the perfect girl of his dream
her highlighted crown
conflates an embellishment
emitting fashion design

Don'T Stall a Hallowed HarvestA little smile delights my soul
A little money appreciates my life
A little love achieves my goal
A little care flatters my wife
Strengthening my resolve to perform better
Duties and responsibilities I bear
In my role as family pace and trend setter
In spite of mundane outfit and suit...

Would you allow me to argue
In the end so as to agree;
To bear with my “warped” view
To analyse “holy” decree?
Would you deny me a chance
To free my mind and express
To liberate my soul with dance
I might feature in the Press;
For, keys on creativity’s gate
Are Argument...

A Reflection on That Time I Let My Husband Cut My Hair
He said he’d watched a tutorial.
He said symmetry was a myth
fueled by Big Geometry.
I laughed. That was my first mistake.
My second was passing him the scissors
without asking him about his dominant hand.
(It was vibes. His hand was vibes.)
Snip.
He called it edgy. I called it
accidentally spiritual—
because...

HumilityHumility
Hardened hearts, harbor hate
Haughty eyes, penetrate
Honest folks congregate
Holy Spirit conflates
Happiness permeates
Humankind celebrates
Humility is great.

MindsOur minds have grown,
into edifices of slips that turn to
pride...
and eject a lifelong withering pulse,
to reveal you.
The grueling drips have dragged,
a common understanding of
our enduring limits
into empty nights,
and inside a creeping smile...
that again reveals you.
Inside us lies
a sown up compassion
for intricate devotion screaming...

Life's New HorizonIn youth's frantic clutches
Addicted to vapid touches
Love children spawned in shaded hutches
Existing on euphoric highs, painless crutches
In middle age, lust morphed into longing
Spent body in static sphere now belonging
Neglected prodigy seeking shelter in availing arms
Licentious, pretentious friends fled in swarms
Sins of youth girdle my deserted...

As proof of incipient
Love that conflates with

Cynosure of sea romance

Heart Of ArtThe art was most masterful on the dark canvas.
It seemed as though done by a gigantic genius
Colours clashed, popped, hopped, splashed, and slashed like soap bubbles.
Shades, strips, and spots with secret sacred stateliness
Hidden puddles-puffed puzzles, troubles, and struggles...
Like shade-stung sunlight, there's sweet sadness behind smiles.
Rays...

Competing For Satan's LoveI’m a racist, you’re a racist, life looks racist too
and one more proof that all are sinners (tainted through and through).
Even babies fear a stranger (cling to mama’s skirt);
inborn, we’re trained, or raised by parents with imperfect love?
Categories plague our species; souls (smeared black with...

DreamsBeyond consciousness, everything conflates
and a unknown excursion awaits.
Slowly one will start to alight,
drifting into a adventurous night.
A world that reality can not compress,
and all the possibility's are endless.
Inner desires you can unleash
and the ability to climb to a point you never thought you could reach.

The Present RevivedReleased from the prison
Of the extended word
Verse offered
Asylum
And a means of escape
Carrying me deep
To where the future-past
Hides
All time to mislead

Wishes Left UnclaimedLiving in the present
living in the future
One conflates the other
betrothing joy and hope
Moments breed contentment
from wishes left unclaimed
Tomorrow rules our nightly dreams
— and all today holds dear
