primary idiopathic palmar/
palmoplantar hyperhidrosis

Aforementioned physiological malady
unwanted and unwonted figurative

invariably, objectionably, and unquestionably
afflicts, impacts, and upsets

He looked at me with
begging eyes,

Hiding in his own world.

All knew his looks,
But none knew him.

No one realized
who he was.

Alone, desperate.

Then one day,
Everyone closed in on him

Their daggers pointing
At the only feeling he had:

Sorrow.

He let out a sob
One small sob that told them everything

They walked...

Set a new record for writing these limericks
Wrote this snappy one in less than a minute
Took quite the risk
Of dislocating a disc
And to top it all off, I was eating spinach!

Mother Nature maternal winsome hold;
exhales sweet air from sun up til twilight.
To the farthest height in the skies, birds enfold;
blueness stream favorer lustrous moonlight.

Sweet amber honey lures its stinging hive.

It was a time of great and exalting excitement,
Until the country was again up in arms and agitation.
The war was on,
Indeed tough and elusive,
Era has made it way;
The melody of birds singing in the trees,

Had been converted to the rhymes of guns and violence.
Faces begun...

A needed voice for the voiceless
To learn from failures and choices
As time moves forward
Blinded by delusion and perception
The hateful foundation that was built must fall
To bring forth the natural element to a peaceful life
Righteous inspiration growing from the people
Chanting for freedom
Dislocating a selfish social order
So...

for Mahathero Gunasena

In a makeshift vihara in the heart of London
Bikku then disclosed his parents long gone
Might one dare utter after all these years
Was it yesterday he would shed dry tears

Somewhere in the saffron folds of his faith
A lonely boy still lurked wanting his mother
Or...

I want to relinquish this stagnant pain. 
It has been lurking in my subconsciousness 
and perforating my reality for too long. 

I try to extricate myself from this servitude 
but it sticks to my fingers like resin 
whenever I try to discard it.  Clinging...

A disenchanted mind, scattered, like autumn leaves swirling
A vagueness of memory; the doors locked to a mystery
Dreams forever lost in a permanent dusk 


A knowledge extinguished, as the fires we worshipped dismember
An amputation of the grief, like a mutilated immortality
Consummating those captive images of your...

in the quick-cut-spliced-split-beamed-flashed n’flickering
we’re both now nothing more than a hypersupermegasearch
a word, a phrase, a soundbit, a visual image caught by someone,
