Premium Member Counting Cumulative Costs
What does it cost
to love a degenerating Earth,
home,
habitat?

Where NO TRESPASSING signs
speak out for natural sound
defensive silence,
for spiritually medicinal fragrances
only,
in sacred space and times
forbidding mechanized transport
across Earth's MotherLands
and feminist HealthCare Oceans.

Degenerating natural landed bodies,
spiritually disconnected minds
cannot...

Night Life
As the beams in departure
darkness, they crawl slowly
taking charge and ready to rule
that surrounded shell above all
slouching in their aging gray
fresh again after sloughing its light
as plants in shift of their breath
and creatures, they creep...

Premium Member Who Needs Red Tape!
It seems it takes reams of paperwork to get things done nowadays.
You can become so snarled in red tape that it'll leave you in a daze!
I wonder how Noah would've coped with such onerous fiddle-faddle,
Had...

Cost Overrun In Bolehland
Cost Overruns 

Here in Bolehland, one thing that can be observed and learnt...
It is that Government initiatives are noble and well meant...

Run Amok
Palpable hatred makes your nostrils seethe
As you inhale all the imagined wrongs
Grounded in ignorance
And no reality


A match is struck 

Martyrs are made
And fools are kings
Grievances run wild
Fed by even more vengeful sins

The place is ablaze

The...

Grace and Solitude
Hovering hemispheres habitual harmonics, symmetrical solitudes in their Sonics,
Mastering melodies with mnemonics, amidst approbation of acoustical avionics…
Stellar symphonies sailing Celestial Seas, applauding Angels aerially appease,
Birds belting songs on tranquil trees, botanical gardens blooming in the...

Eyes of An Ageing Man

Can tell a story few others can
For surely he has seen it all
From a nation rising, to it’s fall
From wars for freedom, and of security

Raspberry Blood
her hands: blooming. sugar, hot
and humming. those wrists, sweet,
no longer sticky. yet stubborn,
reigning the laughter of two years ago.

her lips: fruit. ripe, or rotten, you
no longer remember. still, they remind you.
sin is where your body...

Dilemma
Smidgen ahead of a dreadful time,
shatters a dream of wiser thine,
rage dipped words, in their seize,
all in breach, of my sleeping peace.
Douse my fire, not that lord of wind,
quench all desires, not though if skinned,

Greed
What compassion does man show for his brother?
If done for himself, then he does not give to another!
Should not it always be done from the heart?
Given freely from the soul at the very start?
How obstinate...
