“Too late, go with it!” I did.

The wave I had to do
To get your attention
I was...

Hello Afterlife.

We made life easy for each other
Always dwelling under each other’s cover.

I couldn’t tolerate a single minute
without her presence.
My life without hers was of no essence.

As I searched the calm sunless afternoon sky- looking for the humming aeroplane;

piercing the layers of patch sky under the fie-
shade of undense orange sapling,

as the effulge plane became fainter-
the hum louder; and the pale...

when too much demand overwhelmed
couldn't find understanding felt pressure
declined as a man thought myself lesser
became linked with mental health
failed to deal with what life dealt, raw deal?

Maybe, still I...

I uttered an authoritative groan as he let
go of my hand
This was it
Never ever was I again going to stroke his
cheeks or fondle any other art in his
glittery body
I wanted to run away as memories

Who told the sun where to position
and the moon at night to light up the ocean?
Who told the seas to set boundaries
between land, regions and continents?
Ask yourself if anything existed before creation.

Meet me in the Woods 
Under the Open Sky,
The Autumn Roads
of fallen leaves left behind,
At dusk or dawn

The drizzle of flowing River
Across us shall lie,
A splash of Air
over our faces ;...

By:D.E.T 

Empty dreams 
Empty streets
But everyone repeats
The same disease 
There are some souls in between 
The streets 
While others are trying to delete 
The sweet

Some people call the souls a freak
Just cuz...

This country United 
one can clearly see 
only blind hide in truth 

Illegally a government seizes power 
against the vote with a clear strike 
Overthrowing moral grounds 

At which point do we say enough

A hug that has a story in it;
A story that can never be told.
Do you have a hug for me?
A hug that has a tale to tell;
Tale of the...

Qualified with soft speech,modified with prominent smile,

Of the shining sun to advertise 
My deeds and worth to mankind

Sometimes happy for - sometimes sad for
