Premium MemberSheen in the Afterglow

A silver brush stroke
turns rose thorns into blossoms,
fangs into white shells
lion roar hums you befriend~
while shadows follow your feats

mist makes a palace
where puddles and weeds had been
you drink the shimmer~
never asking what lies shrill
behind the painted curtain.

the day peels scene back
the crown, only thorns in sun
shows what's becoming~
smoothing the frown from your brow,
following in afterglow

Is knowing what's known
enough, or must you know it
beyond the pretense
to feelings and perception ~
with bright light glow in its shine

A Shining Afterglow

we have rambled together
        along the Ganges river
	just you and me
	gazing at each other
we have trodden together
       	the streets of Bombay
	through narrow 
         tortuous lanes

afterglow

A family of ducks and ducklings decided to cross noon road,
an old man slowed down his slower gait, stood on road to halt traffic,
when birds were safe, he went back to his place feeling happy like god
He did not see that the thankful hen clucked and nodded at him too.

Premium MemberSutra Afterglow


Sails an evening when breaths lay quietly
         On obscure places fluid as winds,
Where afterglow  of joy becomes a
                      hammock
lulling frayed veins with lemongrass tea.

Sails an

Dancing beneath the celestial tapestry,  
Each tender touch and warm embrace ignites her joy,  
A radiant warmth lingers like the twilight’s kiss,  
As love deepens, weaving threads of passion ever tighter.

It echoes the canvas of a setting sun,  
Where the horizon bleeds into a symphony of colors,  
Yet shadows loom,

Premium MemberAfterglow

When the existential magic disappears
And life holds nothing more than
my terrestrial tears and frivolous fears
When feeding my mind is no longer empirical 
Or essential, as human hunger suffices, 
when I no longer thirst, and eminence gives no rise,
and sullen shibumi canopies worn and torn
shade not the arid and hot desert, once the lofty
snow summits forthwith

T i m e ~ you are the spark
  that tips the scales 
             of lovestruck heartbeats,
  ricocheting glyphs of fairness,
             etched with gold and silver.
Yet seasons of smoke

bask with me, sweetheart, 
in the a f t e r g l o w
of gloaming sunset.
by nightfall, let's smile
with the crescent moon,

sing with the birds,
sigh with the wind,
wink at the stars; 
all snuggled up...

in comfort,
if you feel
so inclined.

well, what 
do you 

say?

AFTERGLOW

AFTERGLOW

The sound when all nuclear particles smash
And now that a bomb has been detonated
The deafening roar follows a blinding flash
Impatient tigger fingers should have waited
Deep in the motivation, there’s always cash
But now too late to be investigated
And soon it will be the end that we all know
With an ironic nod in the afterglow

Premium MemberHelene, the afterglow


Shouting, over the sounds of rain, feelings
more commanding than the season’s pain
erasing the hope from hearts, but who’s to blame
for the night’s lure in pieces of yesterdays
wondering, unclear which prayer to plead
will the season tell her story in dark – it feels insane

no more moments – winds tell the still night
burning with fires more potent

Premium MemberEpitome Of Afterglow


The smoky dust screen blows away far into the halcyon horizon,
the flotilla of cotton cloud sails in the concave depth of cobalt.
Bowed down slender blades of cinnamon grass sway
in the crisp air on the lap of meadow that has turned fawn. 

Lining the sun-burnt cinnabar garden path paved anew,  
the dry trunks of the

    In the haze of the evening sun
    Let the wind dry your tears
    Neptune fork, used wisely on the rough waves
    Everything we fear and everything we hope for
    - truce to God
    At some point
