I felt as though the hand I was holding
Was yours and not my own
In my want to believe
But reality...

Growing Up Rich

My childhood home was just four rooms, heated by a black stove in the kitchen.
No phone, no car, a toilet in the basement. Money was tight. The rent had to be paid.

I spent...

There she is, rainbow hued, hazy viewed clues.
The whistle chimed waves clear her unspoken throat.
Pardon Lady's wispy tension, a molder of falling sand. 
A maker of details form the reality of dreamlife.
It is not man-made,...

I would say as if my dreams were real
and try to soothe you while you send me
yours 
as if mine would cease
I would step through the sky if stars
would make way
for spells with no end
And...

There is in the house a hullabaloo
Furore, a fuss, commotion, ado
The in-laws will soon
Return from the moon
Be staying with us, a month, maybe two!

Short notice, their note arrived in the mail
A bolt from the blue,...

We have so much color all around us
so much beauty to fill our senses
everything we see and touch and taste
in the songs we hear
in the scent of lovers mingled
in everything we've been given
there is a...

They say the eyes of a person tell you their tall tale
Strong hopes that make any mountain able to scale
Happiness they seek, the anguish that leave them frail
Dreams that keep them trying, fighting tooth and...

Staring from a distance that’s all I could see
A little boy child staring right back at me
His face had so much, so much to tell

Life is complicated darling,
But I prefer the simple life.
So this is my song to you
For I yearn you’ll be my wife.

Where will I find love tonight?
Tell me darling that it’s you,
When will happy days be...

A magic lump of silver with a Byzantine flower.
Planted on your chest a long time ago.
Awakened by the magic of our 555 kisses,
the silver key became.
Which opens the door to dreams of parallel
lives.

Intoxicated, in a...

Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 15

The Republic’s an headless Monster to let
Power mad individuals pay to rent head
The State’s enmeshed in the Admin’s red-tape net

The Administration cannot think nor beget
Must obey or its...

The man of which I speak.
Is heartless, shallow yet meek,
Sly and has much wit.

The story begins at the birth.
He was a baby with no considered worth.
They told him quit talking, just sit.

Growing up, it just...

I'm a victim of my circumstances....
Like a puppet that to its master dances...
I am a slave to the situation...
Who only imitates with precision....
Before you think I am rude & bad...
Crazy,aggressive or even mad....
Let me tell...

A forceful pungent smell
Hits me from this piece of land
Smeared with the precious blood
Of countless innocent people

Many vultures here hover
Over carcasses
Of several dead

I hear syllables
Of the long familiar refrain
Tightly knit together
Sounding clearer and clearer
At each...

Dare not listen 
Such cruelity to oneself 
Beware your heartness, Mind screams.
But Hearty has become mastermind
Having captured the entire system,
In a web tightly knit
All is forced to bow to the higher order.
We only do as...

I can invent no more crooked paths. 

What lies before you is the result of a well planned strategy;
No more ways I can find to...
