Steve Hydonus (Jitendra) poems

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

To some extent I see myself as a participant and to some extent a channel for the expression of poems and songs. Since they have been scattered all over the site over the years, I’ve decided it is better to have them centrally located taking my inspiration from Eric’s dream journals and his recent query about one of them. Thanks Eric.

The Way to Make a Better Day


This life can be quite complicated
and the people in it equally so.
I didn’t really mean a reference to anyone.
Instead I speak here of experiences
that come to me along the way
Through what people do and say

And on my tombstone inscribed will be
Please don’t judge me
To harshly in deed
I’m somewhat a victim
of the fantasies
The creator brought to me
In the hall of mirrors
Laughter and tears

So in between every thing
I have to say
Comes a tailored version
Of what you see
Has somehow
Bothered me?
Nothing that was here
Was the cause
From your human flaw.

My friend
I’m just tryin
To make out
The cause and law
Of the predicament
I’m in
and the way
To make a better day
