Just Because, Bad Heart
Just because I am old do not tumble me dry. Toss me away with those unused Wheat pennies, Buffalo nickels, and Mercury dimes in those pickle jars in the basement. Do not bleach my dark memories Salvation Army my clothes to the poor because I died. Do not retire me […]
It’s the End of the End
When you can touch the end No time to hold, No time to amend, Into the void you stare, With a heart senile Too old, too broken to mend. Is it really the end though? The emptiness swallowing A siphon deep deep below. Or could it be A beginning so. […]

A virus did not see the boundaries created by us All these boundaries, divisions, segregations are just superfluous It took one virus to remind us of the importance of health Which we seem to have forgotten in the rat race for power and wealth Immunity will not come from processed […]
Momentous Night
Sky is bright and gay Night is bejeweled with enchanting stars Moon and its beauty crafted trenches Chirping crickets are pleasing to the ears Creating a loquacious night. As we stare in the vastness Memories reflected into our senses Awaken our souls till it cannot breath Longing for your love […]
