Oiled and bronzed
In cupped pose
Her wetted hair
The want in me grows

Silhouetted 
Against the moonlight
Beside the blue lagoon
Her curves of delight

She turns her head
As she looks into my eyes
Sultry and steamy
On the cooling sands we lie

Tethered together
By capturing arms
Under the light of the moon
We share our...

In the cradled of life's dark garden,
It dwells amongst the murky waters
Primeval,
Behold the creature from the black lagoon.
Nay what is this creation, neither fish or 
Reptile.
Yet a blending of both, a high bread's mixture,
Intelligent, and cunning, the last of his species,
To survive.
Brought unwisely did men,...

Lagoon of life, lake of man
Bitterness in life, salt of man.
Sourness or sweetness, salt of the tongue
Harvest of the young, actions of man

Sourness of tongue, sweetness of the stung
Sweetness of the unsung, sourness of the dung.
Bitterness of man, life's crucifix
Burden of follies, puff of the...

In my room I hold a turtle lagoon
Though it's dry to the eye and the touch
I avoid their disturbance, they require no survice
Simply, in my room they have a niche
Upon my selves I spy moving turtle shells
Without a turtle inside to see
As miracles they are...

Over this limpid lagoon, without a church's dome,
no ill-tempered wind coming from the stormy East
can stir up huge waves, it can only scatter mist;
here birds thrive, they call this place their home.

The esurient wrens search for breadcrumbs,
Ella hasn't come yet and they hope she will;
the...

What can i be for you 
in this unpredictable nuclear world?
Why are you so soft and sensual
behind this invisible radioactive gold?

Kissing your beautiful reddish lips
for me is unfinished dream.
Dreaming about new future with you
in this crazy world is just a scream.

Just for you i will...

Thou’re closed to lagoon; nay any fathom,
Mock with my vile scream and move on.
Myself is only sticking  here on my own,
Don’t shed tears when this love is gone.

Trees forgo leaves for winter,
Betraying is a kind of disease for trees.
A **** and the green of...

The Northern Lagoon


A rare circle of cool water
Trapped between two meandering outlets
One flowing directly from the east
The other streaming from the west
Between a mighty mountain and remote rivulets
Unique and complete
Balmy, calm, and serene most times   
Or rough with huge heavy waves from time...

The river is riveting, volatile, wide, deep and long
It has its own spellbinding song
The rocks are sharp and main current very strong
The white water waves wrap around kayak like lizards forked tongue 

To the cave river will flow in which kayak will disappear whole
The beauty...

In Amida’s Pure Land
There is a sea of blue,
And upon its tranquil hue
Adorn millions of lotuses,
Each gleaming with a
Growing dream,
A dream for Bodhi,
And blooming Samadhi!

Walking on colourful leaves,
      fall brings back long sleeves.
    The lazy sun goes to bed early,
     while the morning fresh wind 
     caresses the wet grass softly.

Washed by tides, tangle inevitable, 
   Lurking licking tongues, tiger whisker weed
   Undercurrent gritty slippery tendrils -
   Barb trusting toes with camouflaged cat creed
   

   Wet predator paws apply pressure
   Leeching life from...
