Shikata ga nai
When the twinkling trust of tamarind tides, cascades in catastrophes and turmeric-tinted tulips become a treason for sun temples ~ I slowly drift like a diluted drop, ruffled in the consciousness of Nyx, where the nefarious nightglows unfurl a midnight rose-glazed moon, resting in thunders of the third eye and our spirits are but ~ a shimmering mirage sequined with glittering glaciers, and refracted through those...

“Shikata ga nai” is a Japanese term meaning “It cannot be helped.” Please journey with me as I attempt to be a small change needed in this world. It is so much easier to look the other way, or hurl insults at the homeless standing on the median, sign in hand, begging for change. Compassion should be first and foremost, not...

Time speeds away unmindful, ages added on to eons, piling changes on change, it moves on, seldom posing lull and loll. With the current rushing swift and fleet we race past from old to new from times primeval to times neoteric watching the ceaseless chain of births and deaths tasting life's vicissitudes of joy and pain In this unwinding circuit of...

“This is love: to fly toward a secret Sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.” ~ Rumi Life can be a pilgrimage through rainless moors and solemn seascapes draped in mists of soundless mayhem, where bleeding butterflies reflect the fading stars etched with...

The Trails of Sanity Why do I care if the disturber carries on Why is it I cannot just wait it out, bide my time Be more mindful, try and bond Embrace what I don’t understand Welcome the scorching taste in my mouth I wait, I watch, and watch and wait what seems a millennium The afterglow of embers still burn Just sit tight… The...

In an old bus, patience thinned by midnight As bitterness drifted long, feeling bleak Wiping hours with restless air in dark light Not a robin cooed through skyline's mystique Finding unrest from a breeze in dull shade Where time slept with eyes open, a pale flow, A peasant beside...

The world I used to love seems upside down. I use my phone, and I get a robot. Oftentimes I just hang up with a frown. The tempers of stressed folks can get so hot good manners seem to have walked right out the door. Why aren’t people thinking their actions through? Must films use nasty words and so much gore. Profanity...

Pervasive personal questions people ask, shredding to shards what truly is me. The pieces are of no use to them though, the effort seems at times to stem from veiled spite, incisive curiosity or even subtle affront. I forcefully flinch to introspect, ask myself why I’m under their prying lens, and don’t answer. Caustic comments people often make on the manner I behave, that...

“What the heart can’t speak of, poetry does.” Quote- Poets own I wish I were the who I used to be Before I began with anxiety So much has happened to stir fear and dread That stops me sleeping peacefully abed. Once I was as joyful as one could be Till worry came and stayed inside of me I smile through each...

You say you're leaving me now? This cannot be! Why? How? I cannot say goodbye. Tell me what you want from me. I'll be what you want me to be. Give me one more try. Still, you walk out of the door? For time to grieve, I implore. I need time to cry. Now, I have things...

Some things cannot be changed. However, you need not react; It is nonsensical to do so. Keep your focus on the things you can change And let the things that you cannot change go. Take time to let them roll off your back And stay peaceful. Getting injured cannot be helped with cries or screams And requires the positivity of focusing on rehabilitation. Naturally,...
