Runner

Keep on running,

do not look back. It is the life that we have been born to live,

do not turn, just run.

it will swallow the whole thing and then everything will be over in a second

run

 

run

just keep on running

when the sunrise,

we can catch a breath

life resumes at the sunrise

we will live on

so now,

just run

run.

Gutter

A Tunisian road laid plain dustily
Under the vast pale milk blue sky
Shrubs of olive grove and orange trees
Shaking their branches lightly

In shadows next to the road,
The gutter laid quietly
Half-tarred cigarette butts
Frogs groaned lazily in the mud

A boy walking past by it
Picked up a white crayon
Whistling a sharp white tune
The boy scratched it against a wall.

‘Hello.’

Bang bang

Run, run!

It’s eroding away, lurking on highway,

Don’t turn, don’t think, look ahead

Ready for jump, jump, jump!

Bang!

You’re dead, you’re dead!

Run as fast as you can, rattle your lung to breath! Forget the ‘please’ Forget the ‘can I’!

The End is as thin as this air!

Bang!

Ah, the chaos! Ah, the tragedy! Ah, the euphoria!

Ao! Ao! Ao!

What fame, what name, what a game!

Bang!

Flash fiction

It’s sharper than you think.

It’s faster than you think.

It’s larger than you think.

When you opened your eyelids,

It’s already too late.

You won’t remember,

You won’t realize.

It’s a blind dance.

It’s a journey of a light.

It’s a sad story.

Time. Perhaps it is time that matters.

Caring. Perhaps it is the care that matters.

Pain. Perhaps it is the pain that matters.

Whatever was, was.

Whatever will be, will be.

Whatever is, is.

Open your eyes.

Love the world yourself.

Effervescence

Albeit a momentary touch,

I cherish it. I am thankful

For the asteroids that I kiss

Though I do long for a bondage

Like a moon to an earth.

Dark space above our head

Just spins bounces

too many chances

For us to spin again together.

Once again.

Here and now,

We keep our fire into the void.

Whiplash

A study lackadaisically murmurs a mundane conundrum that when brains are soaped with mnemonics, formulaic equations, and unhappy fact-checks, it shines at a hint of human warmth like a smile of a puppy tied to a parking meter outside on a snowy street with its dirty slush and squashed snow flakes when its owner comes out of a Starbucks with two venti vanilla latte in hands.

Hand in hand, we embrace for the winter, a conspicuous arena for the Sysiphusian battle. Blowing warmth into our hands, eyes glistens with sweat and tears.

Where

Where will you be

When the METEOR falls onto the roof

An ascension from the apogee of apotheosis,

Coy collusion of coteries,

Will your intrepid pluck be your auspicious aegis,

Will you pristine sagacity be your halcyonic alacrity

Where will you be

What will you do

When the METEOR falls onto the roof

Sprout

To an incipient revelry,

Death paid a visit.

Introduction; Cognoscenti of all the dances and all the wisdom of the world.

Nascent bulb blithely beamed; perhaps not so keen

On the carnal limits within this effervescent hourglass.

But a bulb is a bulb. What can it do?

It will breath in the air,

Soak in the moist,

Boldly grow.

Grow, bulb. Grow.

Grow larger than the Death.

Shine

Remember coldest darkness shines the smallest incandescent candle light.

Scary skeletons are what kept you going when things fell down to floor

Nagging neighbors and obnoxious passerby were who cared about you

When things took a different turn.

Try believing.
