Not to be wasted

I never left you yet I am back.
A year is over another just began.

You measure time with my presence,
With the smiles I offer the hour I pass by.
You gaze out your window, sit at the bar,… CONTINUE READING »

Possessions

Though they differ in sizes
Rectangular prisms are conquering my abode.

I gaze at the piling boxes

To pay to cage my belongings.

From my viewpoint they are … CONTINUE READING »

Unwilling to undress

Inhibition never was a word, on the lines
Recounting my life as I helloed the spirits
