I had no friends and was totally striped of personal pride and self respect.          ...

Why do mechanics need manuals when they’ve fixed it before?
Answer my question or I’ll walk out the door!
Didn’t they attend trade schools or get OJT?
Why need repair manuals?  That what gets me.
I just want...

With me, during my high-school-days, studied a little boy, 
His father was a doctor. This filled him with immense joy;
At his constant demand, once to his dad's study I went,
Seeing the skeleton, to my feelings,...

I'm not going into work today
I'm taking a day off to rest,
I've been feeling under the weather of late
and really not up to my best.
I've taken some of my holiday
I didn't want to go sick,
As...

A small desire like a spark, I do not know lit from where,
Frenzy of becoming an orator in me did flair;
I watched often, like blackbirds, seldom shutting my eye-lids,
Each speech of great orators, staying solid...

I AM PESTILENCE 
I am a deadly plague devouring all goodness.
A cancer spreading through your internals rejoicing in your weaknesses,
With my lips of death, I kiss away all that blossoms and it regresses.
I come dressed...

I know well of a cat's ear, eye, nose, teeth, coat, paws and claws,
Do I know, what's behind its look and mysterious pause?
I know a dog's acute sense of smell; muscles and fingers,
Do I know...

Like many before me, my Empire began
As but a passionate boy’s dream
They said risks outweigh the reward
Or, at least, so it would seem

I immersed myself in knowledge
Every action and reaction honed
From the classrooms to the...

The screen kept painting the history for the team
In horrific scenery as the chickens came home to roost:
The wars supported in media by ideologies it would seem,
Whereas deeper was the fight for resources needed for...

What's cooler and juicier
Than a long-striped rime of green,
Whose internals are fortified with
An explosion of mesmerizing desire?

Or a total circle of green without stripes,
Protectively enclosing the best of eats,      ...

What if I fail?
What if no one listens to me?
What if I'm rejected?
What if I learned to just let things be?

It seems the harder I try to escape my thoughts
The deeper into despair I go
There's...

Now each time I see Bob, seems I make a new friend,
The externals are constant, internals though change
(And with scarcely a ripple)! Things 'now' feel so strange.
It's like watching a child grow, except the reverse,
Or...

Alcohol can numb the pain
But it's not the best thing for it
So have a drink and have some fun
But please don't over do it.

It's can be so addictive 
You may need it everyday
But when you...

Eureka of Archimedes was part of his daydream,
Thomas Edison nurtured his dream in bright light like gleam;
Could sleep ever overwhelm Alexander Graham Bell,
Till he heard the noise from the other and fell in a spell...?

Let’s dive into our mind
Look around – perhaps nothing is as it seems
There’s a unique perception
An amalgamation - of what we call me

Like rich fertile soil
Brimming with potentialities
Nature verses nurture
So grow the seeds

The roots grow...

It was approaching midnight in the internals of the Eternal Garden of Dissolution
The dying were displaying bland expressions as they cradled the moment
The old were holding on tight to the path of the faith they...

Know thyself
Confusing – maybe?
The reality - we are all we’ll ever have
Personal awareness is of utmost importance - indeed

Evolutionary dialectical battle
Vociferous the subconscious mind 
Perpetual synaptic reactions
Unexamined – troubled - unkind

Awareness precedes Transformation
Transformation – Holy...

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe," ... Carl Sagan

Subtle crafts soundly, using euphemisms,
yet cluelessness dealt a sheltered abyss.
When one confront internal mechanisms,
whatchamacallit ... orphaned hit-or-miss.

Love is not
man’s first impulse,
but what is left
when the world fails
and nothing better
than
to imagine…

the creator
in us all,
were I fearless
I would nurture
such possibility-
to cancel armies
and philosophies

replacing science
with driving spirit
too often thought
in the abstract
though internals
an on-going
self vs...

Sized up, weighed, and purchased.
Handled with care and taken away.
Heavy and delicate, quite the combination,
Very prone to self-destruction.

Gingerly set in place, elevated.
Rotated to find its face in the light,
Then stabbed violently.

The sawing motion, the sound,...

I look down
Upon its frosty glass
And wait
For the internals 
To settle

Should I
Move northward
Into the heat
And bulldust
Humid air
And all that is
Unfair
Among
The green and black

Do I go west
Beyond the setting sun
To beaches and tracks
To walk
Before
All is said...

Nature nurtures blooms and blushes
With redbirds, bluebonnets, and bulrushes
And peacock-curtained cirrus evening skies;
That unveil a Milky seine before our eyes,
Alluring our awed admiration
With magnetic, majestic fascination;
Easily eliciting an emancipation
To unparalleled faux freedom;
Fostering fleet-flying feelings;
Sending stunned...

These circular and endless gyrations
the scaring  of those cruel inactions
resulting torrents of frustrations
bland unrelenting dissatisfactions

No softness in my life
only grinding in my head
just the constant march of strife
looking for a feathered bed

Black cloud hovers...
