Reading all my time away
On a park bench did I sit
Until the sky became twilit

As light for reading began to wane
I heard the tapping of a cane.
And looking up,...

Smoke rising from the ground
Obscures the pools of blood
Where soldiers uttering sounds
Lie dying in the mud.
Horses neighing, running scared
In horror find no end
Of battleground that's shared
The crimson life of men.
A bugle lies still tightly clenched
In...

Echoes beyond the darkness emits vibrations opposing the ground
The imposing clouds renders their shadows all around
In the metaphor of tranquility an endearment begins to come
The clouds are scattered...

1. Your few dents don’t join to form a rabble
I am still in growth, talking in babbles

How can we let go of our indifferences,
And forgive instead of fight?

The world is full of people who will gain...

Thank you for today, live and gleeful,
It's about the baby full of youth,
Born somewhat not the portal,
Although a star signed by truth.

Hurriedly enroute to her royal majesty
porcelain goddess throne
whereupon earlier today
March 28th, 2022,
after incomplete defecation
sitting pretty on pissoir,
I jiggled and wiggled posterior

(analogous to performing
the bum bared hustle)
until gasping for breath
though unable to shake loose
dangling dingleberry yours...

I  played in solitude with cuddly clouds
And watched them form changing figures, blight
The sky or bring the sobbing sludge of rain,

at the heart, where love rises,
like a heavy sun, 
blending joy into the dawn,
wiping away the darkness,
sending a sweetness,
beautiful as the peaceful colors,
vibrant hues of soft gold,
buttery yellow and rich ginger,
blazing across the morning,
sweltering dewdrops,
kissing...

Her birth was never trumpeted,
Nor caught any media headlines.
Born to Joachim in very ordinary settings,
Virgin Mary, the simplest of the simple,
Was specially chosen to perform a task divine.
As she grew up, she pledged to keep...

listen,
the whispers
of leaves
turn colour
autumn is here.

now that you are gone
who will wake every morn
to lift the sun
unveil the sky

when eyes blinded with figurative
daggers asper mistakes in original draft,

Spread so vast and wide, everywhere I could see
Cloudy sky colorfully painted to pose
On watching it, my soul silently rose

Fishing birds do frequent round
My mind...

My wallet,
Made of shining black leather.
I bought it a decade ago,
From a Lacoste shop.
It fitted well in the rear pockets
Of my blue denims.
It was happy,
Stuffed and loaded with notes,
Of different strengths.
It even looked overjoyed when
I...
