And then
all of a sudden she
was there
I had met her before
once
or twice
we communicated
and went
our ways
this time she was here
closer than ever
i could
almost feel her
if not
for the glass
wall between us
I know
she wants to
come to the other side
she has the courage
will she
have the strength
come
I thought
I yelled
then
slowly she

Pains and sweat, the body is in need of a scratch
in failure’s holocaust, victimized in its catch
nearly giving up all and beg
then comes the matured egg
after much trials is the long awaited hatch....

Dark clouds loom beyond battered mountains,
cracking sounds seep through broken walls
and murmuring voices echo near and far.
We did not know where to begin,
but I had  a strong feeling that we would win.
We leaped through block doors, 
trampling on broken glasses,
tearing down make shift barricades,
busting...

narrative poem

It was in the sixth month of the fifth year,
when B. Obama was the president.
I heard the loud noise of many actors -
singing praises, clapping hands in tribute.

Play-acting, cultured lines, memorized songs,
performed by men and women with spirit,
indistinguishable from sincere praise.
Drama entangled with reality.

This heart beats to the rythm of a broken melody 
unsung, unheard. It tears through these walls of imprisonement 
that i created with tears 
that flowed, flooded and drowned me 
into my world of nothingness 
where only the echo of my fading voice 
drains my...

When will my rain clouds subside and fill my life with sunshine. Is it too much to ask for a break? I have made lemonade so many times, I don't think life has anymore lemons to give me. Let me sip the sweet from the...

A sideways glance, I see you shine
your purple spark, enchanting 
sprung up beside an old street pole
from concrete crack, shy flower. 

How can you grow among the grays
your sunshine petals, perky?
Blooming where you should not be
a humble over comer. 

My hurting heart, from cold to...

I needed the silence
No noise from the phone
No snowplows or wind
Branches or ice cracking
Just silence and a breakthrough
For words to return
For worries to leave
For peace to slow time, regularly
To take in my surroundings,
with striking observation
To feel my being in the here and now
Silence brought me...

No one on this earth is gonna stop me 
from reaching my breakthrough
I'm so close I can fell it within me
I'm so close I...

We count the years and don’t notice the days
As tomorrows quickly switch into yesterdays
Yesterdays which disappear into history
Some into forgetfulness, some into a memory
But tomorrows are what we hold on to
Filling up every dawn with hope for a breakthrough
Every chapter is only done
By turning pages...

Flesh is compulsorily subjected to several bites
with the hope of later expensive lotions of comfort.
Hard work pays but luck issues the slips
toiling and moiling for the skin to keep soiling.

Every shot towards goal hits the post,
after years of attempts, the thigh muscles wither.
Sharp teeth on...

Had just turned age sixteen.

Hey, that was really keen.

But I was aimless in high school.

Which was not really cool.

In this pose, now I was stuck.

What will I be when I grow up?

Older siblings were college-bound.

Such a path I had not found.

I asked for help on...
