Fever painted me all over the body / with its warm kisses of love / for a duration unknown / / Taking everything aside of my own being / it was a marvelous feel / to be cocooned into the grip / of this thin frenzy from head to toes / it was immensely ecstatic to / feel the passionate warmth over the skin… sign in to read more »
"this is not for you". Truant has always been unreliable! / / this is for the ones who taught their tongues to swirl questions / around their mouths on nights that they couldn't ask / the ones who threw stones into waters but weren't excited by the pattern of their ripples- / so they hit their heads on… sign in to read more »

Underground spillover of sickness / and the stench of death... / men, women and children confined / and condemned, condemned to suffer / even after the hour glass has ran out / of time, there is an un-natural coldness / down the long and winding dark halls / you can still hear their screams / reverberating… sign in to read more »

Tick tock goes the clock or does it now / could just be an illusion in a world of / confusion in a man-made world built / on lies don't you just wish you could / disappear through a door somewhere / to another world where everything / makes sense and there's never no / more sorrow to make you wanna cry… sign in to read more »
Well and does she have some kind of unfinished business / Here and What is she looking for? What makes her weep? / And weep?

In the shadow of moonlight / My cape pulled up around / Me tight, standing at the crossroads / Under the tree of life, eyes like fire / In the night... / I call upon the spirit of HEKATE / As thunder rolls and lightning strikes / She rises up from out of the underworld / Like a phoenix out of the flames and… sign in to read more »

Hollywood Angel, Somewhere over the rainbow / And on down that yellow brick road through / The years and stage to stage well That's Entertainment / Still going strong, although she's been gone for / So long her spirit still lives on... / Like a journey to a star, maybe once, maybe twice / MGM favorites… sign in to read more »
The air looks like that song that stays on your fingers and makes hearts smile / Your favourite song tastes like a medley of ice-creamcream, pop-corn and marshmallows all dipped in rich darks chocolate / Food sounds like the orchestra of toes in socks strutting their way on wooden floors / Each breath… sign in to read more »
What is love - pray do tell, / I seek it dearly, but what do I know? / The vision's set, the road's mapped out, / But where do I start, where do I go? / Why do I dare? Why do I care? / Do I care? Oh, surely I must... / Why do I stand? Why here did I land? / Where is the reason, what answer do I trust? / I'm… sign in to read more »
The years have past like sand in the wind, / Fluttering alone through the dessert of time. / As the rush of life slows ever down, / And recedes to rust and grime. / / The chances that came, like fateful gifts, / Lie littered among the broken dreams, / Wishes and desires that glittered like gold, / Lay… sign in to read more »
The waves of that night / Were wilder than could be / There was no safe or sound place in sight / And the vessels bobbed like corks upon the sea. / / The churning of the mailstrom with mouth open wide / Pulled me violently nearer with each twist / Deeper still sank i, struggling against the tide,… sign in to read more »

I sit alone. My legs over the precipice. / Cap de Creus. / There's a piano playing blues somewhere. / Sirenas cries, / wipes the tears from my eyes. / Aphrodite sings, / half in, half out of the moonwater. / What song! What liberty! / My youth gone. / / The wild heather burns, / the pine is charcoal and… sign in to read more »
He holds his bat with all his might, / The bowlers bowl with full of fright. / He is the man, he is the king, / He smashes every ball out of the ring. / / Once he entered the pitch by chance, / And changed the game in a single glance. / He is the man depended on hard times, / For he is the king of all the… sign in to read more »
Our love was not other than this: / A shared gaze from afar / A slight smile lost in the heat of a blush / and the quickening of our hearts. / An unexplained connection... / / Our love was not other than this: / A hazy sense of nostalgia / unabated by the passing of time. / Silently it has crept / hidden and… sign in to read more »
I pull open the cover, / a trap door to the deck. / "Weigh the anchor!" / and with a splash the adventure begins. / / "Trim your sails!" / and the curtain flaps behind me. / The bow of Old Salt splits the waves / and I wipe the spray from my glasses. / / There's mutiny aboard the ship. / With cutlasses drawn… sign in to read more »
Born with it / Make us of it, or don't / it always stays with you / through ups and downs / or self denial or deceit. / Can't you understand, / you are born with it / Already in your blood / Waiting in anticipation / for you to move as one with it / Who cares what the world might say / Or what anyone says / As… sign in to read more »

It creeps through the mud / Low slinking stalking beast / Coiling hind legs power flood / With teeth it claims life leased / / The green eyed predator / Silky moves like its fur / The garden's terror / Sleeps with a purr / / Claws dig in skin as it dreams / Of its day of quiet hunting / A mouse chittering… sign in to read more »
Everything comes up to my mind like dirt / remembering lies against my will, / I fold myself in to glooming heat / my hipped interest of negligence. / / My integrity falls down / disolving again to your hips, / breaking up and shattering down / like a knag in the thraot. / / Those mindless thoughts inside… sign in to read more »

I'm riding the cloud of bright blanket dreams, / The coconut smoke entwines with the mist, / The potion of madness in violet streams / Is carving the urge that I cannot resist. / / The mysteries find me still lying in bed, / Enjoying the pleasures of drunken grapefruit. / Just several gulps, and a room… sign in to read more »
Their hands are clasped, / Smiling - for the gift of time / Has been granted to them. / She is dressed in a snow white sari, / He in an equally hued kurtha. / Into the temple they gingerly enter / And their daily obeisance / To The Lord offer. / They emerge - still holding hands, / Smiling, greeting, just… sign in to read more »
A razor-sharp sliver of ray slits the dark and leaden sky, / Unzips it slowly and deliberately to reveal a hue of orange and red, / A fish eagle calls soulfully, mournfully, echoing in his head, / The screen enlarges, brightens, figures are born, change and die. / The dark sky swallows itself, spews out… sign in to read more »
New eyes flicker open / Good Morning / Yesterday's eyes forgotten / Prayers said just mechanically / He steps out of himself like a shadowy soul / Duplicity / His eyes dart about wickedly / Slits narrow menacingly knowingly cold / Today he shall not be meek but bold / The halo spins and twirls to remind him… sign in to read more »
Just before dawn on a lonely shore, / I trudge the sands walked by many before, / The water entices me with her cool glaze, / And I find myself swept back by her - in a daze. / I look around me and all I see is ocean and gloom, / Oh! An overwhelming sense of loss and impending doom. / The darkness… sign in to read more »
Is it really so far that I cannot touch it / Is it really such a mystery that I cannot solve it / Is it really so beautiful that I want it / Is it really such a rarity that I may not get it / Is it really so sacred that I need it / Is it really such an amazing thing that I cherish it / Oh to embrace a… sign in to read more »
I didn't know daybreak was dawn. / You would know dusk to twilight. / I always knew dawn as the early civilization of history. / I was about to take in a new lesson. / As it happens. / I didn't take my sleeping pill- / I woke up after midnight to find myself eating 4 waffles with syrup. / Hey, I am hungry… sign in to read more »

I do know that we look at the world differently / even when raised by the same mother / The thing is, it sees us not the same / look not at me in awe when I define to you my world / / The way I see it, it is both pain and happiness- / these are the only things that matters the most. / The two creates the… sign in to read more »
They saw a way to stay on top / They created a system that would assure them a place on top / And made others believe their reward is in the opposite parallel life / That death is an opposite parallel life off this world- / for these things are only for the living / They should know- / I guess it suits… sign in to read more »
What I learnt ? / / I am born African, I resemble one of the many African / My teachings and acts are grounded in the different world / And this has earned me the label: knowledgeable and clever - / for I was taught all that I was allowed to learn, / I became a clone -half disregarded men half made god… sign in to read more »
