CANCER

I was ten when you invaded our family, when my sixty year old grandfather
died with lung cancer and at that time I never really understood it; but knew
it was a deadly disease for two women...

A world of illusions procreates
blinking sustained delusions
existence shivering in probabilities
memories afloat in traces astray
If only I were a meteor 
I'd cross those barriers
to merge their essence for you..

Surviving beliefs proclaim strengths
astounding errors of hurled conquests
a...

the old sea-pool churns out fun
  frantic heads flick side to side, limbs flashing, thrashing
  some are slicing, cutting through
  elegant submariners chased by water-wake
  here is one of distinction!

waking up from my sleep, I was all confused.
I heard a boom as that of thunder,
or the sound of a hammer striking on the anvil.
trying to be up, I felt as shaky as a fawn,...

The breast of Justice sleep - dry of pity & fear
The fire of darkness & moderation grow
Man of corruption take throne - God's chain of command is broken.
The truthful believers keep boxes of truth as...

Ode to the Cockatiel

You exasperate me. 
The most maddening creature
To walk, 
Waveringly across the tabletop
Drawn by an invisible wire
To my bowl
You stand
On the tips of your claws
Four scaly toes strain
You peer 
Over the edge 
And...

Every morning I give thanks to God for opening my eyes
That look upon the heavens’ the secret skies
We walk by faith, and not by sight; 
My mind captures the picture of an eternal flight
I never...

Urbane cavalcade - flaunt in gaiety
Warbling hymns in ego - cyclicity
Jigging gracile moves in vivacity
Relishing in zest in this gravity
Kinsfolk in flamboyant fete - oh its fate?

Alleged anthrax-laden alligator arrives in afternoon
Beyond bright baboon baby bestows brilliance 
Chaste chimpanzees charge chagrined cheetahs 
Doped donkeys deliberate director’s dictate
Elongated eel exasperate enormous elephants
Fruit flies flit and flutter among fruity flowers
Gravely gross gibbons gripe...

The pretty monsoon, the lovely monsoon, 
Is the one season that could instantly make me happy. 
Oh, I can smell that nostalgic fragrance of the wet, wet sand. 
And see the silver mist that has...

He will make everything fabulous
Wait and see
He has a way of doing things
He knows what needs to be done first
And every step thereafter
He knows how to do things
Plan things and make things to come
We don’t...

What good has come of it: doing good?
Yes I am honest and yes my pots are clean
Still I wish they weren’t spick, span and gleaming
I wish they had need for a good wiping
What would it...

The perfect glass smile,
Complimented by an intricate fan to extenuate,
The beauty in her dagger filled eyes,
To describe her elegance in words is to exasperate,
The nuances of language and the strength of my tongue,
But to gaze...

With no vengeance let us behave
But, to tell the truth, let us be brave
We must expose our displeasure
And reveal the suffered-pressure

At times, we may be damn desperate
As someone's act may exasperate
At that moment, we get...

It need not rhyme, it need not flow
It need no essence of truth
Just proliferate, exaggerate
And be sure to convolute
With flexous and circuitous jargon, fruiton soon to find
Scholars will praise your erudition,and vilipend the simple of...

Weeks pass
	and words cannot help but fail me.
The expression of the season
	whimpers quietly on the sideline.
Waiting, wishing hoping and searching exasperate the mind 
	as nothing appears to raise my spirit.
A period of nothing but empty...

Came to life like an earthworm
That soil and rocks embraced my mushy skin,
And those wicked ruined my flesh,
I couldn’t go but would stay.

Stayed in the world of injustices,
As an earthworm I’d tried...

I am feeling fraught,
And, stupid too,
I don't know what to do.
I need to open a screw-top bottle,
Which I am about to throttle.

Bottle tops and lids on things
Also, those with tin pull rings.
Exasperate me.

I feel useless...

Sometimes it does exasperate--
Around you, people tend to die,
just when you're catching on
to why they're there.

You want to plug into their minds
and stir a bit--discover inner dreams
and find some parallel inquiry
that otherwise would simply drift...

Bureaucracy is the space that lies
between the civil of civilization
and the indifference of each of us
"it's our policy", the only libation

Bathwater of common sense evaporates
as heat bakes away feeling and decency
purposed seemingly only to exasperate
lulling...
