Gadgets World

Never in history of mankind
have been so connected-
smartphones and tablets
make us reachable 24/7
Our lives are filled
with endless distractions
of cellphones.cars alarms.
commuter woes and traffic.
the rhythm of modern life
is punctuation by beeps.bleeps
and generalized attention
deficit disorder
The very gadgets that meant
to simplify our lives
that make us complain or whining
and become losers and make us
out-argue or out-do others
perhaps what is needed is to occasionally silence
all those beeping and flashing
that incessantly demand our attention
and pause to reflect
on whatever we are on course
in our life journey

Color Change

from known to known
fear moves
in a circle, like a cheetah;

a jounery starts
from shivers to shivers –
when it was pouring

the taste of sting
ascending
loosening beside

between the lips
a word strieks,
terror spills from a naked eye,

you move inward
peel off the face
the eternal shame

of mankind, a hunger will miss
the date with a chameleon.

Inward Odyssey

Eating fire, but entangled
in the cobwebs,
of becoming or not becoming
a child again;
in the hollow of a maimed body
looking beyond the opaque
hirsutism
of lies.

Path leads to inward lake
where I will meet you
on the white beach.
And snap the waves.

Let the winds blow now
in reeds,
between cracked heels.

Thank You

Thank you for your dependable strength
that can move mountains
and make believe
that from here to tomorrow
spin a fabulous dreams
Thank you
for treating me so amazing
like no one treats me before
and make me feel and make believe
that anything is possible
Thank you
for flaming the torch of light
the way to how I seek
to what I’m looking for
and for not giving up on me
Thank you
for showering me with all your love
and all your appreciation
with compliments in my imperfect ways
Thank you
for letting me just who I am
thank you for simply being you…

Home Comings

I grew up.eternally homesick
for somewhere else
I grew up.feeling an irrational
sense of solitude each time
I gazed up into the night sky
I grew up.craving imaginary places
yearning for so many things
and when the time came for me
to finally step out into
the wild blue yonder
nothing has quiet as I imagined it
at least not through my eyes
and experiences
and so I grew old
disenchanted by reality
disilusioned by the world around me
the anxiety of venturing
into the unknown
then surely the appreciation
for everything left behind
will always be coupled
with coming home
again eternally homesick
and appreciation will always
evolve of homecomings…

Wreaths On Door (For Suu Kyi)

fingers printed on face
they offered apologies for the mudslide
after the typhoon
standing on the mound
of twisted bones;

the state had the right
to trample and extinguish
a bright flame,
a meteor, streak of dissent

only the sect, the clan
will surround the holy tree
to save the doomed species in the jungle
of laughing hyenas

i see my limbs separated
a piano remains untuned

I Thought You Were My Friend

When we first met
you immediately took charged
and barked orders
my first thought was
“Yikes!so power hungry
I was content to just
go along with the flow
I revealed myself to you
not just extraordinaire.
a self confessed
and a crazy fashion fashion-nerd
but also an odd loving and caring friend
while you on the other hand
a moody and seem to have
always a difficult patch in life
the many time you’d ranted
accused me for being cold.
unsupportive and uncaring
I knew you hated it
whenever I just look at you calmly
and that I’d never asked you
If you’re alright.but you see.
I doesn’t mean I didn’t care
but I thought you were my friend
and I didn’t want
to intrude your privacy
like you always do
I knew you needed help
I understand your weak with insecurities
I’d never make it obvious
but I wanted you to be strong
but frankly I’d never thought
you’d do such things
the back stabbing and all that
and so that’s the end of it
It never really bothered me
that we no longer speak and
I just go about my life and my thing
the friendship that we once shared
It was yours to break and so
that’s the end of it
it’s what you always wanted it to be
the all about you rather than us
from beginning to the end.
