POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I do not know anything about the ABC's of poetry. I listen to my heartbeat and flow accordingly.
sister
You have suffered many intractable rudiments of life raising us your children.
Six adorable seeds of blessing from God.
Yet you held your head up, opened your heart to us
and embraced each moment collectively spent with a note of triumph.
With unwavering faith, you knew there were better days ahead.
The person we are today is a product of our memories.
We are grateful for your kindness and unconditional love.
Like the halo of the angel
You always stood an inch behind us.
In our moments of terror, you held and caressed away our fears....

A Letter to Jossy
A faithful day it was
when I proposed love to you
Blessed with a perfect serenity at the time
Visible footprints of the moon seen upon the skies
You looked, smiled and uttered,
'I will wait for you'.
I possibly could not agreed to the wait
In my heart I doubted your existence
Broken in pockets and wallets
Love's uncertainty stroke in a million ways
In me I breathed you
and felt your sweetness
Like a Phoenix love arose in me
and rebirthed not in me but as me
...

OVERDOSE
She blemished my personality
once and even more
With undesirable thoughts she described
uncaring, without sweetness of love
Yet a squeezed of adoration
and she could not gripped it
Treating my love as soiled rag
I presaged my beloved
Blindly she sees
Deafly she hears
Patience my love
In due season shall we Lock fingers
At equal distance, the lovers bench
Where we kiss the moon goodnight
Beside you there is none
My utmost truth I write
Beautiful voices sing as one
Hearts of gold intertwine ...

Evergreen
Pleasing the heart is my lovers love
Caressing me softly and deftly,
even at miles away
Like the delicious book 'Bambi',
the sweetness of it demands a second read.
My lip testifies the abundance of my heart
In obedience my hand inscribes
An embodiment of timeless love
A beautiful bottomless adoration
Soaked in fullness of innocence
For one who is lovely to me
Happy birthday love💓🎂

Halo, the Angelic chain is above thee
All I must do is to water thee
Poem even this my voice
Pearl perfection of a stone
Yellow is far thy region
Beautiful, whose face is beyond Venus
In thy scope my heart rattles
My sick self divinely healed
The minute glimpses, thy physique
Always shall I think of thee
As one comprising many
You merit plentiful than I give thee
You deserve a better first love
Take all O' mine
My letters, thy raspise
Flavoured with multiple...

The Hansel and Gretel House
The Hansel and Gretel story
Every handy candy
Is a lollipop of sin
For this feign jolly
Spit we the garden honey
Our eyes are open
Everything is routine
Away to the den of varieties
Where wanton possessions
Entreat with serpent tongue
Giving meat, smoke and wine
And secure a place
Against which to backward
Disdain! Disdain!
Be not for sheep among the wolves
Again I say disdain!

And secure a place
Against which to backward
Disdain! Disdain!
Be not for sheep among the wolves
Again I say disdain!

OTHERS
From this moment to the days of the unknown
I will paint myself a multi-shade of one.
A full spectrum reflecting the true brilliance of my inner man.
This muscular and barely controllable emotion
Speak I not on the thrills of sexual magnetism
But of extreme essential, altruism.
My personality shall cuddle not, shades of gray and black.
My forehead, I will smudge in red
Portraying my eagerness to take up actions.
One that yearns to promote the interest of others
Especially the marginalized in society. ...
