Full Moon Dream
In the futile triviality
of the desolate wasteland,
a sunburnt solitary tree
languished a long while,
cast nonetheless
on the parched ground
a sensuous shadow,
my secret sanctum.
A crystal path I had paved
to the realm of...

Mountebank
Highly entertaining
Charlatan; painting
Manipulating, brewed
Tasty food so others can
Swallow, digest and process.
Deals and wheels
With their golden tongue
Of sweet sugar and honey,
A thief.
A confidence trickster
In order to obtain and kidnap your mind,
Money, power, fame,
Through pretense or...

A Wife's RebellionIn a world where whispers were the currency
of women, a letter dared to roar.
Tagore, the weaver of unseen truths,
unfurled a tale with threads of fire.
Mrinal, a caged bird with a song unheard,

Simply Beyond HelpZounds!
longing for a
merciful descent into
the terminal ground
where smoky eyes
semi-watch
streams of
semi-(dis)information
exhaled from
smoking brains
on a mission
to search &
deconstruct
ticking clocks
taunt
timely bombs
lost in
purple blobs
of
orange haze
awaiting
purging deluges
sprinkled with
white bolts of
blinding hell
the raving
raven's
feathers flicker
while
flippant tentacles
grope...

Zen modea minor god
shunned by most
approaches us
seeking adulation
which we offer
because we see
God’s light in his heart
as mirrored in our own
as we concur
boundaries blur
we both disappear
then there is no one here
all that that...

Frailty~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Frail is our humanity
We put our stock
In things that rust and languish,
Things transient money bought.
We amass to our disposal
Comforts of great ease.
We seek to serve our hunger,
Satisfy our greed.
The things that last,
We toss away so...

If I Didn't Love YouIf I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t hurt as I do now.
I wouldn’t be in this hopeless situation.
I wouldn’t have to hide and keep so many secrets.
I would be able to think ten thoughts without...

Of Mice and MenI am a mouse, catatonic with fear;
just trying to stay still and silent,
to survive.
Batted about by an indifferent cat;
for him a lazy afternoon,
for me an aching lifetime.
It has no idea of the torture it inflicts;
no...

My ballet shoes
My ballet shoes have a name,
undisguised among a multitude.
They dance free all over,
without a name.
My dancing shoes are old,
great enough for the right feet
to keep on dancing.
My ballet shoes only fit my feet to be...

The BasementI continue staring at the wall.
If spiders started spilling out of that crack.
I don’t think I’d move.
My mom thinks I’m weird.
I hadn’t spoken for hours but there’s still echoes down here.
I could hear her.
Coming down...

Touched by you
Touched by the sun
warmth is around,
touched by your presence,
my heart wants to discover...
Tears slipping from my face
when you are far,
wide smiles cross my life
when you are near.
In this world of sins,
I don't need anything, but...

Fenced InWindows that aren’t real windows.
Outside is fake too.
The fence is real though, I tried.
Crayons aren’t sharp.
But maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be.
They turn the phones off at this time.
And force us outdoors.
But it’s just...
