I can see that we seemed to be happy 
As I look at an old photograph.
But now our mouths
Seem almost paralysed
Or are tight and grim.
I vaguely recall a...

No Primus Inter Pares

Germans at the Costa Brava they just cannot yield
‘Brava’ the fight and they are conquering once more

Always the first on the beach or the striped deck chair but

Hazy,
fading 
pictures 
awaiting 
the 
justification 
of 
an 
artist
Strange 
echoing 
voices
demanding 
some 
clarification.
A 
microscopic 
assertion
of 
a 
kaleidoscopic 
impression 
drawing 
a 
break 
through
from 
a 
labyrinth.......
......i 
pity 
the 
poet 
in 
love

I 
pity 
the 
artist,
burdened 
with 
the 
onus
of

Scriptures declare that believers be true
to be faithful to Christ always in His way
being not unequally yoked to unbelievers

Righteousness can't compare with lawlessness
it's totally opposite having nothing in...

I've been meaning to write for a long time. 
but sometimes 
my words willingly remain hostage 
in my heart. 
Not wanting to be heard.
Covered and crumpled.
I cannot sink in 
I am 18.
it's frightening,
Getting old

Boundless inkiness
Set colourfully ablaze as lightning thoughts
Burst through the intricate maze of grey
Eyes opened, shimmering with fragments of imagination
Overwhelmed with bubbling awe-struck wonder

A glimpse of a creature of imperceptible beauty
Rising from the shadowy ashes of...

Grackles

I rambled along a city street
Going nowhere with no one to meet.
When I espied grackles in a tree,
Stretching and heckling between the leaves.
Purplish headed, black feathered beings.
Perched on the branches, stately and free.

Undaunted by my...

fetishized lament
echoed
from colourfully besmeared winding sheet


devouring luminosity
become my pivotal infringement
vigorous luminosity


somethin' s wrong with her transcript
    -they said, and put me behind iron pipes


my name dawned divested
and encapsulated in frame

At Paro of Bhutan I found the clouds
Gathering over the snow white peaks
Over the summit the deep blue shroud
Kept looking on in dazed disbelief

If one takes up my fountain pen
Or snatches my favourite umbrella
Restless naturally...

Tables groaned with the weight of food
What a sight to behold, slimy eyeballs
floating around in green lizard soup

Skewered brains covered with dragons
blood and snakes venom sprinkled over
frogs legs strung on pigs intestines

Bats wings that are...

I have seen Millennia in
and now its twenty fifty
I somehow made my century
rejoycing with my family.

It has passed it seems
in the mere eye blink. 
Now I remeninsce
held close in loving arms

Festivity floods the senses
stores groaning...

In a City full of travellers, I decided to 
stay awhile,
This visiting visitor was venturing,
The streets were colourfully decorated, 
crowded and bustling,
People were dressed in sparkly costumes,
sang and danced, all offering a friendly 
smile.

The eyes...

OH THAT COLOURFUL DESIGN…

That colourfully designed  paper that can make one insane…
Crazily sought after by young and old,
Humans live on it till they die
Always throwing men into mayhem.

Preferred above nature
Preferred above love
Preferred above the...

I’m the reason that we’re all alive,

Colourfully, a canopy transforms and unveils 
Burnt, bold oranges, rich crimsons, and butternut golds
