On A Rainy Evening in The City

...

Your ear has to be
tuned to hear 
the City's rhythms  
buried below the noise
and be able to discern 
a melody woven through
the dissonant chatter
as in the rumble and splash 
of motorcar...

Midway Psalm

...The Ferris wheel, a spoked and sputtering crown,

Where gravity forgot to work its shift for me.
Neon stu...

A Jarring Circumlocution

...
      Today I hear a jarring circumlocution
         ‘One solution, intifada revolution’

      The first Intifada lasted from ’87 to ‘93
          A perilous time to be an Israeli

      160...

A Victorian Christmas Carol

...Did Robert Browning say it best when he
wrote, “winter takes the old ones”? Possibly.
Bronchitis, pthisis, whooping cough, T.B. –
they ran amock in 1863.

I trust it’s not too jarring if I jump

What Stones in Rivers Remember

...
Stones remember,
the first cold plunge 
in ice-melt currents
hurling the sense of fear.

They remember
each bump, each grind,
each sudden collision,
that carved their surface

The Truth Rolls On

...A ceaseless exhibition that stings,
Amongst matchless marvels on world screens,
A pleuritic pain to my soft breath it brings,
Subtle slight pulses caught in baleful scenes.

A blooming rushed ps...

The Prismatic Self

...
'I think, therefore I am!'
I write to bang and clang,
to play with words, cast spells.

Wrangle and entangle readers,
with thoughts dredged from memories,
resonating, reverberating within sel...

Weeping Shall Endure

...The dins of war un-hushed 
the jarring of munitions 
the cacophony of starvation
the grating contempt for humanity 
the discordant silence of the Free 
. . . The World...

Trying to REM ember the waking stage of an emotionally tormenting dream

...The following account predicated on partial fact and a healthy dose of prevarication with an attendant overactive imagination.

Trying to REM ember the waking stage of an emotionally tormenting dre...

WHEN PROPHECY SPOKE

...

The question hung, a silent weight,
"Is God a truth, or sealed by fate?"
A whispered doubt, a searching gaze,
Lost in life's intricate maze.

Then came a shift, a jarring sound,
As unseen f...

crow cawed

...eyes closed
we listen
koel sings
nodes glisten

all’s well
but then
jarring notes
mar zen

ripples rise
stifling bliss
do nothing
notice this

who within
so stumbled
bend low
we’re ...

Azure Vistas

"Azure Vistas"

Azure vistas presented themselves to me
rolling inwards the clouds like tumbleweeds
mercilessly bump fallen angels off the map
like torrents of rain fal...

Hollow Room

...Hollow Room

The emptiness of your room full of things is jarring 

It’s silence so loud you can hear it
toys once alive now stoic 
bedtime stories reduced to ink and paper
Stuffed animals onl...

MIND

...Where inside this skull
(this soon to be abandoned cave),
is mind?

Not an ever-dying brain,
but ‘mind’
that infinite capacity
of higher cognizance.

Did death leave us like this,

Ring Tones

...When choosing a ring tone,

On your nerves or turn into
A sound that you hate.

They vary from gentle
To jarring or shrill,
While doing the job
They’re designed to ful...
