Heart robbers
Chasing after fine brothers,

Prior to a valentine arrival,
This elfin figure had no rival.
Hobgoblins are hobnobbing again
Playing games for a heart to sprain
Plastic surgeons with harpoons and weapons
To bludgeon emotions for coupons, sine qua non.
But this gossamer heart’s gone to bed, futon anon! 

Heart robbers,
Costumed as fine brothers....

rip tides swallowed it‘s prey

              opened an underworld

                            of breathless surrender

                                          hobgoblins mocked descent

a sinkhole of laughter

              sardonic grins prevailed

                            in face of their current

                                          disbelief of survival...

There is God, and He is one.
Without Him, long back we could have gone.
But still, we on our own divide one God;
In His name, still we break our own harmony chord. 
We still fight, taking His different name, 
And we only in His name bring humanity into shame. 
By taking His name when we are bringing destruction, 
We call it nothing but religious revolution. 
Oh God, why have You made so many human beings, 
As they take Your name to become hobgoblins?...

steeped in an ocean of time
slow motion’s recurrence reverberated 
concentric circles rippled the tide
moored its anchor 
in illusions of safety

yet the harbour was far away
a mere tug at a distant shore

once more it sent out its signal
as he finally snapped ready to drown

never again said the mermaid
leave the sinister hobgoblins
and straddle Atlantis with me

secured at last he acknowledged 
that letting go of the past
meant freedom and safety
