I hate night patrols, transiting from cover to debouch
I might be leading my buddies straight into an...

Silhouettes dance on the grass
Whispery and lissome, 
Haunting the shadows of noon
With reminders of beauty
When we were struggling to write
That phrase, verse, haiku
Lovely words gripping hearts
With faith and hope and love
Kindness breathed on the soul
In...

He's tired,
So tired.
But he can't fall asleep.
He's slept too much.

...

He's so tired.
Exhausted.

It's all so predictable, too predictable.
Even for someone who is opposed to...

And you cannot leave me alone here
I said a million times that I love you
Every time you rejected
Every time I left with few millions of tears
You...

Hearing every beat, word, phrase

There's a world for us to see
Some images are beautiful

Over decades so many changes, some good
Fascinating inventions saying that we should,

Take responsibility...

I opened a door 
To lightning and thunder 
I quickly assessed 
And stared to wonder 
I looked to the heavens 
With anticipation of rain 
Just lightning and thunder 
And more of the same 
I positioned...

The color of the midnight sky,
I am the color of indigo.
I am the smile after every storm,
I am the 6th color of the rainbow.
I exemplify innate wisdom,
Allow me to be your muse,
Intuitive and understanding,
Mental wealth...

Someone found my writings and read them all.
I sat and I cried.
I felt sick and dead inside.
You violated me in unbelievable ways.
I felt I have been raped, taking my body, mind and soul.

Personal thoughts flow,
From your head,
They do go,
Around and around,
Without a sound,
They always pop in,
To your brain.
They will send,
A message to your mind,
What your brain,
Will find,
A thought to invent,
Or solve something,
Not heaven sent,
Does your brain ever...
