Memory (Remove filter)
: From A Fractured Time :
A moment in time did happen once.
It was there and then it was no more!
Like a fickle wind that took a chance,
To raise a head, but was gone before!
I would mull often in vacant times.
If such a moment did occur awhile!
Or was it something without rhymes,
As in the whimsies of a juvenile!
As ephemeral...

: Soliloquy :
A life had my thoughts, ephemeral and bright!
Coursing thru’ the skies, in a shimmering light.
And time reached out, in a glorious embrace;
Rushing me breathless, through empty space.
When the memories came, unbidden but true;
From the nether mind the feelings broke thru’.
Some moments to rejoice, some sharp agony.

Previous skins
Five years ago flew by
Now, already remote
The rolling of the years
They’re already afloat
Your past self
Already a ghost
When you stand still
You begin to grieve your previous skins
Wonder why you had to forget and kill
Old personalities just to multiply new
So, you cling on to specific moments
Promise not to forget, you never will
But it is not uniqu...

: The Voices In My Mind :
All those voices yet in my mind,
From the years I had left behind.
Casting echoes in that room -
Pulsing through the dusty gloom.
The floating dust catching the light,
Shivered with unknown disquiet!
The echoes gathered to surround.
They animated the space around.
People I loved, now lost with time,
Speaking thru' the years...

Canada
I remember us in the tall
of balconied condominiums over there.
I remember the seemingly rainbowy effect
drawing us towards new clothes & music for sale
in exquisite gigantesque shopping malls, the
trust we will be hearing a hello, and have a nice
day tune from shop assistants at every shop door,
where billboards above advertised albums by Beyonce,
fragrances, and films, us becoming f...

Unpacking the Life of a Poet
I didn’t always have these roots,
There were years that
My hands were kites
And anywhere I laid my head was my home.
And suitcases were not anomalous
And freedom wasn’t a forced prayer in school.
I didn't always have these roots,
There were moments that
Spread across forever
And made time stand still.
And what I could carry was always enough.
I didn't a...

1941, the 22nd of June, The Sky With the Rising Moon...
1941, the 22nd of June,
The sky with the rising moon,
At 4 in the early morning,
Without any warning,
When children peacefully slept,
Hitler the most horrible plan kept.
It was Sunday.
Today it’s the saddest day
In the history
Of my long-suffering country.
Hitler broke the non-aggression pact
And my motherland was attacked.
The Great Patriotic War had started
With a ...

Black hole
Moon eyed she goes
She is one of the stars
Lonesome she is
In the presence of Mars
Soon her reflection renews
She is a planetary part apart
Memories become brand-new
She is solo in this system
And as the lights dim
He becomes hers
She sucks us in
Until everything’s hers

What's Your Name?
What’s Your Name?
If I don’t come to say hello, please don’t take offence
It’s not because I’m being rude, it’s just because I’m dense
I’ve met you several times before but can’t recall your name
I know that we were introduced, damn my stupid brain
I’m feeling under pressure now, if you come over first
If you remember my name, that makes it even worse
I’m going throu...
