The wind off the cold North Atlantic ocean
smells of piquant seawater on its breath,
agreeably pungent, brackish and moist.
The legendary Nor'easter off Newfoundland,
the bane of so, so many ships at sea,
is not a breeze with a soft, caressing hand.
It kicks and knocks and slaps and whacks and thwacks,
pummels and punches, pinches and pushes.
The stolid, sturdy imperturbable island
sits there and puts up with the abuses.
The northeasterly wind is very resentful
of its odiferous reputation.
At night, it simmers and seethes and smolders,
writhes and trembles, weeps and whines, stirs and sulks.
But, like the song says, the wind and sea smells
are "perfume to my soul". I stand alone on shore
and listen to the ocean's roar, wind's whoosh,
and my mind decompresses, destresses;
this is my peace, my serenity. I am home.

Green Waves
Guess what, after two months of hard work,
Finally I completed the fine work.
It was definitely the first of its kind,
I did it with mixed sound mind.
It had modest imperturbable patterns,
It sure was a 'piece of art' fashion,
A great attractive amazing style,
It would fit a range of sizes.
Consisted of waving, and contrasting with straight lines.
Some showed lumps but others flattened.
The colour looked dull but mingled with sparkling.
It showed corners pointing,
Then surrounded by rounding.
It used natural normal yarn and feathers.
The arrangement of colours took forever.
At last, I completed it with pride.
It definitely would be worn with a great smile.
The main colour was emerald.
It was a lovely well knitted poncho.
What a challenge for me to take on.
Never mind, I had managed.
By all means. It was quite a privilege.
I was sure I was very proud of it.
I did it.

Caught off guard in templates of color
that feeling I have frozen in the flesh
is singed by the siege of beauty served
Burnt oranges,reds,and colors of ash
Lusciousness and fleshy desires
Is it just a depiction my eyes have envisioned
Created and demonstrated to cut the frame
edging the sight to save the soul that saw
poison in the passion of painted pictures
Our juices produced the perfect antidote
Which laid the blueprint for the impeccable frame
Together our bodies permeated the template
A border to beset the beast buried
under the blunder of censored skills
with the site to see free in cyanide
Boarders now imperturbable
Representation remains unblembished
Unwanted deciphering becomes unresponsive

I am a victim of my
own self convictions
Driven by relentless ambition
Always concealing
my despondency
Trained to be
imperturbable
My unremitting efforts
throw me into chaos
A madness caused
only for self perfection
However there is such beauty
in imperfections
Faults and flaws
are unique and exquisite
Unaccompanied by imitation
Time to unmask who I am
and who I have been
For it must be removed
to expose the truth
Removing the facade
like a fictitious ocean
In the dessert
Only then true happiness
will replenish this once lost soul.
