Was I a falling leaf in autumnal cold, just as I was several leaves wispily falling into the earth’s fold? Did I turn over so often in the wind, and die, just to see you smile… Just to have the picture of your face, your soul, frozen in my dead eye! I think, even ifContinue reading “You and I, our patience and sublimeness are the sounds in a whispering gallery!: A poem”

The poet goes hungry if he has no words to pick from the dish in the kitchen of his lexicon to suit his imagination! If he was a gourmet without the recipe!

There is a lump in my throat! Would the invectives keep pouring out? Do IContinue reading “The fundamentals and the technicals!: A poem”

Do you remember I was you, and you were me? Were weContinue reading “Alone together (as I think of you, baby girl): A poem”
