This garden city
Concrete skyscrapers loom;
Greenery punctuate


Tree-lined avenues
Bourgainvillea clusters;
Traffic jam companions

Speeds on wheels;
Electric commotion


Playground
For small kids and big;
Noisy...

a stream beside

Holidaying am I amidst the valley of said sins
Such joyous commotions viewing children's fun
Seeing happiness abound...

Lemon sun squirts light from afar.
Ruffled parasols relieve some
from relentless heat as green thumbs
plant colorful chrysanthemums.
Barefeet tap to the...

I Think, Therefore Am I?


Neck cracking penumbra
shines on starlit mundanity
ebon macabre epiphanies
fogwebs of my morality
my tongue twists ceaselessly
trinkets of truffled profanity

THE COLD CLING OF SPRING

Pretty petals ferociously fall as Spring releases its fury.
Blooming cherry blossoms in disarray, decry a disaster.

Rosebuds refuse to unfurl like a...

Wide plantation shutters open 
  With the laziness of

To blink against the shimmering reflections 
 Of brilliant midday...

Kids ice pops melting, dripping on the sand 
People sat in deck chairs reading a book
Happy young couples walking...

It was one of those chance encounters; the Common Room, mid-morning on a brisk April day. She bounced in with a radiant smile and absent-mindedly...
