Tears Of Nostalgia
When will incessant rains will stop its sorrow,
when the deadlines of late assessments deepen the thoughts flow..
Thought after thought, with flourish and flow of
One's fond memories they keep inside their soul 💘🌬️

Fantasy Days
Oh, those fantasy days
Of narrow houses, long gardens,
Backing on to the railway line,
Where passengers marvelled
At the symmetry of washing,
Doing its flappy each-way act.
The vegetable patches
Gobbled up the dust and grime,
And smiles were extracted
From the school of hard knocks.
At sunset, big, proud men
Would contemplate their lot,
And bow sun-fired heads

Tide Pools
A cigarette glows
reflected in the truck windshield
careening through the city night
These headlight beams
fruitlessly searching
for something gone
The Grand Rapids highways
never take me where I want to be
not even close
I drink awhile at Anchor bar
a quarter spinning on the table
thoughts go round, keep coming back
'til my skull's swimming too
Two more beers
heads they’re mine

Did I hit my head or have a fall?
Did I hit my head or have a fall?
Did my heart give out?
Am I under the stars?
Did I make it to heaven?
The memories I have are as strong as an over perked cup of coffee
I can’t forget or let them go
In fear that I’ll feel I’ll have never lived those moments to remember
I try to recreate those memories
I try to relive every moment
But each time I do
I realize it’s not...

Azure Dreams
I dream in shades of azure blue,
White horses crest, their dance anew.
Murmurs soft on gold-kissed grain,
Diamonds dapple, twinkle's reign.
Song of light in subtle fade,
Saffron fingers sketch, persuade.
Shapes caressed, each curve's embrace,
Warmth's tender kiss, the night's soft lace.
Embers burn to sky's demand,
Fires grand where heavens stand.
Ashes red in twilight's hymn,
Silen...

Black hole
Moon eyed she goes
She is one of the stars
Lonesome she is
In the presence of Mars
Soon her reflection renews
She is a planetary part apart
Memories become brand-new
She is solo in this system
And as the lights dim
He becomes hers
She sucks us in
Until everything’s hers

There Was Wind Blowing In The Trees
My grandparents names stand in front of me
Hundreds of yards away from each other, neighborly
They were always a city away,
But now so close for eternity.
There with the named and the nameless,
Where so many lives remain only in memory.
There was wind blowing in the trees,
Sun beating down upon our face,
Some of us walked on,
Some of us stayed.
Flowers ...

Moments
Picture frame the moments.
In diaries write them down.
Hold on to such with all you have
for times will come around,
when they will be all that you have
to make it one more day.
And on that day let all else go…
then you will find the way.

Acknowledge me
It reaches further than "please fuck me" or "don’t touch me"
It’s a liminal in-between
A line we like to call blurry
But I never asked you to undress me
My body abandoned me
My words went slurry
Tongue too thick to go beyond a mumble
Kind sir escorted me to save me from stumble
Four times play on my mind
One of them I even forgot
Until it accosted me during a usual d...
