I
The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless
Mausoleum 
With a chlorinated pool
Where one day...

Last night I had a vision
of a magic hummingbird
Who’d come with mystic wisdom
to a question he once heard

My dream became a story 
that was written just for you
upon a prism rainbow   
he created...

To write a song titled "sunrise like a poem."

I said...

An inner earthquake rattles him again
             as the fiery sun dips in the horizon

A deeper silence diffuses rapidly around Nature waiting
for its awakening, a shine less, discontent and wandering 
star gleams with a scarcely light so murky and feeble;
then dissipates itself in the faded, whitish blue; the blinding

He loves me utterly and
Embraces me unconditionally.
His tender touch flushes away 
All my pains and fears and insecurities.
His smile enlightens the universe within me,
And picks my broken heart from that sad sea
That no one ever...

Knife of ICE
Bare Naked
 It leaves no
 Fingerprints
       Kills
       With
       ALIBI

Look out into the darkness and hear the remnants of cities. 
The faint, ghostly echo of music wafting through the air, carried by the smell of cigarette smoke before it grows stale, 
that diffuses the...

Shivering as I put my hands into my pockets,even with
the thick gloves worn on the hands,it was as if they are
naked.I wonder when I`m going to get use to this weather?.
I`m freezing as I stand...

I was in the inn with the matron having my ration
of palatable onion soup so as to set things in motion,
then came in a fat man with a bad notion,
who opened his mouth to spread...

Illuminatus
I don't know how a prisoner fits in a cell
how the matrix of justice gives energy
to the inner thoughts using mitochondria
the dentist never seems to smile
the chemist does not like fire wax
and politician does like...

Up to my face she came.
I knew a storm was brewing.
She pointed an accusing finger in my face,
then took a step back and screamed
a tirade of venomous abuse in my direction.
I smiled as I headed...

Half solid half softened whence the moon sheds saturninity down to a boudoir maudlinly marooned.
Half directly half deviously whether the night wind sneaks to snoop about the notes therefrom crooned.
Half mauve half blue, with empty...

Our earthbound concepts stifle and betray.
By living in the now, our every move’s
testimony to desires wrought in tales. 
Our actions marred by spectacular fail, 
but many lessons learned are treasure troves,
still earthbound concepts stifle and...

The sorrows that assail my heart
Heralding the free flow of forlorn tears
Tears unaccompanied by the usual cries
Tears of a heavy heart
That's what they are,
Tears borne out of heart over - weighed by sorrows
That's what they...

Every day love is a journey,
I have vowed to make, come rain come sunshine,
I have vowed to walk in this path of fullness and peace,
To search that soul that will forever give me eternal comfort.

and beautiful she steps around the sage
The mists embrace her dream on this...

Sausage or suya* ?


Sausage or suya ?Give me the latter;
The craft of maisuya* is grand
He cleans guts like a housesitter,
Weaves all like caterer’s fondant
Liver, kidney all in a meaty bag
Smokes same like german grill
Variety often...

Like a huge pride of lions roaring at ease
From a hidden cavern in the distance ,
The disturbed  robust sea diffuses resonance  -
In an infinite expanse of sonorous breeze

The heavy,  grey clouds gathering...

What!
Coffee can is empty
He saw in the bin

Earlier,
It's aroma diffuses around the room
Awake, but right on bed he rests
So, it soothes.

Inspiration flows afterward
