when you try to 
dream your place

in my life 

gone now

Indeed, the truth will always be self-evident

and beyond all lies;

Though they laid down the 5th to ensure deniability

of evident charges,

Over the trials of history—his-story—true crime can’t

The nearby volcano is almost invisible, only smolders silently now.

Inside his room, he can almost tangibly feel the darkness gathering about him,

It was in the time of John
In the days that have long gone
When the plight of right and wrong

Oh! Mother India,
Let the pain of bereavement, with all its might,
try not to express itself......

An enchantress
A recluse
Living isolated in her forest!

Of Christ’s birth long foreseen
In this iron machine
Hearts of iron will...

who live for their sons, unlikely fathers
whose role is to teach them harsh lessons!

Dancing by a veil of mist with rare brilliance.

In this calm span, where dreams are wandering

Shoving and pulling her strings adding oil and suntan lotion.
