Rondelet: Don't blame India, the land of the 64 artful Kama-Sutra positions

    for the Punjabi Lady in an all-night jogging bus

Don't blame India
For a thousand three hundred years
Don't blame India
Bored by repetitive Kama
And pedologic incest - tears
In iron-hosing buses - cheers!
Don't blame...

Looking outside I feel very serene inside;
the brown-breasted drake has returned
to his nest not too happy to have found
the snow-clad bushes that stood astride  
a river that was the gold-seekers' pride!
The wind-whipped lake below is subdued;
last spring a brood of six closely followed
the mother...

I have my platinum muse
It is a flighty, windy memory
Of a memorable, miserable encounter
With someone that reminded me...

I have not even fooled myself
Into believing something so weak
As the crippled, dying cupid
That is love at first sight.

The woman I am marrying,
Wasn't loved at first glance

I scaled the heights
and crossed the genre over
Rock and Pointillism
Springstein and Seurat

separation of our malaise
individuality's good 
'long as it's understood
we're all different in artful ways

the beholder can only seize
on concepts...

A terror of alikeness looms
like stricken birds, incenerated in split seconds.

Nearing endgame a conceptual hate
is jettisioned in sky. You start collecting
the fragments of life.

Words start jumping. You refuse to accept
more than the want. And yet a finite

My love has the eyes of Rembrandt or Delacroix
He sees me in the passion of his secret inner light
He paints with strokes of extraordinary fervor
The fire of ecstasy and devotion of the joy in us

I mirror his vision with glowing admiration
I blush elated by his...

Armageddon    

These here sacred walls are graffiti on the mind, 
Designed to make us blind.
A lie artfully etched on both sides of a crooked sky.
Shame, and guilt, that is how a religion is built.
And with fear, that is the trinity we have...

When I travelled to London Town
I never expected this to go down
Artful Dodger came out of the dark
Smiled at me, as if I was a lark

He was rumpled and crumpled, this tallish boy
I did not know what to say, so I said “ahoy”.
He put one...
