Casket

I need someone to hold Hold it all at bay Someone to drink My tired skin Silence what I cannot say I need the day to DisappearDisappear Away from tired hands Too many vampires Suck my soul And drain me where I stand Let me…

A Moment in Eternity 24/24

A street child is begging for a slice of bread, His dull black eyes spelling hopeless despair… A woman neatly dressed in a luxurious coat Quickly looks away, then crosses the road. A limousine driver brakes excessively, Hoots in anger, shouts aggressively As a wasted…

Early Morning 23/24

Sun is rising Birds are singing… Minutest detail of Nature’s treasure exposed In Kaleidoscopic beauty… Morning gradually breaks out In brilliant Rhapsody Of sound and colour – Crimson touches Cirrus clouds And turns them all to Rose – Gentle colours wash the sky In Summer…

Yes to confession, No to the crime, Yes to the poet, No to the rhyme, Yes to the wasting, No to the waste, Yes to the progress, No to the haste, Yes to the helping, No to the sigh, Yes to the process, No to…

Icarus 19/24

Poem 24: To Sleep, Perchance
