For the gardens we vacated in...

Or down yet another city street,
This Way down that grand Hiway,
That Third Eye opened:
Random patches of dandelion manifest,
Climbing the overgrown commons by the road;

So sick, ashamed, tuke-deh-blaim guilty 
And tired of your sarcastic comments that tease me on purpose

You’re my lone star
You’re my one and only love in mind so far
On my mind for many years
You shine away all my tears

You took me to your rivermend
You lift me higher than my riverbed and...

I've made promises to survive before
To those I'd never see again
To those who couldn't keep it themselves
To those who don't know I exist

And here I am on the other side of 27

The genie in the bottle  beside Alladin's lamp
awaiting the cue to perform her dance

In arrant essence, without a fight,
Herald of vamps, in the dead of night
Ushers a raw wave that captivates,
The heights of the cosmos resonate.

I'm so perplexed, so perplexed

Did I just send that nasty text?

I’m so bewildered, bewildered…

I hung out with the wrong herd



I need tons of godliness

I need some gladness

I need some happiness

I need to make progress



I want...

We sped into space with aspirations grand.

As we neared lightspeed, we saw pulsars,
And twinkling stars, deep space memoirs.

The cosmic sights were dazzlingly unreal-
Red giants and colorful...

Watching our Earth clad in sparse swirling white sarée
Her aqua-marine waters cuddling her reddish brown body-surface
The dazzlingly rare Pearl now throttled...

Curved or carved; you shine painted in red, green, purple, or blue;
As the rainbow is placed splendidly on bone china clay,
With many musing and mourning...

I floated into the windless sky of the tranquil night visited by minuscule stars
that were subdued by dim moonbeams calling for some gleeful dreaming;
and I wistfully dreamed of a lovelier and calmer planet remembering
two kind...

Wild willow tears
A poignant elegy to ecstasy
weeping as if embraced by a light breeze
Suspended in a sad splash of water

Her eyes drooped
regarded the aqua pond
There are willows in her bay
Her tears are trickling down
You are...

Once the Sinis floppers' nerves acted up in bunches, 
Scandinavians had no way to head off sucker punches.
Sacks of scamming slapstick, slap bass,
and farcefest, thick and fast, came to pass.
Not a clod of sunstruck dung...

September morn flutters its bright wings
Radiant colors of love and joy it all brings
Never just a dream
Drizzles fuse with summer air in delight
Rainbow looms are strewn in vast site

Death of a loved one

Fifty-five years! More or less! I did not know, then,
How, to your adieu, o mother, I said Amen;
Later, like the ache of an amputated limb,
Existence, like a gloom-glaring jail cell, grew...

Tea kettle steam and curtseys greet queenly company.
"Quaint" dainty danishes are dazzlingly displayed
with quintessential utensils and dishes.
