Wanderer 24-08-25

Who isn't a wanderer?
Guided by dispersing clouds
hoping to glimpse the moon.

A Christmas Carol 24-12-2023

It was in a land many many years ago,
underneath the festive lights and fleeting snow
that a yuletide tale of love and hope
was sang like a ballad and spread like smoke.

Her eyes, a midnight blue and sprinkled with gold
and his, silvery, that flashed like tinsel.
In mutual company they found a home,
a melody sweet where their hearts

The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 24, 25 and 26

Part Twenty-Four — The Fifth Cupbearer's Song

O Saqi, one glance—show mercy here,
And heal this wound with wine so clear.

Fill up the cup for we are dry,
Drunk with desire that makes us sigh.

That cup like chalice of the kings,
Whose breath brought joy to all good things.

A draught that when it's poured for any,
Banishes sorrow, heals so

24 Hours

24 Hours

Morning is through
The afternoon is in bloom.
Dusk has arrived,
With a rainbow sky.
The night is clear,
Crisp is the air.
The stars are bright,
They twinkle with light.
The moon is full,
And milky white.
The sun gives way
To the start of a new day.

Repetitions - Apr 24

I’ve come to—k(now), the sobering conclusion
that I must be a lunatic; else what
sufficiently explains the smirking smut
clouding my judgment?—what viscous illusion—

outright{(diagnosable[,perhaps)delusion]},—
persuades me to heed your haughty strut?
Each inch of every corner of my gut
is begging—not—accept—refuse—intrusion.

ah!, but I budge, I give in to temptation!
why,why,why must I make the same mistake
instead of just quite well so simply

Heavenly Body - Mar 18-24

I’ve seen it, late those myriad afternoons—
A twilight blush, first waiting patiently
to welcome back your scintillating beauty,
next succumbing to your mild midnight swoons;

Your sapphire eyes then gleamed as glowing moons—
Though here facing me, near enough to see,
distantly they shone, reflecting the glee	?of more divinely animated tunes;

Yet, stretching out, I could not seem to reach
your spirit,

In Practice - Feb 24

The present prince of Prussia prances proudly
With preaching priests, while prattling proles suppress
The primal pressure to prank the pretext
Of proper praise for the precious primate.

Friction 09-5-24

Flooded by falling petals,
shadows embrace like lovers,
shoulders brush past a stranger.

2025 2 24

2024.2.24
One month passed since we first met.
Although we sat 1.5m apart,
We hardly interacted with each other.
Except when I needed to ask you some favours.
Today, you glanced at my computer,
You were surprised to see,
I wrote something not in English.
You confirmed that was your language.
You soon realised they were birthday wishes,
Had prepared in Europian language,
To be placed

A shred of light 16-06-24

Fireflies are the sun's cremains
as it sinks beneath a bed of sunflowers,
your intimate shadow dissolving
in the mosaic of patterned disks,
lifted away -in shreds- by the wind.

Solitude, a friend 24-03-23

Solitude a reliable friend,
one that accompanies me
to the world's end.
He's quiet and shy,
hidden away from others
appearing only when I am alone,
in the depths of the night.

When I am left with just my thoughts,
it comes and finds me, to support
as i lay there on those silent evenings,
deep in contemplation.
He helps me clear my mind.

In his embrace

Farewell 29-04-24

summer winds softly
softly tear at the tissue
of sinking sunsets.
