Husband and Wife: Literary Life
Your Rain was tears on my window pane -
the first poem of yours I had seen -
pain-drops spattered a snow-blank expanse,
grief-blue with regret and what should have been.
I thought mediocre. Bad omen for you.

Oh Please, Not To Fade So Fast Into the Afternoon

Oh please, not to fade so fast into the afternoon

The one that is shattering at a purply time of faintness
And the one whose wind is playing...

The Bookcase
A room without a view, unkempt for many a long year
Dusty aging book slanting within a bookcase
Closet doors creaked, the wide boarded floors moaned as I walk
Adjacent to the bookcase is a stone fire place...

DORMANT DREAMS, INTENSE - THEIR YEARNINGS
The night has erupted
in a thunderous bedlam.
As it comes crashing,
an unrelenting downpour,
volcanic its intensity,
lashing out its love—or
Is it lovelorn fury—
in sheets of slanting rain
It’s a...

A Face Like Thunder POTD
I was a planetary climatologist, who studied climate variability and change,
Like sweet variability of stunning, green tulips, in lavish garden rearranged.

leading to the river of her childhood,

The Red Leaf
the raspy whisper

..for its persistence reminds me of you..

Seduce Me In Black and White - Erotic Verse
Seduce me in Black and White
You reach toward my face
and touch my lips
Tracing the slightly raised pink curve of them

Surrealistic sensations immortalize
as our lips...
