Just a simple walk, they promised each other, Two strangers far away from home; Two broken hearts, on a beach, in summer, A chance collision, in the dashing foam. He was tall, gentle, kind and strong, Glasses, hiding eyes deep, dark and sad She was delicate, alive like a song, Glasses, hiding eyes, mysterious, aContinue reading “Clash of the Spectacles”

He comes, he fumbles, he smirks, he tumbles, He opens his mouth and concepts stumble An oblong ball that sways and grumbles He teaches, he preaches, to me it’s pure rubbish When he solves mathematics, it sounds like gibberish When he proves, I wonder, How dumb will be the new blunder His voice lulls aContinue reading “A ball to remember”

On that lonely lane, with the trees so high, Where birds and bees, both sing and fly, Little flowers bloom To say goodbye to gloom, Green meadows spread for miles and miles, Over hilltops and lawns and stiles; Where rabbits hop around the roads And squirrels quarrel under their abodes, The light breeze plays aContinue reading “Dreams”

What was I a year ago?A Sculpture sculpted from years of care.What am I today,don’t know,The sculpture,to heat and rain, laid bare.
