latched to hope
she patiently waits 
for his love and warmth…
chilly night 
approaches

Witty sweet man Paul Callus
gets better with every callous.
His many splendid poems
too good! His computer broken!

Dedicated to Paul Callus

In his dream did appear her soul he adored,
Which he wished and wanted to be restored;
Hear her sing;
Back bring;
Now has been in heaven in hands of his Lord.

sick am I heart's love
 my mind emotions frozen
heart bleeds hurting so

such mind thinks of the sadness
frozen emotion

Premium Member Station Road

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

A Personal Companion

There is a callus on my finger,
it is where my talent lives.

Growing wiser with each stroke,
it feeds on tantalizing inscriptions
-
which I meticulously sculpt
-
as I transform my inner reflections
into leaden-inked realities.

Premium Member Iron Love

Let me stumble,
I promise you I’ll stand up;

Let me stumble,
wretched knees gain a callus;

Let me stumble,
I’ll win, I  like to scuffle;

Let me stumble,
my base will become iron;

Let me stumble,
and just love me when I do.

Premium Member Where Aspen Trees Grow

where aspens huddle
in dense woods or open heaths
I often linger...
the shimmering foliage
my inebriated soul

She nagged, in monologue,
Her wicked tongue aflame!
But I cared not –

Packed a bigger punch!

Unintelligible

A shift in consciousness 
A callus formed 
An attempt at a better life 
Failure, disapproval, disregard
A lack of perspective 
An excuse
A willingness 
Loss, bitterness, overdrive 
A callus formed 
A shift in consciousness

Elaborate the plan
Enticing by pretence
Exclusive in deceit
Extols hypocrisy.
Each step has been rehearsed
Except for masquerade
Excessively disguised.

Yellow Truth

Those men like calluses put a yellow tape:
"Do not pass!", and start sawing the iron.
And the iron cries.
I stay suspended as a bubble
and tremble. It is time for me to learn the truth:
I know how to fly - or I know how to become a callus 
waiting for those men to build 
some new stairs.
