Ariana shrugged facing Josh’s mocking clap the stringy harmonica rang acrobatically on the streetlights. He handed her a firebomb, eyes sharp as vinegar. They ran across the hot asphalt, watching the brass kite rise. Both caught in the whirlpool of the maze, they guided the trumpet, mandolin filling the air, sinking into the smokehouse. Her jacket flared,...

Apparitions behind every mottled rock. Shaded countenance surreptitious like shadows. Fractured slivers and fragments boast - On wall, ceiling and floor. Splattered drop cloth - reflective dread. Fun house of Zeus, The zigs and zags - Thundering fakes, illuminated lies. She claws her face. Crags of wilderness. Deep etched drama. Whirlwind’s not glue. One face. One mirror. Truth ...

Once there was a log Floating downstream On a swift-flowing river Towards a sawmill. And, on that log, Perched on a loose patch of bark, Behind a broken limb, There was an ant. The ant didn’t know about the sawmill. He did not hear the rushing water. He couldn’t tell the size of the log, Or perceive the danger he was in. On that piece of bark,...

When words spring from lips in motion, what they say “in the first place” is often lost in translation, a soothing lotion, misunderstood… for ears may hear, but seldom truly listen. Amid the confusion of lost libretti spoken with a voice so clear, yet, passage of thought becomes murmurs, and misperception triggers truth to veer. William James, The Father of American Psychology, reflects, his voice calm...

I have met you in my mind, You have been a reflection of my desire. I have worshipped you in my favourite mirror, You have been a quiet echo in others’ eyes. I never judged you inside the canvas, Never found you in my head, Never placed you on the stage, Never let you out of my heart. So many people to see, So...

a whisper of loss a phantom lace a ghostly touch fingers close, cold to taste lingers laughter cracked bone-dry air the clock chimes midnight it is backward here in this abyss of my mind seconds falling on stone on the graves of yesterday hear the echoes, love, disdain in the vacant halls in the dark falls a broken prayer on lips of ash moonlights a skeletal...

New cracks in old stone Just beginning to show, Reveals things never shown Things only one could know Just beginning to show A solid surface scrambles, Things only one could know Shedding into shambles A solid surface scrambles Every chisel brings a change, Shedding into shambles In time, it must arrange Every chisel brings a change Upon hard - headed rock, In time, it must arrange For none can...

People say that you can’t tell the difference of a scream of joy from a scream of pain. A scream of pain is a scream of anger Guttural, loud, violent , Gunfire that is ricocheting Through your mind, body, soul. A scream of joy is a breath of fresh air, A sense of calm that is washed over you. While...

Within the skull, a labyrinth unfolds, Chambers of the mind where story molds. One room, a sunlit gallery of days, Where laughter echoes in a golden haze. Another, shadowed, holds the weight of years, Regrets like portraits blurred by silent tears. A library vast with volumes yet unread, Ideas like whispers softly overhead. A workshop hums where concepts take their form, From fleeting notions...
