And the beanstalk fell and the giant as well
And the giant lay there dead

The Dragon, serpentine, jagged, fuming
Curved neck twisted my way,
His scales shimmering and reflecting the bottom depths of the well,
Scrutinized me with fires of his personal hells
Burning into my cool, oceanic repose

OH

It is her…she…who parades around in a crown of glory
Compassionately hearing the abused one’s wounded story
Her smile, yes, it is that 
	Luring, forever enduring smile that
			Ensnares, then it cares, is always there, even as it...

...Years passed and Allan tried dating once more,
but soon gave up, as it didn’t feel right.
How could he when he still loved his Janet?

even harassed my poor old mother
to the point she could barely go out.

I growled loud at more than a few,

After the storm, my brother
(all gangly knees and elbows)
bore the brunt of its ferocious aftermath.

Every day after school
I watched his wiry biceps bulge a little
as his handsaw scritched against the tree
which had fallen diagonally across...

A woman of thousand hands,
Never I could imagine,
When I was just Ten,

Attached very close to my arms,
And I am still pleading...

Outside of town

A PAUSED GAME

It was a rainy evening of May,
We were tired of sitting and,
Gazing at the downpour.
Through the gaps of my fingers,
The roaring thunder did crawl in.
Tear stained window panes,
Waved wide in the winds.
At out...

each one had to leave.
They’d discovered gifts and talents, 
to make their lives complete.

Musicians, sculptors, chefs and more;

Left to fight for

Which reached into
Each person's body
And stole each one's
Little...
