Excavation
I press my hands into the ruins of you, fingertips cut in the quiet rot of ancient wounds that have never quite been touched. Beneath splintered ribs, your earth is sulfurous in suffering— your volcanic pulse muffled under sediment, heart-rages arrested in amber. I carve through your marrow-deep dusks, knuckles bloodied on the bedrock of guilt, digging past rusted veins and forgotten altars, until...

Excavations expose stunning skulls of history, Where-around emblazoned scripts cultures and creatures; Minds of human beings and their mass mystery, The whole lot that surrounds them with all true features... Be it Rosetta stone or Ashurbanipal's, Troy or king Tut's tomb; Machu Picchu or Pompeii; Be Akrotiri Tehra or the Dead Sea Scrolls, Olduvai Gorge, or structures stunningly cozy... I have been wondering...

Time mends the broken heart; a timeless feat. Time drys the eyes that once, could only weep. Life’s highs and lows; a harmonizing beat. A soulful hymn; time’s echo buried deep. The truth of time; lies within a moment. By eternity; will Death be survived? Death kindly stops for all; life’s atonement. If death may die, will all lost have...

You had your tools to create this moment. Discovery our truth and bring light to darkest showing. I trusted who I wanted you to be. You gave me all the lies baby. You took my wings so you could fly baby. You teal bricks & stone hearts just to see if love is compost. You broke up to drain...

For good foundations, one must excavate - removing rocks or muck or sediment. Without this process, how can one create a solid base on an impediment? “Build not on sand,” a Holy One once said. (I paraphrase; I think you get the gist.) Remove the dirt and grit inside your head. You cannot have a good life if a tryst with things immoral...

If I had not seen the sulfur-yellow back-hoe  roll past my window;  far, far too early this morning; I would have assumed the jack-hammer;  pounding in my head; was the product of a usual night; Jack Daniels on a payday, a bottle - or two, of cheap tequila on all others. I stagger painfully to the window  observing the infernal machine scraping; clawing, scraping away layer...

They excavated him, her youngest son, who passed away too soon at age nineteen, to join her second son, who had just died at fifty-five- to the new hollowed plot. There, side-by-side- together, brothers slept neath velvet grass, under a graceful tree, where she would leave her flowers and her tears; a mother's love for them would always be. No way would she...

Children as young as three years old, Killed for not doing as they’re told, Forced to forget their culture bold, What a tragedy to unfold! Two hundred fifteen, that ain’t less, Young innocents abused, suppressed, How can humans be so heartless? It breaks my heart, I...

The sun-soaked meandering valley of my lucent life Drained by the cadence of elated stream swirling Around the cluster of glimmering gold nuggets Carved out of life’s valued golden moments. With the sailing sediments of euphoria dislodged The sparkling pieces roll on the turbulent time In the torrent of the cloud-burst falling sky Flow to the flood plain of obscurity far. In search...

Awkward silence seizes me Everytime I find you graze Now that's it's all over Still don't understand you forger You are a puzzle That entangle When I tried solving it all the way Realised you were away Each time I forgave your mistakes You took new takes When I tried to avoid You found new ways to make it void You have made it...

In the heart of a silent moment The thought of the past drifts gently Coloring my thoughts in lavender embers Creating a world of inspirations intently In the soul of a dewdrop smile The music of love captures my desire Laughing with hope for the joyful light Breathed through the darkness like a live wire In the twinkling of a stardust glimmer The poetry...
