In the absence of ink—in a nexus of poetic dreams,
Anathematized by disconsolate on nebulous beams,
Whispers of unwritten absence, inveigled by fate,
Decry solace...

The majestic moon abjured her light,
      beneath a clear and starless night;
Between the heaves of her first winter storm,
      snow gently falls with alluring charm.
Twilight glistens on the frosty swirling air

Show them that a fair deal is still one to be honoured in your shores
             no one will take more than what is his earned share

A poem for my Orion 
Who cowers in the sky
For many years, his faithful hunting dog 
Was always by his side. 

“Orion you are iniquitous, 
You do not shine so bright.” 
The dog's thoughts were ubiquitous
He would go there tonight.

He made his way there hurriedly

        enslaved by your own kind who hanker after conditioning platitudes
        the clubby comfort of secretly oath-taking power cliques

Smiles o' that clown, and jokes,
As he whispers into my ears,
Then fill my eyes,
With nothing, but tears.
Felt me, that he is gon dine,
The chills, which run down my spine,
His hysterical face and hat combine,

Until I too was branded on your canvas’

Some tawdry amusement you secrete
Only to emerge in your tenebrous off time
A murmured melodious beat
To make a pedestrian appear...

I am a butterfly girl
I wanna whirl the world
No no no no! No enemies
No no! No need of boundaries
I am a butterfly girl...

La la la la..Doffed my old skin

Persistence and patience are my favourites
Which deliberately moulded my path right
Fear...

The Amourette Autopsy 
 
In vesper’s curt caress there seems no bind 
To daylight’s brim or morning’s dire decree- 
Your vertigo embrace confounded vows, 
Within a steel wheeled cauldron we stirred swamps 
We hyperventilated hurricanes 
Cajoled embraces, arrogated from 
your groom and registry and welling...

O' love the heart is a blueprint of sky 
Empty and darkness engulf at high  
Of love no vastnesses there is
Of tear no drops of the ocean there is 
Merely a salty sigh is flying on the lonely jeered sky
On the peak of mind...

He often rushed Russia's famed vodka
He had proudly named Bad Armoured Car,
Mouths daring to find the like in bar
Of the same strength and Field Marshall's Star.

But on alertness was set for a fall,
Quick to hear a call and kick a ball:
A strictness rearing for sure...
