Return from Egypt
Matthew 2:19-23

After the Christ’s left for Egypt, where they avoided King Herod,
For five whole years, because in the fifth year Herod simply died,
Mary and Joseph arose, took the boy and his joinery wear,...

At six o’clock the road turned bare
as we rode through Tennessee.
From Nashville to Memphis is a long,
dark stretch of gray and brown trees
and fields where no one ever walks or works.
I’ve often wondered who owns...

Why don’t you come now
To the plot of blue river shore 
Where we would
In an intense chocolate mood
Sit in a sun rise satisfaction
On the grainy sand
And create pearl drops of time
From the rhymes of waves
With...

Cold nights and tree lights taught him to forget home.
He’s mellow tonight though, no telling what goes unknown.
He packs light and steps heavy and taps his fading flashlight and I bet he’s a lefty.

Until infinity
In any vicinity
Let me put it out there officially
I smoke and drink religiously
Call it the holy trinity
Initially
You'd think it does not mean s*** to me
And that all of it was done deliberately
Don't need your...

As golden Sun is shining bright,
blue molecules of light flow out
into our atmosphere to blend
and fill our space with soft sky blue.

The color blue is so serene,
as in our oceans' sapphire tint,
or lakes that mirror...

I pierced the clouds with my fore-finger
And the blood-stain touches my body 
the wind which makes the doors and windows 
open to public view I can’t stare at its eyes
I push the storm towards the...

What a dream girl woman I mean like all
the stars heaven and cosmos never to fall
orbits moons sun wind fire water and earth
never in light years a drought and no dearth

We danced our mobile...

Red planet in the dark, 
Iron Oxide lights your spark.
In search of great, there is not much greater,
then the planet of valleys, deserts and craters.
Spots of white look not unlike snow,
but, in fact, are storms...

Dust dry winds that leech and parch,
Skeletal soldiers that endlessly march
O'er barren sand and rocky crest,
Examples of nature's cruel jest.

Plants that bristle with vicious quills;
A land that teems with ancient ills.
Cursed and blighted by gods...

"A stupid Battle"
So much I always had in mind
Another toke and drink of Spanish Wine
Back in flight among satellites
In multiple ways an increase in appetite
Continuing to strategize
I'm not here to 'catch a vibe'
They always try...

My Country Tis Of Thee 
My American Heritage. 
One old leather boot,and a tennis shoe,a cause celibre. 
A belly full of alkaline water in the desert. 
Squirting out all of my survival. 
Looking closer on...

Body in yoga positions unyielding
Sun light in angles to play with the eyes
Nimble lit fingers are all concentrating
waiting for brain-waves to signal, advise
all for the loosing of splinters
Caught from the deck in an afternoon bathe

Mad shadows dance in the corners of my room
See them sink like paint into the walls 
Hellfire! If they had caught me unawares
Where’s the game in that, my friends, I’d be dead but

I have eyes...

butterfly sits serenely, it's wings unhinged
sucking sweet floral juice un-impinged
by matters bigger, of a more peopled face
emotions acrid alkaline, or bitter base

that many of those humans seem to display 
'stead of slurping the juices of...

Khar!

An alkaline extract!

o! momma
everytime I think of the dish
whether it is the beloved 
amitar khar (i know as papaya khar),
tiyohor khar (i know as cucumber khar),
khar dal (i know as khar with lentils),
not to quit

Someone is beside me in this hall,
Staring at the first room of all,

Baffled from the fall I felt the emptiness it share,
It did not spoken nor it move from my side,
It pointed in the direction...

I have million words hanging around my thoughts
moreover, your poison scatters vividly in my imaginations
Your soft spoken voice give me shivers down my spine
Your presence tastes like the finest alkaline

I couldn't help myself

IN SPITE OF MILING FRUSTRATION

Let not the miles and mile
Downs and frustrates
Our longings and hoarse feelings
As distance is another promise
To remain steadfastly true.

Frustration is wishful distraught alkaline
Keeping us to be alive
Through artificial life sustaining button
Hindrance...
