The Malkavian..Part 1The Malkavian..Part 1
His mind has all the meaning of a madman that is screaming
Tortured and tormented, a life lived to be lamented
His family, drained and defeated, finally retreated
Leaving him believing that he was beyond redeeming
The doctors sent in talked of hope and...

The Long-Suffering WifeBelieving that marriage was ordained of God;
that, like a seed, it needed constant nurturing,
she sowed her deep devotion with a hope
that stretched beyond an ordinary scope.
That hope scanned schisms that had left her desolate-
until it reached the heavens with her prayers.
Time...

Heart
"Heart"
Deep fissures formed
in the cracks of
the nowhere place
where time leeched
bleeding claret
through the green
veined blues
protean bit by bit
the flesh disappears
prematurely 6ft under
mulch for rebirth
the subcontinent
conscientious conscience
inward reaching
the divine central tableau
revels in its simple existing
the complexity suspended baulks
at the...

Slides and StairwaysSomewhere in the pretty petty imaginary illusion of delusion
There lies a truth an edifice of search between obtuse confusion
Windows like brick walls and concrete blocks birthing the light
Nails to be nailed screws to be screwed with monumental sight
A life a building fortress sand castle beach...

The EndgameThe endgame
And the cemetery was
nowhere to be found
yet was so present
in the shallow depth
the graveyard of the mind
No tombstone unturned
fragmented torn and twisted
sorrow flowing down
encrypted alleyways
and Thanatos’ call
Searching to imprint
coffin’s nails on seams
of muddy icy prison
hammered chiselled avenues
creeping through...

I Know You - Collaboration With Chris GreenI see her, ecstatic under thundering skies, red flashed lightning
Long hair static, arms spread wide,
savoured downpour, dance.... exuberant
As if day becomes night, a crimson moon, tinted stars, painted clouds
Peering down, eclipsing fears and weaving enchantment
Her pirouettes stir dry leaves in whirlwind patterns
And I stand in...

Prose Poetry
When True Love Is FoundAs the clock strikes midnight
And there's a full moon in the sky
Into our room she walks
Something catches my eye
It's the black lacy piece she's wearing
Hemmed low to draw me in
Revealing curves of delight
Tanned undulations of skin
Her sexy swagger delights
As I turn from the window to...

In Times Like TheseThe farther we move the closer we get,
The distance between is a measure of love,
Bad memories of the past, you two forget,
New memories to create from here and now!
The mind was glued to things of irrelevance,
The office work and petty human politics,
The lockdown has been...

Stirring my TeaIn the morning I heard the tea pot singing,
With the amber liquid sizzling,
Saw spouts of vapor ejecting,
With a sweet aroma tickling.
While pouring my cup of steaming tea,
Adding some cream, a little sugar and stirring it
I thought of the magic effect it brings,
Reviving us on...

We Lost Our SoulsWhen did the devil collect
Every soul that's in his debt
Cursing us with evil gloominess
Darkness hatred and the doomness
That's been flooding this whole world
We need to capture it and hurl
Every badness back to hell
Cementing it shut, I can tell
It's going to take quite a while
To get...

The DeckIt’s been thirteen years, but I still think about him a lot
In the morning quiet, standing on the deck he built, not forgot
I sometimes feel him there with me
His presence seems to hear my plea
After the loss I’d break down at any condolence shown
In time,...

My First Instrument"My First Instrument"
Bassoon baby so special to me
The first thing I really took care of
Instrumental to my growth
I cleaned it every day
Woodwind wonder
Of stained sycamore maple
A glossy fine finish
For someone just beginning
Sleeping with my jazz filled fantasies
I was a double reed romantic...

Wedding AnniversaryThree decades and still together,
is there a secret to our success?
One's selfishness, the other's tolerance,
always a balance to redress.
Some times were never that easy
an expectation so self-evident,
the attraction of opposites then proving
unlike factors can complement.
So over the years all these factors
became less defined at the...

My Perfect Home ZoneMy Perfect Home Zone...
I want the breeze of Jannah to permeate our abodes,
A restful peace within it take hold,
So I ask Allah to fill in them His light entirely,
with joy, contentment, & pure tranquillity,
To answer my yearn for sounds of chirp & laughter
to echo in...

The Crazy OnesHere is to you crazy fellas
Those who are covenanted to the religion of distinctiveness
And heralds of unique unthinkable patterns
Here is a salute to you
Those, who against the popular opinion and trend, stick to their principles and confession
