A Statement May Be a QuestionHe slipped away? Or did they take him?
Stranger things have happened, have they not?
Why do I ask so many questions of myself?
Or am I asking questions of him?
I could make statements.
He went off of his own accord.
This is one of his stranger happenings.
I have to ask so many questions.
So, this could be a question.
Or is...

The End of an Era: A Letter to Benjamin NetanyahuBenjamin Netanyahu,
you once stood as a symbol of Israel’s resolve,
but power gained through fear and manipulation
is a flame that burns its master first.
You rose through the ranks
on speeches of security and pride,
but history has already spoken—
the tears of Gaza will not be washed away by silence.
Every forty-five minutes, a child died,
and the world watched—
but the...

Yearning Into ReverieOn dark, cold soil,
atop the soaring green turf,
lay cold, rusty, nostalgic houses.
The path that led to them
was faded and shallow,
with the feeling
it could cave in
at any moment.
Scattered along that path
were derelict vehicles
from different eras
each one different heaps of life.
Fog filled the houses.
It filled the cars too,
like a raging campfire,
too sinister
to be put out.
And yet here...

The beginning or The end?
The wind stood still, the stars held breath,
Two voices rose in life and death.
One whispered start, one thundered close,
Each pulled the soul where no one knows.
Beginning sang with morning light:
"Come rise with me, embrace the fight.
Your dreams are seeds; they’ve just been sown—
Why fear the path you’ve never known?"
End replied in velvet tone:
"But peace is...

An Elegy on Death-3AN ELEGY ON DEATH -3
Bow like rainbow it gave
While I want to it near,
I want to it heart embrace
While even cann't give me own fear.
Smile a lot I do in mask
While ,the last it true when?
It's I think very difficult task,
Hide with pain regression then.
The small bonds of Psaltery
Leave with the worst condition,
When they again...

Drowning in SorrowI’m so tired of spendin’ nights alone
The test of time has left me like a stone
Drinkin’ time—I feel it in my bones
Feel so numb, I can’t pick up the phone
Drownin’ in sorrow, can’t find my way
Lost in the darkness, day after day
Tears fill my eyes as I silently pray
For a glimmer of hope to guide...

The Ballad of Alexander WoodLast night I dreamt of a roadside stop—
an ice cream truck near a rusted shop.
Its engine was spent, its music was low,
and something inside told me I should l go.
I stepped through the door because I could,
and met a man by the name of Alexander Wood.
He wore a bowtie and a crooked smile,
a paper hat,...

Prisoner of the mindIn shadows deep where chaos grips my heart, A whispered cry is heard from the darkened cells
A child once laughing beneath a sunlit sky, Now lost in the darkness of despair.
Fear crawls like a serpent in the night, its scales revealing the demons I bear
I drown in thoughts that bind me to...

The Crown of Silence: A Lament for King Charles IIIYou wear a crown forged in centuries of silence,
Not of gold, but of tears—each gem a wound,
Each jewel a stolen breath from lands unnamed.
The sun never set on your empire, Charles,
But neither did its shadow.
At seventy-three, you ascend a throne
Built on the backs of broken nations.
Malawi mourns not your reign, but its own hunger.
India remembers...

Not Her Fault"It was your dress," they replied
Was it? The ripped fabric cried
The 5-year-old's laughter silenced that day
Couldn't even scream, "I'm just a child," and ran away
"It was your shorts," they claimed
Was it? The torn seams proclaimed
The 10-year-old's dreams shattered, flamed
Couldn't even cry, "I'm just a girl," with shame
"It was your clothes," they blamed
Was it? The cloth...

The Man Who Carried the LightI walked that road when crisis struck—
voices blurred, strangers recoiled,
and help summoned cold authority.
Then a kind man appeared—
heart vast as hope’s horizon—
he paused his world to meet mine,
ran through traffic, time bending to his kindness.
In less than an hour, my turmoil bowed
to a gentleness I thought lost.
Across the miles, a penny’s cost
multiplies—mockery, bullying, endless arguments
shaded...

LostAmid the fire of twilight sun
I wish I knew my way
horizon’s char and moonlight’s shun
has ashed my hope I pray
for dark cloud constellation to free
a steed for me to flee gunshot streets
for primrose to steal my jaundice
and burn the itch in roadside stars
for me to follow scent and sight
and find forsaken...

No life, No deathOh death
The fear of countless souls
I adore your kiss
I need you close
When will we meet?
When shall you come?
It's too long a wait
Please come tonight
I don't know you
I know life is a tsunami
Perhaps you can rescue me
Where shall we meet?
Oh life
The lover of the lifeless
I've honored your presence
I gave you my all
Why...
