When the game was first played, on...

What would I be?

To me this couldn’t be dumber

Thief of sun filled days without a twinge but that...

The path led to rose bushes cul de sac.
Early in the morning, we sat down to rest.
Dewdrops are still shining on the track.
At our feet, a swarm of ladybugs, deft. 
Petrichor arose as the July rains...

Meeting a princess

It was, according to the old, the coldest winter

The snow leopard


A snow leopard is walking down snow covered streets.
In these empty streets, she walks alone, a vision to be seen.
With skyscraper buildings on either side,
All the cars are silent,
The apartments only have a...

They stood inches apart 
Both having a racing heart 
Gazing into the eyes 
With absolutely no reason for lies 

They met weeks ago 
Very busy and on the go 
A date with a drink

I look to the sky and ask,
Can he help find my way?
I've been wondering through this darkness
And still haven't found the light of day.
Struggle after struggle
I'm trying to find my way.
Time after time
I'm clinging to...

Voices from another galaxy 
drop hints about this blissful daydream dwelling I’m 
obsessed with.
They douse the strident yelping from an unrestrained stray pup in my neighbourhood,
when it breaks clear of its tan leather muzzle with...

MARRIAGE GOALS

What a colossal list and express phenomenal;
I enlist the daily dose of making her laugh like Hyena, 
And evoke unseasonal smile like Harley Quin, 
Unleash all romantic poetic armoury on my Queen.

Imagine love long last with plainly progressive pain
No long thug years without some stains
Timely trying to break through like in chains
Living a fast lanner, although like a stranger
Hostile heart plots me the right...

They kill children too
 
 A hum of silence met me
 Dead babies everywhere like dolls on a filthy carpet.
A lone soldier guarded the scene
He looked stunned and dazed and said, we had to do...

everyone wants to judges me,
i just sit back and drink some herbal tea,

A white hot finger points your way,
pushing air aside with each advancing message.
The renting of air with thunder clap abroad
makes too much noise, chattering like rattling lungs

Whispers to an unacknowledged Lord
bringing forward promised prayers.
The elastic...

Oh, my – elated thrills delight my chills!
No matter how often I pinch myself,
we are snow globe coupled ‘neath white hills
in Christmas Cheerville with merry elves.

Sweet town abounds with dreams come true.
Heaven is skating on...

Pondering past loves in the dim light of age,
the memories float upward, smiles engage sounds.

Blindfolded, he lifted me and reality disengaged.
The sound of the harmonica...

The dark gray clouds formed upon the horizon
Creating yet another dreary, cloudy, sunless day
The sun refused to shine and radiate brightness
Leaving the cool, cloudy day in gloomy despair

The snow had fallen the previous night

When i was young

Drinking coke mixed with Cream Soda

And speed skating on horizon ice rink

And takes me back

Strong in the mystery

Trying to run away

Mermaids in a lake


It is hot today I try to write
words are like wet cement in a ditch 
covering empty cola cans thrown from cars
by careless drivers who care not for nature.
ABC full stop.
