Best Deigned Poems

When I met you in the language of lonely war
three feathers fastened to your breast breathing sore
many graves of gentlemen knew your score and the devil deigned for more,
tears you had for all times rhymes and ribs broke from crimes making aching lore,
ink of fire...

The sun has deigned to smile on me 
And make me his mistress moon
He fills with fire and burns in me
With heat of the sultry noon

I’m ravished by his solar flares
That make my face to glow
All night there is a radiance
In silver streams that flow

She comes to me when e’er she will,
When starlight sprinkles my windowsill.
When the dew finds rest upon the grass
She taps upon my window glass.

I go outside to be with her,
To share a moment soft and pure,
But she soon glides away down a wooded lane
And I...

God Beautifully Created Us!

 God beautifully created us 
with unique features.
Because of sin, we’ve become 
fallen creatures.

God deigned us to have
 fellowship with him!
But that was broken, 
on account of SIN!

God formed us out of the 
dust of the ground…
His wonderful creation 
was made all...

A magical feeling unknown anywhere else lingered at the faerie waterfall
This was the gentle resting place of all worn-out muses and elves, after all
A mystical silence filtered over each caregiver, lingering over each rose in bloom
King and Queen Council had ruled no interlopers ever, could...

The demons that made entry in my head
Were destined to create unwelcome pain
Though courtesy, respect would be well bred
From hospitality I shall abstain

Temptation’s there to sink  beneath the waves
Submit to sorrow, sympathize my woes
And follow others sadly to our graves
Create sardonic vision for the...

Some pretty brown birds nesting on a tree
Prank frequently at my other room balcony
Apparently, they were once the main culprits
Of messing it up, bringing a variety of leaves and twigs

They also build thin nests behind my air conditioner
When an egg drops, they may reckon I’m...

THE FAR VIEW
     Of  this quaint mountain village sparks a longing  strain lay dormant these many years. Was it some childhood visit, one too early to recall, or existence in another life? The two, to my searching soul, ever...

for Thodti trailing barefeet his dried coconut-stick broom on cracked macadam
in the gutter festering oozing fresh month-old drying turds urine remains of fed-up banana-leaves skins withered jasmine garlands drained motor-oil from scooter-taxis overfed flies lean stray kids fowl cows

Broken keys on a piano - 
harmonic notes no longer heard,
where once sweet love songs deigned to flow.
Broken keys on a piano - 
love not nurtured will cease to grow,
apathy kills without a word.
Broken keys on a piano,
harmonic notes no longer heard.

Once again unrelenting sadness knocks at my door,
Like the inveterate seeker of my generous charity
Calls on others like me and always demanding more.

Could it be that I am a lone favored mark to score?
And I am deigned to entertain gloom incessantly
Once again, unrelenting sadness knocks...

Rose petals plated on caste mold
Savory patent impressed on manifold
From Nature's palate sweet oils doled
Essence of extracted beauty flowed

Into fashioned vial tinged with gold
Nature's, vintage aphrodisiac bankrolled
Mysterious guise, transparent, yet stunningly bold
Onto suave cheeks the charming potion scrolled

Distilled love massaged into every, ivory fold
Enamoring scent...

So many faces moved through the desks in my classroom
                   sitting uncomfortably at first
             ...

Brisk beach winds spray
Specks of sand in the air
Perched in regal pose patiently
A squadron of Royal Terns
Take their posts in the 
Bird formation on whisking sands

Orange beaks point in unison
Cutting through flowing air
Breezes bristling crown feathers
Gently patting grey and white bodies
As they waft while at
Standing...

In sandy Egypt lived three men
In ancient days when pharaohs reigned
The kingdom of the pyramids,
Osiris and that Isis’ den,
Whom everyone worships and heeds,
Or at least doing so they feigned,
And those gods too blessed them and deigned.
But these three men round whom my tale
Will be revolved,...
