What a turn of fate!
While waiting
For a taxi
By a roadside
A young and
An energetic lad
Came and
Without courtesy
Pushed me aside
To take a ride
Hopping on
A minibus taxi,
Only for one
Occupant
A place had.
Before ebbs out
My vexation
Another taxi
Drew my attention.
I hopped in
Condemning a grave sin
The lad's action--
"Where is
his sense
of decorum,
Preached on
Religious and

Butterflies -- 07/2015
What is this?
A flip. A flop.
A rustle of the feathers
Its all bringing back memories
Better times
Better places
Oh, but look at that face!
Heart beating faster
Pitter. Patter.
Quick! Look away!
Don't catch that gaze
It's written all over your face
Play it cool
Don't be a fool
Raise that gate
Shh! Wait....
What is that knocking....
It's fate.

Nova
Plasma screen; well kept, clean
Silenced screams
And faces pleased
Artificial combustion
Will as strong as a Russian
Why how is it fantastic?

Flee the magnifying mirror
Unfold the killer
Be who you are
The fault in our stars
It is merely a myth you see
Thou shall reveal the not so mysterious myster...

Fate’s handwriting
Found a crushed paper
Beneath a lovely old book
Like one dropped by blues
Had an enigmatic look
Against questions unfathomable;
Thousand answers it opined
Penned was my name
‘Twas stamped as “DESTINED”!!
I felt a connect,
And flipped a corner,
Bold chevron lines read,
“Seed and then garner”
Ink fluttered to allude
Loud and clear message;

Fearful and Trembling
I slide down a rope
into the empty chasm
which is your cold heart.
I light a fire
in the depths of your despair.
You hate me anyway.
It rains.
An ocean is born;
it swallows me whole.
Darkness engulfs me.
Surrounded by other misguided souls.
I feel their cages;
I discover mine.
