Babuska's sarmale
In a snowy Romanian village, during Christmas cheer,
my Babuska spun tales, both delightful and queer.
The tradition was sarmale, a savory delight,
Cabbage wrapped treasures, cooked all through the night.
Meat and rice nestled in leaves so green,
simmered in tomato, a feast so serene.
But woven in laughter and holiday charms
were Babuska’s stories with their quirky alarms:
"Behave well, dear children, lest you wish to be seen
in the pot with the sarmale, simmering and lean."
The children would giggle, eyes...

boogie man
my love of boogers began when I was a small child
I would sneeze
and the snot would fly, big mucusy globs running down my face
usually blending with my tears
where asthma was a norm and my breathing constricted
they would let loose and I would eat them
disgusting I know but little did I know I was building immunity
the germs would attack and I would devour them
greenies being favored for their rich salty taste
sliding on down my face
I would often get in trouble for having such a messy nose
my dad insisted it was gross

Death Race
and they’ll say
haven’t you had enough?
(death and destruction)
(death and destruction)
to which I’d reply
not till they all reach the sky
so sit down
as we go for a hell of a ride
when I was alive
I tried to be the nice guy
was picked on
until I slicked my hair back
started wearing a leather coat
bought a ride the girls drooled over
was challenged to a drag race
couldn’t look week
so I said let’s ride
was head to head

The Poem Unwritten
The poem unwritten unravels in my dreams
A swirling of light, colors, things unseen
Experiences of floating and drifting by
People I haven’t known
In strange places I haven’t arrived
The poem unwritten unravels each night
And in my subconscious I pledge to remember this time
The epic feeling of a twisted world
The adventure of unlimited swirls
Of fantasy and fiction
But each day I wake the promised dreams
turn into forgotten reality of the poem unwritten
A swirling of light, colors, things unseen
Experiences of floating and drifting by
People I haven’t known
In strange places I haven’t arrived
The poem unwritten unravels each night
And in my subconscious I pledge to remember this time
The epic feeling of a twisted world
The adventure of unlimited swirls
Of fantasy and fiction
But each day I wake the promised dreams
turn into forgotten reality of the poem unwritten

First Date
Off the vine ; very appealing.
She does not come apart.
Her wit is biting.
My wine spills.
Kisses my cheek, trying not to laugh.
That was twenty years ago.
It's only grapes.
She does not come apart.
Her wit is biting.
My wine spills.
Kisses my cheek, trying not to laugh.
That was twenty years ago.
It's only grapes.

Mafioso - The American Dream
Italian, The Irish 'The American Dream'
A sweeping virus reigned supreme...
A new decade of organised crime
Judges paid from doin' time
New York, Chicago, The Heads, The Don
Coke contained cargo, imported from
Bootleg liquor, prostitute beds
Low light flicker, corrupted feds
Fancy sharp suits, rival attacks
Dirty rats, hit-men contracts
Illegal casinos, sunset strip
Cuban, Latino, money trip
Witness protect, the end of the game
Hoods recollect... A ratted out name
A sweeping virus reigned supreme...
A new decade of organised crime
Judges paid from doin' time
New York, Chicago, The Heads, The Don
Coke contained cargo, imported from
Bootleg liquor, prostitute beds
Low light flicker, corrupted feds

Dirty rats, hit-men contracts

भोली है सूरत, नाजुक-सी तू गुड़िया
नैनो के कटोरो मे, प्यार का दरिया
काजल की डोर, बांधे मन हर-और
भीनी...

Some kind of angel
Three times I called out to her.
each time,
she stepped out of the blackness
and stood over me.
I pursed my lips for her kiss
but she just stared,
her face laced with pity
so I cursed her.
again.
(pic from American horror story)

Artwork Sublime
She simply wonders
entire day lost in words
anticipation
Her man awaits her
her nervousness betters her
lost in expression
He greets her with passion
gropes her with an intention
teasing sensations
She embraces him
kissing him at the entrance
sharing her pulsations
In the lift they enter
moaning, she just surrenders
yet an alluring temptress
pantyless she was
blissfully wet without thought
her daddy she sought
mindlessly surrenders
she knew it’s a night...

Cosmic rays of rain
In cosmic rays of rain
My soul flies
Vibrations of conscience
Into distant lands of times aeoned rain
I need no reasons why,
Lord; he’s a never a dying,
Into the end
Where there’s heavy dark
And nothings left massed
Into the whole, swirling black and dense
Till it collapse, turned into a gravitational white whole
The single brightest and most powerful event
Imploding it is there I begin again
With only the previous memories of what came before
And, in multiple singular...
My soul flies

Into distant lands of times aeoned rain

Finding Balance
I wake up lying on my back
with sunlight pouring down
on my face and the murmur of
the running water close by.
There is a brilliant ache
in my optic nerve
and a steady, painful throbbing
at the base of my skull.
I hear a distant thunder
of the approaching migraine.
So, I rolled on to sit upright
tucking my head between my knees.
The first heavy breaths felt like
someone has put a steel wedge
between my rib cage.
So, I groaned through the pain
and forced my eyes to open.
And they barely opened as I...

The time of Halloween
The time of Halloween
Oh I love Halloween, you can't beat some trick or treat, it's a time for scary dress up, it's a time that can't be beat
Pumpkins with evil faces, shining candy apples by the score, a feast of childish fun filled delights, who could ask for more
Spooky ghosts and ghoulies, Vampires and the Wolfman hiding in the dark, stories told by adults. Your fear they're made to spark
You hide under the covers, first check there's nothing under your bed, is there something in your wardrobe or is it in your head
Scary evil nasty...
