After being a patient 
Is a very interesting prescription indeed 
What do you mean? 
One option could be to choose 
Relaxing on a cruise

Among the morning light, I wake
From a nude to blue, I become sick
Not from the dormant love, but what’s at stake
My sorrow lingers as I think of...

As a believer in bodily regeneration 
I had endured for long, hopeful
For a natural recuperation.

However, the condition kept getting worse.
Changing sides in bed waxed hard.

JUSTIFICATION

Oh, what a distressing frustrating situation,
I’ve suddenly lost all my poetic imagination,
Nothing tickles me pink, no stimulation,
I want to create a poem of deep inspiration,
Which will meet everyone’s expectation,
But my thoughts are edging towards nullification,

To demonstrate leading astray thy pace;
Don't rebound to toil and wrestle,

Submission ties settle better productive gain;
Prepare to ignite flame...

BLACK AND BLUE FRIDAY

First – the carbo-loading
monster meal to sustain
the beast that drives
the cornerstone of greed
in mindless hunt for “bargains”.

with loyalty and pride,
but, the truth sets in after the perilous ride,
Veterans are let down by the promises made,
After the adrenaline subsides, 
They are left hanging in...

IVF

Times without number
That’s as far as one could remember
Or  better still conjecture
At this end of this ocean we stood, at the edge
Aghast at the tardiness of virility
Invisible except for its vivid physiognomy
That swirled and...

A Beautiful Mystery starts at death
your quintessence is depopulated
your heart, overpowered by agony.
Life is bleak as despair overwhelms you.

A Beautiful Mystery starts at death
when half your quintessence lies underneath
when your tears by no means discontinue,

On occasion I ran the marathon
when I was younger and all my powers
