Kidnapped By Aliens
They had kept me imprisoned there for three full days,
In that sparse, solitary room, of scarce sunshine rays.
Having good food to eat, had never been a problem;
They brought hot meals, but the problem was...

Gingerbread Cottage Fright
At the edge of a wood, in days of summertime,
Lived Hansel and Gretel, once upon a time;
Whose dear father, a poor woodcutter,
Could no longer earn their bread and butter.
Late one night, a conversation overheard--
As from...

Chalk Dust and Stardust
Amidst the chaos of chalk and dreams deferred,
We ask ourselves, where can we find the spark
In this labyrinth of rote and rigid words?
The burden we bear, a future stark
We've trudged through dusty classrooms, yearning
For wisdom...

What I Met During My Trip To Birthday
As I was walking swiftly
Just to reach Bajoga early
To see what a hot birthday
Will be chucked in the day
Of 27th of the october,
I collided with a creature
Seemingly so calm in nature
And so educated by sanity
With...

Flying With Wax Wings
Is it time again
Is this another day again
where I sit up once more
waste my fingers to the bone
to describe my grievance with the Sorceress
named Sarah...
No...not this time
Is it time again
is this another day when
I sit...

The Lonely Angler
He was there in the beginning
and through the eternal ending.
He'd scattered his seed 'cross numerous worlds.
They flourished.
They perished.
Flora, fauna, innumerable forms,
aeons of evolutionary warfare.
Extermination of the unfit
without the mercy of design.
Quadrillions of cadavers
paving a road...

Under the Mango Tree
I ask for answers to my problem around midday, carpenters nailing tables beyond their voices. Thinkers building fence of gold, wiping the devil under the shadow of death. Callers piecing information together to make me...

Dog Days of Summer
Alice Hubbard's home was not ever cluttered, like azure roses, in rows.
Full of sun, the panes were never shuttered, typical where love grows.

And her...

Only Food
If we decided to till our farms,
They don't care to help us with their arms
We are hungry while they are in satisfactory
Is only food we always battle for
We discover our fate while striving for it

Thoughts of our marriage could not be further

From our port hole window

We Are All Waters
There is no ‘you’ or ‘I’
Except that you choose
to call the fat clouds a name
and make them feel like overlords upon the others.
And, there is neither ‘you’ nor ‘I’
when we collect in droplets into rain
and...

Unrequited
Unrequited
The things i think about,
never settle below
they float instead
and fester inside
as I pluck your name in the air
a sacred memory folds over
foaming layers, floating vapors
Creating a chill and then a stupor
the last draw of my...

The Eleventh Hour
I made lots of plans and vision boards
And lots of New Year Resolutions
On how I'd swim in bullion wads
By the Christmastime celebrations
I'd promise myself a new PC
And new clothes and shoes and new outlooks
That I'd...

Stranger In a Port
Traveling for days, hours afar
Over oceans, that dark and dreary day
Lagged and weary alone
Deep into the Americas, "what country" I could only say
Luggage lugged without freedom of my hands
Onto platform from off of steps
Looking all...

The widows had put their handkerchiefs in their purses
Tears of joy dried and our...

Warrior Bride
She left the country where she was raised,
To pursue her endeavors, no longer a slave,
She climbed mountains and swam through swamp lakes,
To be relieved from all the past hurts and mistakes,
She tread upon scorpions, ...

Now, here's the story of Rip Van Winkle

Fear acclimated to my very senses, a dire undertaking
This is, living in the present, yet a time traveling mind
Sent me to relive the past, not to learn from it, but as
Punishment, a judgement of...

Questions bordering the edges
Demons causing uncertain wedges
To touch the deepest darkest side
Breach the abyss so deep and wide
Go on inside the hollow cave
Search for the little girl to save
Aura around that feels so eerie

Two material things that cemented a friend ship
One a boat that started out as a ten foot aluminum skiff
Morphed six times into an eighteen foot cuddy cabin hull
And two an eight foot pool...
