Then you thought of giving up; Breathing and living, you craved no more. But when the angel arrived to lead you to everlasting peace, You thought of me - how I would spend nights blaming myself For not seeing all the signs, How I would clutch your clothes in my arms, Bringing it up to my nose to take a sniff. You...

Stepping in water, displacing the pool. Walking prudently in body and mind. For there is no room for a squatter, forcing spillage over water’s bind Secure a space for your form, sitting gingerly at witness. One cannot see past the water's norm. Hence be one within it....

(untitled blockprint block, 2023) Undoing The Ties That Bind Moments tasted within the gaps between moments undo the ties that bind.

In the midst of a raging storm dance, A man of strength takes up his stance, Against the storm that seeks to tend, The ties that bind, he won't rescind. His weary eyes survey the bed, Where his little fragile boy lay, A little fighter, heart so bold, Seeking comfort as life unfolds. Father's gaze meets son's own light, Their spirit connected so tight, In...

Hopelessly mesmerized by your exquisite allure, There was no verse to express this hypnotic trance. Trapped in bright orbs of speckled green fire, I became an instant captive to your fixed gaze. Your lethal glance stabbed my pulsating heart; As I was left gasping for breath, body trembling. With one sultry, seductive flutter of thick lash, The last seeds of fruitless defiance...

We can't all be the same Diplomacy fails us Hunt us down Cage us Berate us endlessly; It cannot be, It cannot be, it cannot be! Impose, demand, declare Where are the ultimatums? You are the chain that binds The world that judges The everyone that rejects We can't be completely free from you, Is that why you shake us? We we will always need you, Is that...

Ties that bind, scars that hurt Float around in my life Shadows of isolation sprinkle my face Blades of power hold my mouth Words of silence cannot escape The thunderous ploy of the heart Ties that bind, scars that hurt remain strong! Hearts that bleed are hearts that feed off the weight of love The sudden shift of emotion illuminates the darkness The singleness...
