And then?
Then? What then? What about the Bare legs Seeking address Wait. Be a snail. Then the hours Began undressing And then? Wait. No unleashed Impulses. The earth tilts Towards the sun Here in India Dusk thickens In California Legs in line Mostly bare For the dancing hall Sea and seagulls Some vultures too Mingled with the Moneylenders Waves and wavelets Tipsy and tottering Hard...

In sky called life beauty shined bright, where butterfly flew free, weaving the lattice of delight, flowers bloomed charm for me. My volatile mind wandered in a trance, drifted in the draft of its dreaming wings, floated toward the sunburst horizon, made a fresco of formless fantasy. The dawn splashed the spectrum of bliss. As I was...

Premium Member And Again Tomorrow
And again tomorrow With purple flowers, And the sun above Or clouds and showers Another day comes To rise and to shine, More than enough time To breathe, to feel fine Between dawn and dusk A thousand minutes go, Around and around In moments so slow Another night comes To pause and to rest, Gives us time to smile Knowing we did our best And again tomorrow One more...

Premium Member Trident of Life
Yesterday is wrapped loosely in the barbs and silky vapor of memory Tomorrow is a Mahogony wall of hope- anxiety -what if ascensions and falls the Present is a roll on an ocean of crests and troughs flippers and fins slash and clicks a gentle perfumed sail into tomorrow or into a bow crushing siren of a grand sudden sorrow. ...

Behind A Late Sky
I've cut through life with grand experience. Now I'm old and standing on the precipice where a man finds what really matters. The dance of life gradually slows down, with nothing but a pocketful of memories. Facing that last hurrah and the joys and sorrows that make life all the more lived. ...

The mind and wing
A small bug walks just like a thief, It does not know pain, it does not know grief. It does not ask, “Why am I here?” It lives its life without a fear. The bug runs when the light is strong, But it forgets—it moves alone. It does not think of life or death, It only feels the light, the breath. But I...

Premium Member Life, death and everything In between
Years of growth, years of wonder. Years of thought, years of plunder. Years of dreaming, years of hopes. Years of late nights, years of beers. Years of baggage, years of stress. Years of commitments, years of doubts. Years of love, years of responsibilities. Years of pressure, years of strain. Years of mortgage, years of pain. Years of fatigue, years of wine. Years of laughter, years...

FRACTURED LIGHT
In the mirror's gaze, a stranger's face Eyes that once shone bright, now dim with time The weight of shadows, a heaviness that clings A heart that beats with doubt, a soul that sings A whispered lie, a voice that won't subside "You're not enough, you'll never be alright" The echoes of memories, a bittersweet refrain A longing for solace, a search...
