Sam the Dog and Pearl the Cat
Sam the dog and Pearl the cat
Were sitting on the wall
They do it every day
So it isn't strange at all
They have little conversations
Which only they can understand
They talk about their little quirks
And none of them...

What Is Love
Love is something that has always been undefined,
In the initial stage, it is only in the heart where it is confined.

Gradually, it finds space in your actions and mind,
And finally acts as a soul force...

A euphemism! I? That I do decry!
Why the very word does imply
That I would ignore, omit, pervert…
If only to prevent some hurt.

Well, let me speak out forthright:
Search thoroughly my ways as I might
I truly must...

Woman In the Mirror
Sometimes it’s hard to face the woman in the reflection glass.
Because she and I, we so often clash.

Too young to be so old,a child of five,
Yet a man so old, a childhood gone.
I hear his pain in his dreams at night.

I feel his fear in the tears upon his cheeks,
When he reaches...

No Longer Here Will Remain
No Longer Here Will Remain

Had heard softy sound of a distant drum
After to all of his desires he did succumb
While lying there dreaming in his bed
Having to face facts he often would dread.

What if pregnant...

A Temperance of Love
Of the voices, I have heard, the sound of Silence,
 Is the loneliest, by far.
It is infinite, unending,
Yet, this gap can be bridged.
Love, Friendship, Happiness,
They each, can be a tether, a line,
Something to grasp.
These insurmountable...

Awoke to feel, I dreamt that deadly sigh
The flooding came but I believe I’m dry
The earth shook, but I still think I’m high
I told myself that I still have my ways
I still deny that they...

It’s time to speak.  You can’t stop me now.

Spill from my mind to the page, I am free.
You all thought you won, at character assassination
And chasing me...

Crossing Your Distressing Tides
May I burn ardently
Or should I drown slowly?
May I be blown away swiftly
Or should I be electrified painfully?
Was I simply guilty
Of the misty visions
Of being near you
As you shifted stiffly?

I know I'll be crisply wise
To...

Around World and Back

On face, still can see the obvious scar
From being a person who is so bazaar
Other than that, no bodily harm was done
Never lost control or around was spun.

Pretend
Afraid to feel and afraid to know,
What my emotions may bring.

Denial and pretending is such an easy way of avoidance.
But can also be more detrimental than the...

We all grow up in different household 
One that's hold and cold
Our memory began to fold
It started out as a stroll 
Digging underground like a mole
Then we started to hop around like a toad

Pathways New
The changing face of things to come
is threatening to all,
security in what we know
is where we like to crawl.
To move us on to pastures new
needs pressing intervention,
indeed its true, necessity 
is mother of invention.

Alas not...

Amidst things you can not ignore

In these uncertain times today
Thoughts of survival come their way.
