N-eedle in a haystack 
E-agerly evades the finder; 
S-earch is so difficult 
T-o any serious seeker.

R-emain inside the fold, till you hear the trumpet sound. 

E-ach elect has found...Read More

 

I
Just
Stand
Here
alone.

Factually,
A feat,
A pinnacle of
Engineering at almost
A thousand meters high,
A colossus, an omnipresence  
Comparable to God-
a man made concept 
advertised to exhaustion.

Amongst concrete caricature
cliche’d into postcards and keychains, I am
The subject, the focus and distinguished character;
an over- exaggerated needle...Read More

Getting an IUD feels like…
A needle in a haystack.
Except your uterus is the haystack
And the needle, it’s really in there.

It’s not a single garment below the waist,
Bare butt, bare back.
It’s lying down where many women have lied before,
Head wrinkling the...Read More

Look what you found in the classified ads,
while looking for that needle in a haystack
A Little Mermaid bassinet and baby stroller set
Puppies with adorable eyes, and vintage eight tracks ... 
obsolete technology from another time
Just about anything you could ever...Read More

her eyes were blue skies

the thrill of the hunt was a long track
she was like finding a needle in a haystack
he finally captured her eyes
thread to bare was full size
threading the needle took patience and tack

What is interesting to me is how we all have our own conception on…
- what is “interesting”.

Each brain contains at least one hundred billion cells, you see,
each cell designed different yet we may share the same view-
The science of sound...Read More

What on earth did I have in mind last night
What on earth did I hope to accomplish
Oh I'm sorry I left you in the dark
I spent all my precious time yesterday
attempting to turn my Wednesday
back into a glorious Tuesday
but it...Read More

I watched her at times, gazing into another world
Her head was past dwelling in the clouds
Way up high, and at times she would fall back to the ground.
She wore stars in her hair, milky way’s left and tangled in her...Read More

Been looking for love
And I know it’s very near  
But every time I find it
It always seems to disappear

Maybe I don’t know what
It is really I’m searching for
What if I had it already?
And let it walk out the door

I...Read More

Drops of water smashes down 
Eyes submerged they slowly drown 
Searching for the obsolete life crown
Looking for a needle in a haystack that is renown
Where the grass is greener on the other side
Never ending souls in a river of shredded...Read More

A needle in a haystack I am
Lost, beyond the boundary of my being.
It is a tiny universe you say
Finite from infinite end to infinite end
And still no bigger than the one
Whose voice wrote the words of its origin
And did he...Read More

I'm a needle in a haystack
walking about among all
never standing tall.
 A stick in an ever growing field of flowers.
never a stalk, never any power.
just a lone discarded weed, but i feed
on your unknowing, my unshowing.
until an unblossoming of a...Read More

something so small
so delicate
so specific to one’s own
idiosyncratic nature &
it seems like a needle in a haystack
found years ago
keeping one’s psyche in check
from the little café where that perfect cup of 
joe has been
uncovered
to that perfect bowl of ice cream...Read More

it's looking kinda stainless, me I'm living

The sun barbequed the skin, raising a tenderized pink glow 
to the cheeks of the children in the ramshackle red barn.
The three story hay loft partly empty was bristling with tikes.
Pincushioned with straw, sharp as needles,
in their hair, tee-shirts and...Read More

Once I went searching through
What dwells in my mind
A needle in a haystack
Can be hard to find
I thought of places I have been
Things that I have seen
Sometimes a nightmare
Starts off as a dream
That nightmare left me all alone
Living in my...Read More
