Gypsy Cabin Blues
Holding tight to her green and arid sierra shawls,
she peers over a fresco valley set in leprechaun gold.
Like a megalithic Buddha she rests on a boulder's shoulder
beneath a thulian sky lit by a gingerline disco sun.
Our Hearts

Trading A Soul
Home is in your arms.
And warmth is in your laughs
Right where peace lost its charms.
And logic laid down its arms.

I smiled back.
Or was I the first to smile
and she smiled back?
I don’t remember.

Tissues and Crookedness

Can you pick your phone back once more?
Dial my number for the first time in nine years.
Say your hello again and I'll say mine sweeter.
My Journey As A Writer
This was the time when writing
escalated through my heart
and I escaped from the darkness.
I turned into a nomad from then,
I swam the ocean of quotes,
traveled from the countries of verses
to the valleys of poems and then

no matter how I try to play it in my mind
wrong equals wrong
and right will always be right
Thou
There's still
One life left.
Only to find in the end...
That the missing piece
Is you...

S U N
You took everything, leaving me with emptiness.
Emptier than how I used to.
Maybe I don't deserve anyone.
For I now have nothing.
