Strange Echoes

a kiss
on lips, returns with a blunt style,
in perfumed demeanor !

i did not hear
with absolute eyes, a captive
in chained feet, for self-defence;


all the shades of red
were walking on ocean,
a black skull glides:

the night fills in pores-
the gale, kills the black bucks,
poachers were on run !

in telling, the wizard
entices, you will never know
full toll of civil war:

he turns down a gift of speech;
words and whistles were surreal echoes
and I see a sword like nose

Jim, Yes, it is dark. I am accused of most of the poems.Where is our world heading with so muchvoilence all around the earth. How do I close my eyes. This rising fundamentalism,terror,blasts, intrigues. Yes it flows out of the anguish spontaneously Satish
