In a moment
Ten turns to twenty,
Then, thirty to forty,
Then, fifty to sixty…

In a moment…
Blessings are forgotten,
Sometimes simply ignored…
While hope is found in hearts
Who know the meaning of real love,
Love that abides in the soul…
Who knows...

“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed”


In the live network 
of intricate unassailable design,
invisible layer on imperceptible layer,...

Where did you find safety when you were a child, 
?Did flight also help you, I wonder my friend? 
?I felt like it did me, but that was because
?My mom didn’t try hard to suss...

Music and romance are camarilla comrades,
just like poems are my shield and arrows.
But not all lullabies of lovers,
harmonise like a street choir of angels.
If love resembles the weather,
then poetry is like a snowflake.
Its fragile abstract...

Her birth was never trumpeted,
Nor caught any media headlines.
Born to Joachim in very ordinary settings,
Virgin Mary, the simplest of the simple,
Was specially chosen to perform a task divine.
As she grew up, she pledged to keep...

Winter’s cold chill cuts through my chin.
Within its bleak and brazen embrace,
My brisk days are turned brief and barren.
They are lengthened into sordid sepulchral insomniac nights.
I slither and slip and am hurled into hibernation.

Once I...

Aye, retreat to this immutable secretive place
rise, yes come forth from your lethal darkness
from shadows and bask in eternal rooted glory!

Ruler of my emotions I beseech you to...

In the live network 
of intricate unassailable design,
invisible layer on imperceptible layer, 
the latticed mind is stratified.
On spiritual strata the devout strands
align with the innate awareness,
sublime sagacious patterns 
of pious perception are unified.

Many existential attributes...

A self-assured progressive projectile
Locked on its target like a heat seeking missile
Confident, a smile all the while
Marvellous like a polished marble tile
Strong, but fragile 
An ambiguous profile
To remain unresolved, a mystery file
Trendy, always in style
Smooth...

1.
“Communion of saints, forgiveness of sins,”
Worship words recited, relationships
Reflected among restless, inconstant,
Imperfect people, somehow sharing a
Faith which makes them one. I appropriate
These sacred words to speak in hallowed
Terms to the bond which unites our two...

Upheld by sublime testimony, verily unadulterated
Never to blend with filthy nuances of naughtiness
Asserting the Word from the supreme great Almighty…
Scripture stays pure along hallowed stature
Sanctified by the Lord Who remains sovereign
Affirming cleansing might of righteous...

Have you watched an eagle in flight?
On wings flayed, it looks a massive kite
It shoots into the heights with unlabored ease
Enjoying the kiss of passing breeze

Quickly disappearing into the seamless sky
It becomes invisible to every...

Quiet and listen!!! I ordered myself
Focus and watch!!! My brain coded to my cells
Ponder and wonder!!! Was the obdurate melody of my sense
But no one could evolve a meaning out of these paranormal scenes

I could...

Your body is lowered into the ground, where you lie in darkness.
My warm tears mingle with December's cold rain... I lament.
War's grip holds me in depression, for this should be my grave.
"TAKE COVER!" you yelled,...

Line of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew

To which image, oh dear soul, should...

No matter yours truly
(potential rising star -
analogous to ascending yeast)
bred for easy street
life of po' witless
mendicant nimbly,

pointlessly, and rhythmically
shuffles (think tramp)
along his poetic little feet
garden variety beastie boy
aimlessly, fortuitously, halfheartedly,
and mindlessly follows

one after another backstreet
revisiting,...

When accidental 
auroras stroll along 
the pale highlights of
camouflaging corpses
and death blossoms
in vulturous hearts of 
dreadful puppets, 
she always holds
pixie dusts of 
strawberry seeds within 
october's obsidian quartz. 

Gaze beyond those
glass-stitched horizons, 
as she cracks...

Handsomer men of better height wonder
Where the secret of my irresistible charm lies;
They do not believe it when I enter the pub
And push all the dazzling girls to their highs.

It’s the confidence of my mien,

Your petals pitch quite exciting,
It blossom from nectars of peaches
hallowed by sweet ovary
down to the pendicle 
where the light from the Sun
incur it turbelent gaze!

Mother say any wedding without you
is like a music undressing the...

Unassailable purity, a cognition divine of venerated mind,
Proffers promise inviolable, beneficence sacred aligned,
With force invincible emanating from goodwill of heart
Forming precepts impeccable, teachings benevolent impart.

Purity of thought and action~ a worthy and righteous goal,
Resounds indomitable...

Sown seed of wisdom...!

We err in our judgments 
and that - we do know!
deep in the closets of our heart, 
but we just don't show!

Lugged by our ego and pride,
we continue to tow -
those assumed lines of...

Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart, for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.  ~Author James Baldwin

the honorable title, "I am...
