Afraid Poems

Darkness
Can be scary
Not knowing
Where it leads

Doubts and uncertainties
In the depths
Endless maze

Growing 
Nightmares
Deeply hallucinated
In my mind

Part from reality
Part from fantasy
All at the same time

Deep in my thoughts
Making me 
Modern Frankenstein
Dead and alive
Looking insane

Yet 
Comfortable in chaos
Finding solitude
Curtains around me

Numb
No longer feeling...Read More

a sigh, beaming ...
'je n'ai pas peur' she answered
though the question's intent
was to part more than just lips.
he latched her hand
tugging her up the wrought iron spiral
'rooftops!' he cried, 'rooftops and red skies!'
they ran out onto the tar-paper flat
giggling like...Read More

cats
are evil creatures
from outer space

who can understand
their alien thoughts
where they came from
and why are they here

are they part of an advanced team
will the cats some day
take over the world
and turn us into their slaves

I have no answer
but when i see...Read More

The temple, the Mosque, the Church..
All is shouting out as en empty wall..
All ages cry, 
Neither from any culture, nor from any sect..
Neither from any religion, nor from any race..
Some weep, some scared, some sob, some die..
Each is suffering severe...Read More

Sudden fear struck by body
And I could barely breath
Move or speak
When I first heard about
The corona virus and
All its destruction
It's even scarier to
Believe that it's in
Your city and your town
What makes it even worse is
That I don't know who it
Has...Read More

Midst enhanced community quarantine…
my soul earnestly seeks the Lord
Whose throne of grace door never closes
as He hears my supplication of faith-shout 
that pandemic-caused lock down cannot silence.

Despite social distancing rigorously enforced…
my heart intimately draws nigh to the Saviour
Whose presence sweetly...Read More

English showcases Joseph Conrad, Dickens, James Joyce, Tagore
Conrad, once a Pole, Joyce may be Irish, Tagore -Indian of course
In political terms, England rocketed after 1558, besting the Spanish
Our 'lingua franca' changed from Spanish to the Queens English

To me banana leaf is not cheap life providing lien
It serves me with certain safety like heavenly dish of earth
Dark venom fallen down in its safety embryo of oxygen
Venomous snake spreading burning meteors on heart

Breathing afraid of excess sneezing, chough,...Read More

Life as a evil Mastermind criminal 

I am living the life
I am Slick Mc Dick
the one and only
the master criminal 

I live in Oakland
and I run drugs, prostitutes 
guns and illegal software

Black, Asian and...Read More

Having a dog saved my life

when I was a young lad
a dog bit me
and I became terrified of dogs
and to some sense still am

but then many years ago
i had a dog
a husky dog
raised as a pupy

the dog though was half...Read More

When you can dance
Don't walk

When you can together sing
Don't monologically talk

When you can bicamerally love
Don't just try not to be quite so bipolar lost
afraid and then angry and then afraid...

When you can exercise compassion
Don't just wear out passion

When you can...Read More

Why I strayed, I know the reason, but do you? You’re the one that I fell into their arms, the one that I turned to
Although I told you then I never got too deep, but now I feel as though...Read More

quarantine blues

Quarantine such an ugly word
Unlike any other 
All at home 
Regardless of desires
No where to go 
That is the worst part of it 
In fact enforced staying at home
Not to bad
Especially I have you by my side 

Blues come...Read More

It's too silent now
empty streets
people behind closed doors
afraid and alone
my phone rings
and I jump
it has broken the silence
and I know I am not alone...Read More

Oh my God you are the man!
What an amazing job you did creating all of this land.
The bright blue sky and how the clouds magically hang.
Every field of green, mountains, lightening and how the thunder does bang.

From the largest beasts...Read More

April 3 Poems

Humor keeps us sane
it is a piece of what we need to do
to prevent us from getting 
the dreaded corona virus
coming up your nose

First Kiss with My wife

Have You

Ever wondered how it happens?
How the last person stays, 
How they make sure, everyone else gets out?

Ever wonder why?
Is that important? 
As long as we are safe, 
does it really matter who sacrificed;
or more specifically or…
even more importantly what...Read More

Curse willful ignorance for the rusty chains it brings
Reigning in imagination’s course
Shuttering up heart and soul alike.

Don’t be afraid, hiding, not knowing something
For knowledge is an open, free river
Be well afraid of not learning in its currents.

Else understanding forever stands...Read More

Loud voices
Rowdy minds
I get so afraid when I see them fight
Will I exercise?
Tomorrow,I will open a bag of rice
And call some wise men to show me the Eastern star
Which will lead us to afar
That's how must punish these boys.

Clouds Hanging Over Me

dark clouds, ominous
feelings of dread swamping
me with foreboding
unable to get my breath
anxiety leading to yet another
panic attack to
disarm me
detach me from myself
alone and afraid I am
losing my mind
certain it has happened in
the past
confident no one notices
that there...Read More

Artistic expression of exotic and esoteric paintings 
Lives in the home of our hearts where love lingers 
May we dance in this celebration of confinement 
Reading to each other a variety of books and
Sparkling Scripture that shows us the importance...Read More

She is alone
Hoping to be loved
By a man

The one who loves her
For all she is
Good, bad and ugly

Wounded in battle scars 
Across her fragile heart
Her mind traumatized 

Builds her highest defense
With hidden traps
Not get into her again

Prosecuting trespassers 
With sharp...Read More

So here I am standing face to face with myself
Staring deeply though the windows of my inner man
Wondering, who am I? And how did I get here?
I know some how, some years ago
My parents got together and conceived me
But I'm...Read More

Fear not
How?
Dare
Dare what?
Everything you don't know
Everything you don't show
Not a place 
Not a fight
It is everything you don't know about yourself
The ability to not be afraid is to brandish the unknown self
It transcends your ego
An overflow of desires
It is deeper...Read More

Always be more to learn
Quickly adapt 
Crushing timelines

Hard to keep up
No matter how much I ask
Still being back 
Where I started

Confused of important or urgent
Cannot make a difference
When everything pushes me
In all directions

Pressue cooker
Waiting to explode
Need to breathe and cry

Not...Read More
