Secrets of the DarkThe woman who sat on a bench
in the twilight garden told me to wait a little while,
The woman who could see
the dark times told me to be patient,
Soon the forest would reveal its...

left unsaidKnew it in moment this Wednesday
though she left last Monday
life turned, never to be the same
now my heart knows how it feels
to cherish now, what was then.
Her days carried...

To which image should we cling
Line of inquiry:
“We have been here a thousand times before
Memory erased, each time we begin anew
Of hands held tenderly, we’ve lost the score
Each embrace virgin like fresh morning dew
To which image, oh dear soul, should...

All my happy childhood memories cross my mind as shameful tears pour down my face...

They followedHe led them, and they followed
It was easy, lightly stepped
Not yet hollow, full of depth
A prophet with a promise not yet met
Of eternity, of love and affection
Yet something lies in his inflection
He speaks of grandure...

PersiaPersia, my homeland,
an ancient domain
a realm of poets' refrain
memories of love's seasons renew
Eternal springs flourish under the sun
Where women are cherished, like morning dew
Not to be tormented, but wrapped in loves warmth
In a life of...

Desperation MultipliedMy mind wanders until I pass out from exhaustion.
Ivory dreams that end in disappointment because reality is so bittersweet.
As I float along an 80 proof river my senses become dull with compassion.
Fantasy is cheap. Reality...

Cry O GhanaO child of Mother Africa
The tortoise is still on the road
Realities cannot hold, dreams dying
Hopes turn to ashes every day

Another Better World
"Another Better World"
These little sins
you smoothly skip across the waters of fairweather lives
like darkness hidden underneath deadly white lies,
like throwing pebbles casually across The Lake of Tears
that reflect rippling rings rapidly racing outwards...

Underneath The Night Sky~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a while since I saw stars at night.
All the city lights...blind the sky.
It's been a while since the moon was so bright.
Tonight, I just want to dance beneath this light.
Was the wind always...

A Poem of HopeI hope for a day where the world doesn't end,
I hope for a day where I can find peace,
I hope for a day conflict will die,
I hope for a future that I can't provide.

the mirror doesn't lieThe mirror doesn’t lie
Perhaps indents, reverses,

That which we hide
For it has no soul
No desire to know us.

Or joy

Undecided
Uninvested
It knows no loneliness
When you are...

An Overthinker's TormentThinking and thinking and thinking.
I want to stop going over the memories,
The looping record of agonising nothings.
That's the problem, you see?
It's not a problem to them.
A simple mistake,
So quickly forgiven, and yet,
It lingers like a...
