Catching fireflies on stageI want to write something grand
I want to catch some fireflies
Without applauses or a band
Cage words in a jar for eyes

String them with floating vowels
Words imprison djins, you know
Don't you...

November BleaknessBleakness
A story of an
Outward blanket
Of whiteness and cold..
Overwhelming perhaps..
Reflections arise of the
Amazing sudden change..
In the story may also arise
A sense of no-time
A sense of no-changing:
No-changing seeming as
Bleakness..
And peace......

Black FridayBlack Friday
Draws attention to
The shelves..
Inviting the seeker
In all of us

Seasonal story
Of frenzy..

To join or withdraw
Only enhances the
Seeker's persistence
And desperation..
Freedom may appear
With the ending of
The choice......

Listening Is Better Than Talking
Listening is of such great value
compared with just doing talk
this has been my real experience
makes one stand alone like a rock
Having had a stammer all of life
I have learnt to listen far more
for listening is...

Poetry Comes To MeWhen silence is no savior,
I try to tell my tale through words estranged from my tongue,
where poetry comes to me in sombre spasms,
the "me", who you do not know.
But these suppressed emotions barely define battles...

Neglect“A wound gets worse when it’s treated with neglect.” – Stevie Nicks
My heart aches,
like the sun aches for the moon,
but stalling became my shackle,
knowing an evolution was never
on the horizon;
wandering stark habitats—
paradoxically, a devoted...
