How may we know Godsmall baby steps, one at a time
take us to our destination
ladder of life let’s slowly climb
at peace in tranquil cessation
we dwell in form by night and day
and therefore we are hypnotised
but in the void of cessation
truth of God can be realised
let us celebrate the stages
of our spiritual ascent
inspired by counsel of sages
to accord love...

MayThere are towel-drying winds.
parks grow soggy with small dogs.
May is an old man riding a bike backwards.
It is oil for the broken engine in the barn.
Wetness folds this way and that
the sky unzips a larkish sunshine.
We hear nestlings in their reservoirs of dew.
New life bubbles in puddles,
the green and tufted arrive out of nowhere,
boys' fish...

By May, three months went passed,
We enjoyed three day trips to the nature.
We respected and polite to each other.
Somehow I started having feelings for you.
I knew from the beginning,
Our relationship could not go beyond than this.
But my brain could not control my heart,
So it started to contemplate some ideas,
By not using the facilities at...

Things may not be quite as they seem
There is order to my chaos
an urgency to make things right
I have ambitions I can taste
dreams that must be set in motion
once I see the morning light
There is order some my chaos
a plan when all you see is madness
I fear that I’ll run out of time
I long to leave my affairs most orderly
A fine book...

scent of MayThe scent of May draws me to the lilac bush
It has blossomed this year into a tall tree
Her fragrance is unmistakable
Her blooms seem darker than ever
She awakens my sense of joy
I am in awe of this purple queen
Do you smell the lilac? I ask a little one
She nods, but I wonder
Is she smelling lilac or...

The ocean may
be the drop behind her white noise
The ocean may
move Ariel's heartthrobs away,
as breaking waves chance with her voice —
to work down tears in salty poise,
The ocean may

Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail, 31 May, 1970B-52: a city on its own.
You mess with us, we’ve got technology.
I loved it when we flew into the zone:
as Ernie said, “We’ll kill ’em till they’re free.”
My job? To watch the black cascade of death
and myriad explosions in the woods:
Louisiana lilt – “You hold your breath,”
that’s Ernie’s voice – “delivering the goods!”
The pretty...

A fence and an unforgettable memory2024.5.26
Sunday, My house was broke in.
The next day, you messaged me "Good morning".
Two hours later, I explained about the robbery.
"Invaded?? i went past and saw
The police van this morning.
I was a bit worried that
Something might have happened."
From that day, every evening,
You came to my place and stay till quite late.
You made sure I was protected,
Until...

Dandelions Of MayI saw the bending stems of lively green—
Where stalked a little sun of yellow bright.
Should love be like a flow’r, a sweet nineteen,
And May, a month so dry and passing rites.
Of fondest dearing names I say and tell,
Adoring in ways never thought I’d say.
Alas a wind of chill and heat did fell,
A sign for...

still caught in MayMay is the season of Rain
droplets of soft note
tapping rhythm into my coat
tip— tap. tip— tap.
she walks with me and starlight
for a silent talk midnight
May is the season of Rain
I watch her dance
as sun sinks beneath the fence—
tip— tip— ...

Don't Take Life Too SeriousStand up,
Won’t lay down 'til I stack up.
Fed up with the brokenness
A liq just gonna tease me
Focus,
Pull up in a Lotus.
Fly on essential,
Throw up like bulimic
With you she a padlock,
With me she a secret.
Convenient,
Don’t take life too serious.
Articulate,
Went and took one
She missed on her period.
For my dogs, I’m ruthless,
Like John Wick, I...

We May have Lost HimWith an ingenuine saccharine la-di-da
The hoity toity woman said “hi” to ma
A want to be royal, an aristocrat
stated poser, false Sheila name of Pat
My brother was smitten right away
He gave her his best times of day
Pat could have been a clock tower shooter
He did not see this at all, my brother Tooter
She is so refined...

humorously, posthumously,
and tempestuously expressing woes
from the top of my talking head
to gnarly nails of
(this little piggy fame) toes
in sore need and want
of a podiatrist I suppose,
which keratin structures
at the end of plates
of meaty ten digits
topping off little feet
dextrous enough...
