Tell me why, daddy
why do you hit mommy in front of me?
what wrong has she done to you?
don't you love her anymore?

I can't sleep
you are always shouting
mummy is always crying
none of us is happy anymore

when both of you quarrel
you turn my life upside down
i am scared
but its like you forget to care

I miss the hugs and kisses
that both of you used to give at night
the bedtime stories before I sleep
the safe feeling I had when you are there

heavenly pixels
lay your slender screen
alive with diffused vulgarity
softened like a breath upon
the magic mirror

like soot from the coal fires
of an ancient era
when piston driven wheels
spoke night shifts
and wayfreights
hatboxes and trunks
on laden carts

arise sweet forgetfulness
wakened from the slumber
of the dead
like narcotic flowers
perfumed from seedmonies

She woefully knelt
to garner her tears;
words of pain fell
to tell her fears-
but betrayed,
only silence
peaked
to speak.

The emptiness
of my loss
is reducing me
to nothing,
I am sliding
into the arms
of the chasm,
my days
grow shadows,
as the mind
ever weakens
the light of sight
is slowly
being devoured.

Coldness
has gripped
at the center of me,
the fire fails
to warm
the sun refuses
to shine,
flames that once
lit my soul
are now gathered
in the corners
consumed to ash

my moments of clarity
are fading...

l had a familiar shadow
surprise me with such a grace,
that I beamed out-loud in silence with a grin;

I owned that fragile moment
that Time cannot erase,
and was dealt a sort of comfort from within.

'Twas good to see your smile again,
'twas good to hear your laugh,
l deemed it so, and said so after all;

then, l calmed my racing thoughts
(and cut confusion down to half),
eliminating my propensity to fall.

Liar!
I call you a liar!

You claim to love yourself
hoping to live a long life
but you hold in your hand
a lighted cigarette
poisoning your body,
polluting the air that you breathe
contradicting your own words
as you surrender to addiction

What words suffice to gauge the worth
of she who labored overlong
to bring about your earthly birth
and start the singing of your song

ups and downs were always there
but time heals wounds that change a soul
and with the graying of her hair
came understanding and control

lines of wisdom aged her face
but inner beauty made her shine
her strength was never commonplace
and through the years it aided mine

I happened upon an oak tree,
And an autumn breeze.
A friendship of wind and tree.
The breeze shakes the branches,
The leaves giving color to the wind.
Soulmate's these
Working in nature.
Oak tree, yellow and orange
Autumn breeze, cool and swift
Leafs rain from the heavens
Daylight peeking through.
As winter came to the valley
It froze the air.
The breeze became bitter,
The leaves turned brown
Winter tested their bond.
The oak tree became bare,
The autumn breeze blew away

Unrequited love
Something to do
my unrequited love

the desire to unite once again,
to fill an empty space

love falls down a flowery lane
hope you will pick up the lost strains
of petals strewn
and come again
my Valentine
will you

Splurge
dirty jack up
cranked the telly!

(what a racket)

hot ,sleazy summer
street
sun sharp chrome
tight denim treats
bright neon flips
and dirty ..
heeled..
feet
