Unless you give into a trans,
And live your life

and finding refuge in Midian
I was a stranger in a strange land.

The beauty of hope on display
Nature rejoices
In songbird voices
As creatures st......

Ghazal On An Encounter
...A father ails, a son's lover's lament
Steel rudders committed, what hues to lament.
No courage, the lover feels not what to speak
A channel untuned to the feast of lament.
Tradesmen and saint......

Resting in the

New Light Unspoken
...Nocturnal flower
In need of sleep
Your petals wilt
The count for sheep
New dawn unpromised
The die is cast
A croupier blocking

Tomorrow Unpromised
...Where would we be
without the bomb
Was Einstein a savior
or devil aplomb

The next, abruptly shoved
Hands over heart: Pray

drifts off unpromised,
the dream remains with me
Our words as jewels
now treasured pawn,
their tickets burning free
The nights by measure
mornings fled,

its horses set free
Misery beckons
