The pen leaves a trail
of thoughts
capturing precise moments and make-believes.
Energy flows from the mind to the hand,
giving birth to masterpieces made
from bits and pieces
of what-ifs and has-beens.
You can’t burn, delete or tear up
my mind’s imprint of my shadow across the keyboard
or the palette or the paper.
The final work is saved and archived
In my memory stick.

how I sing my song how I play the piano how I recite the poem how I tell the story of you How I recognize you How I know it’s you I am afraid.

Feet up on the seat 4. People’s unwanted and unnecessary reactions All of these have the effect of irritation leading to concentration loss. The excitement of watching movies in a wide screen, with dolby stereo sound system just dissipates with the presence of numbers 1 to 4. I realized that watching films at home is a much better option. Though reading has the risk of unwelcome interruptions from the kids, these interruptions are bearable because they are my kids after all. One can always find the ...

The Disappeared Series

Coffee, tea and you A long, long time ago A time and place buried in the trunk with your baby socks You asked for milk. An uncomplicated thing, really. You smiled at me with milk mustache. Then you switched to chocolate drinks, then discovered soda. When you moved on to the occasional beer, You discovered my favorite coffee To chase the hangovers away You started drinking tea In your new found calling And brought some home from places I have never heard of even if it was in my own country A world that I only see on the news With problems too complicated for me to fathom You once compared it to my weaving where each Complication runs over then under the other Making a bigger patchwork to form a blanket that can cover us all I almost understood it then But you had to rush off to a meeting Or a rally I caught a whiff of gin in your breath I was too amazed at your passion to try to question what you do Until I heard that you are not coming home For now… Maybe...
