Life In Eternity
LIFE IN ETERNITY*
1.
The cheerful trumpet of miraculous life, imperatively sounded in
My mother’s life-giving womb,
Heralding with its melodic tune another animation: MINE!
And as my innocent infantile heart was provoked by
The challenging divine call,
Started beating...

An Existential Curiosity
~0~
Ambitious existent presence to yield,
Hostage that's well endured of a pre-life,
Handcuffed fallible praying to be healed,
Labyrinth attributes drudgery strife.
Redeeming shrilling lob gratis to air,
Longings bounded dreamt outpours...

CHOREOGRAPHY of LIFE and DEATH
(Four times I have crossed swords with death up to now!)
The cheerful trumpet of
Miraculous life,
Imperatively sounded in
My mother’s life-giving womb,
Heralding with its melodic tune

Bazaar
BAZAAR
Can you call it a bazaar
Where only one vendor
Her face strained
'Looks' pale, apprehensive
As if caught in a snakes' chamber
Yet searching for a potential customer
Desperate to sell products unheard of
Of human species, bizarre more bizarre
The seller...

A Picnic With Pablo Neruda
Four legs quiver
like clumsy cabrioles
striking smooth gray rivers
of zig-zag sidewalk barrios
in rhythm with happy shivers
syncopated on a muffled drum
as we talk and stroll
On our way
hand-in-hand
we persuade and pretend
this day away
taunting and cajoling to demand
laughing “hide...

Some guys many skills have mastered,
I blush when I try to tell little lies
and shaking I reveal my fakeness;
quite a few girls have slapped me hard.
Cindy went on vacation heading South,
she warned me priming...

Humanity's Curse
1.
Yesterday night,
To the shrilling winds of history I listened to,
Telling me tales from centuries past,
Horrifying stories of hate, suffering, and
Distraction
Of killings unending
Of tortures untold
Of pain unimaginable
Of rivers of blood
Of...

Summer Daze
Lazily musing on the bank of a gently flowing stream,
I mulled upon life: was it reality or naught but a dream?
Then at the moment I pondered, what and why?
I heard a musical...

The Lonesome Flute Player
Sitting by a moss-covered tree illuminated by sunlight at three,
he plays the very song that his anscestors played yesterday;
remembering what the peaceful and wild land was and will be...
by accepting the fact that his tomorrow...

Pierce the Fear
Fear grabs hold of me
Keeping me grounded in place
Like an anchor to a ship
As its dark claws take hold
Clutched tightly around my neck.
My breathing shortening with each breath
Fear begins to squeeze the life out of...

One Bloody Cicada
After years and years of pounding city streets,
I turned my back away for one of those bush retreats,
where gum, ti-tree and wattle; lovely natives of Australia,
marched me into battle - with 'one bloody Cicada.'

The Power of One

Slowly shadows devour the day’s light,
The silhouette of fear draws breath
From the soul left gasping,
A firestorm of fury gathering,
Like mists of plagues escaping
From an ancient land of sand and tombs
With locusts...

Fear
Whilst I remain hopeful and confident
There are doubts in my veins
Eating up my blood and causing pains
With absolutely no room to frail
I always formulate and jubilate but to no avail
Because this fear marinate my genes...
