Long Paining Poems

Two, perhaps three miles out to sea, beyond the reef to Zapatillas,
Bocas’ dual sand-edged footprint jewels with jungle centre trees, 
Francesco’s outboard boat heads out to Caribbean’s deeper blue.

Where sun burns softer gringo skin, but...

How thankful can one woman really be? Is there a limit to how deep gratitude flows- a way to measure how much love I hold in my heart for my family? Forty-years of Thanksgiving meals...

Day 38

Pugnaciousness set aside, 
Phantasmal was the anticipation, 
Possessing each moment
Some shutter fell over him
He knew, at least, that he had me 
He knew that I cared enough
Ours together, in his hands and mine,
I gave...

Writing effortlessly and I faint
first thought was dreamscape 
I can recall every single detail
To the T. 

Twelve fenestra foggy glass, 
a paining of a woman, Egyptian,
classy loft style apartment,
with a fountain in the center,

Enchanting Encounter With Rustic Beauty on an Early Morning Stroll

Along the beautiful tree lined avenues and residences I strode, ruminating spirituality and poetry, amidst peace and bird chirping background.

Upon a sharp turn, afar stood a...

Force.
Two, 
They are two
Heavy and strong 
On my top.
Their hands covering my mouth
I can't even
Scream, STOP.
Numb,
My body 
Is numb.
Legs,
Shaking.
Shaking because of 
The Unpleasant orgasm.
The abdomen is paining,
I feel the spasm.
I've lost power.
I am defunct.
Enervated.
And, helpless.
Lying,...

"Ma, How are you?
How is dad ?
How is our sweet home and how is my room?

Dad is calling my mobile continuously,
Thanks for your love my dear,
Ma, you...

Elegantly enthralling in this evening is the expanse of the sea
Spread so vast and wide, everywhere I could see
Cloudy sky colorfully painted to pose
On watching it, my soul silently rose

Fishing birds do frequent round
My mind...

AS I SIT HERE AND STEW: 		
	MY VOICES ARE ON CUE,
RUNNING MY LIFE, 
	AS THEY USUALLY DO.
MY HEART TOOK A LEAP, 
	AS THESE FREEKS, 		
		THEY DID CREEP
AROUND THIS HOUSE IN MY HEAD.
	THEY’RE SO ENTERTAINING 
BUT,...

Only God Knows So Here Goes

If you  read my poems  half-cocked;
you must have had your lips locked;
Further exploring;
Found her adoring;
Found her nude and each small pock.

God is only one who my  poems...

Of The Full Sum And The Withering Of The Vine

As whispering grass across moaning plains
so flows beautiful rays in morn's soft breath
signs, vestiges of mankind's earthen gains
are as time's snowflakes, melting unto death.

Accident in school


Papa I did not cry.
It was bleeding heavily.
They took me to the health centre.
Doctor Uncle looked at me with care.
And said do not be scared 
A couple of stitches are only needed.

Papa I...

Death had tied up my wrists the day I dawned,
With a thick rope
And had dragged me along
On the tortuous ways of life
Going wherever it had willed
Laughing at nothing in particular
And minding not
The laments and the...

While sitting in twilight sunlight,
I was thinking where I am 
and what have I done...
I realised,
I left here with just no fun.

What should I do and who should I blame?
Where responsible is no one -...

Accidents many years ago it seems,
Now cause pain, spoiling my dreams.
A whip lash crash, a slip or fall,
Long forgotten, no, not at all.
Why does my shoulder ache so much?
Why are there days when I need...

It all started peacefully but ended chaotic
Love was all that was valued
Happiness was all that mattered 
I never had an external affair 
Why is all this accusations
Where is the love you promised to give?

You vowed...

Dear Friend Saha,
Be peace upon you,
At a time you do trace peace like umbrella in rain,
In the aftermath of your business pinning and paining you,
You are in debt,
Your good health left,
Deserting your friends like birds...

Prolific pic perfect in rose pink
Made me gaze at it without blink
Sunglasses dark big and round
Fancy ear tops flaunt too abound
Lavish smile adds an icing
To already divine cake amazing
Radiance oozing in floods straight	
Well, may I...

I stood in the old church,
At the back, near the entrance,
I haven't set foot in that church over the years,
It could be over thirty years to be exact
And there I was two times in one...

The brown piece of copper rang through the air. 
Everything went peacefully quiet.
All emotions were frozen
Even the motion of the little lethal piece of metal
A pin could be heard and the horror was visible on...

Love is blind
Love is eyed
Love is sweet
Love is bitter
Love is care
Love is hesitation
Love is bare
Love is dare
Love is peace
Love is violent
Love is clear
Love is dirty
Love is prominent
Love is contaminate
Love is heaven
Love is hell
Love is crashing

I feel so much weight from this world,
This pain embedded in my heart left untold,
Every breath I take to the devil I wish I sold,
But thy hand might my soul came to fold,
Yet memories remain...
