Water's Weakness
There is nothing weaker than water
But none is superior to it in overcoming the hard,
For which there is no substitute.

Light On the Devil's Chord - Day 28
Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit,
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

Colonisation
Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease,
I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic,
carousel of trend and sound adherence merely looming?
some unwitting sentiment an aspirational diction,
reverberation or innuendo pending aftermath augur,

It's not in all the books we read
Souls put to sea
Continual butchery
They carry on crookedly
Trying to coat the truth with something sugary
Some know and don't care others never could agree
A never ending battle where evil...

Descent and Ascent
On an as is where is basis, we fell—
down the elevator shaft of the day,
into the buzz of a fluorescent hum, the smell

Unburdened
The old man sighed
Sitting on a rock next to a pond
Crookedly balancing Yin and Yang between his eyelashes
Conversing with the Lady of the pond
Jade eyes and un-wrinkled time
In Her beautiful face
Held in his hands
An old...

He was the proprietor of lands he had amassed,
dwellings and retainers and a mansion huge and wide
but with just a single doorway to depart outside.

Not Flawed
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”.
That Mona Lisa portrait I got painted "flawed".
I was restless. It's a competition. She said:
'It's okay. Mona Lisa, you so much applaud.
The universe is well-knit in a holy thread…

Blue Hole
...Is a wonder, I must say, with full conviction,
It's a large 'marine cavern' or a 'sinkhole';
That's open wide with many a deviation
Who else except Nature has absolute control?
Blue holes are caves developed over time, it's...

Weathered Windows
Weathered Windows
Savor the meadow as far as eyes grasped;
Wildlife walk gingerly;
Walked behind them, nodded.
Purple and orange wildflowers
Just didn't fit.
Twenty one posts with mildew
Surrounded the thrown out periwinkles;
Left their fate to cover a virgin path.
A path...

RAIN AND FLOOD
Raining all through the night,

Soon, the flood overflew
the wooden bench we

Safe again. Soon again,
The cock crowed crookedly.
He too was...

Chance Encounter
‘Twas on a morning brisk and airy
I met a creature big and hairy.
It glowered at me, and I at it.
I was not afraid, not one small bit.

Usurper
Soft bones
Towing celestial clay
Brutal, the fleshly vehicle
Screeching still
Along its dark an' ancient highway
Where infinite roads, crookedly knot
Tying bow, upon heavens bouquet
Never meant to be begot
Invisible...
Until our dying day
So, pardon me
The land and sea
An’ rapture...

That rambling castle across the landscape bewitched my heart
As though divinity has signed, gorgeous is its art.
Are the cherubims relaxing, spreading out their legs and hands?
Are these archaic, ornate boulders on mountainous strands?
Cave-like, carved curvy...
