love they say
Love, they say  When I was fifty-two, I fell in love and that was hard; I lost my sanity for the sake of love I had been married twice before I met my  undoing, learned the rope of living a pretense of love when the only thing of interest was sex I was never a family man, leaving me, the women did...

A Muggy Day in Assam
The air is heavy— like a warm, wet blanket wrapped around everything. The sun? Hiding behind a cloud, like it doesn’t want to deal with the day. The Brahmaputra flows— slow, wide, calm. It mirrors the dull sky, grey and tired like it skipped breakfast. The trees don’t move. Not even a whisper of wind. Just leaves, soaked with sweat, hanging there like they’ve given up. The cicadas...

The Tree
Some see your for your beauty But I only see the pain No one at all can see inside Life travels on just like a train So strong you are, so full of life But there's something they can't know Deep inside the roots, a ghost through each season darkness grows A face so unforgiving guilt builds just like a trap It sucks you in,...

Vulnerability Comes In The Form Of A Hospital Gown
The security guard at the hospital admired my taste in clothing. I'm certain I reminded him of himself when he was younger. Now, he was an old man with a wife and children. I never got around to telling him, but I wished we could've switched lives. He could keep my clothes, and I could experience...

Premium Member At Least One Giant Ground Sloth Is Alive Again
I found it curled in the shadow of what used to be a hospital. A slow hunch of fur, the color of old bark—like the forest had tried to grow itself a question. It didn’t look surprised to see me. Just blinked, as if measuring whether I was worth the glance. I sat cross-legged beside it, tore foil from a protein bar— offered the whole...

I Wear You Well
You modulate my spine, like a clustered 7th chord— composing calm in my created chaos— every doubt becomes resonance, every pain an ivory key:exact— innovative, magic, mad. I wear your genius like a second skin— daring the dissonance to die within… you are my mask… and I found that in the score we orchestrated I wear you well....

Memento On The Moon
I’d leave a small cigar box, cracked, showing faint splinters, buried where no one can touch it or twist it. Inside: a music amp shaped like my ribcage, wound with the ache of fifteen years spent trying to be softer than the world allowed. A torn page from a notebook no one read, scribbled with dreams I wasn’t brave enough to...

Medieval times A time of splendour With gallant Knights Ladies so slender Jousting tournaments The ladies all squeal Exploding of hoofs The clash of steel Enter the Black Knight To a round of jeers The White Knight enters To resounding cheers First pass no foul They try it once more The Knight in White Slumps to the floor They carry him off And tend to his wounds A Blue Knight appears The ladies all...
