it stuck in her beautiful mind like a beacon of flaming desire

of clouds fried by a cuckoo with an indestructible socket

A tragic  encounter that left me forlorn
I saw stumbling wrecks of what was strong
Bent over and lame not much time to prolong
They are seniors...

We are victims
Tied with  common fetters 
Loosed in thoughts of varied choices and desires
Loosely searching to make ends meet:
The meeting at this spot,
Either to go or stay, is a choice.

We are victims
Of the policies...

Imagine that 

You take me where imagination
knows no boundaries,
to vanilla sherbet snow capped mountains
and warm sugar cookie sandcastle beaches

Reaching for stars in our favorite constellation
and chasing the tide as it turns in for the night

Where his forebears dwell

From the Heaven’s imperial threshold
And through...

There's a Train
Going to Peace Station.
Christians, Buddhists,
Hindus, Atheists,
Each occupied a Compartment,
But never Bothered one another,
Just like the Two Rails of the Track

They traveled in Communities and

Of a crossing that was calm, and thankfully mellow
Lounging on deck my mind drifted free
As I journeyed across ‘The River Mersey’

Time's admirer hijacks sections
Rips strings of delicious from fattest flesh
Imbibes fibres provided sublimely 
Licks fingers with shameless relish

Rides intention piloted by passivity
Waterwheel which in turn feeds many 
Delivers ceaseless needed energy

He piloted from Paris to Deauville
And dreams treasured in casket

Returning and knocking the door bell

'They gifted me sorry'

Until I came upon a shore
A nymph shaking bottled bones
She sung of Aphrodite's lore

For hallowed war, for seductive stroke
I piloted a well gunned ride
They revered me for each enemy...
