Leave a comment

Dear reader,

Thank you for visiting, liking, subscribing and commenting on this site. It is my pleasure to share snippets of my life and thoughts with you. I appreciate you being here. Whether you are new or an old friend of this site, you are welcomed and your presence matters.

I love to share something delightful with you today. It is always very exciting to see our written work published. Whether it be in a magazine or a literary publication. I personally get goosebumps of happiness seeing my poetry reposted, and published online or offline. It means a lot to me.

Today, I extend my heartfelt thanks to Spillwords for featuring a few of my poems over the last few years. They also did an author’s interview with me and it can be accessed through the below link.

I trust you share this joy with me. In appreciation.
Yours,

MIDNIGHT MUSINGS – ‘Silly Words of Delayed Sleep’

Leave a comment

my friend has a friend and their friend
told my friend ‘s friend about my friend
who knew? we all are now best friends!
….

i was stimulating my visual cortex
watching flames
until the fire in my spine
became double helix
….

my feet are on fire
must have been
fast running
from my duties
….

chances like this don’t come often
until one day when the bag splits open
and they all start pouring out
into the Santa’s lap
….

thoughts are those little flickering specs
that dissapear faster than you can say
i know
….

stop pushing your luck
and instead pull the rabbit
out of the bagpipes
….

don’t ask me what this means
i write what comes unfiltered
like a turkish coffee
….

the sediment is rather dark and deep
the mind is even more so
….

without the freedom to express
the change is very slow
….

got stuck in a heatwave
not a fan!
….

my god who would you have to bless
if you didn’t create me?
….

please put some scense into this
nonsense
….

and i have tumor…typo …two more
….

anticipation is detrimental to health
so i jump into speeches
….

reflecting on our life means
many lived experiences

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Uninspired’

Leave a comment

uplifting tune for the eardrums
finding time to contemplate
being one with the keyboard
gazing at the invisible paper

words anticipated at the fingertips
the calming notes gently moving
the muse still at her latest gig
patiently awaiting her arrival

raindrops falling on the window
what could feed new inspiration
the mind trickster whispers
it’s a piece of cake

distracted by mental imagery of food
the temptation is almost palatable
self discipline comes into play
eat or not to eat now the question

deep breath and still another
follow the rhythmic beats
getting back to the center focus
the key is to move the fingers

what just popped on the screen
acidentaly hit the wrong key
once all cleared now let’s go again
back in pinpointed concentration

last rays of the winter sun dissipated
today is soon to be yesterday
wasted now slowly evaporating
so many words yet no message
gutted



MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘New Angle’

Leave a comment

luminous stars filled the night sky
years away and yet visible to the naked eye
as we sat silently around the fireplace
gazed at the distant galaxies
flames burned away any worries

specs of light thus far in the distance
reminded us of life beyond the daily strife
cries of one in the whole of cosmos
suddenly rather trivial
