Psychic Lattice

marooned mind 
my capricious creation 
designs psychic lattice
morphs into innate Narcissus
nestled in introvert isolation 
where I am me, aberrant recluse

Latent Lattice

Penultimate misty mile
resonates pined
sunset swan song
of forlorn footprints
transformed to
flattened anonymity. 

In the shadow of 
cleaved cloud
in swarming storm
turmoil threads
weave ordained
webbed horizon
languished obscurity,

Convolute canvas of
chameleon conversion
deception illumines  
the last corner
patina plays
beguiled buoyant
with the remnant rays
of sanguinity.

In the final flash
of the sinking sun
latent lattice 
fabricates in delusion
unframed dreams
of petrified life
in kaleidoscopic snapshot.

winter lattice

frost grips frozen ground
lancet winds slice solitude...
snow flakes seam silence

Lattice of Luring Shadow

In the satin sky the clumps of cloud 
on their scarlet wings slowly rise,
on them beguiled with the golden gift 
of the mesmeric dawn my mind flies.

My heart races on rolling rhapsody, 
surges with the waves of sparkling sea,
as the rippling breeze flowing from 
the halcyon horizon whispers to me.

The waves of rapture on radiant beach 
lay the pristine patina of pearly glow,
that shimmers on my fading footprints,  
following the lattice of your luring shadow.

Image In Sand Lattice

With lonely life amidst the breaking waves of the stormy sea
I search in shifting sand lattice for your image etched for me.

Lattice of Essence

The seamless sky called life glowed in serene beauty 
In time’s drifting waft flitted a butterfly free 
On its wings I painted lattice of my essence 
Flowers in my garden bloomed all seasons for me.

Lattice of Desire

The desolate wasteland of deprivation traversed 
by my indigent life that tried so long so very hard  
to smoothen the angularities of the obtuse mind. 
Swirling in the egregious whirlpool of indignation, 
sucked into the dark abyss of despondent delirium,
I searched out for myself a path of passion within, 
leading through the pulsating portal to my heart, 
not yet frosted in the perennial winter of despair. 

The spring of yearning came in hour of awakening, 
soaring on the dreaming wings of the silenced time, 
stalled in my satin sky where you flew like a butterfly, 
its fluttering cadence created a surreal symphony, 
harmonized with the rhythm of music of my heart, 
where emotions danced on the ripples of rhapsody 
that rolled between you and me to entwine us forever, 
consecrating concealed concept of craving called love. 
You made it diaphanous weaving the lattice of desire
on tapestry of longing to stay unfurled till end of time.

Lattice of Cloud

grey clouds weave lattice
of dark dusk on canopy…
wilted willow weeps

The Cover of Moonbeam Lattice

Down the stairs turned chiseled rocky steps
the bare beauty cascades like an ebullient rapid
raw grace of Eve glistens on the satin skin
tinged with the hues of primeval nature exposed
sculpted in curvy contours of Michelangelo finesse
and charisma.

Amorous luster flowing in the cleaved vale
carved between the ambrosial mounds
opens up on the vista of the ivory meadow
supple rhythm of scented jasmine allure
wafts on the canopy of the yonder thicket
and waits.

The porcelain ballerina feet as insipid as
the stark sorrow of the defoliated winter tree
half-way on the staircase stuck motionless
a statue draped in symphony of au naturel shape
moonbeam lattice covers her with silver screen
and enigma.

Lattice of the Soul

uneasy
         feelings,
    subtle
         needs,
so 
     translucent
clinging,
precarious
     as snagged
            braids
of 
silk
     floating,
'til
providence
       reveals
             all
translated
upon
      our
           sleeve

Lattice of Oneness

Carved of one stone strong, you and I
In our texture same lattice lie
Oneness binds our grains together.
Eroding times' wrath can’t alter 
Twined heart's tie even if they try.

On our common strength we rely
People don't fail to wonder why
In diverse life stature we are
Made of one stone.

On us, time a river flows by
Souls shine, two minds fuse, petrify
On face of lithic still mirror
We see us made for each other.
For final sleep on bed we’ll lie 
Made of one stone.

Lattice of a Bridge

Far, far way you've gone beyond worlds 
that divided us in a time I cannot shape or mold--
just shadows, just shadows of you that now
visions barely see the pewter breeze combing 
your fibrous-winter hair:  O like so,
I weep, I linger at the eyes my essence
knows so well….they are but hazy tones 
disappearing from our longing gaze
shared along a bridge covered 
by the old lattice of  trusses and boughs:

And I dream of you with an affection more
golden than Snow's moonlight craving 
for  timber of reveries and fables that 
hold our  secrets      telling us about  love’s forlorn
destiny…yet  this heart keeps us near, grasping
a pain not too tight  on a hundred- meter stretch
until you passed the border without me.

Alone for a walk, I know you're just  breathing,
lounging, curling  right by my side..all the while.

Lattice of Monet

Pinpoints of lightened tones blush in grace
with  impressionistic  smudges…
ornate yet mellow like hues
glistening fine textures
on Monet’s lattice,
breathing  alive
as I soak
in his
oil !

The Lattice Gate

The lattice bare, from winter's air
In need of paint, and vine--
Is waiting there, for its repair
And for the sun to shine.

Then put in proper order
With some paint, and jasmine too--
The lattice gate and border
Greets the courters, bright and new!
