The thought dictators tantalize the catalysts of paradise enraged by their poisoned words they end their silly excuse of life. The instigators mask their death with the flowers of war Behold! thy goddamned faith adding salt to our scars.

Behold! The clarinets blow Night has befallen, on Rapture's Eve In Durga's womb, life yet grows The Tulsi-shed moans, yet Amma lives The spiral of the engine wheels The pressing trail of steam engines The landscapes drawn, by handcart wheels The song of the road yet begins. The stolen necklace, in Durga's box where she stored all her dreams are...

Why do I think I'm as strong as I used to be That doesn't make any sense to me. My mind seems to be willing and ready But I can't stand straight or remain steady. I act like I'm going to complete the task But I'm so good at wearing this mask. People see this man who seems so agile But I'm elderly, feeble, and fragile. I wish I could tell you...

There were signs on the door that read no Mexicans allowed Even signs on the water fountain for the colored people The restaurants were out of limit for the other kind No eating in the dining area, you must go to the kitchen. Segregation, discrimination, hatred in 1950's or in the 1960's This was all a real thing that was going on in our...

I get lost in the league of metaphors I simply glide with the rhythm of leaves My heart doth blaze, in the burning camphor In fragile soil, I bury Her seeds The pleasing black, of her open eyes recalls me to return my home with sevenfold depth, the songbirds cry in unison with the Livingstones.

The wounded snake its hood unfurls its wounded hood, in rage The fierce tiger, its poison endures in the quiet stance of its gaze. The turbulent clouds in pregnant air, a typhoon manifest A soldier takes the showering bullets into his battle chest The fearless bards, their battlesong sing in heart of the battle Their penetrating voice, the...

He stood alone in the night Running away from a lover's spat Trying to figure out what to do next Shall he return or should he just leave? His mind kept urging him to take the easy way out. Convincing him that leaving is the best for him right now He is getting the courage to finally run from this relationship He folds his sleeves up, as if to...

A parting kiss upon the cheek Divides reality from the dream. Each laugh and smile I'll quietly keep So sweetly in my mind, this week - Or longer, no? But it doth seem Less joyful memories must be quelled: A taxi door forlornly held. More acrostic love-drivel, sorry. Took me ages to get the last three lines because I originally had "...forlornly...

If you think your vacant words are stagnant on the go your thoughts may become self aware A tainted Sun shall grow. You're yet to know the power you hold with your untapped thoughts The thoughts may hit with unending force with sevenfold battles fought. That does not mean you are weak there is much untapped power inside A black hole may even...

We suffer together - Some more, some less And the less console Themselves with how They aren't the more. We have aids and We are blind and We rot in gutters. Would it be rude If I prayed for us? I remember myself When I see you there And I wonder if We can make it to An elegant solution. Like a beautiful song Plays on human breath By means of a...

Are her eyes so ocean-deep? Do they sear into my soul, Each time I dare to fix my gaze? Should I feel such soft, sweet lips, On mine, and should I hear the words I Long for but she never says? Am I but the blinded sheep, Acheing on one fleeting touch, Denying truth I can't conceive? Ever but the silly fool: Silence meets my every try In which my...

Would I chase a dream as far as Mars? - Too easy! Do you want to make a bet? Have you seen my footprints on the moon? - 'Twas as a stroll around a country park. You'll find me reaching for a burning star: - A doddle that; it's only slightly hot. Now and then I wrestle polar bears: - The poor dears need a cuddle and a pet. On Saturdays I swim...
