Still happened again?
Or I'm the one who can't explain?
I've tried baby, can't you see?
Is it true you liked to unite like a bee?
Or you will only love me when you a free?
Don't waste time love...

Dear trafficker,I am on the run
With face emitting fear
Worn in clothe surged into rag
By the scissors of rape
linen scars
With the screech from angry nails;
narrow escape.

Do not ask why I run
Like a prey dodging the hunters’...

Tishmandu
 
My eyes can see
That the sand is like sea
And it stretches to the end of my mind
On a ship set to sail
with four legs and a tail
Tishmandu I set out to find
 
Now the...

IDEA TRAPPERS

I take a semblance of a hen
A hen conceives an egg
And brings forth an egg
The conditions have to be right
Or else there could never be eggs or hens
If that be the end of a...

Cycles of life stream reams of joy and pain
Alternating nets and magnets of sunshine and rain
Sifting through rest and strain  

When by default I favour a fault
That in my right sense I should halt
Meaning...

Excellence in God’s Eyes

Words of wisdom haunt wayward souls.
And rationalization carries one into the pit.
But understanding elevates the heart.
And brings a man to his eternal joy.
A man who perceives another man’s needs, 
Whether physical, emotional,...

I speak of a passion which only God can deny
for what other Force may decide when Heroes should die
Along rainswept passages and rut-strewn way
I see my brothers stoop'd down to pray

We each stumbled and groped...

There's mischief in the air, and in the sky
Rises fair, sublime, and rare - Blue Moon.
Son of Venus, hidden, now lets fly
An arrow to a chaste fair maid who soon
Shall spy a youthful eager boy...

-My wish-
To you is a word a cast - even success
Yet even better wishes outshine
This in frequency enshrine
That Success is not an end
But a state of being and becoming
You have to succeed before a perfect...

In the event of that morning
The allures of the luring lulling yellows rays
A caress of the beam that lit lucid
I was not another day
So it was in a ponder and wonder
A day dragged into a...

Exodus
From a distant hill far away
Shadowed off by a monstrous cloud stormy
Lay signs and sighs
From an alley tucked away
Sheltered off by ghostly shades of moaning moon
Flogs chorus a hollow song in a fog
The twinkling mirage...

Torrid sunshine blisters reign on pavement,
that colour coded coffee stain slipway,
bearer of insole-laden footwear,
open source channel for glib hot air calculus  from starchy social climber, stock market drivel flies off tongue,
strolling human morph blasé...

And, 
If our eye is not unto Him tilted upwards single
And here below are bowed to vanity entangle
Or else, unto another twisted mortal affixed
A surety inbound woe ever will ensue
The Word of His is a...

Free From Money


I search for money and money I cannot find
What do I perceive;
more search and tired mind
I search for money and money I cannot find.

I don't need a bank
to lean on my flank.

In pursuit...

At the dextrous flick of a pliant switch,
or some hue laden buoyant platform,
building sturdy grey grain bridges, 
thin veil barren vacuum putative, 
in a distant introverted wingspan,
yearning heart at the kernel of a handset,
shrink-wrap diaspora...

BEFORE MY ALWAYS EVENTFUL DAY IS QUITE SPENT,
 THERE IS MUCH TO SEE AND TO ADMIRE AS THE SCENT
SNIFFS THE NOSTRL, GIVING ONE SUCH GENTLE PLEASURES.
OH,SUCH PLEASURES MAKING ONE GRATEFUL TO MEET SUCH FURNITURES-

IF THERE...

Phobia? Irrational?
When was that the case?
Empire, art thou factional?
Fractioned by the chase?

Satisfaction? Where to find?
Thousand-faced, age-lined?
Freedom lurking in thy mind?
How the dark sun shined...

Vehicles, flutter about!
Effect what ye can!
Ailing aged, random rout?
O for, fate of...

There’s Father’s Day
There’s Mother’s Day
Why can’t there be Brother’s Day
Maybe in the month of May
Set it up without delay
A Brother’s Day
Mom and Dad would probably say
A brother always gets his way
On Brother’s Day
Where would all...

My heart submitted to no one,
A completion of self with another was a fight to shame a proud mother
And still as the waves crash against the rocks, 
You sway against me, push upon me- rough...

Life fragile
Throbbing within brittle bodies
At the same time fertile and sterile
Swimming in ebbing eddies

At the most unexpected moment
Fragility strikes a lung
Next inflicts on legs fragments of torment
So badly strung

A woe-struck woman weeps and weeps
Groaning and...

I determine to do my best
With God doing the rest
In every quest, every test 

Despite my evident weakness
Hitherto escorting the sleazy sickness
I display in the recklessness

I believe unsetlles naysayers
Who belittle soothsayers
Alleging they’re wolves and players

Determined...

Choose to fade away...!

Indeed it is we who keep our worlds afloat,
in the bargain, crossing vary many a moat!
Came from nothing and will go back to it,
yet, carry impressions on every small bit!!

Let your remaining joy locate you now without any further delay,
Even if more success and more prosperity have to join in a fast relay,
The goal is that all the best things of life should find...
