though it is not a visible commodity at all
every man and woman are buyer and seller
they either buy or sell love at an uncertain profit
some make interest,...

This is my story…
A headless lighter, a writer
Mix up with silver long metallic
Make the agitations clear cold then warm
Neurons from above became so clear
I can hear my heartbeats like a doldrums
Because I’m just a woman...

Like a blood-red moon on the zenith of the summer sky
Like a crimson bindi on the forehead of a bride, shy
I place you, O anger, within my core consciousness realm.
With agitations of cogitations, within I...

Sickly Annie is so anorexic,
it’s a heartbreaking story 
of bulimic misery
Looking in her madhouse distorted mirror — 
only a frail, starving image 
does Annie see
Always taunted by a silent, bulimia bully,
sticking her tongue out 
at...

          hustle and bustle of daily life!

i've taken up drinking.
talking to a wall.
a wall of confusions.
delusions.
agitations.
in depth analyzation. 
sadness. 
the word 
of the day
of blight.
smite? 
a worldly
glorious 
delight. 
she sits 
in one spot
gladly staring
into a face
a
face
a face
a face
a 
face.
the face
with
eyes.
with mouth.

You glance down upon my desolate soul......
Entrapped within your eyes the silent glitter of the universe.
Your beautiful hair is enlightened by the sunlit waves of the Ganges.....
Let me kneel beneath the ends of this earth...

Keep smiling all the time !!!

Trials and troubles and despairs  are unavoidable
Until one sleeps in the cold embrace of a quiet cellar
Never mind the tribulations that continue returning
Don't lay down your arms while smiling...

At the end of the breakwater
I stand between two extremes.
On one side, the bay's agitations
and hurl of water smashing
against boulders, on the other, 
the calm lick of waves 
barely rising above a ripple. 

Such division...

I saw, indeed, aside a Sisyphus – stone
A lonely old little daisy standing alone
Fading and dying and nearly decaying
Closer to the brink of its grave bending
In her heart seemed a caterpillar, hanging
Suffering its final stage...

How shall I deal with this wandering mind?
Meandering through a meadow of ideas,
Seeking truth among noxious weeds I find

Since early childhood I have been curious
Always sifting through my brain’s cogitations
Accepting new concepts; discarding previous,

Tossing thoughts...

For ages I became impotent and voiceless
And agitation built up rage in nous though
I took the white precipitate for composure
Many mistook me for a shameless addict...

Emotional violence drove out the beast in
Me and now that...

I inflict the exact triumph of 
wisdom
My heartbeat confides in the 
mist of conflicts
I see myself as pawn
In the world where humans 
controlled my destiny
I've lacked a sense of power
And life became a mental 
causality
Where...

Remove the mainstreams ill descent
and still the virtue bears relent
why must the battle seek descent
while courage musters, painless, meant!

Then brush it on, the daylight's dawn
while I unfettished, still go on
not compromised ~ without a gain

Seeing you have not come with me, nor spent 
This day's suggestive beauty as we ought, 
I have gone forth alone and been content 
To make you mistress only of my thought. 
And I have...

(For Prof. Wolfgang Zach)

The kids beheld a bright face
Beaming like an emblem
Of the new photo-sky:
Subliming all our nativity
Sublimating our eagled rites.

His eyes were so sharp
Two fruits of nature!
Two seas of blossoming love:
Twinkling in a raw...

Oh, I sit here so uninspired
on my rear like a blown out tire.
'Twas, yesterday there was brilliance abound,
but, alas there is none to be found.

My head is full of petty agitations
of my lovely children's manifestations.

Who am I
In the mists of reputable world
That holds no guarantee to no 
one
Who am I in the dunes of 
flowing seas
That roars with vitality
Yet with furious waves
Washing out what it considers 
weak 
Who am...

Am I awake or asleep?
Is this a vision?
Or some day dream?
Am I sleepwalking and dreaming
And talking all at once?

I see a new bred bud
Burst forth from around the Niger.
Like a multi-dicotyledonous seed.
Splitting into several parts
And...

come tonight
be calm 
be more closed
this is bed 
bed of the far sky
starry flowers bloomed not high 
moon blueness the sheet 
soft more than autumnal breeze 
come, be calm on it 
close your eyes;
