As I walked into a family restaurant,
My nose got tickled all of a sudden 
By a familiar aroma that entered my nostrils.
It transported me back to the years long past,
When I was a child at my far away home
In my mother’s kitchen on a Christmas...

THE   LEAVING   OF   LIVERPOOL


Giant  ferry berthed in  Mersey River :
Tugs  take the strain with a shiver, 
Ropes creak and we cast off  -
She timorously inches away from the wharf.  
Bow comes round and leaves...

Forever young, poised on the leaping edge of time,
the child essence that lives within,
age-creased the outer casing
where, paper thin, the skin grows old
and withers like spent leaves before the wind;
constantly renewed the inner stream of lightning grace, 
fresh flowing from the all wise Father's life...

I was afraid.
The morsel of fear laid upon my finger
It laughed at my dismay

It was quick.
Leaping from my hand
To my carnivorous cave


It reminded me of home.
My moms warm garlic
mashed potatoes

Dancing around
Swirling with such soothing grace
It was peaceful, calming

It tasted like a buttery roll
A divine gift...

Dr Mikhail Tyaglyy


Go, young man,
and conciliate cravings,
menacing palls the cherished
realm. Shelves are left barren
for frantic looks, as aisles
reload a virtuous plunge of
cobwebbed books, decaying
prints accolades of vice barren 
save one issue ...
record stamped BUNKER.

Youths immersed
in causality...

broken branches 
of a tree 
fuzzy faces 
unclear to me

 painfully imprints
genetically strand
imprint illusions 
alone being banned 

Helplessly hoping 
 a final breath 
timorously taunting 
 wishing for death...

WHEN THE CAT’S AWAY




The  murine  stars
Hide timorously as the cat’s yellow eye  
Appears early each morning
Trying to catch those tiny 
Scurrying distant dwarfs
But they stay hidden  until the cat 
Settles down to sleep again...

As far as my eyes could see were old stones
Storied lives, some remembered, most forgotten,
Once were flesh and blood, now only dry bones.

I wondered how many of them were misbegotten
Their worth now easily assessed with a few zeroes,
Storied lives, some remembered, most forgotten.

No doubt some...

Mine was an awning,
I was not fawning,
crammed into my mind,
the space was just not available,
the flesh was raw and broken,
the nerves jingled every now and then,
sending painful telegrams,
blood frightened me,
as it oozed out timorously,
I did not know quite,
how to get this sewed up and good,
I...

i hesitate from getting up from the puddle
i had fallen down in during the rain.
my foot had slipped leaving me covered in soil and water
i imagined going quietly insane.

a gun shot took the life force of a friend today.
i stood shakily in dirty wet shoes.
no...

The shadow hides many pretty things,
but light is the chaser of the ugly darkness
as the desiderable sunlight shines on
persons and Nature alike!
Don't we all have:
a great necessity to seek a light,
however dim it may be...when it is frightfully dark
and roaring thunderstorms move on?

The shadow hides...

We are travelers on this wild terrain
Heading timorously towards an unknown goal
Ever tossed by the vicissitudes of life
Fated to partake evenly of smiles and tears 
All the paths we tread along
Finally converge on a single spot
At the tomb, we just pause awhile
To resume our journey...

FALL    IN    THE    SNOW

Navigating deserted street , timorously,
Seems  ok underfoot, so branch out a little.
No ice, just hard-packed snow.
Sidewalk  looks  white, innocent, safe.

Left foot treachery,   collapse to port side
Like a tree...
