Long Greyish Poems

Afterwards.

Didn’t we once used to smile and laugh?

Or are tight and grim.
I vaguely recall a...

Hair gets grey, withers he but seldom wise 
To know why nothing thrills him more than lies, 
Why man’s pen portrays obscure truths in grey, 
Why his mind’s chisel carves out misty clout 
So grotesque...

But, despite their seeming poignance they are not additionally puissant, no. 
I have seem them, wrapped in warmed and moist leaves:

At Rotterdam in Netherlands
I made plenty of window friends
I could reach out to them 
whenever I missed my own
friends and near ones back home.

The window facing the South unfolded
the beautiful, enchanting river Masse.

SO MUCH DEPENDS...(Inspired by The Fault in Our Stars)

So much depends upon the girl with red current meandering from her woman
And the clots of clumped up thoughts that occasionally disturb her flow.

Here comes a mom duck a crackling, 
All her flock close by following— 
All of the chicks seventeen 
That makes alive wetland scene. 

In fresh-water swamps comb ducks breed,
Togetherness their sole creed 
Till they disperse...

Hitherto a sleepy way-lost village,
Shall now enter history’s fresh new sheet,
Vain may turn lessons of its farm college,
That would wonder how men should the greens treat.   

Poor greens to greed shall now the...

Each new day begins with a sunrise.
As the night gives way to the light, the sun slowly rises.
As you watch a new day begin, you see a greyish glow.
Then daylight overcomes the darkness the new...

How will I describe your beauty with rainy season?
You are lovely,lovelyest and moderate like county family

Many years it had been since Sir Heathcliffe was home,
He had travelled in countries abroad;
He left in his grief at the death of his wife
While he wrestled with sorrow and God.

He had been round the...

On my first trip to the outback across the endless plains,
I saw a harsh and hungry land in pastel coloured stains.
There are more secrets out there, than sun and shifting sand -
It would take more...

Hardly anyone would I trust,
In my dark days, they are now past,
Altered me was the journey last,
And the change came rather too fast.

When the goal seemed to be too tough,
And I didn't have the strength...

Sav[i]our
The white winter mist encases my lungs, 
Like the smoke of my last cigarette did; 
Sweet, soothing, real. But like me, not bitter.
For the longest of times, I could not speak.
I could not sing, and...

Birds flying away, scattering greyish skies
Ebullient landscapes changing with sunrise
Autumn arriving briskly with chilling air
Umbrellas opening yelling November beware
Trees undressing with full colors displaying
Illusive temperatures plummeting and staying
Falling leaves mastering paintings, Van Gogh
Underground creatures are...

ALLADDIN’S LAMP
Walking a day by Almeria’s desert
Where are shot Western films
And other variegated games
Suddenly I put mine’s right foot
In the Alladdins’ mouth lamp
And, in a flash, I heard a voice saying:
-Shocking mistake¡ During I was...

The kindling has been laid
The match was put to the dry, dry wood

The sap from a pine smeared
Onto clothing made from hides of deer

Not all organisms and lifeforms cry tears
Across a dark and bright sphere
Objects quite near
Or at distances of millions of light years

My mind clear
I'm sincere

Surely you are a body heavenly
for you pull magnetic upon my soul
but ever since you retreated
Gravity felt onto my every whole

Calidity ever soft on my face
I can only but whisper your name
Pallid without your embracing...
