They want to feel his pulse, they want to know his goal  They are playing soul, but he’s doing the rock and roll  They are looking for him, to get him; but he is all too bold  He is not young to plunge, but can never grow too old  The streets are aflame, still tryingContinue reading “Everybody’s looking for Jack, Jacob, Yakov: A poem “

I place my elbows on the windowsill  and try to take succour in the pouring rain  It is an effort that takes huge will  after being shattered time and again  If I spy the peep of the gods,  will they call my name?  Reminding me of the battles, evens and odds  and the tribulations ofContinue reading “Determination: A poem “

In my mind, are seeds that never seem to sprout  The soil is bare with my skull’s all too painful  gout  Empty words spring forth from a flaccid tongue  I breathe ideas like I depend on a single lung  I feel free as a tree ever chained to its roots  Heavy are my wrought ironContinue reading “My desert: A poem “

This mid-life became fecund after the waiting  This walk with destiny and its endless baiting  This tide of stormy wind and intervals of abating  This bubble of seamless happiness inflating  Till then, on the tortuous path feeling quietly alone  Yet, turning gleaming baubles from intrepid stone  And memories of lifetimes flying over me like aContinue reading “My Sarah: A poem “

The shadows come  to pay the sum  Every little pain  leaves a stain  But it is gold  to behold  the universe unfold  Darkness is only old  These aeons pass  But a legacy lasts  When a new age dawns  its freshness warms   This breeze will stay  The earth will its swords lay  when the messiah’s resoluteContinue reading “The messiah’s word: A poem “

I can think of you, above all, dear Mum  in solitude, till the very last little crumb  A picture reposed silently on my thumb  This grain of pain. This desolate humdrum  And I can think of the wicked ways of some  Who don’t even the smallest cruelty shun  Yet, your duty was compelling, your sacrifice Continue reading “I think of you brave Mum: A poem “
