In rivers of tears
a joy of having found you,
with words so sublime
such sentimentality
formatted in one’s own truth...
In your story i see you!

And what are naked words ?
Words that are not formatted in a sentence or paragraph
Or surrounded by punctuation marks or numbers....

Stark,
naked,
bare,
stare.

Full,
pull,
forced,
gorged.

hammered,
stammered,
grammered,
wrote.

logical,
symmetrical,
spherical,
formatted,

delivered,
couriered,
in cell,
was the death sentence....

When I installed you to my life, 
My heart went packed of love, 
Like a ROM in full memory .
I was initialized and formatted,
Yet you remained saved.
Just a nanosecond, 
I became your cursor 
And you were my mouse....

A drip is just a drop ;
formatted liquid that falls ;
from a lot;
 water burst quenches;
 your thirst frequent;
Agua water winter turns to frost;

There’s this invisible shape that get formatted between my hands
A mold of a thing a statue of a being
Writhing my hands I compress to feel its pressure I press to feel resistance 
With the slightest push back 
I feel the attack 
I stand no ground 
I’m only out to live a merry-go-round...

Cluster
Unseen Tiny
Raceme of future
Coming in buds
Under the tense
Formatted under
The chilly
The early buds
Of spring
The new stems
The first buds
Of spring 

Buds of hope
In wishes- your
 Happy
New year





Happy New Year And may your lives all blossom
 in joy health and prosperity
 in peace- Happy new year/ sallam...

Bravery.
That is the question,
formatted in a statement.

What is its dichotomy,
can we dissect or analyze it?

Is it a cranial function, which
is up to debate in the lecture type fashion.
Does it do well with grey areas, and nerve functions.

Bravery.
Is it a tangible substance,
attained in the supernatural realm.

How is can it be acquired,
can everyone be brave?

Is cowardice its foe, 
or is fear it's only malfunction.
Do the brave fear, or is fear not brave?...

I reached to touch with soft caress
Your silken dress
So beautiful
Then, back at school

Those were the days that were carefree
Just you and me
I adored you
A love so true

Time has passed and so quickly by
That is just why
I still love you
Worship you, too
