Tiny Fractures of DeathAs the clock ticks on,
the soul
encounters
tiny fractures of death
hairline cracks
seemingly invisible, superficial
yet they run deep

GrowthI shall never fully let go
Of the feelings, thoughts, memories
Of everything that once flowed into my life.
I am always envisioning my future,
Always lingering in the past.
I feel strongest when both of my
Mindsets of future and past align.
I will always be living in the present.
I'll never...

Cloud WeaversLittle child
Your tiny hands hold a little flower
Delicately, you start weaving a story about peace
In your gentleness, you understand how happiness works
It is the sanctuary of warm softness in the heart
Free of all clouds and stormy weather
Little feet
You walk on soft white sand
Eagerly, you...

England - Gleaming In the Distanceacross the Doggerland dogged people trudge
Neanderthals, Heidelbergers...Sapiens, the last ones standing
hairy mammoths, heavy life bearing down
the mighty maw of an ice wall crunches, enforcing southward retreat
remoulding the land for the next migration
steady thawing reveals a...

Ireland - a Divided Island Part Threekaisers, kings, emperors fight for territory
dispensable bodies left in the ground on foreign soil, unreturned
militarisation of memory and folly
an Irish nation half-wrenched from a bloodied and wearied empire
red royalist hands command the northeastern corner
southern civil...

I Heard the Wise WordsI HEARD THE WISE WORDS
The day wise words were spoken
It was over near the beaten path;
Where I first heard them uttered.
“Beware of the fool in his folly
Who may be clever in presenting his story;
Only for the seeking of his own glory;
Leading the blind to purgatory.”
Some...

China Tour Thoughts 3China Tour Diary Moment #3
SHANGRI-LA, TIBET
--------------------------------
Paradise on earth: Himalayan range;
A phenomenon carved by elements;
Here magic gives birth to ways that seem strange;
A place where lessons of soul mark movement.
Our tour coach winds round the mountain terrain;
Drive on man-made roads and excitement here;
High above the ground,...

FinishedI'm finished, can't you see?
What I'm doing is for me
and my life preserver's small
so there's room for one, that's all
It's my time to break all ties
to the mindsets I despise
And I truly am quite bored
with the clashing of the sword
I no longer have the fitness
for...

Mad scientist access denied

AcclivityACCLIVITY
It is so easy to refine and relax through this perceptual escape.
Your thoughts are pure and thinking is disengaged.
As time pass, we will discuss out.
We will share our thoughts and our afterthoughts.
Everybody pay attention to the ambiance of the wind.
When you feel your soul is...

A Semantic ShieldA kind of cultural sensitivity,
that strengthens discovery; a space
for identity and history.
It’s a style of thought,
chosen to highlight its core;
A lengthy discourse that
acts and synthesizes.
Significant efforts that deal
with elements of change.
It’s a trend to implicitness
that evolves...

And If ElectedLadies and gentlemen; in this
time of political upheaval and
uncertainty, we must never
forget those things which seem
to be forgotten. Those things
that only we can remember.
The things that our forefathers
remembered, and never forgot.
Remembering what it took to
never forget,...

Things Fall ApartAdamant mindsets
In a modern setup,
Vibrant visions evaporates
To emptiness, nothingness and waywardness.
Leaving the people in stark darkness,
Leading to nowhere,
As penury is declared "king",
Hunger succeeds the throne
As blind leaders hardened the
Economy like bone.
Giving peanuts to the peasants
But gold for the wealthy,
Oh! what a chess game...

Windows and doors shut!

Cultured to suckle blind
