POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Varying moods create the canvas to which I express myself with words... Words are the vehicle to which I offload my heart's burdens.
The Eternal Dream
A world without men or women,
Just people, sexless.
Neither predator nor prey,
Just friends, hateless.
Neither politicians nor congress,
Elite or Masses,
Educated or illeterate,
Poor or rich.
Everyone equal, classless...
Dreams of eternal peace,
Neither war nor disease.
No need for doctors or technolgy,
Or school and it's ideology.
But everyday I am reminded that
Between me and my dreams the gap is...
Eternity.
Just people, sexless.
Neither predator nor prey,
Just friends, hateless.
Neither politicians nor congress,
Elite or Masses,
Educated or illeterate,
Poor or rich.
Everyone equal, classless...
Dreams of eternal peace,
Neither war nor disease.
No need for doctors or technolgy,
Or school and it's ideology.
But everyday I am reminded that
Between me and my dreams the gap is...
Eternity.

An Ode to A Beautiful Woman
Pretty lady why did you
win me with your smile,
trap me with your eyes,
Catch me with your touch.
Tell me why did you
Cross my path with your charm,
Steal my heart with your care,
Turn my head with your manners.
Be honest, why did you
Melt me with your kindness
Leave me in awe with your goodness,
Grip me hard with your wisdom.
I don't know why, but am glad you did.
win me with your smile,

Steal my heart with your care,

Melt me with your kindness
Leave me in awe with your goodness,
Grip me hard with your wisdom.
I don't know why, but am glad you did.

Mother of Mothers
Reminiscing of the yonder years,
When your breasts were all I cared for.
Carrying me on your back,
Our bond was beyond the umbilical cord.
Motherly instinct always to the rescue,
When I frolic into danger...
Watchful eyes when I snore deep,
"Were you really human?!"
I would later think.
Endless energy, amazing.
Spanking mischief from my childish heart,
eyes so stern and yet so sweet.
On one hand firm, the other weak,
Even mothers knew whom to seek,
When their litters were up to mischief.
Firm and meek,
Strict and...

21st Century Wild Man
Wild, untamed in a clever suit.
Primordial instinct oozing forth,
Swords of nib and ink,
Shields of documents, deeds and prints.
Pushing mind and body to brink.
Preying on weakness, survival of the fittest.
Degrees upon degrees, untamed knowledge.
Startups and matchups, outwitting the finest.
Ones and zeros, in this battlefield anyone can be a hero.
Wild men, wild ideas...
Nuclear weapons, space shuttles and the internet,
Now that's wild!
Celebrities, guns, movies,
Virtual reality!
Civilization of savages...
Eat or be...

Perfect love
A story unfolds before our eyes as
a groom selects his bride from many.
He adorns her with pearls, onyx and beryl
and his greatest treasure...
His love.
All is sailing smoothly as
Lovers dance in evening cool to heart's tunes
Till the bride hears another song and
Waltz into the hand of a stranger,
Captive now she screams but it's too late.
She becomes a shadow of her former self
Her beauty gone and
Her hope drowned in the sea of condemnation
She accepts the darkness she could only see
Unworthy to be loved again....

Distance
Memories are the pills I take for the heart ache,
each one a different flavour,
fresh every time from my limbic system,
all we have been to and through.
Sweet and refreshing,
Beautiful and enchanting.
Alas it's just a quick fix
And each one leaves me worse.
As I resolve not to misss you,
I only fall deeper,
Dreaming of our next meet.
Absence makes the heart fonder,
But It also makes me wonder,
When you will finally be mine- forever.
Till then I guess we shall make more pills,
My only fear though is an...

The monk who fell in love
East Monastery
Young monk in meditation
Transendence he seeks.
Downtown Seattle
City girl needs adventure bliss
East City seems perfect.
Blue lined skies,white clouds
Brilliant weather to go places
Long trip accomplished.
Tour guide to temple
Ancient architecture unique
So fascinating
Eyes lock, connection.
Soul travel, quicker than light
True love birthed.
The owls chorus loud
The stars shine with fiery awe
Neither of them can sleep

Sweet Sugar
I crave for a treat,
a snack so delicious and sweet,
don't judge...
I have always had a sweet tooth.
My mother has always told me
"all your teeth's soon gonna fall off"
From your sugary obsessive sprees.
But I was hooked - and glad to be.
If anything was sweeter than those sugary delicacies,
It must have been alien,
Extra terrestial dimension.
November I knew your name,
We boarded the same plane.
My snack bar I was gladly munching.
I smiled with my brown coloured teeth,
you didn't judge... You smiled back.

Crazy Night
I had a nightmare last night.
I got into a fight over a bet and...
I stabbed my best friend Ben.
I quickly ran into my car and drove off.
I was driving so fast out of fear,
I hit a pregnant woman crossing the road.
I heard her loud screams but...
I didn't wait.
I only drove faster.
I eventually stopped to catch my breath.
I then picked up a random girl on the road.
I ended up in her place and we made love.
"Ouch" My head hurts so bad,
What a messed up dream.
Thank God am awake.
Wait?!... where is this place?... ...
