POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
i tried
not all warriors come clad in armour
sifting through the supermarket aisles
their eyes collide
followed immidiately
by the briefest of a pause
then a mutual smirk and a brief smile
no exchange of words
or waving of hands
as they pass each other
the two women
nothing out of ordinary
to the naked eye
little does anyone know
that true warriors
don't come clad in armour
nor do they carry any
fancy weapons or go around
in fancy costumes
their armour
is the invisible one
their unrivaled power ...

he never had the time she never had the opportunity
still they knew
what they meant
for each
the other
for they were
deserted by the two
the time and the opportunity
both these entities
thinking only they
are the ones
that made
love
possible
and only they
are the ones
that sustain it
little did the time
and the opportunity know
they both
were wrong
for him
and her
both had something ...

this is not for now
this is for later
and
the later
that 'later' comes
the better
but we know pretty darn well
it's coming
so the moment we have
my dear
is all what we have
all
what we'll ever have
and all
what we'll ever hold
the dearest!

dry?
looks like
the hot wind
that blew
all day yesterday
left me dry
on the inside too
and the desert
hasn't
even
begun
i say
let's do this
bring
on
the Sahara!

And they asked me to write a poem
..and they asked me
to write a poem
i said who the hell
writes poems
these days
all you see
are expressions
my poems
and poetry
died
when she said
"it's time"
the music
just stopped
my quill
just dropped
time for expression
is now
and that's the reason
that what you see now
is nothing but
frustration
exclamation
and screams
no nothing there
to be broken
left
not even...

the improbability of tomorrow
our tomorrow
is as striking
as the alps
behind your home
yet i take on the mountain
one step at a time
one breath at a time
yes
you and the world
are right
to call me a fool
but tell me
my dear
did i
at any point
had
any other option?

don't you f**king dare come between me and my right to kill
in defence
well dear asshole
defence is much more than
simply killing killing and more killing
so you are ready to put your life
on the line
to defend
your right to be lethal
whether you're in danger
or not
and why the fuck then
do you need the army
the police
the security apparatus of the state?
let every man woman child and their dog
fend for themselves
someone rightly said
in that particular place on earth
what...

compromise
no compromise
only fight
was once the motto
engraved
on my bike's front bumper
though today
the attitude remains
much the same
on the outside
something
inside
has undergone
a profound change
today
when life
with
all the successes
has put me in a corner
there
the destruction
of everything around
is the only
way out
trouble is
it is
the surrounds
that i've grown
too fond of
to even think
about touching...

a giant middle finger
yes
it is the nature
that you understand not one bit
and its nature?
well, you've always
been blind to it mate
whilst claiming to see
beyond the Milky Way
well
don't go too far matey
the sight to be noticed
lay
right next to you
ever noticed
whilst stuck
in the gridlocked traffic
the weed that grows
in the cracks of the concrete
that divides the road?
yes
that's the nature
of nature
always beyond your best shot
like a giant middle...

The Grand Poems Series - Big heart's
big hurt?
bigger
is her heart
not because
she called me 'my heart'
but because her heart
is an ocean
yet she keeps tamed
the wild undercurrents
of pain
and sorrows
her affection
the surf of the breakers
she has the power to drag and drown
if she wishes to unleash her rips
on anyone
she chooses not to
for her love
is grand!
her wisdom
her harbour of patience
tolerating the most toxic of ships
for she knows
like the toxic fleets before
this too
shall pass!...

cold's not the ocean
cold
is not the ocean
it's the ocean
that is
cold
perefect blend
beauty
danger
no matter
your love
it'll take you in
no discrimination
friend or foe
deeply happy
or
sunken in woe
ocean's calm
ocean's roar
either way
you'd come
for more
and they say
the ocean
is a cold
merciless killer
little
do they know
the peace
that lay
within
its tumult
