I wonder of the breath that preceded the yawn, I wonder of the calm that followed the storm, I wonder of the death before being born, and wonder of the night that fell before the dawn I wonder how what shall come has already been done, I wonder of the ‘be’ that was … Continue reading »
Vice – coveter of lenses. Our pre-tense Overlay with pretences We pretended… Preoccupied As then recommended. Now we look on post sense of tension we mention, post-interventions and we post the question… how else it could have ended. Epidemic of fever, caught diseases no caution and heedless, yet talk of treatments how frequently, we … Continue reading »
Reblogged from evolve and ascend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=WibmcsEGLKo&NR=1 The speech in this clip was taken from Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, a film which was made in 1940 and was extremely controversial at the time. Watching this now, in 2013, I can’t help but feel that although we have “progressed” since Nazi Germany, it seems as though … Continue reading »
Now monuments, once moments of euphoric majesty, Momentum gained, and we lost much in its speed, Prosperity of progenies, and potential prodigies, Whisked away, from fruitful forests to tumbleweeds. I have written of regrets and how they mustn’t erode us, Yet my pen testifies to a hypocrite’s mind – plagued. I’d throw the ring … Continue reading »
Once solitude in this treasure chest Yet from all directions now – scathed and torn Be it sleeve or breast, for you to rest.. I contest, where best you are worn.

You are so much more… than figures on a payslip than the manifestation of hatred or musings of a stereotypical racist You are so much more… than the player of cards than her gamble with hearts than his ride down the park You are so much more… than a position or job title … Continue reading »
First time in decades, they rose to their feet, Realising where their hope lay, conceding defeat, A great feat, how successive pitfalls had led to this moment, Now no more doors to open, the light inside had shown them, Standing in front of their Lord, while time had been so generous, Submitting to His splendour, … Continue reading »
Deceptive the sun, that speaks not of winds in its presence Or when bright blue skies forecast not rain, to descend from heavens Clouds of May, may hide their greys UV rays, may transcend shades Direct gaze, may scorn and graze As nights draw, to fall upon days Trees grow, until they’re chopped … Continue reading »
Possibilities beyond quantification, In a paradox of paralysing limitations, Beneath endless skies and horizons, We are but specs among specs. Yet we are planets amidst planets, Solar systems within our anatomy, Lustful appetites left us famished, Vivid dreamers in a phantom sleep. How bittersweet this reality, Teaches love and taunts with anguish, Where … Continue reading »
