 One blossom though different invites the same appraisal
 Such is the life of a man…he merits happiness and fulfillment  ...

Flashing and reflecting in the noonday sun,
Your...

From your truth, you are actually reeling

Putting your emotions high on a shelf,
Living an out-of-touch unfulfilled life,
Originality hidden from self…

Injuring damaged psyche like a knife,
Meticulously hiding your inner light,
Bending to his will as a Stepford...

Deep in the dungeon in the back left corner 
Was a mere shell of what was once a man.
He was shackled to the wall of his own design
By the love of his lady so fair, and divine
 
The queen of a land so far away...

I will make a collage of my college days
Just like I did with my High School days...at least in my mind every May as long as the memories stay with me...I know they won't stray away

streaming away in confusion and chaos
nobody...

Acid reflux ~ early morning August 9th, 2022

Ah... nothing more enjoyable
than acidic gastric fluid (bile)
flowing backward into esophagus,
resulting in heartburn, meanwhile
disrupting pleasant dreams,
which phenomena also known as 
gastroesophageal reflux (GER)
found me discombobulated 
and swiftly tailored into harried style.

Unsure how successful literary endeavor
