Dear promised one
To you my son, my promised one,
In reflective ink I pen my mind, my final lines
I’ve played my part and yours yet begun
I hope one day, I’ll lead your way,
to brighter and through darker times,
You shall fear no darkness, dear promised one
In reflective ink I pen my mind, my final lines
I’ve played my part and yours yet begun
I hope one day, I’ll lead your way,
to brighter and through darker times,
You shall fear no darkness, dear promised one

CROSSING PATHS 2
Gotta be careful, man
People are on the path"
He says to his son
Swinging branches
Around in a circle
As I approach
People are on the path"
He says to his son
Swinging branches
Around in a circle
As I approach

the goodbye
The Good-Bye
We walked
To the railway station
Mother
Dressed in an old coat
Fastened with safety pins
waved.
She looked so small wanted to leave the train
Embrace her.
The train moved
I waved
As long as I could see her.
Mother was untidy
Hair
On the sandwiches
She gave me.
At the next stop
I bought a bar of chocolate.

vices
for dad collection - 08 / 16 / 21
It’s strange —
how i used to resent my father
or his vices,
when now
i understand why.
Now,
i understand —
how the smoke embraces you
like a lover
and how
the alcohol — fills in the cracks
like grout .
But then again,
lovers don’t last forever
and tiles
need re-grouting.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
You left me so early before I could understand what I was about to endure
I was sheltered from most of the drama that went on
As I begin to understand my surroundings & the situation I was in, suddenly there was no sight of you
I heard the stories of how you ran your operation, in your respected city
She suffered & I was too young to comprehend what was going on
I’ma stranger to you but your blood runs through me
I was pulled away & force fed information I couldn’t prove cause you disappeared ...

MA in Pain
You were unavailable
But I sought your affection
This was an act of self-harm
You taught me just how
Through your neglect
And your lack of empathy
I learned how to hurt
More than I needed to
It was all over you
Because if that is all
That you have to teach me
I’ll become an expert at hurting
But I sought your affection
This was an act of self-harm
You taught me just how
Through your neglect
And your lack of empathy
I learned how to hurt
More than I needed to
It was all over you
Because if that is all
That you have to teach me
I’ll become an expert at hurting

Becoming Small
you made me feel
so unwanted
like it was a chore
for you to love me
rejected, neglected
a child left alone
to figure things out
all on my own
you cast me aside
so I would find
crevices to fold
into and hide
where I could become
small and unnoticed and
silent
for hours on end
until you decided
it was finally time
to go back home
it’s time to go
now I shed old clothes
scratchy sunday dresses
I never fit into
I am rid of you
so unwanted
like it was a chore
for you to love me
rejected, neglected
a child left alone
to figure things out
all on my own
you cast me aside
so I would find
crevices to fold
into and hide
where I could become
small and unnoticed and
silent
for hours on end
until you decided
it was finally time
to go back home
it’s time to go
now I shed old clothes
scratchy sunday dresses
I never fit into
I am rid of you

The middle class.
She sits narrow in the lane
Watching butterfly with khichdi
Tasting yellow years of harvest
The man across the work
Of labour
He sits with his children
Chasing the castle nuts
And bits teaching them young.

THE GRIGION PIGRACKLE
THE GRIGION PIGRACKLE
As I walked toward the train station, my mind fluttered over many thoughts.
Ignore them. Ignore them all, I thought. They are merely notes etched into the
'SECOND SCREEN' notepad in the back of my head.
Life exists right here. Right now.
I observe my surroundings. Always.
I live right here right now.
....And so, witnessing the world , as I passed by the TACO CABANNA

The Empire or The Fire
When my starlight doesn't shine bright anymore
Will he punch my ticket, letting me through Heaven's door?
Or
Will I be a patron who's partaking of Satan's flames?
A fire and desire hotter than Teena with Rick James
Frame by frame, I'm reflecting on chapters of my book
Forty-five years in the game moving 'round like a rook
I've been shook by crooks but I will never break
Walked through secret gardens, following my snake
Made mistakes that now equate to lessons learned
Playing with fire can cause empires to be burned ...

His sun
I am apart of the earth.
It seeks my attention.
Every
Time
I
Step
Outside.
It makes me want to cry
because
the only other
living thing that wants me
and loves me
that much is my father.
What did I do to deserve such a person?
...

Ghost-in-Law (A True Story)
It was one late night sometime back in nineteen seventy five
When Frank came home nine sheets to the wind - intoxicated
His wife was really pissed off and she made him sleep on the couch
She didn’t like his heavy drinking and on that night she was very irritated
But Frank’s mother-in-law, feeling a little sorry for the guy
Thought it was cold so she got up to get sheets and cover him
And as she raised them over her head, in the dark, he suddenly woke up
So he stuttered and screamed seeing floating sheets coming to smother him
