Long Quicksands Poems

What sustains life are sacred values,
so what cannot sustain becomes pathological.

Matriarchy is about nurturing and care-giving,
protecting life and conserving cooperative energies;
yet that implies that patriarchy devolves to controlling
and competitive care-receiving,
destroying life as WinLose necessary
to violently...

Time wasted as fast as 
cigarettes burning
As a fan of this form of art,

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.

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...

her face was more glistering than the night stars

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...

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
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

with the promise of love and...

There is so little space I could give in my skies, 
Every moon has left a whole cluster of clouds full of lies, 
I cannot unclog a product polluted in disguise, 
Don’t ask me to...

I ask what is real that the eye may gleam…

As dimensions deliberate a deceitful realm…

I walk through forests of faceless feeble time,

What lies between, below, above the objects olden clear 
Structures must be more than surface tension...

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.

And my time halved without...

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 
On...

quicksands bleak inside
breathless danger spreads arms wide…
choked desires subside

frail footsteps falter
life’s flow hindered by halter…
fortune doesn’t alter

with debris of dreams they drop…
shattered hopes lose prop

inner light flashes
in desolate dark pathway…
new journey begins
