One day had a poem knitted in scary silence, until noon broke the hush of this blurry silence. Scattering the fragments of whispers in day, in raging questions they are on a stormy silence. Twice I called the moon to their thoughts, but all in a word was liquid of teary’ silence. The dead life […]

One more word and she was wan Two minutes is all it took, the tension grew Three burns then three kisses, obeying love’s decree Four full moons, these bruises must score Five fingers folded into a fist, we fought for love’s live Six pants and six sighs, there’s nothing a French kiss cannot fix Seven […]

In my mind it plays Humming silently for days Mind, hand, pen and paper contravene Maybe they settle under morning rays As events unfold Memory mind holds Words come to form Eyes closed to bask Imagery the norm Distant chirp, warm Honking horns, serene Leaves in alphabet mask Muse can’t be contained in a cask […]

The walls of these knees are cracked …[T]urning into debris. The eyes that these hills attract, The tears are begging to be free Here is the place my voice stood Humming songs of shame Helping a belief in falsehood Hoping heaven would remember my name. Evening passed and the morning died Exacting same pain Every […]

On an arid settlement on my tongue Is a land where good grazing takes too long Beneath its sand, clay and silt Are stones making routes unbuilt… Growing greens too pale to leave in this wong. The same is told of love, life and living How deep we do fall is partly fleeting We tend […]

Drifting in and out of nature through the slippery hands of time, she held her hopes in a yellow texture waiting for the bells to chime. Out of the grey bowl of nothing her thoughts became closer to her than me, I was tied in her head not to be free even if my cracks […]

A story told by the tongue Of how a diluted water changes it sound Wore a sweet face,with a sour shirt. Dancing and wining on a different ground Quarreling with sweet and bitter tastes. On same tongue a sour taste was found Remember the water that was turned into wine? In it midst this poem […]

The shore was asked what it was living for Was it love for the sea or was there more: The touch of water lillies Or caress from the sun’s seas? Is this why it remained ashore for sure? The water is friend and enemy too It has displaced the siblings of a few. Now memory […]

Roaming like air invisibly yes I Know,I will face all an eye for an eye. Installed in my bad habit, With my strength I can’t face it. Will mime the supreme way of saying bye. My demons,yes my demons are all mine. Sometimes I count starting from ninety nine. Sometimes a hundred and one I […]

Dear future wife, How is your love life? Strolling down the street of my thought,I took a U-turn to your junction Because most times your thoughts come with veils of questions. Dear future wife, I can’t imagine how comfort massages you in another man’s arms. How your words lay bricks,building a future you will never […]
