in the playground
where the inner child
of grandparents on a high
ignores age restrictions

Purple flowers of my 
adolescence
   Gone now - gone forever
  Outside my window 
young girls play hopscotch
Taxis whizz by 
Young lovers embrace
   Getting lost in the humming metoroplis 
is a good way to eliminate angst
The biblical three score and ten...

‘     ‘ ‘   ‘      ‘   ‘’’’’’’

Angular hips now more round than grapes
grieving a little for new voice whispered,
swells of flesh curved  in plumper shapes
while the flow of  monthly arrival ...

I'm not old enough to drive yet
Not old enough to drink
Not old enough for lotto
But old enough to stink

I'm at that in between age
Where nothing is quite right
When boys and drugs and alcohol
Have entered in my sight

I wonder where I'm going
I wish that I could...

The days are long,
Everything is new,
Love’s took for granted,
And death has yet to brush against you....

It might be said of adolescence,
This is a stage demanding economic authority,
autonomous freedom to invest and disinvest,
without yet accepting concomitant political responsibilities,
to family
to community
to children
to grandchildren
to disenfranchised populations
to Elders' wiser investments, in their permacultural time,
to other interdependent species
     in our food...

Amidst the cacophony of raging emotions
In a nexus of conflicting passions
Lies a beguiled soul

He is embedded in a labyrinth of racing thoughts
And interlocking fears

He investigates his surroundings
While a sinking sensation grips him
Immobile in feeling
He plots his course
Frozen in indecision

Trying out different personas
He reaches invisibility
As he...

Word: Adolescence 

If 
I am 
no longer 
here, I want you
to smile for me. 
Go and experience 
life and everything else that
you could possibly imagine.
Drink merrily, love faithfully, and 
most importantly, please live happily.
Take what I’ve taught you with a...

A lot of praise and admiration,
Kisses
on my forehead
pecks
on my cheeks
I got when I was a wind-bud of innocence
one by one the drops of rain
blown away
by the bankrupt wind
the full pant
drew a lot of curiosity and criticism
: when
I was looking at the watch
it laughed ,
the tide...

One day, the boy becomes a man
When it happens he hardly knows,
It seems to have been a noble plan
Some say that’s just how it goes.
For oft he’d heard, “Boy, grow up!”
Followed by this, “Act like a man!”
First, he noticed a strange hiccup
Then, he sounded like...

We are taught not to like ourselves,
from a young age
it is a shame to know you are beautiful,
yet beauty is in everyone,
why can't we see that,
see our worth,
without seeking validation from others.
one day you will shout it from the rooftops
you are beautiful.
after years of not...

Away...

Spot her  from far.
Have a tingle mingle all over your skin.
Award your forehead a scratch
As you do the arduous estimations
Of the remaining catwalk steps
Before her beauty kisses your eyes.
Let sanity flee from your mind.
(That's OK.Never mind.
Angels are never meant
For sane minds)

Coming your way...

Prepare to...
