Hope.... is a bitch!
she killed me once
twice
thrice
did so
for seven years
except for seven days
and then
you did the same
fuck this!
self esteem never looked
more crushed yet
more appealing
[at the same time]
perhaps life
is meant to be
like this
perhaps heart
is meant to be
trampled upon
perhaps it is time
to move on
scrubbing self esteem
from the sidewalk
twice
thrice
did so
for seven years
except for seven days
and then
you did the same
fuck this!
self esteem never looked
more crushed yet
more appealing
[at the same time]
perhaps life
is meant to be
like this
perhaps heart
is meant to be
trampled upon
perhaps it is time
to move on
scrubbing self esteem
from the sidewalk

Stare Down
Stare Down
I push a grocery cart in a produce market past homegrown Maine kale. Here, outside of Presque Isle, blueberry orchards wait for summer to be harvested by sturdy girls who pine for love. There are aisles of green leafy vegetables in bunches on racks. A freckled young woman faces me in a narrow passage between the Edenic edibles. “I was there first and therefore have the right of passage.”
She says, “What if I sue you for bumping me and hurting my back?” So I make way for her.
My heart longs to turn our lemon encounter into a butternut squash...

the dark messiah 94: shut your eyes and still your heart
Bring me your enemies
And lay them before me
Turn and walk away as you leave them on their knees
Shut your eyes and still your heart
My vengeance is that of blood
Forgive your past and hope to once again find love
Hold on to faith and pray to the son (me)
Don't be weary when you find troubles
I'll fight of your demons
Sleep safe and soundly in me you belong
Take a leap of faith I'll catch you when you fall
Spread your wings and learn to fly
I'm the wind beneath your flight
Say parish and I'll die
For I stand...
And lay them before me
Turn and walk away as you leave them on their knees
Shut your eyes and still your heart
My vengeance is that of blood
Forgive your past and hope to once again find love
Hold on to faith and pray to the son (me)
Don't be weary when you find troubles
I'll fight of your demons
Sleep safe and soundly in me you belong
Take a leap of faith I'll catch you when you fall
Spread your wings and learn to fly
I'm the wind beneath your flight
Say parish and I'll die
For I stand...

the madman's diary- excerpt1: the encounter with a lawyer
rush hour at the railway central
packed platform with benches full to the corner inch
of newspaper readers
and the head-buried-in-smartphone commuters
the madman dressed in simply a crisp white shirt
and torn-at-knee sky blue jeans
stands next to one till a couple holding hands yet gazing their cells
stands up in unison and make their way towards the opening doors of the express train
within a flash
he finds himself seated
between a hot dog munching time poor middle aged guy
and a smartly dressed bathed in perfume...

Ode of Vomera
Who are we and what is our place?
Are we the only living creatures in the darkness of space?
The evening sky is painted with numerous stars
Vainly we look up at them as if they know who we are.
Vomera is our beautiful home
With the vast and harsh tundra of Ascremaux
And the Vicious Mountains of Chardigue
If you don’t die from the cold, you will of the waters of Chardigue.
Poor Mazoche lies forgotten in the corner
Where the terrible winds and powerful waves can make any drunk man sober
The Vicious Mountains continue through Moesplia...
Are we the only living creatures in the darkness of space?

If you don’t die from the cold, you will of the waters of Chardigue.
Poor Mazoche lies forgotten in the corner
Where the terrible winds and powerful waves can make any drunk man sober

Demon Hunters: Slayers Part 2
I stared at Amelia waiting for her to say something else.
“We must make sure that the hordes leave that area so that our soldiers can return. Hundreds of them are camped there now. I don’t know why but we must make them move away. If they don’t leave we must destroy them,” she said, her voice taking on that steely edge that showed she was determined. She crossed her leather clad shapely legs and stared at her fingers.
I knew something was amiss as she was not looking me in the eye as she usually did when she wanted to drive something in. I stared at her, waiting for her...

when tomorrow said goodbye
a leaf fell
off the tree
straddling the
serpentine river
the ripple
was smothered
by the current
before it could make
the slightest of shimmer
food for thought
for the one
also resting
on the same branch
contemplating
the impact
if any
of his own fall
his tomorrow
had bade its goodbyes
the glare
ultimately
blinded him
it was a sunny day
and
he wanted it
his last
memory
off the tree
straddling the
serpentine river
the ripple
was smothered
by the current
before it could make
the slightest of shimmer
food for thought
for the one
also resting
on the same branch
contemplating
the impact
if any
of his own fall
his tomorrow
had bade its goodbyes
the glare
ultimately
blinded him
it was a sunny day
and
he wanted it
his last
memory

Golden Moon
For centuries, Ithiliel has been content to stare out at the vast sea. Nowadays, her attention has been focused solely eastward.”
Cirdan gave his wife a knowing look. “Our daughter’s heart has been taken. She has turned her gaze from the sea in hopes of a glance of her beloved’s return. Yet, it has been more than five years.”
The lord’s wife glanced at him worriedly. “Will Lord Glorfindel ever return? The Valar have sent him back to Middle Earth to protect Lord Elrond and his family. Despite his duty, I know that he too reciprocates Ithiliel’s affections.”

Strangers in a Strange Bed
Strangers in a Strange Bed
Monica surprises me. “Honey, my waist size is down to where it was when we got married. How should we celebrate?”
“Let’s go to the girl’s roller derby.”
“You just want to get an eye full of those girls going at it like Amazon warriors. You get turned on by that.”
“Well, don’t you get excited by football players?”
“Are you kidding me? Do I get turned on by a bunch of hairy Neanderthals slapping each other’s butts? Hell yes!”
I say, “Give me a few minutes until I finish this chapter.”
