2025 PoemThe flood of life bring sorrow
Mind become empty in a moment or two
Calling for perspective on the event
Almost forgot what's the most important
in that moment of time
The flood comes slowly
It kept deeper and deeper
Get out people your present was not need at that moment
Get going find a higher place
To settle down till morning.

The Boy the World ForgotHe came into the world without a sound.
No hands reached out to hold his fragile head.
The nurse just wrote his name and walked away-
A child born to silence, not to songs.
His mother stared through windows into rain.
His father left before he knew his name.
He learned that asking meant you’d not be heard.
He learned that love...

Victorian Christmas Past
Upon a grassy hill, so long ago,
our lovely, old Victorian-style home
was built in eighteen eighty-six, aglow
with cozy rooms and firesides burning bright.
So charming were the winding stairs that flared
neath the cathedral ceiling's chandelier.
Outdoors, a rolling lawn and gardens spread
beside a stony brook that rambled on.
A time I still remember- Christmas Day
in nineteen fifty-three- age...

Inner Turmoil," I felt my fingernails digging into his back during a profoundly charged moment. It was striking to see tears streaming down the face of this strong man—he was unguarded! He sighed deeply and reached his climax again and again.
This was not just a display of sportsmanship; it was a clear expression of inner...

Teaser-actTeaser-act — LC
What’s alive, dead, and witnessing?
Me—listening.
It’s the teaser-act.
A black cat next to a fat fu**
Skip under a ladder cause I know the origin of clatter.
A four leaf—fig leaf
Screw a few, hide the grief
Streamline my hairline
And unstuck my head fu**
I light when the smoke is thick
when the veil is dense and the clock don’t...

My Shyness Turned into social anxietyBe quiet so you won’t be heard anymore. You might have heard this phrase growing up. Why do people think it’s their job to silence others and stop them from speaking freely?
Every spoken word should be heard, like a loud ringtone from a cell phone that signals someone is calling. Everyone deserves to be heard.

A Short Rain
A practice kiss with her hand
Misses body, heart
The droplets like her fall —
She amasses their death
Even inside, outside
Let rain go no further....

Gull Glides
A gull glides slowly
Through the cloud-grey sky
No sign of hurry,
No hint of worry
Content thus to fly.
Dramatic contrast
To the traffic down below
Human hurry
Human rush
As though its sinful
To go slow.
Maybe somehow
In a very little while
I’ll let time take
Its gentle course
And gull-like
Peaceful go.

The Mirror CopiesThe mirror copies—
life responds.
Inside a mirror you are frozen.
A stasis oasis.
As if you’ve entered a black hole—
and God took a screenshot.
Paused,
at the last real still frame.
Everything else…A timeless story.
There is something sacred about a mirror world.
And it’s that you remember the light before it was refracted.
Because that echo—
the silent director to...

Falling in love with someone you can never truly be with can be haunting. We hide behind filtered photos—wearing a smile, using body language as our shield. As poets, we feel deeply; we observe and express our emotions through the words we write.
My heart is weary—so weary. (Elizabeth Browning) Our tone...

Waves from the Tigris
Green woods
Barefoot I walk
Chalk half broken
Unspoken yearnings
Earrings from the caves
Waves from the Tigris
Enslaving existence
Distances chopped
Pearl drops

There Goes The Baker
The echoes in cartoons,
The sermons in static,
How every chorus begs us
To wake, or vanish.
Maybe God is a director.
I don’t know.
But the script is too perfect,
And the extras too hollow,
Like the background forgot
How to breathe on its own.
There goes the Baker.
Popping pills in his blue buggy
with one red ball and another blue dangling from...

thumbs are amazingI use my thumbs to pry my dog’s mouth open
when he is chewing hard plastic or a pair of glasses
they are also used when I want to open or shut doors
pull a dresser knob, use a fork, knife or spoon
I cannot imagine how worthless my hands would be without them
They are imperative to grasp turn...
