Calling of HomeFocusing on my self; no other
filtered out all negative feelings
cut ties with deceptive dealings
home is calling so don't bother
Feeling things that make no sense
a little of revenge, guilt, anger, fuss
a lot of love, faith, truth, and trust
Thinking of things conjuring defense
Eliminate thoughts of all others
took for granted with misjudgment
challenging my truth with argument
now stuck in...

Be the change you want to see
I have my shelter from the elements
my haven away from world madness
my well of peace and harmony
where it’s safe and i feel free
within its confines
but really … is it more of a hideout where
I ignore the call within to insurrection
to rise against injustice or at least
to come to the aid of its victims
instead...

Where Is Home?Our hearts romanticize the vagabond.
To walk away from all that brings you down.
It’s true we’re free to get up and be gone.
In search of new horizons to be found.
Always snipping at the ties that bind us
And doing all you would just as you may.
Worries can all just be left behind us.
‘Cause in the morn we...

Home

Some say home is where the heart is
Some say it's wherever your hat is laid
I say home is that special place
Wherever you find your way
It might be where you...

Bring Him Home
The silence stretches, a taut wire across borders, across oceans of unspoken dread.
A name whispered in the dry heat, a face etched on worn photographs, a promise hanging heavy in the air.
They speak of strategy, of interests, of the intricate dance of power, but I see only an empty chair.
The news flickers, a kaleidoscope of...

Nursing Home Day Room Stories
Lillian’s Echo
Lillian sat in the dayroom’s dim embrace—a survivor etched in time. The air clung to stories, whispered secrets, and the lingering scent of suffering. She, the one-character legend, spun her tales—prose blabber, raw and unfiltered.
Born into the system’s cold arms, Lillian emerged onto Brooklyn’s unforgiving streets as an adult. There, she tasted the bitter...

Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea“Where the Suburbs Meet the Sea”
I walked again where I began,
past fences worn, where gum trees ran—
but now the tide had kissed the land,
and waves rolled in like time unplanned.
The house was there, but changed in tone,
a quiet shell, yet not alone.
The breeze...

Good afternoon
I'm back to where my fortune began
the fortune I betrayed by moving away
not for any reason that I momentarily
thought I could find an easier life
a place of clean underwear and breakfast
A place where I could sleep to nine
that had a café on the first floor and peopled
by sure people,...

LEAD THEM BACK HOME
May we be blessed that wherever our children’s feet take them in life
wherever they happen to roam…
those same feet that lead them away from us…
will also lead them back home.....

Our HomeI’m a digital copy and so are you
We are digital implementations
Into the world of alternative view
Sharing our endless vacations
Once we appeared there, so we remain
Still I can hear your voice
We are the spirit that flies on again
Over the land of our choice
Digital world seems a rescue for us
We can’t be exiled from this...

daddy died alone in his homedaddy died alone in his home
ashtrays with cigarette butts completely hoarded his deathbed
the smell of smoke almost immediately made my eyes turn red
i regret the 15 years since i last saw him
however i choose not to trip
daddy died alone in his home
i have a quiet conversation with him in the wee hours of the morning

DOSADish of Indian make.
Dear to all Keralite.
Dry rice and dal well soaked,
Drained and ground to fine paste,
Dough flattened and roasted,
Delicious with chutney.
Delectable to all.

Home to RoostI wrote about my timer,
Which is permanently stuck
And, after many years, at last
Emitted its last cluck.
That was two days ago; today
A package came for me.
I hadn’t ordered anything
And thought, “What could it be?”
A brand-new chicken timer
With a message from my son:
“I hope this works – it looks just like
Your now non-ticking one.”
I laughed out loud...
