The day was going off, and the brown air
To the terrestrial animals gave rest
For their labors; and only me was there

Just ready to withstand the war at best

Defaulted Leaders

I wish you would’ve told me,
That I was no longer worth your time.

Your back-handed alabaster murmurs
Stroll passed my skeptical exhales
As I greeted you like adults should

But, your whitened pupils
Spoke louder
Than your failed dreams
To be a...

Pathogen Given Provision

Ocean girdled nation had prospect for absolute containment
Overseas observers, in distant comfort, complacent 
Wuhan origin arrivals sparked a catastrophic failure
Leaving lock down 25th January, flying into Australia

Two Hawaiians, a Sunset and a Memory

Two Aloha-shirted Hawaiians 
of generous girth were strumming 
their ukuleles 
on a small stage in front of the hotel’s poolside bar
in the late afternoon, 
rehearsing for the night’s performance. 
It must have been the low...

My Friends Are Among the Stars

Clearest of crystals, each of them a pearl,
Like drops of dew on the lotus leaf in sunshine:
You came into my life, filled it with joys unique
And just as suddenly left me and went away.
Abandoned me...

Dissecting the Declaration of Independence

Dissect is a no-nonsense word, meaning to cut up, to cut open, to examine in detail.  My first recalled encounter with dissecting took place in my high school biology class where we dissected a...

Irreconcilable Paradox

Before the whirlwind steam blurred into scoping.
Before scarcely the morning smooth gathering.
We were nervous until trustworthiness was revealed.
Amidst the adjunct's misfortune by blaze wield.
They were heedless to our flaws due to their sway.
As we overruled,...

It's late or early, I can't tell which one
We're not on some secret island with a picturesque sun
The palm tree buildings; strolling holding your arm on these concrete beaches
Freedom building and living as far as...

That Was Then, This Is Now


That was then….
When the tapestry of contentment enveloped 
the enthralled expanse exhilarated,
of the sensuous sky called life. 
When the fervent flight was friendly 
for the esoteric essence to fly fearless 
near and far like a...

Being a Mom

Long ago on some days, yet not so long on others,
I do so recall those days when I was yet a mother.
Days of being careless and having fun, 
Not having to be responsible for anyone.

Then was the time 

When life of contentment enveloped 
The expanse of the serene sky 
Where the flight was friendly without fear
As life flew like a free bird far and near.

Bangladesh: the Birth of a Nation - Ii

A civil war flared up and raged on for freedom
Unequal it was, this bloody war for honour and secession
The natives renamed their land Bangladesh
Inviting anew the wrath of a desperate West

The army’s presence then, was...

A King

I often wonder who I am,

Born a little boy but raised to a man,

Many obstacles impeded my way,

However, my faith in the Lord leads me to pray.

 

Dear Lord, did you hear me as a...

Imagine a world if they made it first
Their want to dominate would continue to thirst
Heavy Water to be their goal
More innocent lives, more lost souls

Brought them to, Telemark's charms

My First Car

MY FIRST CAR

Years ago when I was younger,
So I'd not be so encumbered,
Wil decided that a car,
Would solve our problems near and far.

A run about was what I needed,
So transportation was not impeded,
When he had...

Thank You

I don’t think I understood the true meaning of Veteran’s Day when I was but a boy
I knew people got together to commemorate…to be thankful…to share joy.

But I thought of it as an old people’s...

My glorious retribution!
Behold- The sky, it is falling!

No more pleading!
This reality shall be met
With the blood of my enemies!
Tis cruel fate has me undone,
And my memories are naught but shadow!
But my beautiful, fear...

The Concealed, Revealed

From behind the veil, my tears, I dare to peer out
while forever longing, wishing to remove all doubt
waiting for a time, when the hidden will be revealed
when truth will prevail, no longer to remain concealed
