Hearts in Heaven Bangladesh's Cry: A Linking Pin Sonnet The sky held screams—screams torn through burning blue, Blue smoke descended where small footsteps grew. Grew bright young dreams in uniforms so white, White pages turned with innocence and light. Light left the room when iron wings struck ground, Ground broke in silence, swallowing every sound. Sound echoed loud through broken bricks...

A child as grows enjoys rainbow of joys, Many a marvel in a wondrous world, Joys mingling with toys getting bouncy buoys, A world of birds and butterflies unfurled.

We walk, hand in hand , we talk ~ cotton candy and caramel apples, music, rides and fanfare, sounds of joy and laughter in the air. Let the festivities commence: flashing lights and chaos, screams and giggles, rides and arcade games. The carnies are hyped up with their wiles and guiles to entice us in all ways. Summer is not complete 'til we’ve had our fun at...

If any would stop me, my rage I’ll display. Nothing or no one will stand in my way. True love hath no captor, it must be free. Our hearts and our...

Double time hits for the ceiling — The clouds of white smoke, the healing Childhood in my skin finally relaxes Everyone around me in lapses Coffee forms the swollen cheeks With history's pick of bean Water remembers Water pushed under embers The percolator Like some wound drips her. Eyes on the preppy barista — Maybe we both see in similar vistas She writes down...

[Verse 1] I was half a man in a boy’s disguise, Tried to speak truth, but it came out lies. Didn’t know how to break what I couldn’t define— So I blew us up like I’d lost my mind. You were books I hadn’t read yet, Said lines I loved but never met. You danced in the rain, without regret, I stood in...
