In the folds of night as a wave, you came
Charioted in a filmy dream
All night you were with me
And in love's uncharted land, we roamed
...
Pain and suffering, I often see around
Though now I don't have them to seriously confront
Yet a nameless unease weighs me down
At the sight of hundreds cruelly beaten down
...
Across the sky is a blaze of gold
When the dawn quietly begins to unfold
Each morn is a fresh wonder
As the night willfully bows down to surrender
...
Summer like an eagle has swooped down
Under its tearing claws, the Earth shrieks and groans
The days and nights breathe out the stench of dribbling sweat
Roads rage and roofs steam like an overly heated pan
...
In the Kingdom of Fools, there was a poet
Who thought his poems were really great
Was a man of high pretence
But what he wrote made no sense.
...
As a molten drop of wax
runs down
from a dying candle,
a single drop of tear
...
I stared into the mirror,
Wincing at my own reflection
Through eyes fogged by cataract,
Saw a black tint spreading around my eyes
...
As Corona strikes, world is in standstill
All around, we witness its massive kill
Terrible is the sight
We're groping in the night
...
When Faith turns fanatic,
When mind, like a sponge soaked in dogma,
When the lure of money overrides,
When reason is hoodwinked
...
"Shouldn't we observe our jubilee", asked Bri
"Shall we go out and have a turkey fry"?
In words as sharp as a knife,
Replied his angry wife.
