"Books and boys have enmity my girl”
Generations of women said to me,
Old is gold
But I missed a step, tripped over my books and fell hard for you!
You see, when I decided to love you 
I...

When you proclaimed all slaves in the U.S.A. to be freed, it meant the total abolishment of the slavery system, I suppose.  When you issued the Emancipation Proclamation, I think what you had in...

--Evil starts as germinated seeds,
noxious weeds of social infestation,
spreading and suffocating human diversity,
pushing all freedoms into extinction,
the loss of Liberty's creed,,
--Men-Women birth their offspring,
but raised by the State,
alienated offspring grow into bastards,
by design to this...

Volga – 4

to the homoeopathy phial
standing on the traffic-island 
why it appears 
within her womb
the number of germinated nights
stolen without a kiss
is too little

is then it true 
if all the chanting of Harinam
can’t be withdrawn...

My sister and I have different personalities
Never alike, two peas from the same pod,
but not germinated for the same Winter crop.
We never argue over mundane trivialities.
I like halibut, but she always chooses cod,
and I prefer...

So still and beautiful lays the rose in the heather,
Lifeless and dying, given to bring you happiness,
So fragile is this rose laying in heather,
Slowly withering and drying, crumbling to a powder,
I look at you and...

Greetings.  We received your toxic tax documents today; proceeded to immerse them in the de-cootie wash for precisely 30 minutes; then showered them with Gamma Ray’s, which is not what you think it is,...

The only immortal beings are the poets...
in whose heart the hourglass of the cosmos turns,
Their words are the blood coursing through the veins of eternity,
And every verse they whisper is a star born over the...

My life devoid of exotic adventure
(in fact...yours truly
never set foot outside the United States,
nor took to the skies, yes...how bore)
ring, the solitary endeavors,

not an onerous unbearable chore,
although (as mentioned in a previous poem)
this fellow rarely...

Love is ultimate, but with you it was fatal.
I had lots of laughter not until I said “I love you too!”.
Number two was my certified location
b’cos I’ve always reverenced you so high
at the topmost of...

My Vine

In the depth of your arms, time lays down its dreams softly,
Under the velvet of the moment, every burden turns into a silent thorn.
Oceans of trials I traverse, when I find solace and purpose,
In the...

I'm fraughting with fear

Fear of rise in temperature
Fear of sinking blood pressure

Fear of developing a lump
Fear of a funny happy jump

Fear of cough and cold
Fear of every pain untold

Fear of burns in throat
Fear of blood...

"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry."

A long compulsory season slowly crossing the fragile bridge
human biology gets heated up, growth in need of a fridge
she’s his aunt, beautiful and a sexual supernumerary
his heart has germinated roses for so long, celebrating a...

I’ve lived an age encased in far-off woods.
This place is desolate in seasoned sun;
a place of darkness holds a muted light.
With oak, a sapling's life's always too dull. 
But air below its crown is trapped...

I want to be a farmer but my soil is oh, so po –
We gathered up some chicken poo and spread it with a hoe.
We plowed the dirt, amended it and straightened every row.

From the moment a seed is germinated, it takes in all the good nutrients it needs from the earth.
It instinctively knows its destiny it knows its purpose and it knows its worth.
From birth, all mankind...

Like Abraham Maslow's highest Hierarchy of needs theory,
You are a ruler, self actualized and need not to worry.
You look down to downgrade the poor from your mansion,
That has been your passion.

You shine so bright like...

time slides ever to the right,
neither scabrous skidding mark,
nor faint leavings of wisdom’s feast,
only gouged furrows, upturned days,

to love only ideas of love, 
inane this hate of a cruel gentle kiss,
blackened hollow, sunken chest,
banal sacraments...

**************
there is a place
it's in your heart
morning dawning
lights the day
there is a place
eagles soaring
in skies of blue
there is a place
where dreams
of promises
really do come true
there is a place
where pipers play
music of lands
where you are bound
