The flowers and creepers decorating window sills; all look desolate and ill;
As the nature withers...

Her back never faces the door
“I’ll only need you on certain days”
she says
(absently)

especially when I am caught up”
she’s thinking
(a lovely stare)
“Who is that in the...

Once Upon a Time
There stood a castle on the summit of a hill
Now fallen to decay, hidden among bushes wild
It perched like an eagle’s nest on the steep hill
It was owned by a Lord, gentle and mild
Blessed with...

Lavender
Ramapo, New York, a small town
Was rural ... to say the least
Where simple folks lived a simple life
And most residents could rest in peace
But, tonight was prom night and
The summer evening was unusually cool

Beautiful Halves
You rock me wildly
To the black rhythms of juju music from the radio;
Drinking horn in hand.
Not too drunk to tread
The course of blue, warmth
And moaning shadows behind batiste curtain.

the cedar tree
bright …
a flash of light -
thunder clapped like cannons as
into the old tree
we scurried ...
the mouth of its little
hollowed-out gut, yawning like some
tired old man from a Dickens story ...
perhaps the chin of the
ghost of...

it wants whenever

Just never bothers to do
any of it, at my convenience
Will take its sweet time
to grow
When I'm most...

The one that is shattering at a purply time of faintness
And the one whose wind is playing...

His Woman- Contest Version Coming Soon
He had tasted her cherry lips before
And yet, he lingered there
Gauging her response
Wanting her to know
She was in control
She kissed him back
Her tongue licking his lips
As she molded her form into his
Surrender in every limb
He...

Biography By An Insomniac
Wind blowing from behind

And you, behind,
Have forgotten the mood.
The mood used to be quiet!
The mood was silent
And you turned it into ranting
You turned me off your instigations
But, wait, no...

Fantastic Flora Masquerade
Creeping creepy creepers, the crawling trellis
jutting out of everywhere
snaking through country and metropolis
twisting turning in floral bliss
but more like snakes that hiss
But in quietude feign death for self-defense!
Weeping willows with an unreal surreal sorrow

Life and Times of the Manila Folder
Manila folder,
Growing older,
Lying on table,
Watching other files,
Grow bolder,
It was earlier looked upon,
Now ignored,
As if it was dead,
After a bloody gore,
They had submerged in its custody,
A lot many papers and notes,
Carrying dates and events,
About people and...
