Kaleidoscope

"Kaleidoscope" 

They say another
wrote the story, not I.
that I, mere I,
having little experience, shy 
and far removed from 
such an alien world,
would not possess the knowledge
of such terrible and ruthless, lusty 
characters of strong will;...

The Greedy Hypocrite and the Magic Plant Part-1

There was a clear river,
In the natural home,
And a wily man stood,
Among the woods.

He was seeing,
With a malicious eye,
Look’st at a certain place,
With a glitter on his face.

That place was much near,
To the river,
“Aye, I’ll...

Just Too Easy

Chance seeing that shooting star, death by brilliant light.
Interpreting dreams, from the day or the night.
Chasing rainbows, it’s treasure foretold.
Facing the mirror, lines drawn, time is so cruel, just getting old.
A wish from adolescence, so...

Sombre

I can see the dark hues through my window, 
it’s cloudy outside with no stars or fireflies. 
It’s been three years since the darkness has been protecting me
With its hollow emotions running through me day...

Am I Supposed To Be Grateful I Survived This?

Anger, dolent, satisfaction.

I dont understand the feelings
What is it? Where is it? How can I avoid it? 
No,
How can i get it?
Satisfaction. I want it
But the anger. The compressed emotions
People uttered 
Whynis it still going...

An Ant hurried away carrying a loaf of bread for winter
A stray dog digging the mud to hide left over piece of bone to eat later
A grandmother soaking under the sun anticipating her final...

A Lost Pearl

I carried my little precious pearl tightly in my hand. I never ever wanted to let it go. I knew that one day I would use it for something grand, perhaps an exquisite necklace or...

Aknu

From the flood we emerged,
formed from the shiniest pearls
of the deepest oysters...
In the ancient void, when the world
was only sea and earth,
without any inkling of civilization
yet to be in place,
oysters existed beneath the waves, 
which...

My Treasure

You are the true definition of the word beauty
Shinier than a diamond, more precious than a ruby
Everytime I think of you my knees get weak
I want to call you cotton candy because you are so...

Flower of the Forsaken Love

A flower emerges amidst the pebbles
Eyes behold, its beauty; its fragrance stronger than all else
Its surface shinier than anything I’ve seen before
It dances in the wind, standing where it dwells

One unfortunate day, she caught my...

Broken

Broken minds delighted to see what will become
Broken hearts excited to finally see the sun
The necklace of recollection hangs on every soul
Freezing all our attempts to let our spirits flow

Broken signs that point to the...

Shadows of the Past

A child in time
Innocence was not youth, innocence was the times
We all sat at the dinner table
Discussions were lively, as adult’s sipped wine

That old Volkswagen, a trunk of memories
Now sitting in the graveyard of old...

Good Old Days: As Life Unfurls

I remember the good old days of what now seems so long ago
The year was twenty nineteen. What parties we used to throw
Family and friends gathered for weddings and festive holidays
Smiles were seen before flashes...

Numbers Flashed

What would I give up for you?
My morning coffee
The newspaper I rarely have time to read
Maybe a few evenings at the opera
Or perhaps that newer shinier car

I see your image
Flash accross my screen
tiny emancipated body
Fragile
Sad
Glassy...

You Had a Bird In Hand

You had a bird in hand


your boat was right there at your pier
with your name on it
all the accouterments were at your fingertips
there was nothing  to do but jump aboard
it was that easy

The Wisdom of the Seed

I find it quite strange
how so many people
desire drastic change:
Change would be so simple!
Change would be terrific!
Yet when I ask them,
what kind of change,
they leave out specifics

saying,

"Change is what we need
and change is for the...

Pretty Paradox

We are two flames,
Colliding and clashing,
Eroding our names,
Each other, slashing. 

Merging miraculously,
In some eternal timeline,
Vowing velvety love variously,
Flowing and floating as fine as wine. 

My hand longs your hand,
Our hands meet and then
We turn into...

Pasquinade

Sweet is equally sweet to all mortal tongues, 
Choice morsels sate all men's starved pangs; 
Brilliant sights of plenty charm every eye right, 
And friends against foes for shinier spoils fight.

Why then do many in...

Across the Seas

across the seas


the Pacific Ocean was like an undulating mirror 
that day the ship was on its way to Nagasaki
which for the young crew onboard meant nothing
it is incredible how quickly a war is forgotten.

The Wettest Spring I Have Ever Seen

There were slimy spotted frogs jumping out of the oaks, 
Slickest yellow raincoats worn by the bravest of folks.
And giraffes trying to hide in the daisy flowers.
While we were saturated with April showers.

There were earthworms...

Syllogistics

Comparisons are unerring things at worst; 
Every common ore yielded for shinier gold, 
And tepid junkets given up in apt forfeiture
For tolerably pricier carats unsullied stored. 

Far less treasured lots perpetually stand
In shrouded paths to...

Conquest

...And then they speak of un-translatable conquests,
Though my face looks so much like your face
And our voices can get caught and surprised in mutual, glancing harmony
Over and over and then something else always occurs.

That altering...
