Pearls descend from onyx clouds,
locks brace rainbow hue.
Gems latticed in lilac lips
bloom roses on you
with surreal gleam.
Drops of sensual philtre
design my day dream.

“Imagination is potent inspiration,
motivating the minds of creation.”- By Poet
I drift on latticed wings of butterfly,
flittering on cascade of whistling wind
to flamboyance of fleeting rainbow hue.
I see beauty of life beyond dark clouds,
luring me to be a bird spreading wings,
soar in sapphire sky with seamless daydream,
taking my entrapped anguished mind away
to horizon of infinite freedom,
suffused with the aura of timeless bliss,
when I fly in imagination sky.

From monsoon streets to emerald isle,
I navigate uncharted ground,
Each spreadsheet marks another mile
While voices fence my world around.
The pixel screens of yesterday
Have vanished in this northern haze,
Now bound in corporate array,
I count the cost of borrowed days.
Through latticed walls of chrome and might,
I tally fortunes, line on line,
Each decimal a measured bite
Of memories I redesign.
The morning fog transforms the bay,
As numbers dance their strict routine,
While others orchestrate my way,
I drift, unanchored and unseen.

effervescent luminous latticed longing
spreads spectrum in fervent sky
spring-soaked enthralled brush
paints passion
on canvas of heart
portrays life
perched on cracked cinnamon ground
desolate desert pervades
through the faded veins of fragile fallen leaves
rustling hymn of hope
eyes weep unseen tears within
filling the fathomless cauldron of pining pathos
where lies
forlorn life’s remnant essence
reclined on eroded banks of marooned mind
rejuvenated by the symphony of zephyr
wafting from platitude plateau of yearning
melody ripples
in the lilac lake of heart
pulsating enticed with eclectic tune of endless euphoria

Luminous lucent mind
longingly mystique,
made of multi-facetted crystal
of gorgeous gem,
shines sublimely
with translucent thoughts,
glistened by soul-suffusing
sensuous rays,
emanating from
efflorescent fountain
of ebullient emotion
unrestrained.
Clear of cluttering cloud
of secret qualm,
diaphanous psyche
resolutely revolves
in ordained orbit,
shines as a star
in enlightened trajectory,
away from abyss
of ambiguous angst
unrelenting.
The meadow of mind,
clear of convoluted
shadows of confusion,
glows in the transit
of fleeting moments,
latticed with luster
of desiccating dew drops
of passion perception,
sparkling with sequins
of transient euphoria,
conveys with cadence
of evanescent radiance
the rational notion
undeniable....
everything has a time
to come and go.

My volatile mind wandered in the terrain of trance,
drifted in the draft of reverie on its latticed wings,
a lonely bird floated in the sunburst recess of sky,
made the fascinating fresco of formless fantasy.
Captive in the suffocating cage of sordid craving,
I broke the bars in dormant dream to be free,
flew beguiled in zephyr when it began to blow,
fluttered in the thicket of yonder pleasant plateau.
From the dust of the demolished dreams I arose,
the dismal sigh of the desolate heart I heard,
the music of love resonated in ardent symphony,
I glided in its cadence, soared in the bowl of blue.
I heard the whispering spring wind singing for me,
as I serenaded with the silver-lined cloud convoy.
After the storm the spectrum of horizon embraced me,
while I ascended suffused with the colors of twilight.
As the departing rain drops sparkled in my eyes,
through the washed pristine prism I could see
the rainbow hues spread on my dancing wings,
while I returned to the nest as a lonely songbird.

In the live network of intricate unassailable design,
layer on layer, the latticed mind is stratified,
the spiritual strata of the innate awareness align,
unique sagacious patterns of perception are unified.
Many existential attributes of sole distinction gain
access to the sanctum of the secret psychic recess,
transcend undefined the fading limits of joy and pain,
as fluid sense merge with the sea of absolute consciousness.
In my journey within as an introspective explorer,
I discern the enlightened soul in the sanctuary of bliss,
suffusing me with the supreme essence of divinity,
I get liberated from the dungeon of the corporeal abyss.
I am then the immutable hymn of the sanctified soul,
echoing through the melodic strata of consciousness.
The devout mantra intoned in the temple of the heart,
resonates with the symphony of the sacred spirit.
I am the shared essence of the connected oneness,
transcending the self-seeking perimeter of individuality.
The cosmic creator of the resounding silence of eternity
makes my awakened soul proclaim the divine decree I am He.

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.

The serenading stream leaps in swirling rapture
on the dancing shadows of the swaying trees.
The diamond dew drops draping the glinted grass
put lilting latticed diadem on the malachite meadow.
The drizzling moon dust from the sequined sky
embellishes the pearlescent waves of the rolling sea.
In all these I look enthused for my muse.
Up above the majestic mountain’s sliding slopes
waits the sun-soaked summit of ecstasy to be scaled.
Down the verdant valley’s slithering spine
cascades sapphire stream to the picturesque plains.
The rain-washed sky spreads the tapestry of dreams
of chromatic imagery on the rainbow-arched horizon.
In all these I seek out fervently for my muse.
The scarlet sun rises with the grandeur of crystal dawn,
lifts the musk of miasma from the depth of despair.
The wind of imagination blows in mystique mindscape,
raises from dust the flecks of dormant feelings,
wafting in the surging storm of inventive impulse,
on its wings I fly inspired in the fantasy firmament.
That’s when my passion makes me a poet.

Luminous lucent mind longingly mystique,
multi-facetted crystal clear piece of gorgeous gem,
shines sublimely with the transparent thoughts,
glistened by the soul-suffusing sensuous rays,
the innate emanation of efflorescent emotions.
Clear of the cluttering cloud of surreptitious self-qualm,
the diaphanous psyche resolute in the ordained orbit,
stays shining as the stars of clarity shaping the galaxy
by fervent sequins in the enlightened transmuted trajectory
out of the ambiguous depth of abysmal abyss.
The mesmeric meadow clear of confusion shadow,
glows in the transit of the fleeting moments,
latticed with the luster of lucid drops of diamond dew,
sparkling with the gorgeous glitter of pristine sunshine,
looks up to the seraphic sky of untarnished dawn.
The gleaming pearls of euphoria in the argentine night,
make the gossamer motif of stars in passion perception,
convey in convivial irradiance the acuity notion,
everything has a time to come and go,
like the ephemeral instants of effervescent ecstasy.

“At the end of gloomy winter the spring of yearning emits the floral fragrance of love” – Quote by Poet
The serene shade beneath the serenading trees,
the leaves shake with the stroke of spring breeze,
creates the latticed yearning of inspired impression,
filling the empty space of my fathomless depression.
The bursting golden beams of sunset blaze,
pierce the gleaming network of the foliage maze,
carry your glowing essence of euphoria to my heart,
the gloomy cloud drifting across my sky can’t thwart.
The cascading charisma of your sparkling smile,
caressed by the jasmine zephyr for a long while,
flows with your fragrance in mesmeric moonshine,
the radiant fervent night suffuses the sense of mine.
When in spring the chromatic strands of hue
design a new panorama of my longing for you,
the buds spread the odor of your charm magical,
I perceive you emit for me the scent of floral panicle.

With his long narrow beak he drank
drawing out nectar from a flower
it was an Eastern Red Columbine,
an Aquilegia wild desire ...
Nature was singing a sweet refrain
sending sunshine to my visitor
with wings spread he extracted,
using a tubular beak and tongue;
He was a welcome guest
inside this beautiful garden
From a latticed gazebo I espied
as he took delight, in every sip

There is no such thing as an ordinary angel in heaven
each one comes with its own spectrum of light
each one has a duty to attend to;
In God's luxurious crib,
there are no bars no latticed sides
their wings expand between two shoulder blades
fanning out with regal feathers far and wide .
Majestic extensions that fly them to earth
each time someone dies or a mother gives birth;
There is no such thing as just an angel
each one is exceptional and full of energy intent
each one comes with its own endearment and intimacy
intent on saving and protecting,
through grace and love.
