Long Evenfall Poems

I am a clown: silly, simple clown. 
People do laugh at me: I often wonder why. 
They call me 'fool' when I am being honest, 
And tell me to shut up when I speak the...

It’s so difficult to sustain the life 
in this senseless-tiresome-dry world, 
and that’s why I decided to fool the world to ease my life.

I took my head out of my shoulders and put it on...

One clear evenfall, on way back to home, 
She speculated a dark figure around. 

She felt tiresome or it was real, 
She moved her steps towards it. 

As she advanced, 
The shape walked ahead too....

Gossamer silk strings were woven into a work of art.
Dandling from a shrub and glittering with dawn impart
As dainty as a mutter, obliterated by an odd downpour.
And the artist must start at the inception of...

GENERATION ZERO

We are the generation zero, born without a hero.
Waiting, waiting for it to happen, caught without a weapon.
To you I turn in my hour of need, part of the same creed.
Our leaders fail us...

Slowly
 Very slowly
 Fall a white feather
Against the weight of earth
 On the  ground covered in dirt 
It lands there 
To be seen 
By the blue eyes 
To be hold 
By a bare hand...

Soccer Match
And so we've finally reached midnight, 
The question was, why did it take so long?
Now the forces of war and darkness are ready for evenfall.

The nuclear clock ran out of time.

It started when Turkey...

Love oneself with all the heart,
And let the expectations shatter,
Leaving you with most beautiful 
Experiences of life. 

I apprehend that someday I unchaste
And all this would not lead to what we desired. 

But know that...

The ultimate ineffable creator,
So, its analogous creations
Coloured with nothing static,
With the ephemeral moment
In transition.

Gray hues at dawn transform
To radiantly glowing horizon,
Altered when arrives evenfall
Then, contrasting flickering night sky
In appreciation.

They drench the thirst of Earth,
The blue...

Twinkle twinkling lights
beyond
beyond my house. . . 
out to where
the mountains
meet low
and blackened clouds.
Twilight time in January
all is bathed in gray.
No rainbowed hues dance hither
to tag this winter's day.

Out to where the lights
across the valley...

As moonlight gleams upon your tanning skin
while drops of crystal form upon that brow--
tufts of hair stroked by ambrosial wind
your eyes begin to dance,   a joyous play 
when evening mist unfurls our rendezvous,...

In charmed slumber throbbing waves break away 
Mist of evenfall, fading from the day
Closing against vast sky into the spring
Moon's brightness. Umber earth and blue birds sing 
Beneath its coverlet. Tulips, poppies, 
Morning glory, moss...

Two young lovers discern from up afar
a night heron in its graceful lithe flight 
searching safe haven as storm hide its star
danger threatening it from its dire plight. 

An owl's screech piercing the veiled evenfall.
Lightning...

Moist with evenfall
A scented flower in full bloom
Breaking July’s last darkness

Its murmuration
In absence
Like silence in a broken glass

Rippling echoes
Penetrating
Through ephemeral shadows

Spilling letters
And undaunting rhythms
Too dense to stifle

But I believe in amber
Carnations and white roses
Pink sunsets...

crepuscular light 
nightfall and twilight gloaming 
fills the stars with dusk 


shimmering through the laurel
the cadence of a quiet evenfall
red violet hues of soft Auroral 
shimmering through the laurel 
the cadence of a quiet evenfall...

A-fter the storm has turned
I-nto a weather so fine; 
S-unday morning light
I-s rising above the line.
S-un has begun to shine, bathing your heart and mind; 
U-nderneath the blue sky, coal clouds are far behind.

N-ight chill...

1.
Highest frigid mount
For a private, odd god walks
betrayed by the ghost

2.
Frosty timberland
A female, great Panther swims
in spite of the frost

3.
A snowy autumn
when a wooden, tall horse runs
because of the king

4.
Dusty cosmos
A faint, exploding star rains

sun to bed
'neath a soft quilt
of stars ...
nightingale song
drifts like hookah smoke ...
crickets rub
their legs -
violins
that weave
magic through
sweet night mists,
beckoning to dreams
to come dance in the dusk -
spin ...
on breaths of twilight.
