In a world of Divine

Prophecies

Of all kinds,

Little wonder

A Mantis

Folds green limbs

To Life’s design.

Water-worn by the ages

By the floods

By the rain,

Time has carved

Eras’ layers

Through the rock

Grain by grain.

Scars of years

Line the wadi

To funnel life –

None in vain.

In a city that

Never

Sleeps

It soars high,

With the weight of the

World

Hollowed out,

Scraping sky.

They called them “The Twins”

And termed them inseparable.

Though they each had a name

Using those seemed interminable.

There was ease in regarding

Two beings at once

When the duo rarely gave

Singularity a chance.

Merriam-Webster’s word for June 12, 2018:

Epithet

Bravely blooms

Buds await

In scaly wombs

Till it tastes

Sun’s perfume.

How does time spiral on itself

Even as it unfolds to expand

Outwards?

How do the faces that your mind recalls

Rekindle scenes that take you

Backwards?

And how do those refill your hand

With all of what you’re working

Towards?

Maybe it is all as it should

As long as tender hearts reflect their kindness

Onwards.

Hold my hand

And we’ll go

Up the hill

As we sow

Seeds of light

For the thrill

Of just watching

You grow.

Surely all would admit

Something here does not fit

King or not

No one ought

To require this bed

For their camped royal head.

Optimistic in nature

Does not mean roseate

For reality may

Introduce caveat

Of the need to remember

Many times of ill fate

While never forgetting

The good we can create.

Merriam-Webster’s word for June 10, 2018:
