Long Glooming Poems

Showering white light illuminates 
  Bright-Moon Bay;
   In the overlooking Moon-Inviting Pavilion,
 Li Bai had raised his twinkling, rich amber
Coloured wineglass
    To invite the same reticent Moon.  ...

Not so long ago your heart was irreparably broken
You didn’t want to hear his name spoken
Your misery was so all-consuming -
And you were full of dooming and glooming -
That the threat of self-harm was bandied...

I must now learn how to laugh!
   Does it start with a smile?
            Maybe not even,

Lurking, reaching, twirling your calling. 
Shaking, waving saw you smiling.
Look so happy, you look so strong.
Stand up tall, then sang a beautiful song.

The wind was blowing north to south.
Staring at you as i sat on...

The glass temple stands at a frightening height
Beautiful crystal panes there was a breathtaking sight
Across the sacred meadows and through the glooming trees
There purched the Temple, above any of what a single eye sees

Crowned on...

Die Rose,
die im Stillen mir schon blühte,
vertrocknet war sie schnell im Morgenlicht.
Und auch ihr Duft,
verging zu schnell, 
Wie kurz geträumter Traum,
der leicht  zerbricht.

Wo dürre Zweige
sich verworren zeigen,
im Dickicht,
hinter frischem Grün,
zeigen sich Blüten bunt
im Farbenreigen,

Some way to be
When the next thing comes along
To find some way
To explain what we think we need
Is it an excuse to blame the world
For what we refuse to see
Unhappy

Unhappy
All the erksome things which count...

Can you hear the sweet sound?
Of care-free birds all high
Singing unknown pretty tunes
If you can… please
Lend me your ears so I can embrace too
 
I heard the sun was out today
Shining its rays into the...

Shyness, more than usual, had been my core kryptonite!
Innocent me! Like a panda bear, in my boyhood! Bright!
Girlish, the grown-ups crowned me! An inauspicious floret!
Praying: May boldness breathes in me by the Holy Spirit!!

Youthfulness, like...

A poem I wrote to my English teacher when she retired.


One amongst the multitude would gaze up in awe
And in his sight he would capture
A moment as unique as it is rare
A hovering globe 
Overflowing...

Colors, I see colors and textures around me. 
The scent of the hot wires and every spark 
that tames the perpetual falling and forever 
running metro. There are people, all sorts of people, 
eagerly waiting,...

Be happy 
For the peace of mind
Be scrappy
And celebrate to go blind 
Of the joy you've find

Never permit 
The drabness in your situation
Never admit 
It could stoke up your reason's activation 
To drive home happiness...

Her name was lust
 and she loved me strong.

she took in my soul
  and exhaled mere particles
of my being.

I, lost in the gentle 
surroundings and
silent whimpers of light 
flowing from her
   eyes....

What Would I Ever Do

Without God what would I ever do?
After the things I have been through
But only best I must be assuming
God with his eyes on me is glooming.

Silence had slipped by into the...

She sat on a small window bench 
Her head resting on her hand
Looking out into the dark glooming
As the silvery moon rose to shine 
On the rippling waves of the bay.

It seems she was winkling...

I see the glistening water,
I see the glittering stars...
The darkest night of the decade,
We've not yet gone through the slaughter...

I want to sleep, but can't let go
The beautiful sight, when the ship row...
Though we've worked...

Days, Months and Years all reach the end 
Time takes them away without suspend  
The rivers farewell the banks, head to the bay 
Our planet never repeats the old pathway 

Man survives by modifying...

What is this?
Some kind of a game, boy?
Thought we were cool!
Now you walk away, ha

What happened to your limp
   You attracted me with your weakness

White's fleeting beauty would never last,
She is now a ghost of the girl in the past
She talks with a voice that could shatter glass
She finds joy in the horrors that have come to pass.

Her face...

I want my sword to water wilting plants, 
Yet not to slay any false foes in wars 
Like an ant killer gobbling helpless ants, 
Or any monstrous beast that walks on fours. 
I see sun...

Surfing With White Whales

Today a heavy sky above the sea shimmers
From white washed black to emerald surfing 
The matching torrents of deepening waters
Lost in the distance of a bated rains marauding 

And countless pristine whales

Man in a hood,
sparking light on the sun
pick peak of wood

In Shah Alam's pavement,

eagerly makes movement

Words fade as a soup in water
Roses are not merely red, you just never heard
From time to time she consumed time like a time slaughter
Winter is gone, the coldness still is kinetic, he's a caged...

The Inland Algarve
 
The landscape so oddly shaped
Had once been a domestic landscape
Walking along narrow cart-wheel
Tracks I often come across the remnant
Of dwellings that once had housed
Poverty-stricken people who had
Ploughed small and reluctant fields
Olive trees...
