O’ Mother!, take me back at last, receive —(unclasped arms as vast as mine)—my embrace; this longing, laughing love, the proof and grace of my abiding for your shores.—I grieve the lasting loss that shear struck—do believe my grave and groveling art of disgrace,— when ten years had but barely found their place in my life. As with you then, now...

It is the world of Shiva and Shaitan It is the world of Krishna and Kant Devi on Nandi holding Demon and Son Devotees, Deities, Ash, Claps and Fun Fragile girl carrying child in her arm's Not mother but a sister’s virgin palms To Die for him but not a bruise to touch Just Bottom pinching nothing too much Anguish in her arms...

I watched the porch lights flicker on for them— the laughter soft, the timing always right. The chairs were full. I hovered at the stem of every plan, then vanished with the night. A window cracked, a voice that called too late, a message read, replied to days behind. No slammed door, just a pattern I could trace— how even warmth turns...

"Raise the Shields" (Dr. Spence Linking Pin Sonnet for Child Abuse Prevention Month) Cries pierce the silence where trust should have grown, Grown are the shadows where safety's unknown, Unknown are the wounds that no eye can see, See how the soul screams while lips whisper "free." Free them from hands that betray every vow, Vow to stand firm and protect them...

It’s hubris, I suppose, down in my soul, To think the ends will justify all means. And thinking that all rules are drab and dull I end up being blown to smithereens. But truly I know what is for the best! Thus, whispers little demons in my ears. Consider it a type of sacred quest And follow your own heart and not...

Temptations for sweets could never be drained. All attempts to avoid sweets went in vain. To adore sweets, my tongue is trained. Demons of greed for sweets coul not be slain. ...

A Collaboration with Duke Beaufort The youthful memories I have did grate Upon my innermost self and I'd cry For my depressed spirit which longed to die And halt life tainted with anger and hate Yet now in a manic marvelous state Akin to alcohol’s euphoric high My heart's core renewed, can soar to the sky How this came to be, I’ll try...

“The somber sun sets to rise again with the grandeur of sanguinity” - Poet Sinking beauty of sadness I revel as scarlet sunset takes away my day. Joy of twilight time last rays unravel in pensive painting of life in decay. In the darkest of nights the stars shine bright, silver dust spreads tinsel tinge on sorrow. Rustle of dull leaves makes...

Your needs unmet and, too, mine equally fulfilled,—I s’pose it’s best to leave this where it stands.—what other course could feel as fair? But deep disturbances in mon esprit, increasingly violent unto me, (as roaring winds and foaming omens) stir tidal wave emotions without compare;— breaking—in terrific fatality. My heart adrift,—stranded soon on your shore,— beats weak, throbs sad sobs, sniffles back such...

My sibling sister and friend without spite or rivalry, I loved beyond compare; Athena-like and lovely as the night, your soul, a brilliant flame that burned with flair, gave light to me and soothed my manic fears; maternal saint and healer, you alone have cared for...

It’s hard to comprehend when I look out, but the science has left so little doubt, ten thousand years back, this place I call home was chilly depths, where only fishes roamed. The whole if it a lengthy glacial lake, but to my mind that seems like some mistake. Ten thousand years…that doesn’t seem so long, Karan Tepe is older, it feels...

What could be too beautiful to describe? A sunset golden in the western sky. Poetic words of wonder locked inside. Music so melodic, it makes one cry. What is so lovely, it happens unseen? Thankfulness growing in a grateful heart. Division of two from an unborn gene. The passing of passion within the dark. What words bring peacefulness to solemn ears? “From all candidates,...

When hues collide, a stark and brutal scene, Black bruises blooming where the light once played, And blue, a sorrow, silent and unseen, Beneath the surface, where the heart's betrayed. Is this the canvas where our truths reside? A testament to battles fought and lost, Where tenderness and anger cannot hide, And pain's raw artistry incurs such cost? Or do these colors whisper...
