in the playground
where the inner child
of grandparents on a high
ignores age restrictions

I’ve covered the mirrors in our house
With colored sheets, while choking on grief
Black, blue, and green, to my bewildered spouse
Who has wondered what has become of me
And why suddenly I’ve begun mourning

He thinks that I’m a reflection of him
So he doesn’t notice the wounds within
The...

My existence-script authored by God
     presents varied genre-blends 
          beautifying every episode
               as prolonged suspense

I wanna live to a hundred-and-three
A minor footnote in history
Oh yeah

I wanna live to a hundred-and-six
They’ll bury my bones among the sticks
Oh yeah

I wanna live to a hundred-and-nine
My blood just like fermented wine
Oh yeah

I wanna live to a hundred-and-twelve
Baby I’ll never kill myself
Oh no

I wanna...

We were both going to college. 
Science class is where we both met, 
I was astonished at his knowledge. 

My thoughts of him more than friends, 
as some girls eyed him with his letter-man sweatshirt.
He was tall and looked so handsome. 

When the day's classes...

I was supposed to die today
Week after week I'd withered away
I could no longer face the desperate hours
Always reminded that I have no power
I have no love and I have no hope
No more have I the ability to cope
I wanted to die and that was...

One day,I stood on the mountain
Watching security forces using force to disperse demonstrators
Who had gathered in  the commercial capital___
Blocked off traffic to a large part of the city:
To protest against their leaders' prolonged years in power.

His henchmen believe that he has kept his country,

Prolonged sickness



At the first sight
Sickness is a luxury coach
Bed of apples
Party of toast and eggs
Crowded like a holiday trip.

Soon after
Sickness sickens 
Like  diabetes;
Dense faces turn thin and hazy,
Cripples vision;
The sweet sting of arrow 
In the betel leaf
Begins to bite,
Heart fails;
Ambition
Fails to dialyse doubts.


Time wriggles

Prolonged offal bout courtesy constipation... turgid song redux,
a worse hellish fate than perdition really sucks

As of early morning
today - September 8th, 2022,
I could not but barely move
mine whole body felt
analogous to sluggish mollusk
frequent constipation found me
doubled over in gastrointestinal agony
as if elephant stomping on tummy
or...

Prolonged offal bout courtesy constipation... redux
a worse hellish fate than perdition

At least forty eight hour time span
lapsed whereby big boy wanted to cry
explaining how yours truly 
felt he would die
an undertaking malaise
found me experiencing physical duress vis a vis,
a bowel movement,
wherein waste unable to expel
from...

Upon swallowing first or second named laxative
or sprinkling Mix-in powder pack,
within 8+ ounces of water,
not aesthetically pleasing major drawback
foisting human waste heavy as a full coalsack
sometimes burned and scorched black
movement came swift, on par how fast
snaky Mister liquid Plumber doth attack
obstructed potty bowl.

Well now... monumental...

It seems not even your own God could answer my prayer,
Truth be told, he may have someone for you that is better.
Even after you have moved on, my love is still getting stronger....

My spinal column was extremely painful.
As a believer in bodily regeneration 
I had endured for long, hopeful
For a natural recuperation.

However, the condition kept getting worse.
Changing sides in bed waxed hard.
The back felt any sudden force
On the ribs if pushed outward.

It being then several weeks of...

Hampered decades withered wasted
         Filtered faint supposed adult phases
         Thumb stuck under parental watch
         Otherwise valid options squashed

The earth continues to fight
Against the virus
Strenuously
A prolonged war indeed
And once MCO is off
Families start to gather
Hearts come closer
Love reunion
Suddenly
I heard a heart cries
Before MCO again
Please hurry back home, love
I miss you so...
