A Whisper Into the Kitchen Floor
He tastes the salt before he knows he's shed a tear
He'd always been a staggering man
Since his Army days known by most simply as Big Roy
Now he's a staggered man
This night, curved and hunched
Bags so...

Firework maker's daughter
As the southern winds blew,
I, all but a firework maker’s daughter; stood still.
He demanded I learn the craft as he taught,
but that was never my intention at heart.
I sought not to carry forward his legacy,
but...

Wistful moods in mahogany frames

The Echo Returns Not
In the stillness of a twilight hour,
Where shadows stretch and silence grows,
I call out to the fading light,
But the echo returns not, as it goes.
Beneath the boughs of ancient trees,
Whispers linger on the breeze,
Yet every...

Now That We Are Here
Life is an interesting phenomenon
Everyone talks about it.
But who knows about it completely?
Is it so difficult to be fathomed?
Having said that it’s not bizarre to comprehend.
All scriptures teach the logics of life.
But the...

The Flying Flakes of Wishes
Flakes fly around— of old wishes,
Unfulfilled and still far from dead,
Borne by age-old rickety bed,
Burdens of old dreams still anguish.
In teeming tamas, a lone head,
Old wishes free from a long leash,
Long-bottled perfume un-faded,
Its scent ye...

Three Brothers
three connected by blood
three fated to strive
three to stem the flood
three, of whom one must die
together they stood and answer'd the call
as one they stood, to country's cry
in mind as one man tall
in history, to...

Reassured
*Reassured*
Amidst the glitzy party, I wallow in suffocation,
Secluded in the bathroom – my apt accommodation.
Trapped within the hollow walls, I weep aloud,
Brutally slapping myself until my brain clouds.
My nerves throttling, I strangle...

Love's Simplicity
Old wisdom runs deep
Like rivers through our bodies
Heart speaks what mind knows
Blood carries stories forward
Through time's gentle flow
Love flows in our veins
Like songs sung by our parents
Nature keeps its course
What we learn...

Interlude
Interlude
It becomes apparent
As the days go by
That with years behind you
A desire quietly lye’s
A commitment is made
Day one after the kiss
Of a life full of wonder
Wanting of love and bliss
So for every kiss of...

A Piece of Dream
I look behind to see my dream has shattered
into a million pieces on the floor

Listen To the Moon
The plain is fuzzing with the ingress racing.
Predicted rain is heard in the birds singing.
Sow your seed when the moon tells its time.
Hear the tales close to the fire; it's sublime.
Contemplate the skies for the...

Feeding the Ducklings
Feeding the ducklings one day,
I slipped and fell in all the way.
'Though the lake was murky,
the weather was sultry.
I was inclined to stay.
As I floated on my back,
I heard the ducklings quack.
The fluffy clouds rolled...

The Trade Off
Red bulb
casts sultry shadow
across the
room
spilling onto the
street
air heavy with
illicit
night scent
rain smog weed and
jack
clinging
along for the ride
blurry eyed
distorted reflection dares you
“look up”
shoes
high with painted toes
pulse quickens
stockinged legs the
pathway to shapely...

The First Date
She was the first to disappear
Behind the mannequin in "Quirk",
And he, from the cretaceous year
Followed like a Rex in dark.
She swallowed a tranquillizer
And that was showing on her cheeks
pink like a shade of amber,...

Nod To Greed
His was a lifetime
spent grabbing
storing
stashing
garnering
stealing
collecting
depositing
amassing...
try-try-trying to fill
his soul hole carved deep
from a youth
from a poverty
of having nothing.
But all was but a sinkhole
each stash

Right But Wrong
Ain't it funny
How one day you're right
Then the next day you're wrong
Hanging on tough
Trying to stay strong
During those days
That drag on so long
When you're not right
You're wrong
But oh those days
