from anthroprivileged me
to LeftBrain dominant you
for multicultural us.

I'm still here
sinking into my deep blue camp chair
with feet resting on a weathered
wooden platform
for my monastic tent

Now folded
and masterfully squeezed into its...

riding on a good or indifferent wave

the Island can welcome you with open arms
or four years later send you on...

As a lamb going for rather cutting, 
She was dragging him with a chain, 
Bitter than a gall and deeply suffering, 
His soul was lying in a groove pain. 

He - being patient in silence...

Big ripe Mcintosh apples found lying on the ground
Release sweet juiciness when their finders take a bite.
Ibises of scarlet stand elsewhere in the world without a sound
Gathered underneath a crimson sky awaiting night.
Hovering near bushes...

THE MEADOW

Spread
Neath umbilical sky
On nutrient Earth
She stands alone this noon

Surrounding woods
Mountains
Distant structures
Seem to encase the lush green plot
Have taken on a sunny sheen

Then there is this peaceful babbling brook

Easing down gently into his arms on cloud nine
Trailing the scent of his presence 
Tempting memories to stay forever quintessence 
In the mind, heart and soul never letting go
Nor be...

Sly fox, you deceiver
Trying to make me a believer
Tempting me
Pre-empting me
Of your bogus lies, I am the receiver

Batting your eyes, my ego’s stroked
I’ve fallen for your foxy...

Silent leaves, whooshing in serene showers
Easy to guess forests are born of hope
Pretty hues in gold, rum, toasted flowers
Tempting souls blessed by soft rains who shan’t mope
Endless nights spent with stars, gentle and bright,
Melodies of...

Affected.
Somehow my hair stayed wet.
And I thought of upside down merry go rounds.
Never raised up, but pulled away.
I let my vision blur, then can't bring it back.
What would be a reverse cuckoo?
Ptyalizing as if pre-empting...

Sun-ripe strawberries oh so sweet
Tempting swollen fruit to eat
Red berries in dish of cool ice-cream
Awesome moment a summer dream
Wonderful taste lingers on tongue
Beloved by all of us old and young
Each afternoon a strawberry wish
Ruby rhapsody...

with a hearts glow to melt the burning sand.

Storm is brewing outside,
lightening striking the ground
with burning white fingers.
Demanding attention with crackling
thunder sound.

While inside past the rain stained
window panes is brewing a
pot of Darjeeling tea.
Soothing is the golden liquid
as it warms me from this

On topics and themes, dreams
Everything imaginable – far reaching
