wildbillowsUmbrellaI wait at the bus stop as usual to catch the last bus home. I've come to know a few others who take this bus and smile at them as they arrive to wait with me. I say "hi" and make small talk with a few of them. I don't know any of them well, and we usually stop talking when the bus arrives. Today is no different. The bus arrives and I get in line behind two other middle-aged men who are dressed like they just left the gym. I think to myself "I used to wear clothes...

wildbillows3 aren't enoughI wish we didn't fear death I wish we didn't equate wealth with security I wish we allowed ourselves to be wrong sometimes I wish we trusted more and worried less I wish we focused more on our similarities than differences I wish we valued all life and not just our own I wish we could stop doing things because they're easy I wish we could do away with all dogmas which segregate I wish we practiced more kindness, instead of diplomacy

wildbillowsYoursYou are unique. Your standards are your own. You are enough. Your beliefs need no justification. You are complete. Your failures and disappointments don't define you. You deserve love. Your flaws make you you. You are not a slave to the past. Your present is your creation. You are broken, challenged, overcome, trying, hoping, living Your path awaits

wildbillowsThe Valley of ShadowsWhere the light never reaches Only faint sounds trickle through Good company for overcast nights Ramshackle meals by campfires Slow-cooked to kill the boredom A foreboding stream for water Murky under the waning moon As the pail sinks into the opaque soot Forlorn sparks appear in ripples Somewhere a hyena laughs Worn reeds a pauper’s bedding Ashen coals from the dying flame Eyes close to caress the despair The night settles like a frigid blanket Narrow coffins await us there

wildbillowsvanaSilently it beckons Strums of lyres and whispers of sinister realms Sprouting needles of desire Tickling soles to explore Foliage blinds the sun Flickering lights of fireflies and glowworms Twinkling gems in the underbrush Tugging the tails of moonbeams The core a copy of the exterior Shades of black and silver Blurring the lines of before and now Leaving no trace

wildbillowsFatalisticWhether the stars disintegrate The earth spins off its axis Thrown to the ends of space A lifeless rock Aimless Whether everything we say and do All our passioned moments and rage Collective burnt offerings like ashes To gods that men have drawn and idolized Timeless Whether my love is wasted or found wanting Two steps back to watch the carnage begin Our lives entangled in the strings we knot Tighter like nooses around our necks To drag us to the gates of...

wildbillowsVermilionWaves of a chain of hills Sharp peaks of exclamation A roaring waterfall Carving shapes in ancient sediments Fragrance of wildflowers Countless perfumes would fall short of words And your lips Forests of earthy bamboo Creaking in an alien tongue Mazes of reeds in the marsh Whistling to nature’s dance Pristine ice adorning a crevice Cloaking death with bursts of light Burning sand that tires the strong A mirage of oases to seduce And your lips

wildbillowsDrawThe sky was the last place he ever saw her face. On moonlit night, with the apartment’s backup generator grumbling a thumping rhythm, the memories strummed his soul a melody. Like everyone before her, she had lit up his existence for a brief moment in time, then flickered and waned. Snuffed out like a candle at the break of dawn. A brighter light, a sweeter promise, a softer fall as he learnt to maneuver the valleys between the peaks. The ecstasy overshadowing the imminent disappointment. You see, he didn’t understand that love coul...

Would you shriek and scream in ecstasy Or whisper in soundless utterings All the secrets you...
