Premium Member Portrait
Paint me blue like the sky
rainbow's smile; thunder's cry
clouded curtains rife with rain
till shroud is lanced and bluebirds fly again
     Wistful moods in mahogany frames
     melancholy painters with undiscovered names
     rearrange reveries in...

A Piece of Dream
I look behind to see my dream has shattered
into a million pieces on the floor
I knew that this was going to happen
but didn't know it would hurt much more

It was the only way this dream should end
it wasn't one that had a hope
it's better off...

Premium Member An Unexplored Adventure I Know What Will Be
An unexplored Adventure !!!
I know what will be !!!

There is an emptiness, creating – depression – a hole
that a deep sadness fills – thoughts of it, take their toll
on an alone heart that seeks a destiny with so much more.
The choices one makes, become the...

Premium Member Listen To the Moon
The plain is fuzzing with the ingress racing.
Predicted rain is heard in the birds singing.
Sow your seed when the moon tells its time.
Hear the tales close to the fire; it's sublime.

Contemplate the skies for the hawks cry.
Focus on the breeze and the moonlit sky.
The noble...

The Ring of Diamond
Old sayings are gold for many 
Proverbs are power house of wisdom to some 
‘’Tit for tat ‘’is one such ring of diamond 
Worn on their necks, revenge is its another sweet name 
The lure or the allurement of it is so strong 
That hardly...

The Trade Off
Red bulb
casts sultry shadow
across the 
room 
spilling onto the
street 
air heavy with 
illicit
night scent
rain smog weed and
jack 
clinging 
along for the ride
blurry eyed
distorted reflection dares you
“look up”
shoes
high with painted toes
pulse quickens
stockinged legs the
pathway to shapely hips and 
white lace panties
silk 
skims navel and 
cups breasts
dark
hair...

Three Brothers
three connected by blood
three fated to strive
three to stem the flood
three, of whom one must die

together they stood and answer'd the call
as one they stood, to country's cry
in mind as one man tall
in history, to battle they fly

to one must death come
to one must agony...

Life is an interesting phenomenon
Everyone talks about it. 
But who knows about it completely?
Is it so difficult to be fathomed? 
Having said that it’s not bizarre to comprehend.
All scriptures teach the logics of life.
But the journey of life provides one to make it out better.
If...

The First Date
She was the first to disappear
Behind the mannequin in "Quirk",
And he, from the cretaceous year
Followed like a Rex in dark.

She swallowed a tranquillizer 
And that was showing on her cheeks
pink like a shade of amber, and dear
She was blushing like critics.

It could be any of...

Interlude
Interlude

It becomes apparent 
As the days go by
That with years behind you
A desire quietly lye’s

A commitment is made
Day one after the kiss
Of a life full of wonder
Wanting of love and bliss

So for every kiss of the lips
Every caress of the flesh
Patience is yearning
For the intimacy...

Celebration
You sprinkle golden dust
I read them and feel silky
In dark or light, read I must
Two are toward the path milky

Even in the nursing home
Amidst the smell of illness
Golden dust do roam
Vacuum cries for fullness

I am a dreamful river
You are a flirting ocean
You and I together...

Feeding the Ducklings
Feeding the ducklings one day,
I slipped and fell in all the way.
'Though the lake was murky,
the weather was sultry.
I was inclined to stay.

As I floated on my back,
I heard the ducklings quack.
The fluffy clouds rolled by,
an azure coloured sky.
Transported was I
back to my childhood.

Happy times...

Grandma told me to be mindful. She used to tell me that when I was a kid. What exactly that meant did not completely become clear to me, until after she was gone. I was not mindful at all. I missed a load...
