AshesThe cafe burnt alive as soon as you
Set your patent leather boot inside
And walked right into this unknown,
Mysterious yet familiar world
Of witty writers and pious poets
With their poetic pens.
My tantalizing timid eyes
Met your musically amused eyes,
And I heard a symphony unsung,
Strange, how can you be just a stranger,
When your eyes can speak so...

your eyes tonightas i float among the stars,
i wonder how far we are,
those golden twinkles,
that shine so bright,
its not the stars its your eyes tonight,
looking at you with love in my heart,
i pray to the stars that we never part,
parting from you would really hurt me,
in so many ways that you can not see
and...

I no longer know BeautyI
forget—
like how leaves forget their tree
once autumn called them free.
Moments slip and leave
an unsettling void
for dreams to flourish.
Uninvited, wearing
the mask of memory.
A fiction sung in earnest,
stitched in gray hours—
where dreams blend into truth.
A hushed whisper:
“Beauty is truth,”—but
I wouldn’t know
if the echoes I call "mine"
ever rang—
I am built
of broken facts,
soft edits,
and pills that patch up
what...

Memory Revisitingblack cherry dusk skies
and moon rose, it was silver
butterfly quivers
the gemmed stars were out
and Mom tending blooms, singing
clematis clinging
jade dragonfly lake
comes again in memory
with anemones
Dad had just come home
one yesterday of my life
when roses were rife...

The Hidden Paan Shop
Hidden beneath the leaves of trees is a blue shop -
Gleefully I smile; half - construed but true shop.
No soul in sight, parking heedlessly, now I plight -
Wearing chapals, I go in - flight to this new shop.
Entering, I see a man’s mouthy visage -
Working he spits in a silver bowl in this rue...

Is a Mirror Just a MirrorA mirror isn't just a frame,
A sheet of glass that speaks your name.
It shows your image. Yes, it's true–
But now the whole of what is you.
It doesn't bend, it doesn't fake,
It captures truths you cannot break.
But mirror hide in the other forms–
In quiet thoughts, in silence storms.
In words that bruise, in eyes that...

the Jewish coupleThe Jewish couple
I have written about this before, but somehow
didn't get it right
My perceived brusqueness made them think of Cracow,
they had fled, their relatives lost in the turbulence
of a war where they, as civilians,
but Jews had their life made into nightmares.
There was a small sweet shop near my café,
selling my chocolate with nuts,...

Hubs Of HeavenCatalytic cascade of mirror gleam relish on sleep encrusted eyes,
such sylvan surreal therapy aligned to dulcet bird lilt,
garnish to the willow weave wayfarer of iridescent poetic inkling,
vernal vivid verse drought a derelict damnation for those who implore heaven’s intercession,
a world endowed with luxuriant canvas whose ample acme is bestrewn with hue etched serpentine...

Edgar Allan Poe
It is the desire of the moth
for the star…..
- Edgar Allan Poe
I awoke this morning
to find the powdery imprint
of wings on a window
that must have been left
by a moth trying
to get in when it
careered full...

Still, I am fineTime flies so fast, and so do I,
Never knowing what happiness is
Yet I search for eternal places—
Still, I am fine.
Those who nurse a grudge
And Inflict their pain on me.
Never knowing what beauty is
Yet I search for eternal places—
Still, I am...

Deep Within
Is it not simple
These words I portray
Leaving one in thought
To pass the day away
I watch the raging river
Sunlight glisten
Upon the leaves
Reminiscing
A day so long ago
Of a child young
And free
Of all the stones gathered
Piled high to conceive
A fortress of golden light
To Fulfill a yearning need
Of lemon yellow blossoms
Lavender frills
And a beautiful
Song
The lofty hills consider
Twinning...
