Blush
fair skies 
mist Sol-kissed
citrine seduced 
mimosa clouds bask
dreamy in champagne light 

golden-god’s sparkle fills
chalices roused and
rouged as poppies
hail dawn with
unfurled 
whorls

Monsoon mornings are like a seedless vase filled with paralyzed petals.  
I sit reminiscing, the fleeting frequencies of his ancient clock,  
now cloaked in coal cobwebs composing skeletal memories;  
a timeless token of unblemished innocence,
when tiny fingers, tattooed with henna butterflies, ...

Gloaming Glory

Fiery orb of living luminous light 
    descending slowly before the 
        sea at the edge of the horizon, 

I am one with you, connected 
    through the cosmos divinely.

Happiness is scattering herbs of kindness,
   watering weathered willows in the wilderness.

Happiness is following lavender streaks of twilight~
  gliding across cerulean skies, so bright.

Happiness, a synonymous noun for my precious son,
  his lyrical laughter, mirrors the rose moon and sun.

Happiness is...

Sunflowers turn slowly 
to follow the sun.
They bow their heavy heads 
when afternoon’s done.

What a golden vision 
they share row after row
With deep amber faces, 
their tiny seeds all aglow.

The summer breezes blowing 
o’er the fields with warm air
Shares pride in a country
with its beauty...

The destiny pulled me 
Away from a matrimony,
Luckily, our friendship survived.
Thousand girls passed by my life,
Left thousand dreams flourished
In the garden of melancholy
To craft the broken heart poetry:
My love is like a fruit tree.

Your shape, your smile,
And your friendly eyes
Revived on thousand wallpapers;
Induced my ink...

In Love With a Poetess
_____________________________________
I'm in love with a poetess/
Her words choke my feelings
Lifting me up to the ceilings
The thicker her words,
The faster my emotions move upward
She metaphorically strategize my heart
Turn my love into imagery like art
Exaggerations tearing me apart
_________________________________________
Totally disorder in my vain
Leaving me...

Today's man,
Drinks liquor
as fish water,
Has vile language
enough to peel
wallpapers
off a wall;
And the moral of 
a stray alley cat,
The man adoring 
man....

A harrowing plight.
Daunting mountainous questions.
Artist in me imploring...

I looked up at night
to witness God's creation,
and thought, these stars are boring...

No, this can't be right.
God has imagination.
Lifeless sky, I'm ignoring...

...

Now I see the light.
God speaks through my impression,
A starry ocean soaring.

Act 3. A dark, empty stage.

Marat
(standing up)

My eyes went blank. That's how it goes when
you have been doubly knocked flat on your back
in half an hour. He went, he went,
he went, he went, he went, the bloody scoundrel,
abducting Charlotte! Oh, how much I loved her!

4 Senryu 

Child chews on duvet
Ciggy smoke from living room
Hysterical voices.

Bedroom partitions 
Eight layers of wallpapers
History smells bad.  

Yule remembered
Christmas tree flung into snow
Police sirens laugh.

After festivities 
We sell empty booze bottles
Go see a movie....

E-xtinguish the flame, 
D-on't let it destroy the woods, 
C-are for the nature.

It is necessary to remember.... 
to remember the sorrows,
to remember the victories,
to remember the deceased...

In our short walk
through this world,
every single memory
confirms our existence.

They say that 
knowledge
is the only thing
that can’t be taken away from us:
rubbish.

I don’t know who they are,
but they are all unimportant:

Light breaks from the moon's circle ring like a diamond
Directing magic streaks in the sea waters
Bewitched the Double Decker surfaces with ghosts
Manning the sails and wheels in pirates’ glee:

A few hours with the stars and open waves
Searching for a lonely lost merchant ship
Carrying chocolate crumbs...
