Deep, deep, deeper ...

A dark so fluid I am lost
Swimming, choking, in ink
Still, I dive, soaring down, down
Faster and faster as I dive

I breathe now, sucking in light
And brilliance and purifying joy
I fill my being with blinding brilliance
And it strengthens me, faster

Just before I hit,...

Gray leaden murkiness rests in the light hours
For which there was no light
Their barren lifelessness was visible, as their arms wobbled
Cracked and scorn beaten down
Dry as the desert, the tears have bleed away
Sucked out and left to wander 
And so they have lost against the...

Beauty is evanescent

My eyes have seen 
unspeakable,
incomprehensible 
beauty.

I thought I knew 
what beauty was
and then...
I met you!

Your apparition
left me astonished
entranced, tongue tied,
mesmerized...

My eyes 
could never 
be the same again...
how could they be... 
as all the beauty 
beforehand seen
now had a new 
reference point... 
and that...

Our life is as evanescent as the 
trumpet flower of the morning glory. 
The merest chapter in the history 
of mankind’s ever compelling story. 
Various serendipitous ramblings 
ultimately contingent ‘on quarry; 
retold to captive audience in tones 
melodious as silver-tongued lory.
Redolent of an evening-scented stock,...

Eyes locked - limpid pools of longing,
Touch of silky skin upon  skin,
One mixed breath to both belonging,
A passion disguised so very thin.

Frozen in the fathomless swirl of time,
Perhaps a drop, or less, in the infinite scheme,
A look that's fleeting, yet forevermore,
Lost and longing souls...

When the sun set, and night descended,
When the day with all its unrest quietly fled,
Feeling tired and sleepy, I closed the door
And languidly got onto my cozy bed.

At an unexpected time and hourof the night
You broke upon me as a euphonic melody
In the wee hours...

A pawn in hand of circumstance
The serendipity 
We find the answer with a dance
And scorn the apathy 
The efflorescence of our faith
When all has gone awry
Beleaguered by the storm we stay
Safe only in the eye
Yearning for propinquity, we pray
God only knows we try
While some grasp...

Vanishing souls lies in death's pastures
Fleeting joy, incurious in my surroundings 
Shades of green glistening in glory 
An unpredictable breath that barely measures
A destiny that lies and vanishes through the Death Valley

A heart's main glee 
Shines peaceably... passing above a wave of sparkling envy

Bliss sinks in my marrow 
Pensive...

Ephemeral is this life. Do not be
Vain and squander it randomly,
Allow for humility and affection.
Narcissism is the worst sin
Enticing one’s soul down a 
Slippery slope of
Conceit and debauchery;
Enlightened yourself to this
Nebulous life which is 
Temporary like a shimmering bubble.

Circumscribed as her life was
By the inescapable miasma of stifling destitution,
Lovely but not luscious,
She delighted in wading through
A valley strewn with thorns 
But  hers  was  never a  stroll  through  a  grove  of  roses
Her petals laden with...

White rain showered the walled garden;
the bridal bouquet becomes a wreath...

Nature's color of the leaves from Dokhona
This is in the air, you touch me, go by
Lovely life my dear
To follow voice of the flute to the west.
You be Asagi Baisagi
Sometimes sits in the background blowing,
You ever sit cute
Cloud's edge athlete's card.
I have to joke sometimes...

Hovering

    in the scarlet sky,

   the evanescent sun

    blows its final kiss

 to children still at play

I have seen you flash by
Amidst thick green foliage and swaying pines
Like a distant silver dream
On receding skyline
But was never satisfied
For a close encounter I craved

I did then go up
The Space Needle in Seattle
Hoping to have a clear view
Of your snow-clad balding pate
That thought profound...
