I heard echoes of scurrilous snarls, 
from my conscience as it spoke
contemptible remarks aimed at me.
What shame those words delivered.

mimicking the trembling lips of a child in fear?

Predilections of the Phallic Beast
Adulterous besieging capstone damnation
exploitation foists groping, heaving
insidiously jerking

vasocongested wickedness 
Xerses yawped zeolously.

Me
Newborn me,
Didn’t know the world,
And the world didn’t know me.
With closed, arched eyes,
I slept through most memories.
All that surrounded me were
Genuine smiles and affectionate hugs.
No judgement of the sparse hair or the dangly cheeks.
A soft...

Tedium of the times - I

And plague many poor souls in pink of prime.

Seasons
Summer to fall,
No other transition
Is quite so compelling,
So thrilling,
So enchanting,

The sunlight shines golden
In the late afternoon,
Illuminating the leaves of trees,
Some of which reveal gentle hues
Of red, orange, and yellow,

The sun spreads its warmth
Like an infant...

The Hourglass

Sometimes Love Is Not Enough
Letting go was never possible
Holding on was too cynical a dream
Life feels mystic and miserable 
Somewhere in between, to struggle for more
holding onto a strained thread of perseverance
As, perhaps, sometimes love is not enough.

Whispers to an unacknowledged Lord
bringing forward promised prayers.
