For the all-mighty godot

As I was walking swiftly
Just to reach Bajoga early
To see what a hot birthday
Will be chucked in the day
Of 27th of the october,
I collided with a creature
Seemingly so calm in nature
And so educated by sanity
With...

With a bigger mouth you'll surely 
take a bigger bite."

ate up all the yeast.
"Burp!" he...

We drove by her run-down house
with faded green shingles
and boarded-up windows,
a sad feeling overwhelmed us;
many times we helped her
to cut down the thick grass 
and in return she gave us 
three yellow flowers 
as a...

In my corner of this garden, where I am eating fruit
The taste wanders through the buds, that are my tongue
And 
Sings tongues
In chorus harm-on-y
Asif, pandering
To a woven pattern
Of potted streams
The fullll holeness
Of the whole of...

The Tragic Story of Rosamund Clifford

By some urge to learn more, beckoned,
I read up the life of Henry the Second.

(But Love Never Forgotten)

In twilight's cloak, I sit and ponder,
As raindrops fall, the world grows fonder.
Thoughts of thee, the city divine,
Thy cheeks adorned, where smiles align.
Half-thrush, half-angel, thine eyes do gleam,
With drowsy lips, where kiss-flowers...

I'm at an expo 
an expo for foreign countries' universities
they're advertising themselves to us
the people with little

At a chair so comfy
Yet my heart so weary
That I'm wasting my time
That they're here...

You
Sat wherever you were
Spotted me breathing
Saw how happy I was
Scowled with jealousy
Slipped sputum with furry
Sed with an evil plan
Slithered all over surfaces
Scattered yourself everywhere
Spanned from arid to airborne
 
You
Set up an ambush
Sauntered into my body
Swam...

I Think, Therefore Am I?


Neck cracking penumbra
shines on starlit mundanity
ebon macabre epiphanies
fogwebs of my morality
my tongue twists ceaselessly
trinkets of truffled profanity
dearest mirror, mirror reality
has humanity cursed me?
For the fatality of dreams
bared in broken bosoms
of madness...
