ONE PEOPLE ONE PAIN

Indeed there is much for tears to fall,
Rivulets of salty droplets englobing violence
Witnessed by eyes that would wish to cleanse
Themselves from visions of misery, deplorable

Calvary of heinous conflicts, impuissant, words
Wit and wisdom are unable to … CONTINUE READING »

COME BACK TO ME

I search for you everywhere, expect
To find you in my bed when I awake, opening
Eyes to the glowing brightness of the day,
Stretching my arms, body contortions, yawning
Under the warmth of enveloping white sheets
Scented by the … CONTINUE READING »

LET THERE BE LIGHT

Mesmerised by blindness, I see it everywhere.
It does not like to be seen and chases me
Torments me and stabs me with silvery blades,
They glint as I bleed

Emerald sorrow for benighted living beings,
Blind to graceful blessings … CONTINUE READING »

You created flapping fins
Afore my eyes shiny globules

Entrancing silvery reflections
Of that distant … CONTINUE READING »

PLAYFUL SOULS

Enthused dilated pupils are blind, vision
Fogged by mist wittily diffused by the mind,
Its conniving whispers and tricky desires.

Senses accomplice claim reality in their dominion
They solely perceive what they long … CONTINUE READING »

Infected Mangrove

In the glimmering solace my essence offers
Blindly and though, all decant my lymph and … CONTINUE READING »
