so what cannot sustain becomes pathological.
Matriarchy is about nurturing and care-giving,
protecting life and conserving cooperative energies;

and competitive care-receiving,
destroying life as WinLose necessary
to violently...

It started with a blank canvas
Each time soul’s reborn, it begins anew,
with memory of its past life wiped clean,
feeling vividly each hue as though new,
truth of existence attempting to glean.
Love’s the only rule in this earth life school,
so on blank...

Light and Darkness
Within its purest form impotent are the Earthly eyes
Amidst attempts to behold the wonder of its core
Reverse osmosis, listen, hear the light converse
It reveals all its truths to one's heart, first
In faithfulness then, twined paradox...

If I Could Touch the Helm of Her Garment
My darling sat so sweetly like a contented woman
her crown was knitted with topaz and pure glistering gold
her succulent soft skin brought mad thoughts to his knees
her face was more glistering than the night stars

Breaking Point
As if till now numbed-my mind,
Suddenly i woke from the dream,
Once again to remorse find
How I got here, I do not know
But here somehow, at the breaking point.
Avoiding the quicksands that pull...

Death Dance
Each day we wake up with grace
We know not how the day will end
We walk by death time and time again
Unaware of our feet in quick sand
Some of us slowly sink in
Unaware we don’t...

Bear Hunting
The hunter knelt to check the muddy ground.
He was perplexed. The tracks were heading north.
No bears had caves on this slope of the hill.
The quicksands were not very dangerous
but deep enough to block the wild...

The Phoenix Has Died
The phoenix has died
I can see that now
I can see it in your eyes.
Those bright blue, youthful eyes
once so hopeful, now restless...unfocused.
Once you were a phoenix
on the precipice of flight
with the promise of love and...

Crippled Me

I’ve continually been a verb and no noun
Refuse to help said lotus blooms in mud
But they scrunched me only in the bud
Fell down when stand apart from the...

Nocturnal-Scapes of the Negligent Night
For I awake within a dichotomous dream,
I ask what is real that the eye may gleam…
Realities regulate as the heads at the helm,
As dimensions deliberate a deceitful realm…
I walk through forests of faceless feeble time,
Nurturing...

Red Inside the Red
There are, there is, there once was, red inside the red
A doubt arose regarding that which is behind the walls
What lies between, below, above the objects olden clear
Structures must be more than surface tension...

Too Careful
Operating from our corridors in this oasis
We sit or stand concerned about passers by
To wave farewell or badmouth
To smile clearly or grumpy
In this globe full of confused folks
With catastrophes hinged on sentimental posts
Bigotry borne of...

THE RACE
Tomorrow’s fresh hope with the sun
Says life will be better than yesterday
And the race can still be won:
The piper will still await his pay.
Yet tomorrow my days will be shorter
And my time halved without...

Life On Rainbow Arc
Despair depressed in quicksands of time, hollow inside
Dented dreams collapse insipid, capsize and subside
Failure makes the razed life dark.
Latent beacon flashes on the desolate inner pathway
The light beckons through the drooping haze of dismay

The pathless path
Groping in the darkness of mind, our presence
sinks in murky quicksands of desire, spawned by
ego, finding no peace in inanities …
deaf to soul’s whispers.
Simply shifting from head to heart, we halt...

Sapphic stanza
transformation
quicksands bleak inside
breathless danger spreads arms wide…
choked desires subside
frail footsteps falter
life’s flow hindered by halter…
fortune doesn’t alter
time sands never stop
with debris of dreams they drop…
shattered hopes lose prop
inner light flashes
in desolate dark pathway…
new journey begins
walk...
