Life’s greatest mystery
is Death –
It’s not God,
It’s not Soul,
It’s not the heavens
Or the laws of Nature.

The inevitable end
to our existence,
The only sanctuary
from the rigors of life,
The final destination
to our life’s journey;
No matter which way
you traverse,
You are bound
to end up dead!

Life is like riding a horse

the sugar-coated jasmine sigh
breeds jealousy - bellicose-blue sky.

sunflowers vastly disappear in ash -
the yellow beauties pure joy
immortalize in dearth.

Brutes, take your hands off the yellow-blue flag!
Townsfolk stand tall with vultures' dissection.
They hide their pride in each cranny and crag.
Beasts never share in Ukraine's affection.

With blade sharp tongue his words stung
with the pain felt when funeral hymns are sung.
In a mournful voice, off key of course,
as was his choice in the way he spoke to me.

I was blind not to foresee
the dagger that soon would be
plunged deep into my...

It was the beginning of a summery season,
In that beautiful dress, adorned with baby blue and pink
Opened back, opened toe sandals; she gave me a wink
That sundress took my breath away, I wanted to say "hello" but lacked  a reason

i tried to ignore the dreamy steps
with their gapping eyes staring,
undressing me until no flesh 
is left, nor bones.

Life.

Again, i tried to ignore 
the sound of a train-like roar
as this soul of my own 
walks the cracked broken rails
of living this citrus -orange life

Threads unravel, bare and thin,
the fabric frays where life begins.
I trace the scars along my skin,
each mark a map of storms within.
Breath catches where the silence looms,
a heavy weight in shadowed rooms.
Fingers graze the fractured seams,
mending moments lost to dreams

The winds you speak of touch...

Why does your cat only have nine lives?
The cat o'nine whip has three strands
Plaited cords unraveled thrice
Nine to three, three to three.
Cat plays bold for three
Strays for next three,
Stays in for
last three

trickling streams   enlist fingers stroke
translating silent stares script air bubbles

soul skirmishes   dying   and breath twitches
her amort jabs shatter blind eyes

soft breaths   linger aphonic   sighs
surfboarding alongside rocky creeks

you wish to decry me with   metaphors
whispered secrets   shared solely betwixt...

In the depths of his mind, a guy in enigma
Wandered through the haze of his own confusion
He had lost his way, and could not find his place
He searched for answers, but only found more questions
Lost in the labyrinth of his own thoughts
He felt as though...

I’m finally growing up; I realize
Real eyes can recognize these real lies

Lies he, in a landscape barren
Bearin’ a false teachin’ he believed in.
 
Deceived by these elders, he felt like the bait
Bate the result as they betray the whole class of '08
Ate the lessons; trusted;...

Rejections feared
That have come true
My heart’s been seared
Romantic coup
All hopes and dreams
They fade away
Unraveled seams
Begin to fray

Eyes wide open
Still not seeing
Always hopin’
And believing
I will collapse
I fall apart
There’s left no chance
For lonely hearts

When waves crash down
A sight to see
You weren’t around
They crashed on me
The setting sun

I've been waiting for you for quite a while
Though when you resurfaced I was unable to smile

I was tangled up in a web of lies
with the one I needed to say goodbye

His grip was strong as he held me tight
Blinding me; I could not see...
