serigraphs
The rabbit died
in the shadow of its body,
coming to rest as an imprint,
a texturing of space.
A busy rot
has etched its life into the earth.
Extinction endures,
to be read as a heartbeat
taking its leave.
intaglio
delicate incisions
in soft outline
Dark stripe night-like silvery shadow,
Bottom of an earthen pot of a kind,
Hallowed sepia-eyes of Black Dahlia in her dying glow
Expressway etched intaglio,
Through miles of my crazy driving mind,
It is dawn,
Under a cloud, peeps the sun,
While morning dew is still fresh,
On the leafy flesh,
In front lies my life,
The sesame yawning road doses starving,
It is the day of my harvest moon
And i must be home,
To reap the corn of lonely broken hearted living,
Embarking on a journey to build my hope,
On the beyond stubbles of life,
By loosely trailing on so labyrinthine along a
strange rope,
Where will this romance
With the Anaconda leads?
Maybe destined like the road to somewhere leads,
When will this sojouner comes to the remembrance
And comes to the crossroads,
Of life's all unending trods?
Helplessly! my days keep throwing up the sponge,
When will i plunge
Into the mirage ocean,
Of oblivion?
This road leads
To the sleepy lull,
This road leads
To the seraphic soul,
Over the lily covered Hilly
Down the unbeknownst far fir forested valley,
It goes on eternally.
Who played Chopin on piano?
Fantasie-Impromptu much blithe.
Was so fast like when the winds blow.
Runs, magically came to life.
The Christmas party gave great joy.
Who played Chopin on piano?
For every little girl and boy.
There even sang a soprano.
The piano was intaglio.
Ornamented on the surface.
Who played Chopin on piano?
Making carved figures seem to race.
Pianos are such lovely things.
Melodious as the white snow.
The many strings are made to ring.
Who played Chopin on piano?
Ennui conspires insipid moods
infringing human awareness,
ruled by a lunatic vision,
not controlled by insight and lucidity;
and a desire for a Dolce Vita
mollifies a false illusion
to appear on an intaglio, to gradually
become a shining insignia.
To steer a ship, takes effort and patience,
and if its course is guided by favorable winds,
all is well for the adventurous captain;
and should he lose focus, lured by lunacy and nihilism,
his enthusiasm wears off and failure sets in...
and his ship will lurch on unfriendly waves,
and his ennui deprives him of courage to deviate
from the safe route when nocturnal vision is lost indeed.
Ennui insinuates myopia,
muzzling the voice and halting
the mind's performance,
thus forging the promise of utopia;
and the hunch is to pursue intuition
whenever it may lead...being
the holster controlling the steed,
getting rid of the humdrum and huff,
humming and ignoring the hourglass,
which trickles the sand to infuse fear.
