Poetica

Authored: November 22, 2019 These quiet nights I writeFictions of a reality I could have hadNow….so much time has passedI forget what human touch is likeTo feel your flesh against my fingersA haunt of jackalsClearly, I am possessed by dreams of things I cannot have.A moment, a time, a thoughtI just….wanted to be…your everything.

Authored: November 22, 2019 Something beautiful transpired at the end of our timeUnder the deathly hollows of world mourningA couple dance to the winds that howl a cryThey looked into each other’s eyesAfter all the atom bombs were droppedAfter all the fires and the destructionAsh falls from the red skiesEven the stars vanished under plumes…

Authored: November 10, 2019 An Immense Battle rages within meI have to believe in KarmaI always tried my bestIn God. In Faith. Others didn’t.I looked to the skiesTurned away with blackened skiesI’m a stranger on this worldYou’re all strangers with me on this worldSorry to worry youBut All that you know is wrongAnd there’s just…

Authored: November 6, 2019 All these games we playThe innuendo, the stroking of egosThe gossiping lips and looks of askanceThe petty revenge, the hurt of betrayalThey are not borne of LoveSeeking the drama of a reality different to yoursThe pain they feel makes you judge them.When we are not competing against each otherWe see each…

Authored: November 5, 2019 We wanted to danceUnder skies painted sublime huesWe traced paths concentric patternsTo the edges of our heartsLooked into the wisdom of twirling Sufis.Cadence virtues and valour aboundIn ancient empires our pages fillConsensual worlds igniteDelirium tremensThe stars roam the skyAs we plunder this world.A cavalcade adornsBroken hearts collideA frenzy unspoken, we hearWe…

Authored: October 29, 2019 I wanted to feelHere, at the end point of it allI wanted to seeWith eyes wide openOcculent prisms alight from eyes worn with timeSomewhere my words left meWordlessly mired in transposed shifting sandsI sat by you silentlyAs we watched waves break upon weathered rockI dared not touch youI so wanted to.Under…

Authored: October 25, 2019 It washes over youIt cleanses. It provides. It is needed for life on this planet.What is it?It harbours life. It is life giving and life taking.It is refreshing and it rains down on you.At arc light, I sat alone. The sun had done its dance across the sky and now darkness…

Authored: October 10, 2019 Her name on my lips taste of a coconut, sweet chocolateThat melts my dreams with the rocks of the sand beach.Whenever I reach her name I cross the shadows to the sun,To fly to the raindrops that fall around the cornerOf her clear water eyes.Her name has echoes that floated on…

Authored: October 2, 2019 The winds of solitude knock my doorI welcome the visitor to stay with my soulNaked under the covers till cheeks get numbI embrace the cold and the storm to comeSeek for a remedy in the shrilling soundEvery step I take barefoot makes me more profoundI have control but would like to…

Authored: September 29, 2019 A gentle blow of air in the dark of nightMakes me feel and brings me back to lifeI walk barefoot on the cold floorStanding at the entrance I gaze outsideEmpty silent roads and occasional wave of leavesThe only witness of such stillness is this lonely biengPeace sinking in so deep where…
