The lives we cross unknowing
The green-grass paths they wayfare,
Fables of fays and fiends unspoken
Truths belonging to entities of matter,
Flesh bones a body, rhythmed by breath
A heartbeat, pumps red juices carrying
Cleansing oxygen through tireless veins… CONTINUE READING »
Missing Hawking
You were born in the mist
Of a worldwide bloody war,
Shielded in the town of Oxford
No one would have known,
Who came to light
On a random winter’s day,
And would have studied darkness
To humanity’s bewilderment
And … CONTINUE READING »
Penn Station
Escaping memories I ran
To the setting of beginnings
In search of new encounters
A rescuer, an owner, a gentle
Word. Penn station had evolved
In years with my emotions,
Beguiling decadence lost
To opulence decay.
Pink granite covered in … CONTINUE READING »
On occasions I recall
Your crooked smile the flower behind
Dumbo ears reflections of light
onto the boldness of your distinctive
gargantuan head, baby looks
one wouldn’t expect, from an imposing
gentle giant like yourself.
Your invitation to stay when everyone
leaves, closing hour, … CONTINUE READING »
Rather than nothing
Why something rather than nothing,
millenary questions mankind dwell
upon whilst witnessing existence
of surroundings, mesmerising
phenomena. Enthralling vibrations

ceaselessly reflourishing in … CONTINUE READING »

Unfold the map of the world and trace
a kaleidoscopic boot-shaped country
rising from the waters lavished by Atlantic
in a multicultural basin at the heart
of a flat globe. The Mediterranean birthed
by the Zanclean deluge, witness of myriad… CONTINUE READING »
A revolution
They tell me in man
lies the source of evils
as weakness surrenders
to ineluctable lures.
That he pursues aims
of personal interest
out of egocentric greed
prompting justice, inequity.
That he turns blind eyes
to the sufferings of others… CONTINUE READING »
Happy Holi
I saw colours on people’s faces
chewed on the entheogenic leaf,
flew me straight across the vastness
over mountain chains peaks and cliffs,
shattered cities rivers of wilderness
murdered innocents jungles,
dictatorships steppes nomads
and deserts to the cradle
of … CONTINUE READING »
Mothers to adore
Countries fabricated
by roaming people drawing
borders behind them,
trails of hostility
to select those who would cross
rims after them, to keep
resources to themselves,
lands of prosperity
on which to build, greed
homes to shield,
newly engendered families… CONTINUE READING »
As none
Why is it so arduous
for us to believe we are
beguilingly startling
creatures as none?
Whilst we look at others
we call animals and remain,
befuddled by the perfection
of a nature we reclaim,
temporary beings
roaming freely a … CONTINUE READING »
