No movement on the streets, none in the mind,bored exhalations and sweaty palms with no work,production lines of every day's metrics wallowingwith bodies of beehive workers collapsed in distances,not a sight nor a sign nor a sound nor a shuffle, all just restwaiting for some respite in the sweltering summer heat. Lull in the halls... Continue Reading →
Our Love, Our Fate
It takes two threads to form a knot,Takes three days to reach the hills,Four weeks to immerse in a season,A year to learn how to walk,A decade to grow with time,But mere moments to experience eternal love.

Magnolia In A Containment Zone
Look through the window, watch it swayin the April breeze; when it's still it exudesa certain sense of grace, and when it dances,hearts beat to its beats, eyes dart where it moves,breaths ease into a tune, love finds a bed to rest,and I turn to my room in a dream—desertedas the street, dust plays its...
