The chaotic times shake the sands of disarray,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with dispersed dust of perturbation,
the truth of trust oscillates on the ruffled ripples of disorder.
In the bewildered efflux of errant confusion,
everything changes in the cauldron of conundrum.
The mysterious alchemy of mental metamorphosis
reveals the fantasy façade of perplexing transformation.
In the disorderly squall of divesting dismay
my marooned mind is disheveled to a dishabille state,
splinters the secret leitmotif of the embedded emotions,
the confounded cascade of consternation carries them away.
When disparity develops from consuming closeness,
dancing to the music of mystifying maze makes no sense.
At the end of the day our riddled roads diverge disoriented,
I choose within ambiguity the one that takes me away from you.
Our differences are like pieces of puzzle called life,
I drift with no rancor out of the realm of extant enigma.
I won’t explore you if at night you become mystery aurora,
I’d walk on the pathway of my life the way I want, for it’s mine.

The disordered sands of entropy,
churned by the wheel of chaotic time,
settle on the stratified shelf of the disorganized life.
In moments moving with perturbed dispersed dust,
the truth of trust oscillates in tumult
on the ruffling ripples of mayhem.
In the bewildered efflux of errant disarray,
everything rumpled changes in nonplussed instants,
except for the notion of change.
The mystifying alchemy of metamorphosis
reveals the real façade fragile
of the perplexing psychic transformation.
In the baffling squall of divesting dismay,
my mind disheveled in befuddled moments
into a dishabille state of confusion,
splinters the leitmotif of the embedded emotions.
The confounded cascade of consternation
carries them away to the abyss of oblivion.
Yet, when my castle of sand on the shore of yearning
tumbles down in a clutter of dispersed debris,
in its disorientation I discover discombobulated
the emotive flute of dormant feelings,
play the tune of unfazed ecstasy,
making the lucid music of mystique memory.

Up the delicate dale
of latticed life,
at esoteric edge
of sinking sky,
hermit horizon
shimmers sensuous,
glows paled passion.
On convolute contours
of scrambled dream,
whirlpool desire
swivels in inert stream,
arcane mindscape
usurped unsculpted
in twilight obscurity.
In platitude plateau,
the final flow
originates inspired,
ordained for
integral fusion
with supreme sea,
the end embrace
of sublime silence.
Suffused whelmed
with sunrise hues,
longing precipitates,
perpetuity illusion
embeds eternity efflux,
carries virtually
the vibrant soul
to the buoyant bay
of bliss.

| Oceans - Of Thought |
Harmonised hypothermia sets
through the darkened depth
of the chasm deep,
Like a heavy-weighted wreck
of my linguistic mind.
As blithe planulae float
amongst the turquoise torrents
of the surging tides.
Efflux my porous skin
that secretes the bitter brine,
Void of lust, my halitous breath.
When will I find the courage
that guillotine faith;
cut across these saline soothing shores
That reflects like crystalline glass,
that rips and takes.
But, incompetent to see more;
the calm of the sea.
But under tide
the waves topple above
like whitewash remembrances
Beckoning me to emerge and find,
Flavours of youth
in the lull of the sea
So I begin searching of forever freedoms
in the caress of the breeze.
I say my adieu to the abyss-abundant sea
My love for the ocean;
Is a coral of burnt sienna,
tipped with lanvanda,
and blushing pinks.
The azure's solvent divinity
has annihilated fear
Like an oakum of my sanity
My mind finally carefree.

Bewildering static
frames the soulless—
restlessly habitual, as
crippled philosophies efflux
amidst stunted swells,
cracked and parched
despite ocean whorls that
coat wayward sentiments, of
grave quagmires rippling in
steady streams,
paradoxically cornered into a
vortex of intoxicating drifters.
Rather, the moon guides my way
amidst lulling meres,
soothing the storms
raging within perplexed
personas, sailing towards a
dawning of lucid seascapes—
home to you, my ocean blue.

Up the delicate dale of life,
at sensuous edge of sunk sky,
hollow horizon shimmers
with glow of pale passion.
Down the contours of dream,
frail desire stream meanders
across the arcane mindscape
to fading twilight obscurity.
On the platitude plateau far,
the final flow ordained for
fusion with the supreme sea,
the end embrace of peace.
Suffused with sunset hues,
the eternity efflux earned
slides with the serene soul
into the benign bay of bliss.

GRACE AND SOLITUDE
Sparkling Sun on verdant valley of super silence.
Symphony of dazzling rays of sizzling Sun in prelude.
Dreamy dormant desires in dolor, deep and dense,
suffusing in opulence blending in quietude.
Dim sunlight on twilight pasting hues on sky-canvas
Tranquil ambient runs on cadence of interlude.
Blooming passion on confusion confined in mind-vase.
Evening melody showers solace in plenitude.
Sadness on starless somber turquoise sky
resonating on aria of serene soul in postlude.
Efflux of ethereal emotion oozing to fly,
enjoying ecstasy in graceful sublime solitude.

Up the incline of delicate dale of the verdant life,
blazing the curved canvas of the sensuous sky,
rising from the hollowness of the halcyon horizon
the shimmer of sun's spectrum slides on passion.
Cascading down the contours of valley of dream,
the sparkling lonely stream meanders mesmerized
across the arcane mindscape framed in obscurity,
in the backdrop of twilight visage of fading time.
The sluggish stream flows on the plateau of silence
in the final stretch of its ordained course designed,
to the confluence of calm fusion with caressing sea,
waiting to wrap it with ecstasy of the rolling waves.
In the sanguine sea suffused with setting sunrays,
the veneer of vermilion paints the pale tides of time.
The efflux of extricated eternity from deep within
glides with the serene soul into benign bay of bliss.

CRY ME TEARS TO SWIM
Cry me tears to swim
Warm and beguiling tears
Running in swish down
From the height of Salto Angel
Against the hard cliff splashed
And stimulating to take a dive
Down below with ice cube and silt.
Cry me tears that swiftly flows
As the efflux of Ereda
With tweedling sonorous drone
And her crystal clear surface
So endearingly to wade through
Wherein beneath lay a mush.
Cry me lovely tears of passion
Tears as deep as the Congo
That I might sink beneath
The depth of your bosom
And forever be drowned!
