KARMAKarma that patient gangster
Very slow in action
But never fails to repay
Creeps into your life
Paying in double all your deeds
After replaying all your acts
Karma is just like a seed well planted in a good soil, it always germinates.
Karma the avenger
Rewarding your deeds accordingly
Either good or bad
The seeds you sowed
That's...

Transcending soulIn my soul, transcending this world, I aspire to become anything other than a mere being made of flesh.
A light awaits me, attainable by a simple touch.
My whole being vibrates as I strive to reach that clarity.
“That's why I still walk this planet,” I whisper.
Despite my morals and my suffering, I'm gradually detaching myself from...

Hello, old friend"Grievance upon you,
My mere mortal kin.
You didn’t try hard enough,
Now sit with your sin"
I’ve sat here before,
And I know your game.
You feed on my sorrow
And wear it as shame.
"You...

Moon On Iceberg - Rondelet
Moon on iceberg
it's dim like magic on a corpse
Moon on iceberg
Jack in Rose's arms, frost returns;
this cold of moon and sea will pour
after she kills it going forth —
Moon on iceberg...

Battle scarred but unbrokenBattle scarred but unbroken
I was captive in a silent war.
My body, the battlefield.
A quiet siege waged beneath my skin,
where cells divided
and uncertainty grew.
This body, once solely mine,
reduced to flesh,
marked like a map,
etched by others’ plans,
endlessly examined,
poked and prodded.
An invisible war raging on,
masked as protocol,
disguised in scans and tests,biopsy reports,
surgical cuts and stitches.
Each treatment discussed...

MISSING HER LIKE BREATHShe's steadily
Keeping me busy
Even when I'm idle
She's always on my mind
Because I miss her like breath
She's an idol
She's always racing in my mind.
My mind is flooded
With thoughts of her
I think I'm addicted to her
A moment without her
It's the moment of hell
She's my heaven, the one I lean on.
I've been lost
In her way
Without...

THE CRY OF A MOSQUITOA mosquito once cried
Why do you all always
Clap your hands
Whenever you see any of us
Some of you buy chemicals
To get rid of us
When you all know we're harmless and homeless.
An insecticide
Screamed from a corner
You're big liar
You blood sucking vampires
Not just that
You also go around
Spreading diseases; eg malaria.
A human replied
You're...

Where Peace Bleeds SlowlyI arrived in Moscow on a morning veiled in silence,
the sky holding its breath over the Kremlin.
Putin’s eyes met Zelenskyy’s—
not as enemies, but men who had buried too many sons.
The vodka was cold, but the room burned with memory.
I said nothing at first—
sometimes, silence is the loudest wisdom.
Then I spoke:
“Peace is not the absence of...

A Whisper Survived"A Whisper Survived"
At 11 sharp, the room stood still,
A war of silence, iron will.
The wall ahead, with dreams pinned tight,
Held echoes from each sleepless night.
The quotes I hung like fading charms,
Now felt like ghosts with folded arms.
Each plan, a whisper from the past,
Of goals I thought would always last.
Above, the fan refused to spin,
Like all...

Colors In A Coffee House
Double time hits for the ceiling —
The clouds of white smoke, the healing
Childhood in my skin finally relaxes
Everyone around me in lapses
Coffee forms the swollen cheeks
With history's pick of bean
Water remembers
Water pushed under embers
The percolator
Like some wound drips her.
Eyes on the preppy barista —
Maybe we both see in similar vistas
She writes down...

Brown EyesIrises color of an ancient oak.
Ancient oak with hues of warm golden honey.
Honey merging into the ancient oak, creating a spellbound glen in those irises.
Irises with such a glow.
Glow only the sun rays catch with their stunning beauty.
Beauty so unique to see in such eyes.
Eyes such an escape from...

SlumpI fall into pits very often; you would think I’d be an expert by now.
I managed to make it halfway up until my foot slipped. Tumbling down into the earth once again, hitting my head on a shovel that was carelessly left in the corner. I picked up the shovel, thinking maybe I can dig...

The Song I Will Not Pass Down
I dreamed a song —
hush tones and haunted chords.
A woman loved once,
and it grew into a tree.
She watered it with years,
fed it her voice,
slept beneath it,
called the silence love.
And in the final verse,
she hung herself in its...
