When one is frightened of the truth then it is never the whole truth that one has an inkling of.

The Spider Web

No stronger than
A gossamer thread
To be brushed aside
No inkling
Of what drama
May have passed
In the night
Or what life
Was lost.

I remember that, although I was full of fervour, I didn't have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. It was in the air!

To a New Poet...

he who writes a poem
marks a road with many stones
gathers leaves and
does not burn them
plants a seed and leaves it
to grow
wild as a forest
lives for a while and then goes away
in a faraway place
without any inkling
of coming back

Facebook

Facebook
faces, faces, faces
just faces

Facebook
3500 friends half of whom
he has no inkling about

Facebook
he stares at the faces
he hardly knows

Facebook
faces and faces
he hardly knows

Facebook
an adult returns to kid's world
poke me, poke me

Whimper

a whisper can
lead to a whimper
and one thing may
lead to another
like some whining
when the liking is
not the inkling, and
then you stay out
and not be counted
like those still lining
for the paining, and
then claim
you like the Mesmer.

Inspiration

If inner inkling ignites image, intelligent ideals indelibly inaugurate it.
Imagine involvement improving immobile, inequitable inefficiencies.

Insufferable, inconsequential instances invite indifference in individuals.
Inversely, inspiration is infinite impact initiating improvement immediately.

Passion

i walk the beach aimlessly
in the dead of night alone
looking for adventure but
only chance upon a man
who looks over the sea -
he is so quiet and steady
in concentration i feel strange
until i get an inkling his broad
body shields a passion
rougher than the sea
is all about to explode

Dinner For Two

at the 38th floor
i got a dinner date
with you:

sashimi, maki,
oysters, sea urchins,
duck meat, red wine
and the whole view
of cebu,

you put me in the box
to an affair
that you do not like to
remember

could be my ex?
or a new wanna be?
or just a fling?
another inkling?

Net Of Fate

Under the rolling waves
Of the mighty sea
The fishes
That were darting
To and fro
Till the last minute
With no inkling
Of what the future held
Are unawares
Caught
In the fisherman's net!

Over this sprawling earth
The men
Dive
Now in the sea of happiness
With love and hope
Sink
Then in the ocean of grief
With a tear and fear
