Stillness in Motion
...I am here,
on this bench,
as if the world’s still spinning
but I forgot how to move with it.
The air is thick,
like it’s waiting for me to do something
to lift the weight off my shoulders.
But...

Summer
...Summer is one of those things.
When it’s gone, it’s like losing a wedding ring.
Searching under the bed.
But all I get is ghosts instead.
We don’t have to hibernate.
I remember all the ice cream...

Fantastic four
...A genuine hero isn't one that's flawless
Arguably not the one garmented with
Absolute forfeits but one who is purely
Accountable in securing relationships

Ode To the Jogger
...The jogger with goal in mind,
Slings stress right with each climb
The jogger jogs with cells renewed
When oxygen flows fresh, like
Hemoglobin running through and through
The Jogger jogs on w...

You Know Who You Are
...You Know Who You Are.
I read you the truth and you backed away
Your rose-tinted glasses went back to the day
They edged out, all that pain and hurt

Home and Dry
...An explosion occurred at the nearby car plant
In a road where my son often jogs
He isn’t today, he says that he can’t
Cos it’s raining Datsun cogs.

Night Guard Dogs

It’s getting dark!
Long gone to nest, the lark…

Good nominees for Satan’s laurels,
Just for their vicious teeth that spark,
Time to interminably bark

Takes another sip of blackberry wine.
Headphones are in.
Music makes her grin.
Semi gets her when she jogs over the line....

The incalculable losses it occasions one’s image.
Often with fried, oily chicken:
A company that doesn’t anything damage!
For all early morning jogs promptly ready!

Our land cruiser was windowless, and sitting in a lovely spot.

His unvarying routine drives him toil worn.
Accomplishing his chore and jogs down wearily
At twilight, goes down the horizon slowly.
Brilliant and fla...
