Yet More Than a BrotherMoods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships
Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

A Cynical ObservationWhen Cupid fired an arrow in the air,
Where it might land? He did not care!

When he shot his barbed Love dart thither!

The past hung in the air
There was a scent of mildew
A smell of history was there
The paint was old and faded
With stains all dark and brown
The wallpaper too was dated

envious of literary skill
This explains much
Lately,...

You know this person!
In middle school his perfect sarcasm
seems funny and bold and wise to our ears,
