Please do not touch

Just read the signs dotted around the gallery display
So you take a selfie ...
What harm can it do?

Your camera shutter
clicks 
clicks 
clicks
as you take selfish selfie pics

Teetering on your high heels
you topple backwards like a destructive domino

"The Circe Effect" (Part 1)


Circe, Goddess of magic, nymph, witch, bold enchantress
daughter of Helios, Sun God, her father, can you imagine? ... 
let me paint you further, the tree of this wacked-out family canvas -
daughter of Perse, her mother, wild Oceanid Nymph, spawned not on...

At long last
the woman in her rebelled!    
Overcoming fear and shame
she spoke out
not in a whisper
but loud, clear; determined
to end the torment within,
the silence...the omerta`.
The first domino fell and
others followed suit.
There is strength in unity,
courage in numbers.
Riding the wave of change
#MeToo
Horrors, lies,...

Cougar trouble

In 98 I was free again,
Thanks to wife stealing cousin Wayne.
At work the boss was an older chick,
Who moved on me, so very quick.

Though I had found other ladies great,
And was a dating several called mate,
Two ladies were there at work,
One married chick, who...

Why do I love poetry? Well, it's none of the usual: beautiful words, lofty thoughts, noble sentiments. I can get all that from Tolstoy or the Bible. No, I love poetry, good poetry, because it is efficient. In a few lines one can become aware...

The rain outside my door
Its talk, a calming effect
Upon my restless spirit, implores 
the need to reflect.

The rain, drenching the moors
Its pounding upon rocky crests
Like the clapping of hands, soars
Upon the senses, dissolving stress.

The rain inviting me outdoors
Its plead to leave the comfort of concepts
Exchanging...

Look at you in the mirror, brilliant journalist 
You, the journalist who seeks my gaze, 
You, the journalist who laughs without knowing us better,
Look at you in the mirror
You, the journalist who exercises your power over people, 
You like to be heard, looked at,
But you...

"The Circe Effect" (Part 2)


In solitary confinement, she remained all alone 
in a big old mansion in the middle of a woodland zone 
there she sat weaving on her loom all alone
on that Island of Aeaea, until that good sort, Odysseus 
walked into her home.

Athena,...

It is human nature to hate him whom you have injured. ~Tacitus

as children 
we looked past the world’s artificial trappings 
the ravelment of doctrines 
and the glaring capitalistic displays
the only criteria was that we’re friends 

growing up 
the world we inhabited 
shrank as we embraced...

This is a message to children who lack sincerity in school. Hard work always gives easy success. Whatever hardwork we do during our school days, decides our future for entire life. Its not only about studies but the sincerity which is developed along with it.

Kite-Surfer prepares for his thrilling ride
With double-checked gear, wades into the tide

Observer sits noticing all that’s around
And sees the direction where’s Kite-Surfer’s bound

Like an outgoing message that’s waiting to send
Kite-Surfer is patient, then catches the wind

Observer sits calmly beachside near the trees
From safe distance he...
