For Bianca
Her name be Purity
Eyes sing of Innocence
And full of inner Beauty
Devoid of all pretense
No trace of hatred there
No doubts, nor even fear
Her very soul laid bare
God's image is all here!

Hacker...The Real One
Tormented by his demons
Misled by vile emotions
In blinded rage
Imagined stage
A morbid tale unfolds
Murder was so cold
The death of five
No one survived
His mind off-track
All were hacked.

Attacked By A Drunk
Perhaps it is futile
To even start
Amends
When all the while
Attacks impart,
Offends
Just watching
In my corner
With a smile beside
When will he be sober
Right now still
Drunk with Pride.

Art of Poetry (Dual Naani 25 Syllables)
Freedom births Art
As its Child of expression
Nurtured by Life's juices
Cradled by its Creativity.
Poetry is such an Art
Existing to be Free
Breathing, Unbridled
For no one can dictate Beauty.

Misty Lives (Naani Form)
Songs are mere phantoms
Of truth that never was
Like fading mists they may become
Sad forgettable lives.
'Naani' is a poetry form of 20-25 syllables in four lines that may or may not rhyme.

Sad Eyes (Cinquain)
Sad eyes
Hide the story
A mystique novel there
Lies in loneliness when Love says
Goodbye.

Comfort in Your Love
Chaos all around
Suffocates my breathe
But then your love surrounds
And lets me placidly forget
Love brings me comfort
To start refreshed in hope
Knowing there is worth
Even at the end of my rope.

Unread
Wearing phylacteries
Embroidered philosophies
Celebrating rituals
Their words sacramental
In true poetic priesthood
Kneel in Self adoration
Burn incense of Deception
Empty praises come
Ad infinitum!

Don't Ask About My Past
Don't ask about my past
I don't live there anymore
With God my life to bless
I got a new address.
All hurts are now erased
Of fears there is no trace
Each day I am amazed
How great His loving Grace!

Never To Return
A dried leaf falls and withers
Never to return to a tree
A life ended will never
Breathe again and...be.
Words said in anger
Can never be unsaid
Wounds caused thereafter
Leave friendship ties...dead.
