My pilgrimage, its last laborious mile,
It’s time to call the curtain in a while,
Time ‘tis to say goodbye to my dear friends…
And to show up...

we groan in pain for solace,
in hope that someday, they'll ease our pain,
When fools are in Power,
They cast the weight of pain upon our brow,
and make us wish...

Being saner, kinder, gentler, wiser,
Are a cancerous race to satisfy the insatiable.

And Colder Felt the Chill
...That night amidst cries, clamours, din,
When coffin scandal headlines claimed,
We shuddered— such was stench of sin,
Those in snow felt ash grey, ashamed,
In sullied caskets feeling ill,

Despite the seemingly endless love.

My Children

Among blessed mothers...alone
When proof was in place
I rejoiced with those who jeered
Finally, when you arrived
I endured entitled cheers
As you grew into self

Formed from their deepest fears
............of faliure
When we rose up out of darkness
To live in...
