Cocoon


"Cocoon"

They say...
a New World 
traces over the old,
leaving the unaware,
erased, far behind 

the old unaware, 
left far behind,
crawls the walls
in its web of lies
spinning suspect 
strings of silk 
in the air

glistening diamond nets
slick and sticky...

The Lay of the Best Man - Part 1

The Lay of The Best Man - Part One

I’ve seen men ‘good’, and surely, I’ve seen men ‘bad’
So jealous and so envious, I’ve seen men ….sad
Twisted, fuming with anger, and consumed with rage
Callous and cruel...

While sitting in my bed, different thoughts raced around in my head; there was one that stood apart from the rest. With it came a moment of clarity, a deeper understanding, and a sense of...

Majesty of Spring’s Tapestry

Meandering meadows broken by a tossing garbling brook…boulders embossing...marbling and moss flossing

Awoken whispers spoken..cantankerous coughing eddy wheezes..then a curmudgeonly icy mirror hush

Reckoning breezes yield cats' paws beckoning…teases across the flanking field

Fairies’ wield spells conveyed in...

Walled By Religions, Painted By Books

A rare Arab and Asian identity which is distinct in topography;
blessed with an excellent human resource in health services;
its heart, destroyed and rebuilt seven different times;
having a name unchanged and sustained to reach historic zeniths;
surviving...

Photo Boys

We snapped memories into photobook
Watching the edges of songful hedges
Draw  a hopeful singlet of grace of
Testimonies conquered in neglected verses. 
We played from the check of honoured
Dimples crossing routes of perfections. 
Here are tunes...

Doubt

Does doubt enter our minds 
only when we are 
unsure about something
when we think about something
see something
hear something 
or are told something 
that gives us pause
do we learn to doubt 
like we learn our A...

Dee and Me

Dee and Me

The years have so quickly gotten by.
They have stepped in-between you and I

The years have slipped quietly away.
You, it seems, have drifted further than they.

There is nothing left of what once was,
and I...

Invoking grace

The flame of awareness is held by God,
which we cognise when fickle mind is still,
that ego vaporised, frigid heart thawed,
dove of love perches on soul’s window sill.
There is in truth nothing we need to do,
save...

Jealousy and Envy

I want to share a bit of info I think everyone should know.
It may make life a little easier as through life you go.
People come equipped with a number of traits, good and bad;
With some...

Case Closed

Case closed

I was locked in my closet
Thinking deeply with so much fear
Eyes pregnant with a load of tears
In between the four walls, I sob
But my mind insists, saying
Peace be still
If God is involved, then
Case closed!

Arise,...

50 Stories High

“Step into my office, young novice
Clear off the tears from your face
Because they’re pointlessly burrowing into orifices
Tuning wounds that will bloom into a fixed gear race
Shift from fifth gear to disgrace
And if you don’t have...

The Rocking Chair That Keeps

The Rocking Chair That Keeps…

Up in the attic, there’s something or someone 
that keeps creating an eerie, dreary air: 

for the darkness is greedy
as it smothers a world of mystery,
a century of family history,
all boxed...

A Lovely Little Daydream

As I lay in  meadows green  outstreched on the grass
 Ignorance comes blinding as the fleeting day goes past. Blissfull blindness leaves  ignorance to the fading light. 
Approach the dark let all of day demise...

The Road

I started toddling at seven months,
Walking the roads as from twelve
Shaping my feet from sands and mud upon bumps
Frequenting the paths to hell and into which I delve

From the spittle of the seas to the...

Suns of Crows

The throne of the crow 
Dominates their subjects below
Scanning each plot of sow 
For the murders they can overthrow.
The two withered branches from the tallest trees
Seat the crow and its eyes to see that vast...

Angel Light

I stood in awe as she alighted like a bird upon some branch,
Belisha beacon to the abyss bound  clochard.
Bonfire for uncanny scion  adrift,
 ignited by her
incandescent eyes.
Chanteuse  of Arcadia  on song...

Jezebel

Amnesia
... or impaired memory?
Jezebel stood firm before my eyes!

Behold Her Imperial Ruthlessness!
And her bosom, harbouring bile,
Was bleached like lightning.
Arachnid fingernails mock the efforts
Of talons from revelling vultures.
Eyes pierced my brows with lasciviousness
So atrocious like the...

Tears of Soulful Joy

The weeping of souls and Heavenly joy abounds
Succumb to the raptures of that moisture upon a cheek
Transcendental souls speak their own language of tears
We are just their harbouring hosts as each other they seek

Soothing Love

Thank you very much
For having such a heart,
such a blooming heart,
such a bleeding heart,
and guiding and guarding
that child from them,
from that pack of wolves. 
 
A decade ago, it happened, 
and it happened for a...

It's a facade

Oh! I'm tired 

Drained by this charade
This masquerade of a ball
An illusion empty of dancers, 
no costume, no mask

Fatigued by an endless series of mirages
Hope has finally bent 
Dragging me down, 
weighing me down in...

Near Death Experience

Lying silently on my bed, eyes open wide.
Watching as darkness moves in like a heavy fog.
My breathing seems to echo against the cold walls
And my heart beats rapidly as I’m plagued with thought.
Prayer like questions,...
