Teardrops And Coffee-Stains
At
the bottom
of every corner store
and coffee shop mug,
there is a collection of
teardrops and coffee-stains.
Waiting
to be gathered
so they can write
their stories in indelible
ink.

I gaze upon the spectrum of the past in rainbows and oil stains
I gaze upon the spectrum of the past in rainbows and oil stains,
The lights dissolve into a sea of colors, of green, blue, and red,
And I fade with them, like a dream slipping away at dawn,
I sigh my words onto the window, a silent poem meeting your gaze.
On nights like this, even breathing becomes a

Stains of shame
"I entered the bus, full and crowded,
Wearing a white kurta, pure and unblemished.
But when I got off, it was stained red,
Without consent, my dignity was shed.
I walked to the store, trying to escape,
But the red spread, a constant ache.
Inside the store, it grew even more,
A reminder of the pain I couldn't ignore.
I took an auto,

What buoys the Harris campaign?
Trump’s stench with an orange pee stain
While Walz is revered
J.D. seems too weird
And Kennedy has a wormed brain

Blood Stains
The blood of a patriot spreads
Like the waves on an endless sea
Though many a patriot dreads
This is where they were meant to be
There's blood on both banner and sword
And blood on the field of battle
There's blood on both ocean and fiord
Where men are slaughtered like cattle
All day and all through the night

Stains of Silence
Drizzling webs, wanderer’s shelter
Asylum to the nocturnal,
Warring, nomadic spirits, rambling
On gossamer threads, strands so silken
Trembling with soundless lessons….
Sprinkling buds, costly shadows
Silhouettes of bruised flowers, eclipsed,
By the plethora of rain, flowing,
Gentle like the voice of mourning sun,
Pledging to erase the silence of stardust moon…
Showering oaks, walnuts and pine trees
In affectionate kisses, wet like a river,
Risking each

There’s so many stains on my floor
From your cat’s
To the bleach
That spilled on the floor
I wonder if the
Scent of my room
Had changed
From the very presence
Of you
& not in a good
Way either
Might as well
Dismiss the
Rest of the
Trauma because
Living with you
Felt like my all time
Low. I feel

STAINS OF DEMOCRACY
Ah, Democracy, that grand charade
Where every voice is equal made.
But think, what chaos this has bred
With common folk so widely led!
A vote for every man and Bio?
Come now, let's be serious, still.
Why trust the masses with the fate
Of nations large and issues great?
Behold the wisdom of the few
The enlightened ones who truly knew
The paths to

Ink Stains Cadence of Words
Ink stains and fragmented thoughts
fuse upon lined pages,
a dance of fleeting emotions
and raw revelations.
A symphony of words whispered to the wind,
painting vivid images of love, pain, and resilience.
Poetry, the heartbeat of our souls,
encapsulating the essence of humanity
in every stanza,
a timeless echo of our deepest truths.
For

On The Wrong Side Of History
You may be very wealthy and powerful,
Yet you're doomed to fail like a fool,
If you are on the wrong side of history,
Where a deep sludgy hole is your final destiny.
Hitler at one point found himself on the slippery slope
Where he crashed and his neck ended in a rope.
He eventually vanished, disappeared and gone
Like a flash

Painting On the Wall
I sit here, perched on the wall
Frozen forever
Face in my hands
Black waves tumbling past my shoulders
Smiling, pearly white teeth glistening
My brown eyes admire you from my spot, here on the wall
They admire your features, your furrowed brow, your sharp features
But you pay me no notice
You used to
Now the only attention I get is from

Soul Stains
each touch friction
as two objects rub
with ego assigning meaning
refracting light pristine white
unvoiced emotes
ink the vast void
which acknowledges our gifts
manifesting sunshine and rain
