Fated Love
...They grew up together
But they never spoke
And never seen each other
Fate had her plans, though
Setting them up to meet
When they did it, it was in the library
Between the dust-covered shelves...

The Last Station of Waiting
...Long ago, Mithila was left at this forsaken station,
As the train slipped away on the wrong track,
cutting all horizons.

The Sad Story of Annie
...The old cottage was in a dilapidated state. Fifteen years had passed
Since my sister died. The only thing of interest was a dusty old box.

Hollow
...Those church doors, once open wide,
are closed. Hinges rusted and ancient
thorn bushes, once trimmed,
now block entry.
Inside, the pews are barren.
The pulpit, a dust-covered monument

Covering Rose
...Painted daisies, baby's breath beside roses
Chrysanthemums, carnations beside roses
Red roses beside pink roses
Still, Rose is gone; Petals fresh, ... dried, and crushed.

forgotten over the years
just recently found
old smiles brought to life
memories that make me laugh

where you, with sacred grace, draw esoteric circles,
watching me as I prepare the canvas for painting,
laughing softly, slipping your powdered...

The Wandering of a Dead Man

I move slowly, like a lost soul, a walking dead,
My vision, foreign, no longer belongs to me,
It is merely that of a human animal, an unwitting heir
Of Greek culture, ...

Wedding
...To elope is that others are doubters
they wish to devalue the way you feel
saying your emotions are
fadly expressions
saying what you feel isn't real
To agree and say to your lover

I often feel I have turned the corner
refusing to the titterings of despair
I cannot hold back the spring

Make My Lonley Desert Bloom Again

It's been a long cold dark lonely winter
Since you went away
I live in limbo
And torture myself every single day
The sun used to shine my way
But now turns the other way
A shadow ...
