Don'T Ask Me About My Education
From time to time, people ask me
About my education.
Only then, I remember
I have no degrees or diplomas.
I attended no university either.
I hated textbooks and exams.
I still do.
That's bad education, they say.

But they don't know
I was taught by a book
No school could afford to teach from.
There...

Premium Member Lend Me Your Ear



Easy to judge by what it seems to be,
More effort to immerse in what we hear.
Take time to talk, there is much more to me,
Before you tune me out, lend me your ear.


Estranged to yours my life seems to appear
Yet I laugh, love and struggle...

The Killing Fields”
Stepping across these bodies
Makes me ill

Pools of blood stitched
In the soles of my shoes       

Body parts dripping from 
Walls where bullets passed

She went to school that day
Skipping and laughing along the way

Gunfire from hell
Unleashed in a fury...

A Wandering Soul
A WANDERING SOUL

You dumped me into the lowest pit,
In its abyss and darkest depth,
You kept me permanently disjoined
From my closest friends and family,
My eyes are dim with grief!
From where I am laid now,
My parents will see me no more!

Look here, on my neck your daggers...

Lines
I know each one, every line

My eyes trace them every day

From dawn’s light to dusk’s dark

One fascinates me, long, curved

It’s history hidden, for me to imagine, build a story

Bisected by others, short, shallow or deeper

Like stems of soft grass maybe

It lays there, reflects light, casts...

The Human Nature - War
Swords lay on the floor
As men fell to the dirt
Some, plunged through with spears 
Some, sword impaled

Flies buzzing round gutted intestines
Made a feast of dead ones
Who suffered fatal blows
And had bellies rent open

Babies were snatched from Mothers’ arms
And bisected into equal halves.
With wild grins on...

The Setting of the Sun: Part Two
Tommy Atkins was a good boy
grew to be a good man, good soldier,
packed up his troubles in an old kit bag and smiled
as his entrails blew out with aplomb;
he died as the black rain struck his slowly glazing eyes
good son, good husband, good father
left only...

Why Save India Only
motion of planetary bodies
formed mud earth
and India appeared
why save India only

natural phenomenon bisected continent
part sailed to edge
and India appeared
why save India only

murderers of father of nation celebrated
and Hindu India appeared
why save India only...

Before I Die Young
My parents were both cut in two,
my mother head to torso, laterally bisected
into equal parts, my father cut slightly off center
into unequal parts, his heart bisected, his head intact.

My parents were cut in two, as if
giant shards of sharp glass
were free falling in the universe.
She...

Strictly Forbidden

Have been writing poems and then waited
For your poets to soon become infatuated
With all of my poems each and every one
I will post to Poetry Soup when are done.

At first poems weren't completely perfected
Waiting for by Poetry Soupers to be bisected
Then super pooper dupers...

Skimming Stones
Looking down I can see
	so many different possibilities
wondering which I shall pick
	and with it then what I shall see

smooth pink stone with pits of white
	will it fit in my fingers just right
that I might flick it with the crack like a whip
	to get the perfect...

I Lost Me
I LOST ME
I escape out of myself today
I sneak out of my mind
I forgot the rhythms of my own heartbeats
I literally got lost in my own world

I think I have lost
My wings to fly
I think I can’t remember the 
Tracks in the sky that leads...

Premium Member Something Shifted
Something shifted, in invisible space 
Happening fortuitous, by Gods grace
Magnetic pulse from our palms transmitted
Energy divine, never abated
Outpouring gently, at an easy pace

Vibrant with bliss, its origin we trace 
To the cave of our heart, our home, our base
Small miracles thus, mindfully detected
Something shifted

Enlivened by...
