Poetry

"...Carrying away and devouring all..."

"...winds blowing snow through the bare oak trees..."

"...There was no heaven and earth at that time..."

"...sit under the graying light of the foolish full moon..."

"...hearts, birds, brains and mountains crumble into a long dust sigh..."

"...Nurture her for a better berthing..."

"...It's more than a crap shoot..."

"...The door was ajar..."

"...like a twelve foot mako shark..."

"...there are still many who wonder..."

"...make angel wings of heartbreak..."

"...when you and i were together..."

"...Maybe those words would affect someone who truly gave a damn..."

"...The Bulawayans were livid about many, many peculiar issues..."

"...To see what's crumbled, this brave new world, our inheritance..."

"...Charming me with the flirtation of beauties..."

"...Seeking meaning in meaninglessness..."

"...full of ink and blade..."

"...And it's alright and it's okay..."

"...there is hope even if you disbelieve it..."

"There will not always be happiness in life..."

"Ghats, narrow lanes, sand, temples, river..."

"...I recognise her from the past, From the foot of creation..."

"...just enough white to make it interesting..."
