a faceless evil aborted
before its heart could start beating,
before its eyes could grow in.
Of course I would hide it away!...

Where all the muses would have gone
Aborted in the harsh depth of eternity
Imagination would have remained unborn.

Fleeting recalls.

Renewed disdain.

Karma aborted love.

For our past due pain....

shaking hands with the invisible man
while "knees" just cackled and snorted
as the border was aborted
the Easter bunny took total command...

if you live for yourself
go back to your mother’s womb

How do you start over
 consumed by the end
Beginnings aborted 
as judgment portends
Desperately hiding

For all of those presents

  the more distant they seem

The past and the future,
  reality’s dream

The cry of the dead
  the wail of those gone
unheeded by the uncaring living
  who dully carry on

Are their pleas any different
  from the screams of those unborn
aborted by the uncaring living
  who dully carry on...

The older I get
  the closer it seems

The past from the future
  what’s real, to my dreams

The older I get
  the deeper it feels

Distraction aborted

with each passing train 
the house trembles 
aborted dreams

strangers in the night
the creaking floorboards
she cheats on him

wafts of warm
spiced paratha bread
her aroma lingers

with fruitfulness of children.

Now counted millions lead in death,

through troubled thoughts for Adam mind,

not counted blessings born to bless,

but snuffed before first blessing’s breath....

America, land of the free,
riches and opportunity, 
abound from sea to shining sea,
dreams become reality.

Everyone has the right to be, 
equal voice of society,
everyone that is…except me,
was not given the chance to breathe....

Low and lonely, but not to succumb
Through warring thoughts a pitfall deep
Ireful, rueful, contort
This speaker’s blunder deemed

Subdued with met solution
Devil’s plot decayed
Ruinous intent aborted 
Blithe courage keenly resumed...
