In the twilight where shadows whisper secrets of forgotten epochs
In the twilight where shadows whisper secrets of forgotten epochs,
An old man stands, a spindly relic of a bygone era,
So brittle he could shatter through himself,
From crown to root,
A cathedral of detritus,
Each layer a sigil of time's cryptic runes.
No mirror needed to see the strata of his life,
Crimson layers of sorrow from the auto deaths
Of

Women Charting New Epochs and Reforms
Spiders kept weaving their webs,
Dust knocking on closed windows,
Within closed books and cupboards,
Coolness settled in.
Among the stacks of dozens of books,
Mosquitoes turned like ascetics,
Taking residence in the classroom's walls,
As the clock on the wall continued ticking.
At last, I embraced transformation,
A revolution was imperative,
For women's existence,
In the evolving fabric of society,
And for the ultimate triumph -
Where

Epochs of Life
A lake is slumbering beneath a halcyon sky,
This land has no daybreak nor blackness vie.
Angst crusts float on their substrate surface,
Able and pallid, it defends an idyllic space.
Gray granite emerges from the dreary edge,
A half-light day adorns a barren field hedge.
The aimless times seem to last forever,
I am that bright poor fisherman together.
My boat and

Hidden Epochs
Âges roam around their
end and the place of death
is fix and lurking.

Epochs of Perpetual Love
epochs drenched in pallets
of yellow silhouettes,
spanning lifetimes of
forever I love you’s-
seasons stretched in
shades of crimson secrets,
measuring time only
with cups of hope-
seconds and minutes
saturated in forgiveness,
cadence of memoirs
released in adoring armor...
for I am but a perpetual ghost,
raptured inside what you love most-
freedom rests in thoughts of our decree...
eventide ascends for love's guarantee.

Epochs of Womanhood
Epochs of womanhood
1 VIRGIN
With malar flushes,
Causelessly she blushes,
In solitude, to herself she smiles,
While walking, aimlessly she tarries.
With a startled look,
Whom does she seek?
2 YOUTH
Her blue eyes,
Reminiscent of skies,
Her golden hair seem,
Akin to a bright solar beam,
Her limbs tender,
Her waist slender.
Nature bares the Truth
Of full-blown-flower of Youth!
3 MOTHERHOOD
Her grown up
