Instead of shattering away my dismay,
You turned the cold shoulder today
Forgiveness is on my tongue thankfully
You took it for granite and I have no pity

Let go of me,
Your gravity 
Please leave me be,
My reality

Back during a time when I still had a desire to date
I took out the following personal ad, with the hope of finding my mate.
That's no longer on my agenda. I'm very content to be...

Begin at the beginning is a good place to start
It makes this poem less tart

It was such an uneventful day today
Tonight, I want to prove otherwise 
To my Father above, but maybe someday
It's a windy night in the desert...walking tonight would be rather unwise…

Fractured Skulls With Barbed Wire Fences

Today I'm in a trance to learn to dance
I'm lost in a visible circumstance
Through a velvet wire proned in torment
A chosen quest for inner silence to rest

Shall now enter history’s fresh new sheet,
Vain may turn lessons of its farm college,
That would wonder how men should the greens treat.   

Poor greens to greed shall now the...

“In Love with an Android”




Do you remember Love?



...before dendrites became slaves
strung up on electron pathways
and hearts were tied in knots

Passwords...

A nation born with fiery might,
India's struggle, fierce and grand,
Led by heroes who took a stand.

Not a love at first sight moment; 
These feelings grew slowly but strongly
Fed by the intensity of the magnified energy 
In your smile

Difficulties arose before our hearts
Separation of the fusion of our love's confusion
Fist kiss
