Sense Hedges
Seeking a shred of purpose
to pass the remaining time
or play with dark spots
and flashes of thunder
and dreams of vespers?
Tenderly rummaging through memories of bones
and promises of fragile enchantments.
Who awaits us in the elder's shadow?
Who awaits us, winged spirits with swollen faces
after we have consumed the last refuge
of weary scribblers?
Once upon a time there was a

Krishna Creates
Krishna trims the hedges
an artist in heart, he shapes them
creates three tiers, the bottom one big
the center small, the top one medium.
Fortunate to have him as my gardener.
I watch Krishna from the patio
He cuts humming a hit song
of yester years
ammavum neeye , appavum neeye
The same way the playback singer

Couldn'T Enter the Door Together
. COULDN’T ENTER THE DOOR TOGETHER
Through the lanes we walked with the rose hedges side by side
Sharing the ultimate intimacy
With the swinging of our arm-in-arm
Towards the door of entry
Into the vudoing volucompul marrital acts
Ecstasy was our priority
All of a sudden the mic was turned on
Voicing violently unpleasant salutations
She denied me of appetizing dokono with

Torn From Me
May mornings turned a blue iris white with the sight of petaled plates on your stubble.
By surprise they appeared as a dawn shadow, thick on a black jaw,
Smelling of Millionaires against your stout chin.
I blinked and sent you into my record fayer then when I needed a shot, my blood could be filled with your

God Hedges Me
God hedges me around His victory*
Protecting my soul with holy presence
Apart from Him causes faith-injury
Wounding spirit to seek healing incense
Midst vain goals, devoid of stewardship-sense.
Inside the Lord’s fence of good guardianship
Buttressed against doubt-unbelief’s hardship
I’m within

Soft Edges Free Hedges
The fog slowly creeps its dampness covers everything
All of nature now fuzzy around its wet edges
Fog settles like damp blanket 'pon the hedges
Wind tossed pines' sighs float through the hedges
The Dove's sudden coo lifts spirits of everything
Still no red sun seen lifting gray from the edges
Humans are confused_still damp around edges
They seek a life

Natures Secrets Behind Hedges
Nature hangs sparkling green curtains all around the fields and the meadows along its edges,
From great tall trees that sway in summer breezes everywhere including tiny little hedges,
Its hides her secrets well, like a mother, protecting them from some people and prying eyes,
Guarding her world like a woman warrior away from any chance of danger

To See Hawthorn On the Summer Hedges
to see hawthorn on the Summer hedges
bluebirds on the ledges of the low lying sill
near the old cotton mill
bird song fills the air, chirping cheeping, caterpillars creeping.,
through the leaves of green
glistening in the summer sun.
