A Foggy Morning

By Elton Camp

All was clear when I went to bed
Just now, I discover it’s there

Stealthily overnight it crept in 
Its whiteness obscures the scene

Familiar shapes are blurry now
A feeling of peace it engenders 

Even the birds have ceased chirping
Silver orbs adhere to a...

Friendship

F orget-me-nots start blooming in the vales
R oses, yellow,  grow  to withstand small gales
I dyllic is the  feel that it births in friends
E ncouragement and joy should be its ends
N ights turn serenely cool with friendship thoughts
D ays too  should become...

She pervades and unveils all that I have kept hidden for so long
I do not know her but I hear her voice in and around my mind
It is weightless and I know she wills it in sound with ease
She is harmony, a beauty I would...

color awe
so crystal as to hear an
enigma

whiffed fragrance
a strangeness to scarcely taste
obscure scenes

light is sown
feel the warmth that follows miles
minds do smile

"An individual whose conscious awareness is such that a sound becomes fused with a sense of color and taste; for whom each fleeting impression...

Will we ever grasp the absurdity
Of our vanity showing disrespect
For our planet’s wholesome diversity
With lessons barely learnt in retrospect
 
Audacity shamefully outrageous
Arrogance beyond wild insanity
With consequences least ambiguous
Undermining their brutal gravity
 
Should we not reinvest our planet’s love
Carefully fostering by any means
Earth’s lavish bounty and...

(There are just some words and phrases in this translation that I might yet want to modify or substitute with other alternative phrasing. T. Wignesan)

Basking in Moonshine, Translation of Paul Verlaine’s Claire de lune

Between two lands of mountain mist 
There lies the lower plain 
Where bone-dry desert sands exist 
In constant need of rain. 
Yet still proud creatures work and play 
Upon cracked earth each sun-drenched day. 

The leather-lizzards, long and gray, 
Claim ancient history 
Entitles them to...

I have learned in the reclining chair,
		while the dentist mined deep veins of decay,
		how to transfer pain.
		The needled anodyne of novocaine
		is inadequate to allay
		the harrowing ache he engenders there.
		
		But not even by bending fingers until they pop
		or stabbing nails into the tenderest flesh
		can I get...

This is the season
For flying a kite.
Succumb to the wind
And indulge in delight.

Release enough string
So it rises with ease
And watch how it dances
And dips in the breeze.

With tail all a’flutter,
It tugs at its tether
To frolic with glee
In this blustery weather.

I don’t understand
In the midst of...

A hankering for a well-of life,
Reminds me to focus on my dreams.
And assiduous itself, is my caliber -
That relies its origin from dedication;
Because nothing rules my mind, but the words,
I will, pursue my dreams.

Being intense about a well-to-do lifestyle,
Enthuses me to ponder on my goals.
And...
