Fragments of a Time That Dissolves
The silence spreads like mist
over the field that no longer exists.
The earth no longer feels the footsteps,
doesn’t remember the bodies that passed through.
The wind, a distant whisper,
carries unspoken words
and stories lost before they are told.
There is a place where time gives up
on being continuous and dissolves
into fragments of light and shadow.
Nothing is whole,
everythin...

Serenity freefall
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm writing so you can see me
Type type type
My words are ripe
Without a thought or planning
An idea is hatching
Could it be good, could it be sad?
Only time will tell
If I can make it sell
Down in my basement, I type away
Day after day, I hear them say
As if I'm stone deaf
Without words, I'm dumbdead
So many profiles, f...

Trust in God And Don't Keep the Offences!
Don't trust the sweet words of a stranger
If you don't want to get into the danger.
Sweet words may raise you to the clouds,
But you better run away without doubts.
And having bitten into your trust like a snake,
He will be wrapped in a trustworthy fake.
And then right on your field of fight,
He will try to prove that he is right.
Neither the darkness no...

Flowers of Misfortune
In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.
Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,
but pain, like a poem,
is sculpted in the words of the day.
The city is a labyrinth of steps
that reflects solitude at every corner -
laughter dissolves in the wind
like falling petals,
disguised in the chaos.

Word Search
the blank page waits
for the quenching stink of ink
a scribble of unflinching words
something to mull and make it think
the filled page grits
when the savage pen comes down
to flay through failing words
lose many and put others under doubt
the final page knows
these few are survivor words
strong enough to tell the story
clever enoug...

Mouthful of Words Poem after Brian Moses
Mouthful Of Words
Poem after Brian Moses
These are the words my teacher teaches,
omnipresent, evaporating, invigilator, dichotomy,
diminuendo.
Then there are the words at home they choose
in our chatters animated to recounting the news.
There are the words that Grandma always seems
to say that I regurgitate, no matter the situation or their
denoting: bam...

Weaving Lines
In script, I chase elusive breath, emotions' subtle pleading,
Such words enfold, deceit swathed in a tender, soft misleading.
To paint the world through poet's lens, the rarest hues I borrow,
In stanzas sail, through mind's vast sea, where verses trade in sorrow.
A tinkerer of syllables, line by measured essence,
Might muse perceive a poet's form, shadowed in your presence?
We waltz beneat...
