I left before you were taken to the pyre. Not a tear when your mum and I hugged. I lied to her, "She'll be with us." I saw your abuser but I didn't bash his face in. They wanted us cursèd ghosts out of their #orbital. In my cave, I laugh and scream, "She'll be with us." #vss365

Long ago, I had the luck To compare the #lambent sunrise And the look you gave me. Curled up against each other, We forgot it’s bad luck To compare the sublime. So long ago. #vss365

#Democracy is the only system of government which shows without any reasonable doubt that the majority has chosen a narcissistic psychopath as a leader.

In the good ol' days, democracies chose leaders & governments that gave the masses the chance to say, "No one else has a bigger joker.". Now, even democracies don't allow that freedom. #justsaying

The day before the end of the world, I prayed for a companion till the end, Good gods misconstrued that as #abstraction of the end, Bad gods took it as gallows humour. #vss365

To #survive I left All that I used to call life. Maya, anyway. #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

Yesterday, a cousin hanged herself. For an hour, it was all about her. For 30 minutes, we accused her spouse. For 10, her kids. M-in-law, of course. Lowered our heads, Watched reels on mobile, Noted callertunes not prayers, Was hers Mission Impossible or Total #Recall? #vss365

Matutinal hope Ends with #vespertine prayer. Waxing waning love. #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

What was I thinking When all seemed #achievable? Some flicker of luck, probably, Dreams of grandeur too, Did I hope my life would Allow that which others get? #vss365

“But there could be...” “Others? Last one was a poet. Tender soul. #History feeds him stories, the present’s a grief and the future’s non-existent. He strives for penury. For freedom’s sake, his emotions revolve around his words.” “Wouldn’t life be better with him?” #vss365

If only I could swallow the disgust Disgust I can't keep within me, Each time a #creep who has never Never stood alone, fought and lost, Talks big, loud and with a gang Gang up on a person with principles. #vss365

15 relatives, 4 friends, 1 enemy and 3 unexpected at my funeral. The enemy stands next to my love. Hand in hand. Would have made sense if they had killed me. One of those 3 did that. Love #unseen? A hate Inexplicable? Is it Indifference? Damn! #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

23 politicians killed. In 8 countries. Left without the soul. That's not in the forensic report. But, soul-dead they were. Alive but lifeless. What's new? They left #ash sans fire. The killer is an alien. Did they start with the easiest targets? #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

Love hates #scrutiny. Oh! Don't ask why I'm pissed off When you don't turn up. #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

I don't like leaders, Castrated ram with a bell, #Bellwether of hate. #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

Morning exercise: #Reinvigorate love with A helping of lust. #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

Love poem's ready. Should I include #extrusion? Double entendre? #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

These days, I heed not #Bearable fickle nature. Flimsy relations. #vss365 #haiku #senryu ?

Can you see the ghost Standing there at that window Blocking not the dusk-lit corridor Staring at nothingness Or is it a reflection Of me and an unsure past That technicolour #wrapper An empty waste not discarded? #vss365
