There is this hypothesis
I unjustly
and perhaps traumatically
just made hard and patriarchally up
is not down 
and retentatively not out
soon enough for healthy comings 
and goings

A ridiculous theory
that straight homophobic preachers
and teachers,
prophets
and kings,
pharaohs
and rabbis,
old crows
and magpies

Throughout too...

but this is certainly not intended
to be an instrument of terror
except maybe for the habitual
who are out for my blood
and from whom I am occasionally rescued
speaking of which
it looks like time for my fairy godmother's...

If it were to be foe, I could bear it; He was my friend;
Why should he betray me? In public that too; at the end;
I kept him aside like a bone separated from meat,
Avoided the...

First Snow

Daylight~
My world is covered with pure white snow

Untarnished

The branches of the red pine out my
Window, softly comforted with a thin blanket
Of downy fluff      streets, unmarked by soot,
Await transgressions of...

Uncommon Sense 

Uncommon sense comes to the fore,
Secretly telling us what lies in store.

Memory can be misplaced;
Destiny must surely be faced.
Fame vanishes into thin air;
Undue longing leads to despair.

Live, but never regret;
Forgive, but never forget.
Repent,...

Birthday Funk

Little ones can’t wait to mark the passage of time,
Presents and cake, everyone making a fuss.
Young folks use this time to push out their chests
And say,” look at me”; I’m responsible, I can vote!”
But...

Golden Years


Golden Years who’s kidding who
It’s a farce It’s just not true
Try us old folks to deceive
More like rust I do believe.

For some, things in heaven more real,
nothing from earth granted to conceal.
Comrade of the wandering heaven,
scares characters and their impression.
Desires of someone that must be,
compensations tragic here not to see.
Misty morning by prayers waken,

Deserve we compensations,
        restorations for the witless who riot.
Compassion and pardon for all moronic mobs.

& suspend
confidence

 a triptych

  revolving
elements
'til
   outwardly
 conceived
into
 reality
NOTE:THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE   using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to...

Women who live singly and privately
suddenly become preys to fleas,
who are seeking self serving opportunities,
If they aren't married they are considered
old maids, or bombarded with innuendoes
and clandestine propositions,
The lengths people will go through to make...

Earthquake broke out
Disaster came
No prevention but salvation
Fate is to be blamed or
God is to be blamed
Loss of properties
Deaths
Destructions to landscape 
Countless and unpredictable
Where compensations won't work
Salvation will be
The most important part
They do their parts and...

Reward
To live in the misery of the past unable to let go 
of childhood’s unhappiness but let it fester and 
grow till adult life becomes unbearable, demands
of recognitions and compensations, because their
suffering must be taken...

He comes like the tide
warm sunset eyes, gather stars.
On the sands I wait for miracles,
my mind leaves those lofty spires
Love has no compensations,
needs no diminished returns,
pure ivory dreams kiss me,
Heaven in deep agreement of my...
