THE TENTH WAVE
The rain drops prick the skin of the sea
Tumble with the urchins in the water,
The black water, so heavy, tired--
Watching it tic tac toe in millions of tiny rings
Tic tac toe, three by three by three
Up until infinity--
As scores of seagulls watched from buoys
Red sky at night, sailor's delight
Isn't that how it goes?
All hands on deck! All hands!
Until then came, out of the night sky, a wind
With the sound and fury of a thousand black horses
Pummeling down on the water, the great, fearsome ocean
And stirring it up like a bowl of soup
All hands!
The great boats all groaned in protest,
Their wet, wooden bellies full
Reeds choking shores uprooted and flew at the storm
The whole world seemed to be feeding the storm,
Which would not be satiated, but howled for more
Chunks of earth, wood, sail, even human souls
Would not appease such an appetite
And then, in the pulse of three hours, a brief
Quiet...
...an aching silence
where the sun deceived them
By shirking off the clouds for a moment
Hear the call of the birds...
Red sky at morning, at morning, at mourning
It was then that the waves began--
Undulating at first, feel the water breathe,
Soon rising, rising, black towers
Into walls of water no one could scale,
Ripping across the top in violent zig-zags
White madness, the open mouth-
-and they came, they came in rows
As tall as nightmares, even hungrier than the wind
And they ate up everything they touched,
Swallowing lives, swallowing that which made them
Pulling our dwarfed armies into the deep, deep
Dark, black salt water
Until then, after the herald, and the birds didn't sing anymore
A tenth wave, which rose colossal over the rest,
Moving like a lost city,
Over the darkness, a shadow covering this world
Silenced what was left to be silenced
Little sailors
Little sailors
All sailor's songs end
And On the Land
Your little wives
Will catch your songs on the wind
Will pick up those songs on the winds
I don’t want to feel this way
As if you took all of the air out of my lungs when you left.
I fight through it everyday,
And you will never know how hard I wept.
You stole the only light I had
Leaving me in an world of silent nothingness.
I did everything you asked
Upon my worst enemy, I wouldn’t wish this loneliness.
I miss the way we’d laugh
And how we’d comfort each other when we would cry.
I miss the way we’d sing and dance
And the way you’d make me laugh without having to try.
But I hate your empty promises
And your cold, meaningless, and beautiful lies.
I was nothing but a distraction
But for me, you were the stars to my night sky.
For two years my love was yours
But now I know your heart was never mine.
For you, I’d crawl across the earth and more
And for you, I know I was just a way to waste your time.
I was never the object of your desires
Not even someone to whom you could tell the truth
You were a boy trying to build a man’s empire
Acting as if the world couldn’t see you were forever hooked on your youth.
You know, I guess I’m glad we’re not together
Just embarrassed that it took so long
You taught me through your mistakes that I deserve better
I don’t have many regrets but you were certainly something I did wrong.
Aimlessly, I wander in a melancholy lament.
Looking deep into my soul as the day is spent.
Flaming hues of mountain sunset start to flare.
Feeling the dark encroaching shadows of despair
Finally, twilight brings in a starry change.
As night’s life of love heals the lamented pain.
Lying in tall, cool grass, staring into the night sky.
I feel this incredible, gentle spiritual pull; I wonder why.
Now my soul is amazed as the stars surround me.
Only to feel the emptiness between stars is love's sea.
I close my eyes; my soul joins her in this gentle flight.
Opening my eyes with the morning rays of warm sunlight.
In moments together, we found our incredible happiness.
To know my spiritual love will always bless.
The essence of the majestic beast,
heading gracefully towards northeast.
Array of sounds,
howling in the presence of the wolf moon.
As Lock Ness keeps moving through the deep Lagoon.
Intense lightning strikes the backside of the mountain.
It keeps moving on with confidence,
knowing Lock Ness is not in distress,
going to an unknown place,
moving at its own pace.
With the dark water gleaming from the reflection of the night sky above,
Lock Ness will soon be out of plain sight.
It was amazing to see,
such a wonderful mighty creature.
For I just witnessed,
the legendary Loch Ness,
authenticity!
Earth woos Venus but she is resistant,
reflecting light of sol in the night sky,
mirrored by her lover who’s persistent,
that tango dancing, tremulous hearts sigh.
The girl next door is the beauteous moon,
who planet earth does date from time to time
for when in full bloom, she makes his heart swoon
but Venus alone awakens love’s chime.
Playing spoilsport, Mars spits venom and fire,
whilst jilted Saturn casts a dark shadow,
since for hand of Venus, they both aspire,
though it’s fated neither can be her beau.
Love letters carried on a comet’s tail,
declare those who’re pure of heart will not fail.
I have tried to quench my thirsty heart
By sitting and staring at the raging sea
By letting myself be engulfed by the depth of the night sky
By burying my attention in my duties
By focusing my concentration in books and movies
But, so far, nothing worked!
Yes, for that which quenches my thirsty heart
Is listening to the sound of yours beating
As I rest my head on your chest
While we lay, sprawled, worn out,
In our nest!
That which quenches my thirsty heart
Is seeing the warmth in your eyes
As you glance at me, always seeking to listen to me
To answer to my queries
However trivial these may be!
That which quenches my thirsty heart
Is the way you nibble my whole being,
Cajoling me, teasing me, awaking me
While making me see stars in broad daylight!
That which quenches my thirsty heart
Is the smile you give me, so prompt and sincere
When you appreciate the way I look, the way I dress,
The habits I have, the person that I am!
That which quenches my thirsty heart
Is the way you melt, and bury your face in my bosom
As you read the poems that emerges from my soul
All imprinted with your essence and your aura!
Pray, do keep on quenching my thirsty heart
Else, I would be suffering from the ills of a drought
And such can be disastrous!

SEVEN - STAR
Stars! Stars! Stars!
Billions of stars in millions of Galaxies.
to descry.
We live in starry world
revealing itself at night
by mirth
and hiding under daylight:
The light emitted by the STAR SUN
closest to Earth.
So many Constellations of stars at night sky
as viewed from Earth.
Amazing, wonderful Cosmic Exhibition!
Ursha Constellation of ‘Seven Stars’ to allure
me
with brightest pole Star – Polaris or Cynosure.
Me being a part of Starry Empire
got inspired by whelming word ‘STAR’,
I chose three syllables ‘Seven-Star’
to attach to my good name on attraction of fame.
Come to me: All are welcome.
Please have breakfast, sumptuous-delicious.
Appreciate and admire brunch or lunch!
Or dine fine on your choice to rejoice.

Before you kill me,
can you come to my home?
I will prepare a meal for you.
You can play with my children.
Together we can dance to music,
laugh at each other’s jokes.
I will tell you stories of my youth.
I would be pleased,
if you share your own stories.
Let us look at old photographs.
There we will witness the smiles of our ancestors.
Are we not the realization of their dreams?
After dinner,
we could sit together on my veranda.
My lovely wife can serve us dessert.
It would be her very best dessert,
after all you would be our honoured guest.
If by some magic we avoid other mens arguments,
we might end up as friends.
After-all does not the night sky belongs to both of us?
If we could give each other one lasting gift
I pray that it would be peace.
We were not born to be each other’s enemies.
Spending time with you
would show me
all the ways that we are the same.
Please before you kill me,
come join me for dinner.
Where in the night sky would I seek
to find the daughter of love,
while Phobos rounds Mars close cheek
tho' Deimos breaches slower above.
Never wanted to be less than whole
lost in a soldier's conquered dreams,
like fine wine alas asked to taste all,
love's sweet draught in moonbeams.
Never harbor a jealous heart
only serves to fulfill it's own needs..
to poison love's lasting waters,
and steal away bright moonbeams.
Laugh at all life's fortunes won
those red rosey skies full a sun..
yet all evenings lost it seems..
in moonbeams,
bright moonbeams,
oh, those
moonbeams.
Heavenly Himachal
Snow clad hills with sun's silver shine,
Whitened by moonlight like crest of waves,
Tree covered folds in the mountains,
Are like a gigantic crumpled velvet rug,
Soft and supple twigs hanging intertwined,
Turbulent rivers flow flawless through the heart,
Rains drizzle and seep deep into bones,
A gaze through a mist of fluffy clouds,
Smoky night sky and stars await twinkle,
Chilly breeze that preserves the smile,
God in every bit can be seen alive,
Alongside the serpentine path as you thrive,
Serenity to soul view from every angle grants,
Heavenly abode leaving never would you want,
Feel melody in heart and song in the air !
