On a January day
The framework of the nation

Brought forth his brand-new assignment 
If the Democratic Programme did pass

The Sullen Stories Hiding Wholeness --Sonnet 29

The lark of wholeness
At break of a new day
Wipes away separation's grip

...Ten years spun into ballooning wear
Keep slipping through tighter fingers, 
Fresh year's tries in futility repair
Adamant dents of wasting days.

''Life, Ne'Er the Primrose Path of Dalliance''

...Life, ne'er the primrose path of dalliance 
     for me (and in league with this shady world),

Of Pots and Pans

...Taking a derelict path,
With a semblance of security,
Though only a whisker of it
I leave for the past 
Which seems not far
But still out of reach

Tighter than crags hug dewy molds; 
She spurns sparks Reason confers, 
And terms sanest wit profitless fuss. 

Sweetest rank her outmoded views,

A Rebel

...Somewhere in the wilderness,
Among the barren deserts,
And under the swarthy clouds
Lie the dilapidated destination
Of a poor homeless rebel,
Victimized unmercifully to fall
Like a drop of rain...

Love In Pending

Where there is no despondency,
To find saint in living.
