This is odd! To compare gender to a man Or a woman that is flawed Is like describing God to a pagan. Water on stone is in vain. The nanny drenches in extra time, The farmer farms in the rain Irrespective of the clime. A boy grows up to become a slut. A girl is […]

If you look for me on this side, Through a teary glass Wearing binoculars that can bore through the eye of the gods, I’m well hid. If you look again through the layers, I will unfold. For in the multitude of our acts is revealed. Hope, believe and faith And even if we are not […]

If love were only a figure of speech, I would agree. It would mean pain and love at the same time, at least to me. The opposite is a knife to my back from everyday, a form, like an overdose of loving given away. But love is just a figure that we see and wish […]

I didn’t know he was married. He was the taste of being young. We had met at that night party Damian was a tall fine bottle of wine. I drank too much of him, And we both woke up in his bed. His phone call forced me out of his bed. Why are the sweetest […]

Glorious day in a fruitful garden, Red ripe fruits, and yellow ones too. Green leaves on giant masquerade trees, Birds are singing, the wind is dancing softly It’s me, you, and this beauties of nature. Sitting beside a stream as calm as the dead. At this point in time, all my fears are dead, It […]
