yet who most deaf fin knit lee

I listen because Sound is not dead, but living.

I listen because I hear life through a variety of sounds. Sounds shout, cry, sing, soothe, provoke, and sometimes even pause. 

I don’t listen when sound is...

Why do flowers have such color and charm,  
The sky is blue: the woolly clouds march past
Au revoir to the day.  To memories of unconquered
Problems and market struggles that avail us naught. 
We...

And one day
Out of the blue I wondered, 
about those million little sacrifices that have been made
Because of which, the desires burning inside
Had no option other than to fade
How many times, the times not liable...

Dragon Anguish

Adam clenched his fists attempting to block his senses
from the growing growls that hammered against his rib cage.
The thousands of millenniums he had lived barricading his heart
from all worldly emotions.

Adam looked up at the...

I gently beckon inspiration
for dalliance with mother tongue
English Language, each
singular lettered manifestation
familiar to yours truly symbolized
by panoply, sans twenty six letters,

whereby this patient scrivener
luxuriates, when writer's block
yields sudden gush,
nee burst of creativity
dissolving impenetrable wall

I’m too tired to tell another story 
About the pangs of reality 
of my barricading delusions 
and my spontaneous God given days 

A long wait ;A fat fate
A nine day wonder that forever lay in...

What’s lost can’t be found,
        what’s old can’t be familiar.
Sincerity freely reeks-
             crimson tears run down...

I forgot who I was and no longer know who I want to be
All I know is I have become a stranger
Who is this person who is supposed to be me

All of the dreams I...

Over all the in-securing challenges
the unsettling pressures encapsulating the speed of life
time fades and loses its taste locked out here
but within I have no fear
because
upward I stare and steer over that gate of liberty outside...

WHITE SHADOW
-------------------
Cornered in opalescence
No walls to be found
The abyss its residence
The address unknown

Its countenance clear
As frozen solid stone
Collaged in aqueous blue
Painted misty gray

Its irridescence seen
But presence unseen
Epitomizes the trace
Of a fallible illusion
Portray as fumes of
Charcoal...

I have stopped dreaming about the dilapidating person,
And began to open the vital eyes of the forlorn reality,
Yet, if you observe the time’s dimension in milliseconds
Then you would realise the existence of dark shadows,
Lurking to...

Pretending to be true.
Lying to myself again & again.
Hard-hearted: self-doubting.
I’m everything in-between.
Masquerading in a mask of hypocrisy.
Lingering in the dust.
I must insist I am nothing but a man.
Translating the rhythms of this heart of mine.
Into...

My nerve cells are ceasing my thoughts 
My breath is barricading my life
My limbs are trembling 
My heart is hovering in fear

Oh mommy!  I am being victimized by me. 

The earth is sinking under...

You leave the car at what was once, 
in old reality, a farm and where the
National Trust democratise so now not cows 
but parking motorists feel alarm.

Across a road are loos, ex milking parlours

Books are portal like door, 
Which takes me to the ocean and centuries to centuries, 
I become tired, 
The books tell me that I am not alone, They are in my heart.

But my mother believes...

I used to hear words of pain
I’m used to hearing words of defeat
In this traumatic drama of my life
I realise they no longer need a body
The spill from lips wide open

Stained on my mind 
From...

They Don't Know

As the dawn parades its certainty of luminous day,
They thought the day is the same,
They see the smiles of the birds,
Swirls of the sweet morning air,
But malice rapes and pollutes the harmony,
They thought...

Reheated road
Reheated road retired by moving pandemonium,
Altercating, bitching, clamoring and demanding 
sluggishly set forward 
Birds and flies dispersed towards different directions
Their infuriate cry overspread the moving commotion 

Against the riot the power standing 
highly fortified,...

We have the world all to ourselves, free of cost
We own everything on and above the earth,     
Abundant food and the water and milk to drink, 
And gold nuggets sprout from...

My disability builds high brick walls
Barricading the bright parts of my brain
My disability holds the inner woman hostage
While the little girl is left to run
My disability sets fire to my fears
Flames of anger and jealousy...

Totems in the sky, they deaden the night
Barricading the stars, no sign of light
Clouds of grey, quickly bringing dismay
A message from above; will this be the day
I pray for the sun to chase them away

Words like daggers
Straight through my heart
Shredding my soul
Tearing apart
My dreams, in whole
But saving a piece 

A tantalizing hope
Never within the reach
Of my calloused hands
Barricading me into a room
With only my thoughts
Like shadows, they creep
Into my...

We can't escape.
All of you, every last one of you,
You see what I see.

Barricading ourselves from interactions which define us as living things,
Lurking about on a specimen of actual existence,
The reprogramming thrives.

We lose signs of...

The strength of mankind,
The seat of his power,
Assailed by conflicting thoughts,
Troubled by opposing preferences,
Pressured by ambivalent choices,
If left unguarded,
It breeds nettles and briers,
Stifling its positive reins,
It can't be left fallow,
A sign of inertia,
It can't be...
