Secret Love, Two Searching Eyes
*Secret love, two searching eyes*
I
The early morning's languorous mild sun
Seemed jaded from a nightlong tiring jog,
And liked dawn's dew-mixed mirth nor glee of smog,
Nor some stray passing clouds' hide-and-seek fun,
Nor yet was...

Goodbye My Summer Love
Though the midnight summer rains
as we sit together under the geraniums,
hanging low and at full bloom,
we hold hands and talk of old times;
times that were kind to us and our youth.
As summer storms light up...

The Dawn When Dawns
Stars twinkling steadily
The night must have passed peacefully,
Keen, hoping to meet her ally…
Bright silver of the waxing moon
In nightlong warm darkness of June,
Must have hurried up to reach soon…
So smoothly as swims an otter,
A swan...

White Moon
Have you seen the morning moon?
She is not the cold hung rock
that swings upon the noose of night
that one is a dead face
submerged in a sea of darkness.
No, that is not her,
she is a lovely...

Darkness Steals
My heart quite deep within me quakes
when darkness steals the sky.
The night rolls out its raven cape
and stars from shadow, fly.
Gray threadlike clouds adorn the deep
and look down as to spy.
The silence of each long,...

Mixing Flavors of Soup
Slow- fire gleams upon a nearby field
as I gather herbs from twig-like strips
adding creamy broth to stir the brew
under a moonlight of summer’s heat …
The mellow breeze warms my...

Of Tears
Of ocean waves
their moon-powered course set rolling.
A wide river's flow
shouldering earth's water
and fertile soils toward broad deltas.
Nightlong thunderstorms
saturating all kindred life to the roots.
The wild, unbridled wind,
that frames and shapes the land.
Witnessing all these abiding...

The Park Fountain
I have walked about as far
as I can go before a weariness
threatens to withdraw the pleasure
of the evening light and the easy
mood of the park. The fountain
that had spurted and splashed...

Every Time
Every time I see
You my heart skips a beat.
Every time I think of you I get
Butterflies.
Every time I look into your
Eyes I fall in love with
You.
When I see you
I feel like...

The Sun Seems To Say
The rising sun seems to tell me:
What you saw so far was a dream,
Ended has now the night nigh grim,
Do thou red band of spectrum see,
The nightlong dream was just your past,
Go with the spell...

At Night When I Am With Me
The time descends when night to be,
In close touch, communion with me,
It holds mirror to me to see,
To look into the day so spent,
To scan the truth of each moment,
It’s time to seek adverse...

Where God Sleeps
Yellow sand bequeathed
by shadow of river,
washing its morning face with
moments of Advent water.
Grizzly air sucking up
freedom of river’s face.
Lying dead
an age-old peepul tree
fulfilled its lifelong wish
to die on the river’s lap.
Quick silvery fish exhibits...

The dawn when dawns
Drowsy dreams when wake up with life,
Dawn breaks to light from nightlong dark,
Birds sing when to welcome first spark,
Skies turn when from grey to red-rife,
On trees when I see tender leaves,
New...

The Closed Door As Calls
Just as my sleep is going deep,
The nightlong foe, my closed door calls.
Derailing my dream state of sleep,
Upsetting it, the closed door calls.
Like cicadas’ continuous clip,
I wonder why my closed door...

Sunset- That Wayside Nook, and the Dying Sun
That wayside beatific nook,
With a crimson seraphic look;
Silhouetted against a dying sun,
Like dying embers of a satiny run;
Every twig lunging an officious bow,
For a kiss of the pasture lain below;
Hark, the trill of the...

Breath
The last whispery remains
of a dream fray into forgetfulness.
I get up and go downstairs
to quietly sit in a chair
beside the window and stare
into the outside dark. A few stars
hang suspended
in the silhouette...

Haikus on humour - I
Where is mystery
On how Moses makes his tea?
We know, Hebrews it.
It won’t surprise me
If a cartoonist’s found dead
And clues are sketchy.
I catch it the least
That gossamer lovely beast,
Love still if I mist.
My blood report...
