I stare out from my window On a drenched summer morning, I press my face into the glass To smell the rain through it And feel the cold, tiny drops. But my breath hinders my sight A misty wall across my eyes I raise a finger and draw a face I draw a mountain and... Continue Reading →
Conscience Laments
You drink all you want and dance all night long, You sway by the vile intoxication through you, You burn your hours of toil in so-said holy hour, You pray to the Lord and pray for more, and mercy, Yet you round up in holes dug by yourself or so-said you? For I... Continue Reading →
The Jailer’s Song
Come, fellow traveller sleep, Tuck under blanket tight, And be at peace within My deceit, this trick, Play-pen, my den As you please, Call it. My Rusty Ol' Cage Cold Isn't it? A sheet, old Friend? To eclipse The plight from your Paranoid mind; So you May sleep in tranquil and I play the... Continue Reading →
Of Strangers’ Counsel
Walking along a crowded lane Rubin spoke of a song old Lost in the babble of pain Found in solitude; 'twas gold Most precious to him away From the drone of strangers, Who whispered through hay Impelled his mind into a fray Divided into multiple straws And peering eyes past shades Of white and gold...

Blithe Flight
Engulfed in flames, cold within, A million miles above land And icy winds gushing by Yet so calm; fearless or Insouciant of the plight, the flight? Smile upon the face, alit Like celebration day, no line Of worry, of fear, of thought, Only jubilation and zest Of icy winds gushing by.
Of An Insomniac Town
Two lamps at the window, Two men spake their woe, Two hours to heart's content To avert an impending dent. One in spirits lay low Another assuaged his woe, One solution to sorrow at hand To lift the spirits of the land. "Five to midnight", mother said, To bed, scurry off to bed; Obedience is...

Somniferous Rambling
Somniferous; Eyes stared at me, Like an apparition facing In the mirror, almond-like, A breath encasing the scene Like smoke, confusing, confounding, A mistique stare- cold and white. I freeze in a breeze sharp, it was so real Like the walk in lost wonderlands, Rides appalling, will I ever come down? It was so... Continue Reading →
Martyr
Outstanding ovation awaits Our days bygone Brilliant landscapes traversed My boots are worn Decrepit lands encompassed Foes vanquished Jubiliant beads of sweat Cold joy; triumphant Trumpets' accolades showered To gracious coffins Tears in woe, tears in joy Wreath reverent Guns facing heavens, shiver Shots and drumrolls; Yonder sun set, scarlet Nightfall.
Of Clouds and Rain
Mighty roars and virulent thunders, Restless they patrol the heavens, Like men who linger to inspect, They let the minuscule drops drop by. Only a trifle matter to misty guards Of the fabled gates of heaven, Dictates mankind though, as he feels Beloved tears of those passed us by. Summer’s woes appeased in... Continue Reading →
Trial – V
"Thou disgust me, sire," - Finally spake the judge, His eyes raging with fire, Yet the face concealed grudge. I cast a glance across, delirious, As 'Ye Hono'' chose his words; "I beg thee pardon, Though shamed I be Curious am I, why, pray Tell me, You harbour such monstrosity? When all I... Continue Reading →
