The Oracle of Dali's Faith
The Oracle of Dali's Faith
There are four things I cannot know—
The ways that love will come and go,
The thread that holds though time has flown,
And hearts that speak when words are gone.
I’ve not sat with kings, nor claimed the Throne,
Yet wisdom whispers where wild seeds are sown.
The eagle circles where no path is shown,
And

Emotional Buffet 4
The duties are paid, yet restless remain these eyes,
Without my beloved’s sight, in vain remain these eyes.
His radiance softened my roughness away,
Helpless in their watchful pain remain these eyes.
Truth is no healer holds a cure to impart,
Afflicted with the illness of heart remain these eyes.
I cannot accept that another may see,
Slayers of grief and

In the picture you seemed far more fair,
Only smiling, only there.
Must it always be adorned attire?
Just behold the soul is there.
Not every moment is a dear one near,
Yet in the silence, she stands there.
In love, I’ve become like Huzaifa at last,
She rules the heights, her throne is there.
Peace itself has turned away from me,
Now

With A Gentle Hand - Mystic
With a gentle hand,
You balance the world while its feet are still untried…
little fingers twist like seashells
around the promise of tomorrow.
Love is gentle in this place;
it hides within a cradle song,
a steady thrum of trust
leaning into your heart.
Every touch becomes a promise
each embrace a refuge -
showing the fragile ones
that gentleness carries power.
When the lullabies grow

For Life Demands It
I have read a lot of books
Not sure what I remember of them
Written a lot of poetry
Yet cannot recite any of it
I have lived a lot of days
Faint memories entwined
In fluffed and softened lies
I cannot unentangle them
I have loved and been loved
Shared the pain and joy of both
Inhaled the breath of generations
Destined to remember me
I

A Moment of Love on the Road
A moment of love on the road
When I cross the road, the cars stop
I see the drivers. I feel them for friends
I wave a thank you to them. Feel them for friends
They wave back to me. Feel them for friends
This was a moment. It repeats. Always
We are people. Don’t be angry. Put smile
Take a smile
We

Please, Get My Life
Just get my life
Hmm. Out of love. Out of order. Dry field
No green lawn. Walk on dry land. Unloved
Hmm. Unloved. Empty of love. True. Hmm
Hmm. Always was true. Never lie. Dark star
In the sky. Invisible, imperceptible desire
A dead hope, solitude, motionless, this life
Motionless restlessness. Without lust for life
But believe. A bit. In life. Need a

The Breath of Life
Breathe...breathe with all your might
Inhale the soft breeze of life's essence
Love...love with all your might
Regale o'er wide seas of love's presence
Hate...hate blinds love's insight
In Hell, a disease of life's essence
Fate...fate binds love's insight
Regret won't appease its presence

Can We Do It Together?
Can we do it together?
“Hi! How are you?” an Indian lady asked me.
After work, I left the building of my workplace.
She also worked there. Just in a different department.
This company is in Greenford. Very nice. It is in London.
“Do you have children? Do you have a family?” she asked.
“No, I haven’t”, I answered. “Can we
