happiness is found at the nadir of despair...

Si le Ciel me le demande, je vivrai d'amour et d'eau fraîche... celle qui s'écoule, si limpide, de mes yeux...

The best things in life are intangible...

From Cueboy with ... love
