Ladies of the Field
...
I’ve known these ladies of the field as long

maybe once or twice. I never understood
my lack...

Raise a Glass to Despair
...I am drawn to you as an alcoholic to a glass of whiskey,
I lift you to my lips taking a simple sip,
I pour you from the bottle I’ve enclosed you within,

Luna Vines
...I want a drunk moon
one entirely at home
in a glass of golden wine.
Let evil be forever sober,

a mother’s tender tears
fall softly as the dawn appears
again, across an alien land, so distant
from the soothing comfort
of family and familiar things.
And ye...

Face of the City
...(This is the image of a semi urban city of India)
The glow of a late Autumn Sunset,
Gleams over the dense city streets.
Rushing wheels and honking horns,
Halt awhile for the traffic signs.

A folk with dreams like yours tag an enemy?

To One No More Lionized
...If you were much lionized
Later no more recognized
Or by some men demonized
Would it leave you traumatized,
Judge it a foul play dramatized;
Have the actors stigmatized:
As Satan characterized?...

The world comes alive in all its gleam n’ glitter
What lovely autumn vistas unfurl and pass me by
What miracles of creation, what wonders ...

Autumn Walks
...I have loved these evening walks
through smoldering reeks,
ankle deep in haunted litter.

flaming across a waterborne sky,
the soft mats of moss upon ...

Dress At Officers Mess
...You may any nearby mess
Some tomorrow access
Just to cleanly assess
Their customary dress …
Still it is an easy guess,
What they wear at officers’ mess:
More of a liberating mufti than less;...

...The dying from torture should this resist,
Over the struggle to hang on persist;
His would-be killers punishing badly or a little
-Like glass taking for the still brittle-
With teeth that still ...

...Channels within the windblown grass and contoured
shifting sand, stretch-probing as a spindle tree,
rouse echoing murmurs of the easeful sounds
of solitude, the slumberous sea, and me.
