The Splice of Life

“The Splice of Life”



When colour 
was to be 
washed out
of the world 

the evil ones 
didn’t care

the Actor led 
with his 
Dementors 
either side of him

Laundry, 

they resolved 
to be the best 
pristine method

Face Masks, Face Veils: Same Thing

https://youtu.be/c1gNm21YzfI


When last I visited India almost a decade ago
I recall riding on my brother's scooter 
as he drove me around town,
And I saw fully veiled Muslim women
half their faces veiled, masked in Niqab 
driving scooters,...

100 fears

100 fears - but still OK


Will you accept me
When I admit that I am afraid of dying, 
Or inappropriately laughing,
Or suddenly crying.

And then there is the 
Fear of my emotional pain,
Of my rage
When it suddenly...

Life On a Pause

Destiny never announces to us our place of arrival
The streets, countries or cities
Sometimes our journey is by circumstance
Other times it is divine

Frolic In the Off-Leash Dog Park

With a wag of tail and tongue bedraggled
dogs drag their owners to frolic off-leash
in parks devoted to dog meets dog dalliance and play.

Despite their authority, the owners know each
not by the owner’s names, but by...

Reflections In Silence - Moon and I

Battling the instabilities of reality.
Behind daylight's closed doors.
Imaginary chains keep me captive.

White walls decorated with 
silhouettes of suppressed shadows -
disappear, upon the sight of twilight.

Alone, my eyes search for companionship.

Then she appears, smiling down at...

Trapped In the Boxe of Society

There is too much hypocrisy in our society
How can you be saved?
You get involved in that game of pretending
At first you tell yourself: come on 
It’s just a game act as if you were in...

Flux Eterna

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
At the turn of the moon
It purges itself of its sins,
Washing away what lives could have been,
Punished for failing biological duties.

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
Forever marked with...

I Cooked the Book That Would Not Tap

I Cooked the Book that Would Not Tap
 
A Doomsday, a nightmare gone wrong,
My hand shot with pain and didn’t stop,
Bandages hid the wound I wove for kong,
The silence echoed round the wheel fop.

Women In Chains

Cursed at birth, of anguish no dearth
For parents a liability, subject to partiality
Her studies are curtailed, her ambitions derailed
Childhood spent on household chores
Serving males one of her chores

Bound by chain, her childhood is slain!
Oh! The...

Power of Courage

Initial days after marriage
They were the worst days of my life

Everyone shouted and criticised me. 
Daily I would cry

Deep

You can’t avoid it, it’s all over the news.
Every clip and video, millions of views.
Varying opinions, not all of them healthy.
Is all this attention because they were so wealthy?

Some people say it serves them right,...

Courageous in the midst of her fear, 
Striving to give a...

I saw this darling little chick,
she looked a swinging geezer.

Her name was Mona Lisa.

I thought she had a perfect face,
a most bewitching smile.
She swayed with such amazing grace.

Barrenness To Adoration

Orphanage home is her home.. 
Dedication with commitment
Modesty and submissiveness 
God first before another..
Harmonious with pureness 
Ruth is her name

Married to the kingdom works...
for she set sight to win the race..
