Cup
The love I have for you wakes me at night. It sends me out at all hours shouting, Darting down the sidewalk in both directions. It never smiles and always expects the worst. It looks for you when you’re already there. The love I have hollows me out with bombs when I sleep, Then packs the broken spaces with flowers...

Mother's Intuition
On January’s bright and sunny afternoon, A son was born beneath a golden sun. But in my heart, as a mother I knew, Something hidden, not yet true. Through months of change, my thoughts would race, I studied, I questioned, I set my pace. Cardiac systems, blood and flow, My mind, a labyrinth, seeking to know. My gut, my instinct, soft yet loud, A...

Written: March 27, 2025, for Sponsored by: Mystic Rose Rose *********** Waves into twilight that is now absent. From flowers clipped just before their ideal flight. Irony changes with the pulse and its might. Their immaculate poetics is transcendent. Her strands of talent are enduring mysteries. A...

The exigent mountain in the tough terrain of upheaved life, crumbling, needs to be climbed as the solemn summit alluringly calls. I follow the undefined trail in surging storm of stifling strife, relentless. I cross with piety the divine...

Invitations to life
Dive deep if sea seems inviting enough, Leap in a river, forget swelling flood, Climb on to that temptingly tricky crest, Walk down to the valley sloping that go, Be guest to an unknown nameless forest, Explore a hamlet never found on map, Meditate else on shore of tranquil lake, Try, make friends with men of an unknown tribe… That’s how those...

Why does he provoke me to anger? He stalks among us - with his song - a wolf's grin His inimicality beckons like a hawk's talons, luring prey to certain death Yet he imparts wisdom to those who bleed Beware! his insights twist like a pit of pepper x vipers; devouring souls He spins tales of survival and primal instinct Beneath the façade lies decay concealing...

Misplaced Maternal Instinct, Part II
...And I suppose therein lies the rub, since society as a whole is not like mother and child, it does not fit into such roles. To grow feelings are sometimes hurt, in fact they are guaranteed to, and half the time the push-and-pull is what generates something new. And often the failure in those we see who claim they’re ‘victims’ and ‘oppressed,’ tells others what...

Misplaced Maternal Instinct, Part I
I head an interesting thought on the state of the world today, about the wokeness, the PC, and why we’re degrading this way, That tied it to something that we often celebrate quite a lot, that would be maternal instinct, the kind that most women have got, that’s why we’re seeing such softness, such growing degeneracy, is that they’re placing this instinct on the whole of...

Blatant display of weaponry on Republic day, perhaps tradition, invoking pride and patriotism but somehow I feel, such muscle flexing, crass and vulgar, is best avoided by all regimes who so flaunt aggressive intent but there’s a vote bank, that looks forward to fanning fires and so the monarch goes with the script which is proven to keep him and his cronies in power....
