soft plumage in their wake. See how her eyes

Once again it’s Saturday; the day when footy reigns supreme.
The Dogs are up against the Cats, the premier favoured team,
but I’ve got no doubts the mighty Dogs will surely cope with that.
I couldn’t think of...

The Earth dry and bare; waiting eagerly for the drops of care;
 


Caught in the hot, steaming summer’s snare;
 


The flowers and creepers decorating window sills; all look desolate and ill;
 


As the nature withers...

Now this is a great story… But where to begin… Oh, Yes… I see… 

Our Dear Sheriff of CrazyLand lives in a town called ‘Nodding-off-Ham’
Where peace reigns supreme… and beside the ‘Oh-My-God-River’…
That does keep us...

I was a questing, experienced astronaut, on the way to languid, red Mars,
The huge, white sun was my companion, and unobstructed views of stars.

I was enjoying the continuous, pleasant journey, like the driving vacation,
As you...

CONCEPTS

Concepts forming conceptual understanding for time and space,
As I face defects, removing them all from my rhyme as I race,
Around so called facts, that lack the basic constructs for us to trace,
Is it all just...

Growing out of childish pranks,
With the storm and stress of turbulent teens,
I locked within my mind’s cupboard,
A portrait vaguely sketched, but never finished.
Rough it was, though fancifully done,
The silhouette of a masculine figure,
The Gallant who...

Lovely enchantress of cyberspace

Betwixt and between us
lies an immense untraversable realm
of never knowable forbidding possibilities
quixotic, rhapsodic, sympathetic, telepathic...,
where tantalizing, scandalizing, and revolting,

buzzfeeding, crowdsourcing, dovetailing,
earthshaking, foo fighting, hashtagging,
jump/kick starting, twittering
uber whatsapp pining

The one with a shattered soul
even if he rebuilds himself anew
he would still feel the ache

The one who hungers for flawlessness
even if he's attained mastery
he would still perceive defects

The one who covets dominance
even if he...

I feel myself slipping away from my reality
The everyday has gone, I feel nothing at first

THE UNKNOWN

Unbeknownst to you , you touched the deepest recesses of my heart,
such a long time ago, and it seems so far away.
You are the oil that penetrated these old and rusted hinges -

The guards patrolled the Chinese wall
As they did every day
They did not pay much attention
Seems to be the usual way

A clink disturbs ones peaceful stroll
A three armed hook appears
Catches on the parapet
With one of its...

I descended the wretched trench of lies with willing defeat,
My heart severed too many times to ever even care
Of what horrors lay beneath

I face the unknown with a corrupt thirst
I have seen these familiar twisted...

Murky shadows slink around the darkened rainbow
like black eels embracing the dish hi-lighting mankind’s testes.
As today Man’s testicles still hold the world hostage
and reveal the slow moving continuum slithering toward the world’s fate.
 
Flames and...

John 5:47 (KJV) But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?


Even the stars twinkle and sigh,
Breathing their sorrow, their desperate cry,
An ache in their heart, clear down to their soul,
Despairing...

With a deafening thunder
and blazing lightning,
Amidst a swirling clouds
of dark ominous smoke,
He appeared suddenly
smack in front of me--
A most hideous being
who appeared neither
human nor a beast.

With the swift sleight of hand,
Before I could even cry...

In the pantheon of rhyme, where legends intertwine,
Three emcees blaze trails, so divine.
Kendrick, Drake, & Cole, in that revered line,
Emcees crafting worlds, beyond the baseline.4

First, Kendrick Lamar, Compton’s lyrical son,
A poet, a...
