In Lieu of Soot
The world was my darkness The soot in my blackened sights I once cried in shallows Words entomed within my grave Dug with smiles merrit of fading sorrows My final morrows led by fate Towards the rejoicing of tomorrow. 3.11.23...

Premium Member Soot
Soot on LA highway signs. Billboard of you, a real estate agent. All endeavor slides toward inertia, extinction, forgetfulness. It’s very tropical. Vegetation invades the house unless constant inputs of joy apply. The scientist in you feels the great ape in you. The great ape feels death growing wide. What about work?

Ash and Soot
The anacrusis, please, andante maestoso, six bars, before the chorus comes… Hell, what is wrong with you, the mighty mage of music, virtuoso, the treble clefsmith? Why the plain and silly song a pretty flower girl sings outside the window on her way home from night dating made you put aside your magic bow? As holy Aurobindo once said in such a...

Sweeping smoke to mugs shape, water trickle wet my mustaches pointing to the sea, promising the land to germination, eggs aroma no iota...

Black Soot
Stranded on black soot in mood Pile of dusts sight, forsaken by time In the mangled maze, I glued Grief finally tranquilized, honored as it should Still, sense's writhing in a silent polemic Steal the realities which still running As was strolling in the haze of hallucinations The bitter whispers through scratches and melts into dripping sores Upon the night which had stolen Astonished...
