Delicous SoupEverything one says,
everything one writes
is a declaration of who
one is. I put as much
effort into my comments
as I do into my poetry --
they also transverse the
electron world. Missed
opportunity – Main-course
or a quick warmer-upper,
Soup is precious to my
table of wholesome Etiquette
and expression.

REMORSING OF DEVILREMORSING OF DEVIL
False promises and fancy talks,
You are narcissist and not God.
Fools try to make other fools,
Believing that they seem cool.
Dawn to dusk mind has a fight,
Perplex life and has no light.
Empty hands and filled eyes.
Dead man moving here and there,
Justice of cosmos is very rare.
Hurting heart and breaking belief,
yeah!!! you...

Life, Death, Pianoa man, aging yet still of play
for he, a piano plays he
and piano plays he well
but die does our aging man
for he, dead, yet playing on
and piano plays beyond
as born is a child born
for he, a piano plays he
and how plays our child well
a gift, piano, barely learned
but known in this child
as once known in...

In WaitingIt would be so nice to feel the warmth of your lips
Before you come to take me away from here
It hurts to admit, that the problem is
That you’ve left me too soon, my dearest dear
I’m not saying the spiritual world is all fictional
That its only subliminal thoughts and desires
People’s sensual visions appear to reveal
That...

Her Scars Tell a Story
Admist the twilight, she dares to creep,
Her scars tell silent stories, buried deep,
Each line, a testament, a thread of her past,
Woven with resilience, they hold her steadfast.
They’re not marks of weakness, but pathways of grace,
A roadmap of heartaches, each curve has its place,
In the magnificence...

Only HumanAs it becomes dawn, the sun brings rays of gold,
We wander through moments, both timid and bold.
Mistakes, like leaves, fall softly from trees,
A whisper of lessons carried on the breeze.
No shame in stumbles, no guilt in the fall,
Each misstep a heartbeat, a lesson for all....

red, orange, yellow, pink, white, purple and even brown or black.
The large, cup-shaped flowers bloom in late March through May.

Tulips are classic flowers loved by many for centuries and are
a classic symbol of love...

Lost in the HustleClock in, clock out
Wake, commute, work, sleep, repeat
They say I'm making a living
But where in this equation am I alive?
Traded my sunrise for spreadsheets
My sunset for status reports
My laughter for leader boards
My dreams for direct deposits
We're all running on this hamster wheel
Spinning faster just to stay in place
"Success" measured in square footage
And vacation days we're too exhausted to take
They sold us a promise:
Work hard now, live later
But later keeps getting pushed back
Like a horizon we never reach
When did we agree
That breathing means producing?
That existing means earning?
That value equals output?
My grandmother's hands knew real work
Soil under fingernails, calluses with purpose
She worked to live
I live to work
The system whispers:
"Just one more promotion"
"Just one more year"
"Just one more sacrifice"
While life slips through fingers
Clutching paychecks
Making a living
What a curious phrase
As if living itself
Is something manufactured
Something we must earn the right to do
I want to make a life instead
Rich with moments that don't fit on resumes
Abundant with connections no algorithm can track
Wealthy with experiences no bank can hold
Because making a living
Without actually living
Is the most expensive purchase
We never meant to make.

Existence of SurvivalWake.
Commute.
Work.
Repeat.
They call this living?
I call it the hamster wheel—
spinning faster each year
while the cage only shrinks.
Three jobs to afford one roof.
Two hours of daylight between shifts.
One life slipping through fingers
calloused from climbing ladders
that only lead to more ladders.
We've normalized exhaustion,
wear our burnout like medals of honor.
"Busy" is our battle cry.
Our worth measured in productivity units,
our...

It's Not Too Late
No, it's not too late;
It's n e v e r too late
to make your wrongs right,
to chase after dreams,
to a p o l o g i z e.
It's not too late
to fall in love,
to tell someone
your true feelings...
or to try
again, as
long as you
have breath
within...
you.

Be Gentle With Yourself
be
gentle
with yourself
like fragile glass.
you're only human,
imperfectly perfect,
we're all a little broken.
it's no use dwelling in the past;
abandon regrets and mistakes there.
whenever you fall down, you'll rise back up.
no matter how i n f i n i t e s i m a l,
anything troubling will come to pass,...

The Wallflower WithinBlooming flower in Spring's light,
Petals blooming without fright.
Wandering breezes yet to grow,
Still moving ever slow.
Sunshine touching the skin,
Light finding the areas within.
Sweet fragrance of Morning's dew,
How can I ever forget the scent of you?
Your thorny Rose draws blood,
An emotional sky lets loose a flood.
Tears from the clouds to help you grow,
Your roots hushing the rivers...
