My Nudist Dream
Had a dream this morning about a sexy, thin girl who committed suicide over some high school drama and then in her ghostly form, just went full on nude. I remember vividly her swimming through this big ass lake. It was...somewhere. Couldn't explain where. Couldn't explain the buildings around her. I remember her driving in her old car everywhere. I remember her simply exploring the Earth without restrictions.
Then, somehow, the blonde girl turned into Diana, a dark chocolate haired girl. My character in my series. And Darryl and Diana were having fun adventures traveling...

Illusion of Dreams
When my country
landed on the moon,
it was of no
practical value to me.
So young a female
centered on stage
for a different dismantling.

My Doll
There is a comfort I once used to seek.
From a time I wasn't even able to speak.
It was a doll with beady eyes,her dress pink.
I still remember her black,beady eyes.
And the loads of playing,fantasize.
It had the silkiest,blonde hair.
And her makeup was very fair.
When I was little,I held dear.
And my intentions,attachement towards it was clear.
I still remember the day I received it for my birthday.
My eyes lit up in surprise.
I named her Annabelle,for her beady eyes.
The years passed,and the days went by. ...

Tattered Corners
I've got a picture of a girl I missed
It's from that time when we first kissed
It was like a dream, yet like sunrise
Our goodnights, our goodbyes
All part of our demise
I lost the letter that she once wrote
I used to carry it around for hope
It asked me if I wanted a lunch date
Our goodbyes, our fate
Too little, too late
Here comes another cliché, pho-
-tograph, memory of times long passed
Edges torn and tattered corners
All battered by ti-i-ime
I've got a Polaroid of our prom
That time I thought you...
It's from that time when we first kissed
It was like a dream, yet like sunrise
Our goodnights, our goodbyes
All part of our demise
I lost the letter that she once wrote
I used to carry it around for hope
It asked me if I wanted a lunch date
Our goodbyes, our fate
Too little, too late
Here comes another cliché, pho-
-tograph, memory of times long passed
Edges torn and tattered corners
All battered by ti-i-ime
I've got a Polaroid of our prom

Miami!
Calle Ocho
Look a roacho
it must be Miami!
teeming with humanity
cut with a knife humidity
Miami it must be
La la
Mama Mia!
Santeria!
In the canals the dead goats float
Out in the bay
on any given day
square grouper are afloat
See them from your speeding boat
A penthouse on Brickell Ave
Big bucks you must have
or else it's Kendall Drive for you
Yikes, that's me! what can I do?
Oh, neato
another mosquito
soon you'll have no blood
Will Miami be here
in another year ...

~home
hitting sharp ocean tides
mixed in an undifferentiating
fusion of a pungently pleasant
fishy odoriferous ambience..
ah home this is
yes the sun firing as supersun
at 40 or more Celsius .. these
unstoppably streaming yellows
of a brightened sunflowering
noon .. in busy rushing crowds
with a musk of sweating stench
Ah home yes home
this sweltering heaven
Chennai 🙏

Two's Company... Four's A Crowd
John went to the beach.
Once there, he saw three bikini blondes.
He's got trouble with choosing.
That's before one came closer.
After kissing his lips, he remembered her.
It's his college sweetie Katey.
She's happy to see him.
Katey went to the beach with friends.
Thos friends left them alone.

sorry your phone’s broke
older I get
hungry and go
to the café
but it’s not a café
anymore
it’s a bloody mobile phone
repair shop
I wonder
what went
wrong

The Shoe Is On The Other Foot
Is
there one
thing about
me that you like?
Maybe it's the fact
that I'm not that chubby
bookworm that you made fun of
back when we were in high school. I
see that time has not been kind to you
as well. The shoe is on the other foot.

Faded flames
Faded flames haunt my memories
A summer rain that brings reprieve
From the scorching earth heat
Yet their stay never lingers
Only the cool comfort
Of that beautiful time and place
When soundtrack sounds surround
Whisking and wishing us
To new and untouched lands
And the secret of knowing
In that moment
Nothing else mattered, but us
A summer rain that brings reprieve
From the scorching earth heat
Yet their stay never lingers
Only the cool comfort
Of that beautiful time and place
When soundtrack sounds surround
Whisking and wishing us
To new and untouched lands
And the secret of knowing
In that moment
Nothing else mattered, but us

Familiarity
Familiar
The smell of the home cooked meal
The softness in their voices
The warmth I feel
Close to home
The halls I once roamed
Familiarity
Of the faces
And songs
They made me strong
I’ve felt so wrong
One day in their warm embrace
They make everything okay
Again, the familiarity of it all
The pictures hung on the wall
I feel like I belong
Within the frame,
I smile without shame
Familiar voices fade
When I step back into my world
The unfamiliarity of it all
Where all seems...
The smell of the home cooked meal
The softness in their voices
The warmth I feel
Close to home
The halls I once roamed
Familiarity
Of the faces
And songs
They made me strong
I’ve felt so wrong
One day in their warm embrace
They make everything okay
Again, the familiarity of it all
The pictures hung on the wall
I feel like I belong
Within the frame,
I smile without shame
Familiar voices fade
When I step back into my world
The unfamiliarity of it all
Where all seems...

FLOOD GATE.
SOMETIMES THE SADNESS IS LIKE A
FLOOD GATE . ONCE IT IS OPEN
EVERYTHING IS DECIMATED WITH THIS ACHE .
IT IS A TIDAL WAVE RUSHING IN TO FILL
UP THE CRACKS AND YOU ARE SOAKED.
YOU ARE COLD TOO AND YOU SHAKE .
THAT IS WHAT GRIEF CAN DO IT TAKES
YOU BY SURPRISE AND WITH A
FEROCITY THAT BITES THROUGH
BONES AND EVERY SINEW OF YOU
AND YOU WAIT QUIETLY FOR YOUR
INSIDES NOT TO BREAK .
AND YOU BITE DOWN HARD ON YOUR LIP TO STIFLE THE CRY OF FEELINGS YOU DON'T LIKE • YOU PRAY FOR A MIRACLE THAT YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF EVERY...
