When the Tree Comes Down
Is it just me,
Or does the room sigh when the tree comes down?
That empty corner whispers of something lost,
A glow extinguished too soon.
Regret tiptoes in—
Should I have basked more in the soft lights,
Savored the pine-sweet...

Little Raccoons
It is the first day of the year,
And I thought I saw raccoon paw prints
in my extra bedroom – on the smooth floor
I saw the prints of long animal toes.
I don’t see...

JanuaryThe morning of January never run like that,
The surprise shown is again by the God.
The winter day is spraying with rain white,
Like the girls dressed in niqab.
People is carrying to his house,
In a rush,...

TodaySo sorry to make you feeling upset
Though you said it wasn’t my fault
But the consequence from that
Is the silence that I have got
And the full moon was performing
The pantomime through the clouds
And invisible stars were...

January WindYou shift the autumn breeze, again,
you creep into the wind.
To crawl beneath my skin, again,
as winter's chill seeps in.
Your absence fills the air, again,
and wraps my world with ice.
It taunts and toys with time, again—
It...

Upon a dark and stormy nightUpon a dark and stormy night...
as jagged bolts of lightning
tore thru the the midnight clear
and figuratively ripped the sky to shreds
(analogous to jumping Jack flash),
and ear splitting thunder crackled
testing the threshold of tolerance
zombies of Sugar...

Suspended in the frosted haze —
I measure minutes, count the days
Since we were young and played like fools
My stereo spits broken tunes

The Silence Of January SnowWintry Sunday spent in bed,
rather than take Christmas lights down instead,
I'm right here, where I'm meant to be,
with you, this crossword, my next cup of tea,
a world turned cold, is left on hold,
it's futures untold,...

So Softly Spoken
“Snow brings a special quality with it—the power to stop life as you know it dead in its tracks.” - Nancy Hatch Woodward

On the mist, like heaven’s dust, blue
Skies, buried by...

New Year Old Wishesshe sits alone in her moonlit room
outcast, as if from society
a shadow mimics her moves
twigs beneath the breeze
shake like fingers
grasping
at nothingness
she hears footsteps
falling soft
yet quick
like strokes
on a keyboard
pressing on
as if echoes
in her head
resurrect old wishes

It is forenoon with showers of rain
Houses try to huddle together for warmth
The trees on the avenue are still wrapped
In light that comes on when darkness falls
At five in the afternoon...

frist of januaryMen have a new year,
But not the seagulls,
No first of January for them,
They glide in the wind,
That is enough for my happiness,
The sea is a mirror for the soul,
eternity too,
Imagine the seagulls
like to be...

A New Year, A New DayA new day
Comes every day
With a morning, a noon
An afternoon and an evening
It's day and it's night
Across the countryside.
The first day of the year
Is as special as the last
Man creates days of feast
To distinguish himself...
