Like a man in his fishing, so is writing.
You throw the fishing rod as if throwing on chances
while anchoring your boat on a chosen spot. In the open water.
And your fishing line sink deep in the ocean of words. You wait
in the hope that the hook lay captive to some imaginary mouths
snapped on a bait, [...]

Enter, then log in
typed pseudonym.
Overrate, appear
to be someone else’s
smart and sassy.
Pimp a profile,
flaunt narcissism
boosting ego.
Tweet the world
on a last night’s gig.
Be something odd.
Somebody cool.
Tell big things,
hip and bubbly.
Charm your way
becoming the only
everybody’s man.
Post Photoshop pictures.
Brag your virility,
your insanities.
Your profanities.
Intrude a firewall
spamming privacy.
Be like a Trojan
killing time
embedding
potential threat.
A virtual stranger.
Lurking leecher
of vain identity.
Bored to death
as a tombstone.
Limbo [...]

No string quartet.
No conductor to signal the baton.
No orchestra to anticipate my usual swoon
of randomly plucked staccato
alternating octaves
like a mad man in Vienna.
Alone in the stage,
I would linger
unvigorous in vibrato,
punctuating this sadness
in glissando. A solo part- how I wish
to serenade the muse. Longing
to tell her story in music-
under the sweet delicate pitch
sorrow of Cremona.
The episodes, I have written on
mellow [...]

He is a hunter
who journeyed to cross,
armed with a sword
this celestial ocean of love.
In an odyssey orbiting space
spanning lightyears
deep into the galaxy.
He navigates
on the clear night sky
pulsating with hope.
A voyage only to find
his happiness. A tryst
with the meteor showers
and constellations.
One sad winter solstice,
as he tried opening
the heaven’s gates.
He eclipsed by the moon.
Tonight, this autumn
in its [...]

Let the slant of light
create the faded shadows
on a misty afternoon
such as this. The cold air
encroaching by my bed,
please sit beside me.
Your embrace I dream
feeling your warmth.
See, I am not crying.
I am not afraid anymore
of the dark sky. For I see,
shining in the distance,
a bridge spanning a chasm
between us. Wait no longer.
Will you hold my [...]

I hug my bag closer,
seeking comfort of a mother
wondering why,
in the midst of strangers,
seated in a row,
seeing life as hard
as the wooden table.
I dread writing,
clutching each force,
engraving the words
to a fragile memory wall
of that tiny classroom,
I cannot understand.
I wish I could go home
content, isolated from distraction.
And wait for a mother
to teach me the alphabet
unhurriedly without
pressure.
Even [...]

That is when I would want to stop
thinking about numbers. Straining my eyes
glued to the pages of the calendar
pinned on the wall, I marked of days
in and out. In a work life punching timecard.
You never knew how stressful it was,
to run alongside the clock ticking deadline.
And seeing life like a finish line,
guessing as if today [...]

The walls are coarse to touch, hard and steely,
it was a challenge not to see but to feel with our fingers
sharp points that will prick a skin and bleed. By then
the grave of the earth has avenged its loss. The stair
is a winding wonder of wooden realm. Forest scent
permeates like sweat staining musk to the [...]
