With darkness scintillating in my soul,
And the seven of wands in my hold,
I take up the challenge upfront,
Paper planes ready to fold.

The sea washed away my sandcastles,
But isn’t history made of the remains?
Lies may plunge...

Perusing the tomes of esoterica,
One truth I've learnt indeed,
Not one book contains it all.

Some piece gleams a sky, oust our atmosphere,

A Liquified Desert

A peacock glissades as a trail triggers,
an ambience of turquoise and chartreuse,
for it sparsely spreads as its glass mirrors,
neath a ceiling stain aquamarine blue.

left by wayward wind.

He gazed down from atop the seven hills 
at the city’s crumbling glory,
And let his...

Yon there, the charioteer of Sun
Heralds the arrival of dawn,
Seen dawning her demur more smiles
That spread on to far spatial miles.
She inches close with a pleasant face,
Her beau, Sun, to embrace,
Ever so slowly baring her...

a hackney carriage full of hackneyed clichés

REASON

Onto the veiled
Path of reality that,
Among myriad trails of
Phenomena unfolds
