DevotionSunday has circled here:
Our nation bids farewell
To a great soul endeared
With devotion that tells.
Body lying in state:
Half a million sad hearts
Came to see and relate
Solemn "Goodbyes" to part.
Solemn the vigil guards,
Bowed in profound salute;
Keep company...

Dreams Within DreamsUnder the canopy of pine trees,
We lie watching the peaks of mountains
Crowned in white and wearing stony brown.
We take flights to majestic heights
To see views from the summits’ tops.
Dreams fulfilled, we fly...

New YearYear 2011 dead, its body lying in state
With all its achievements, faults, flaws

A loving and caring being

Lying-In-StateAnd the world stood still
When the liar took centre-stage
Cameras flashing
Tapes rolling
Recorders battling to take down his voice…
They all know
That lies unending endlessly flow
From his bottomless tank
Rolling off his tongue
As a bard chants royal praises…

You have paid the ultimate price,
And I, made the greatest sacrifice.

You answered the call
And gave your all.
My son, what remains of you
Lies in this casket...

Walk the Green Wreathed Marble Back!Sintered tiles of green wreathed marbles
bejewelled in steps that elevate to where you are entombed
incense wafts white and slate, demure and shy
my growing guilt is deflowered by your-her friend's- sly smirk
she scoffs along-was she forgotten,...

ShoesThe specially made fine footwear
That decreed burdens of feet bear:
The long walks that leave feet blistered
And owner's once calm look, flustered;
The endless climbs of hills gravel
And paths one is sure aren't level...
Man's shoes are nicely...

between the plant pots and the trays
the cobwebs had seen better days
and for all the wood and damp and soil

Sense poise surreal where smog now chokes;
Dizzy dazzling turn of malaise,
So much not said yet cutting sharp;
Death does not...

It was me
Yes ,did it deliciously
Mind blown
Petals chopped
Goodness stamped
Fantasies striped
Freshly plucked dreams
Buried alive .
Years flew along water
With oncoming seasons
Virility of cool showers
Narrowing to drizzles
In faded memories .
Nun bird nested in heart
Transfigures to a shadow...

Dramatic Monologue
From the Frustration To FameMalnourished themes.

lying in state
in a bookstore.
There are
mud dauber nests
like the tombstones
on the covers.
The bookworms creep
undisturbed.

from his frustration.
His protagonist molests...
