Where Art Thou Anonymous Benefactor To Offer Me Succor
Where art thou anonymous benefactor...to offer me succor?

which prospect to acquire essential
commodities sabotaged

Impossible Mission To Captcha Infinitesimal Moment
Impossible mission to captcha infinitesimal moment
alternately titled: tick tock runneth amuck
seconds elapse imperceptibly
leaving me dumbstruck,
how quickly fleeting tempus fugit;
ofttimes imagined as time thief.
Hence following vignette: quiet as a mouse lurks the time thief...

Rites and Relics
A midnight shriek or sudden bang
Disrupts the thread of tales,
Entangled in unconscious mind
With sounds of lashing flails.
Wherefrom it comes, whither it goes?
I threw my eyes up there,
The eerie void soon called me up
To trudge down...

Quality Time
Quantities of time feel nothing.
Calculating, accumulating and subtracting,
days and weeks,
months and years and decades
roll past our eyes and ears
our growing and shrinking stomachs
to leave their strong and weak-grooved rings
of satiation and emaciation
I only feel and...

Parallelismus Membrorum
Where Will We Be? (One For Ms. Becky)
Where will I be?
When your plane bursts the clouds
On its way back home
To your boys’ embrace and Asia
Dissolves
Like a forgotten stopover
On another ticket to Destination
Life.
So where will I be?
When the softness of your...

Queen of the Rails
The engine: Long and black
And sleek as she could be
She shook the earth in her approach
As her heraldry.
An atmosphere of steam and smoke
Expanding in her wake
The Queen-of-the-Rails speeds on
An arrival soon to make.
Massive is her...

Place of Stone
In a place of unmarked beauty;
Lays a stone dead and cold.
The ear the dirt covering lays hold;
The outside of the stone.
As the crust of the earth begins shaping the stone;
Grooves and rough edges appear.
The dirt...

REALITY IN TRANSITION
Thought crystallizes. Its edges become sharp and hard.
Soon we begin to believe the illusion of its boundaries.
We forget it is a wave of energy, in flux, pulsating,
Reaching out to every glowing atom, moving faster...

In the Face of Love
On that particular day, I always remember,
That nineteen ninety-nine 25th December,
Midst my lone celebration there arose,
A certain scent like that of a rose,
I just fell silent when all of a sudden,
Entered a lady, as though...

Jackpot, a Pot of Worries
When hundred's one hell of a count,
To reckon crore, a long sentence,
And five times that a long penance,
Almost a live tiger to mount,
Wonder, many a dot must make a crore,
A mouthful...

Rolls
Dusk finally breaks
so we assert ourselves with ecstasy
and weed.
We claim omnipotence in pills and
crystals, whose uneven facets
reflect our fractured souls
shone through the darks of our
eyes.
Whose catalyst propels our
transmission down highways of
perfect pavement and engraves
narcotic...

The Womb Bouncing Off the Walls
The Womb
Bouncing off the walls
From the womb, that sacred, secure, worm hiding place,
life’s human incubator, from which it will reach out to seek sight,
from the darkness of memories’ enormous, lost space
coming together from that place...

A Cupid Sniper
With accurate placement
aim and precision
take your pick
an advanced weapon system
a marksman
staring down
keeps his eye
on the target
judging distance
will take his shot
The ultimate assassin
for two lovers touch
with a bipod arrangement
is accurate as such
holding aim
sweetly releasing
from the...

Lazarus
Her stare is a scent tied to memory.
Hanging long as a searchlight out to sea.
Here where Times only purpose
Is to punish in fluid translation,
mocking with it's lap of tongue across the beach.
She breathes in Her...

Ladder Sways in So Many Ways
I linger, to pause for a while,
between the ladder rungs of what's been done below,
and what is yet to become above.
Below me stretches a dizzying array of tiers.
Each step is a relic of a decision,
I've...

You gave young brains a...

The Cruelest of Hate
It is the cruelest of hate
Creeping like an imposturous reptile
In the morning light of Eve’s Garden
Fangs dripping with malice
Searching for tender flesh to taste
Cruel hate clandestinely charging
Uncharged minds
Innocent ones
Too young to leave
Too old to hold...

It wants to be written down for others to read

A Moment in Time
As the music played, eyes strayed,
She moved; she grooved...On fire!
Her hands explored, own flesh adored,
She read then fed my desire.
Together we danced, eyes romanced,
Lust slipped its script to her.
My body baked, hunger ached,
Lips brushed,...

It was in a day the day seemed bright,
hustle and bustle was daily life.
To and fro the people masses

Moving about at speed a new
looking on inside I knew.
