A Space for Reflections and Musings
Photo by Lucian Petronel Potlog from Pexels Relinquish your fears and come by my side,Kiss me on the lips and feel my skin;We live our lives wild in the danger café. In the dark house of splendid isolationWere born the raconteurs of the hour,Telling stories of frothy beachesAnd trekking in the snow-capped hills;By the fire of the kitchen... Continue Reading →
Where I'm from, birds never sing goodbye,Deserted streets adorned by springtime hueWait for our once mirthful spirits to pass by. Ignored all facts and believed their lies,Sacrifices adorned the morning like winter dew;Where I'm from, birds never sing goodbye. Brave were they, who chose to fight and tryAgainst the storm that raged incessant and now... Continue Reading →
Run.Run while you are still unmarkedBy the black cloud that huntsFor your flesh, the storm that devoursSelectively. You're not safe.Today the arrow points at them,Tomorrow your embers will bear witnessTo ashen trepidation's mane;Escape.Leave everything behind.Nothing is yours. Nothing is ours.Indelible or not, it will erode,Every sign of our life, all will beUnmarked.

Photo by Alex Smith from Pexels Preserve me, restore me, remember me.I was a warrior of old, forgottenThrough the passing of an age,Not even an epitaph on my grave.Light dapples its way to my home,An earthly mound sheathed by bladesOf green, by the passing breeze waveTo folks, I am obscured;Like pebbles on a river bedUnseen, unheard of, yet...

Usurper of gullible eyes,Bearing a pocket full of lies,Comes around at noon, stays overTill the moon, flirts with soulsBuys and sells them like flies,Brandishes contracts out of thin air.Oligarch of garlanded thieves,Filters words through a sieve,Actions muted by a moot campaignSends fools on a marshy lane,Sends them scampering for gold,Archives their souls within a mould.Angel...

Photo by Oleg Magni from Pexels Munching on a sandwich;You had said you would come for meHad sworn on an apostrophe,Belled the cat and drove awayLeft a trail in my wake,Mind at ease, I counted a stitch. Iterative calls and biting nailsI admired a view, hardly a trail,Stationery, waiting for my Holy Grail,First mistake: vials knocked overIn haste,... Continue Reading →
Comes closer by the passing of days,Slinking around the corners of our sight,Often recedes into mist and hazeNever recedes within fear's permit. Another idiot compromised, another life spent,Ignorant of the ticking clock, spread wideAmidst Distraction's toys, ignorant of the subject matterHe drawls toward the inconclusive,He steers into a chaotic norm,His speech deceives his own conscience,He...

Spades of green and contented eyes, Beaming faces and vividly coloured jars Do rule the life of a certain man. A dip and a slap of a seraphim Upon the leaves: the canvas for his art; A callous joke and a profound remark, Thrown about in life’s sordid angst, Swirls around along with wisps... Continue Reading →
You! I challenge you to your wits! If not your wits, then I challenge your speech, And if you will not speak, I won’t too; For I shall challenge your silence instead, Watch you bequeath your glory to me And rise: a better spectre of myself. I swindle and I speak with flatulence, Unwavering avarice... Continue Reading →
