Poems: I read because…
I read poems
Written by poets in this portal
and other’s beyond
for poems to me are words
In pretty colours
All maroon and white
And red and blue too
They float around so carelessly
Read and they become a story
Said in pretty proses and phrases
I read poems by broody poets
For at time times they like thunder be
And lightning on tapestry
Of words sewed and woven
By a poet’s pen
So dark and gloomy
And shivery delicious
When read quietly at midnight
I read poems by poets
Whose words are...

Just Smoke
The baby’s crying
She is hungry
There’s no food
To fill her hungry tummy
Nor milk to soothe her thirst
There is nothing
For her
Daddy’s gone
From this world
Mommy’s crying
She doesn’t know how
to keep on living
cos there is nothing
in the house
She wants her smoke
She wants her grass
She needs her angel dusts
She wants her black beauty
She needs to fly
And touch the sky
Psychedelic high
She wants molly
To touch ecstasy
Swallow rainbows
She needs to flip ...

Cybernetic Romance
Sunrise on the Eastern Sky
As it crawls to midnight in yours
A yawn and a good morning
I whisper as I log on
I see your name and I smile
My beloved is online
A smiley, a hi
And we are both on high
Romance in the air
We are, in datas
That tick and click into the bank
Of the CPU
I gaze and adore your avatar
A knight, a smith
A bard, a minstrel
A man, a lover
A messenger so swift
A poet of old
You speak your mind
I understand
You pour out your heart
Shaking me to my core ...

The Third World War
The warriors from the East
shall trample the earth
with their mighty guns
the frenzy of bottled disgusts
against power from the Western Realms
and their mighty circle
that sit around the round table,
crests and crowns upon their shields,
they who know their statures
and prowess made them emperors
and warlords of the Earth
The air will be cleaved by anger
translates in thunder, its might eager
to show sovereignty of the blue skies
lightning shall they spew
burning cities destroying empires ...

Love is meaningful

It is usually betrayed
It is usually tarnished

Shadows and Light
Shifting shadows on the sand
creeping, crawling on the ground
silently scrapping like broken nails
towards the light
the ever brightening light
The Light shoots forth
the greens and purples of Gaia
and strew confetti of love
In the fragrant air of Maya;
Envelopes the air
Shadows' form scampers
on walls unknown to man
but slither through waking dreams
evil of words and deeds
created, applied through evil minds
Light shines on in strength
applied by man with angels' might
To outshine ills and evil deeds
to...

Dedicated to my friend
My friend
The sky is blue today
It kisses the sea beyond
The ocean’s azure glow
Lighted up by the sun
The waves incessant
pounding
On the sandy shore
Crashing and swishing
And back again
I feel gentle zephyr
Its caressing blow
Upon this sweaty brow
And I know
Everything’s going to be alright
My friend
You feel so down today
The world is just so grey
Music discordant play
Plays strange sad melodies
You feel the tug of sadness
Plucking your sleeves
You want to cry
And mourn against the world
You...
The sky is blue today

Changes
As I passed you by today
I looked at you
expecting a smile
you turned away
did not wave, nor say
hello or goodbye
as you usually do
I walked on silently
while you looked the other way
when I looked back
you were staring at me
with dislike in your eyes
they pierced me
like a thousand knives
I don’t know why
you turned away
I don’t know what
made you change so fast
I don’t know where
you got that stare
of ‘I don’t really care’
I don’t know when
I will know why ...

The year that was
The year 2011,
International Year of Forests
International Year of Chemistry
Bombing in Moscow
Tsunami in Japan
Nature rages
What’s the Message?
Osama shot dead
Chile's Puyehue volcano erupts
Famine in Somalia
Gaddafi executed
Beautiful Elizabeth Taylor died
Steve Jobs followed…
Many other Shenanigans
For me, seventh year Anniversary
Of a leaving
Stopped mourning
A hope of a new beginning
With promises to keep
A destination to reach
For 2012 hopes of promises

Dear Grace ( A letter to my Past)
Hail Grace, you are 12
Don’t go home tonight
Stay at grandma’s house
For your parents will fight
And your innocence lost
There is a change in the air
You will know who they are
Those who you call parents
They don’t care
You are nothing
You are just there
Hail Grace, you are 13
Quick girl, just run away
Don’t think of anything
Just go away far far away
Don’t look at the man
Your brother in law
Don’t think about your parents
He will rip away your innocence
And send you on a long hard highway ...
Don’t go home tonight
Stay at grandma’s house
For your parents will fight
And your innocence lost

I forgive the unforgiven
I remember it well
The promises we made
The love we had
The hopes we shared
This remembrance
Should be scrapped
From the library of my mind
From the walls of time
Just so it would not
Eat into my soul like rot
Like corrosive rust
I remember
The kisses deep
The seeking hands
The giving, melting together
Fused into one
In a gentle lullaby of love
Trembling and shivering
In love’s symphony
Reaching up to the sky
And falling like cosmic dusts
Consummation with the crashing waves
...

Drifting (In collaboration with Diddi)
Do you think of me
as I dream of you
your sun sinks in the sea
as I farewell my moon ,
gliding so free
I drift through the blue
endlessly ,
into the changing hue
Against the mountains
The sunrays do light
The blue eastern sky
Push forth its dawn
I stretch my arms
And my thoughts do stray
To you my Maya-mate it flies
Meet me in the occidental,
western summer skies
I will greet your oriental,
eastern loving eyes
Haste not to extend
The whisper of appeals
To this sojourner ...
