you make your prayer
and seize the day

come rain or shine
better or worse

-wedding vows
for the singlet poets

being fully attuned
standing at the cusp
teetering on the forever

I have passed by on the otherside of the road
watching death sweep across the world
I could have sent relief, I could have stooped down
and entered by the narrow gate
But mercy was hidden deep in my heart
I clutched at it, refusing to spread the love.

water under the
bridge has a way of catching
us around the bend

MR

Your face is not a secret

to hide behind a veil.

It is your identity—

show it to the world

with pride.

garbage is everywhere,
village, city, mind or heart,
sweet dreams of bright moon

If you look up
Is it there?
All I see is air
Why do I raise
my arms up
hoping that God
hears my prayer

Is it some kind
of wicked game
we play ?

I never dreamed
I would meet
someone like you

What a deception
fast of feet
What a reception
so incomplete

I raise my
empty hands up
asking God
"Where is my love ?"
