Premium Member Love Leaves One Breathless

“Love can change a person’s life, leave him breathless, either building him or breaking him”~ By Poet

*               *             *            *

Cupid the great archer,
Shoots his arrow heedless!
On some, it cuts through the heart.
On some others, it only scrapes through.
On a few, it misses the target.


Once shot down, it leaves one breathless.
Heart trumpeting, shifting from one beat to another,
Rhythmically, making it pound quicker.
Opens in one the inlets of pleasure.


It makes one ecstatic and foolish,
With thoughts disjointed, emotions running amok. 
Spirit confounded and compounded.
It is madness, a pleasant kind of madness!


It comes and goes, leaving one breathless.
Guts highjacked by anxiety or ecstasy,
Always in throes of a pleasant ache,
Making the heart run a race, keeping one on his toes!


Love starts differently in varying intensity,
But it ends in a familiar way, in the same manner. 

The sweetness ends,
      infatuation dies,
 sour taste lingers,
      boredom persists!

Premium Member Just a Drop of Water

humidified life

nourishes a thirsty mind

like poetry it settles

on a leaf of emotion

transpires ideas

while insects feed

on nectar 

and manna

from somewhere appears

on reason and feelings


inlets and outlets

cascades of poetry

set free and

captured in the moment


another droplet

lowers the guards

hangs on to a twiglet

for weaver birds 

to build a nest

to rest and nurse

the young ones


a web of inspiration

such ambrosia

I would not trade it

for a pot of gold


a quiver for arrows

ink for the pen

a fountain of inspiration

a well in motion

nature’s tear of joy

just a drop of water

Premium Member Is Love a Mirage

In the folds of night, as a wave, you came
Charioted in a filmy dream
All night you were with me
In love’s uncharted land, we roamed

You sang to me sweet rhymes of love
Echoing the lore of romantic lovers
Your voice choked and moist with passion
Overwhelming me with an ecstasy so rare

You fondled me with infinite tenderness
Opening in me all inlets of pleasure
Our hearts with divine furore filled
And we knew love’s sweet benediction

In the seclusion of that silvery night
Looking into the corners of your love lit eyes
I saw an ocean of rising and receding tides
And took a dip in the whirlpool of love

All night I inhaled your scent
Knew the warmth of your breath
Siphoned the sweetness of your lips
Alas! With dawn, you faded away like dew

Premium Member Hogarth Phrasis Inlets of Beauty Recited

INLETS OF BEAUTY
Shell like and thin,without and
within,whose surface naturally
co-incide.Straight rays from the
eyes,horizontal,perpendicular,
grace with beauty personified.
Simplicity,intricacy uniformity
 Quanitified.inlets of beauty
evident,entertaining the eye
glutted with variety.A plain
space,pleasant to see,scroll
and volute in symmetry,surprised 
by mimicry to avoid regularity.
Simple,distinct enjoying with
ease, in cone form or pyramid
will ever please.Allegory,riddle
where angles amuse,magnitude
ill-shaped,adds greatness to grace,
a broken line to enhance each
face.Lines  entwine,twisting
then un-wind.Serpentine,well
composed adds variety to art,
waving,dotted or straight,elegant
grace in our eye will impart.

From Hogarth’s Analysis of Beauty

*A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet)  to compile  unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase.


Listen to me read this phrasis of mine on youtube under the name of icthyschiro

Premium Member Inlets and Islands

Amidst these inlets and islands
Lies a land of a patriot nation
Where clans decree their might
Together in mixed relation

From the Lowlands to the Highlands
Family names of a forgotten past
Deliver us to their present
For these surnames are here to last

Sunrises and sunsets have so greeted
Many a morn and an eve has been seen
To be born into such a nation
Through their eyes, you see just your dream

For to be born on the land of the heather
Through Glens of bracken and fern's
Birthed into one of their clans
Your first breath you have duly earned

Amidst these inlets and islands
Lies a land of a patriot nation
Where clans decree their might
Welcome to Alba, the ultimate creation

Premium Member The Power of Words

some words wound and some heal
some words seeping down, hearts steal.
some words hit hard, some deeply cut
some meant to praise, but some to insult.

      some stay inert, dead on the lips.
      some cement cracks, but some widen gaps.
      some serve as balm to those who are broken.
      some, to beautiful relationships, new doors open.

some words comfort, some are aimed to assault.
some, hit hard and pierce like a thunderbolt
God, help me utter words that uplift
use right words at the right time, a gift.

       I know words have the power to heal n' hurt
       to bring joy and tears alike in other’s heart.
       Lord anoint my lips with grace to utter words sweet,
       so that, in others, they would open inlets of delight.

Premium Member Your Love Pulls Me

In the hush, hush silence of a twilight eve
Heard the gentle crooning of a dove.
She was nestling close to her love.
What thrill its lingering echo did give!

It opened in me the inlets of delight,
When my heart was longing for love.
My blues, it did instantly shove,
Illumining my heart with blazing light!

The sight and sound of those birds in love,
Roused in me a throng of lovely sensation,
Making my heart and spirit rise in elation-
A presage of love’s fruition from Heaven above.

With their merry crooning that resounded from far,
In my heart, hope’s flame began burning bright.
I felt like swimming in the sea of delight,
At the thought, I would soon have my love near.

He makes me feel safe even in the storms of life.
In the thoughts of his presence, my heart takes flight.
When he holds my strings, I am like a well navigated kite.
As far as he is with me, I come through life’s every strife.

In every adversity, it is the hope of his love,
That pulls me and gives my heart a buoyant lift.
With the warmth of his love, from life, all dark clouds drift.
How I wish to be nestled close to him as this happy pair of doves!

Premium Member Hunters and the Sea

Below earth, streams release the arteries
 of the undersea teeming with precious
abalone, granite and shells,
as a roulette of lotus defies gravity
soaking on the chlorine of a wind
only piles of sand can bestow…
and  gentle the wavelets murmuring
  hymns of serenity , somewhat delicate 
as ocean mouth is to fish lips in the moist pulse
of swelling spaces for wooden fleets 
to beckon the blue.

Like so, guardian of water observes the cruise 
of a ship rustling a masthead…
 intrusive vessels are aliens
 to the underworld: greedy eyes, black hands
that rake mothers of pearl and babes of dolphins.
Fierce dugongs roll along, shaking the basement 
of hunters’ boats on inlets
 to pound doors of Neptune’s bed,
 reflecting mirrors of an island scented
with coconut and tresses of women
bathing along coasts of such innocent gulfs.
Below earth, a divide between friends and foes 
is honored; that beyond words, 
a sea keeper rises to acknowledge
 the kindness of strangers,
if they are kind enough to respect the gift of privacy.

Premium Member Rise And Fall

inspired by The Platters song, ‘Ebb Tide’

Rise And Fall
Salty tears ebbing away on moon’s tide
as whispered love echoes on ocean waves
across caramel sands where hearts reside.

Coves of sheltered inlets harbour veiled caves
that glistens with laced, seaborne aqua foam 
as whispered love echoes on ocean waves.

 I caress the shoreline where oft I roam
under wistful, silver of shallow sky 
that glistens with laced, seaborne aqua foam. 

Footprints merge upon sands of time as my
lover waits with arms of open embrace
under wistful, silver of shallow sky.

Bodies cling, like sea to shore, face to face
with the rise and fall on ocean’s tipped crest,
lover waits with arms of open embrace

and I wander no more at peace to rest —
salty tears ebbing away on moon’s tide
with the rise and fall on ocean’s tipped crest
across caramel sands where hearts reside.
