A Jasmine Garland Seller
A female tongue pushes me down from the swing of sleep.
Rain kids rouse the stink of railway track in the dawn.
A long chain of complaints tinkles on her lips.
Worries about her female children at home

His liquor reddened...

Sold words like “Moksha” an...

Callum is an old-fashioned man on the verge of becoming history’s memory

Ancient even in that he holds only one job but that is for privation of another 

Sort of a whiz kid at what he does and his curriculum vitae very straight forward

Has always been...

The Balloon Seller
Every day, the undercover soldier
Used to buy her big balloons
Red, blue, yellow, green, colourful and free
In those lazy afternoons

She let them fly with a smile on her face
Her laughter ringing around
He watched her do that every single day
And yet bought her balloons round

One day, he...

The Carpet Seller and Dali Lama 

The carpet seller in Cascais is tall wears kaftan and his ebony 
face looks as a relief of an Egyptian Farao…. Carries his carpets
 on his forearm (like an offering) and show to tourists who sit

Once I said, “A great world this would be
if it somehow became excuse-free.”
We no longer could say,
“I will do that some day
if I get around to it. We’ll see!”

If we’re honest, we all will admit
there are times when we don’t want to quit
doing things we...

Who could never resist a dance

So many good stories inside and every last one is true
Oh! how my Lord Jesus died this from an insiders view
Daniele's new friend the lion or Lots wife turning to salt

Shady Seller
I will be a witness to this

To all this bad business 

Practice gets lost in the need for money

Quality drops when you question it they act funny

Saying they are right and the customer is the dummy

Are you going to stand or stay for it

Even though...

A Best Seller

This would make a wonderful song,
When in his arms you always belong
And a great guitar player he now is;
A beat or a note he will never miss.

to sleep with smile and to forget his mother
Though he is a poor bangle seller
his  poem will be too high and luxury
There he compares his son as a prince of his empire...
