Premium Member Bustling City

In the glare of SYNTHETIC neon lights, 
The metropolitan city is awake even at night. 
Distracting noises EMENATE from all corners,
Peace is not found in the bustling crowd.

Vehicles pass screeching their horns 
Life is never still in this SWIRLING city
Sirens wail, humans brush past, all strangers.
One can get easily lost in the maze of streets.

Everything's artificial and nothing is natural.
People chase ILLUSION and move about in panic,
They stray to satisfy their desires in TIMELESS span
But are left dissatisfied and disillusioned.

In their hearts BLOSSOM a thousand dreams.
But like roses that wither away in the wind,
Dreams and aspirations crumble as sand castles.
With a jolt, they realize that they were after mirages.

How they long for the RUSTIC calm and peace,
Where people have time to care about their fellow men,
Where life moves at a relaxed pace with less competition,
And one can listen to the sonatas of birds in SILENCE.


Now That

Now that we know struggle 
    can exist in commemoration meetings
        museums, battlegrounds or rivers
           now that we know soldiers too can
             be bourgeoisie making business 
              workers can govern or dance to be
                   Love can be free

Vagabonds can write poetry 
    advocates count syllables astutely 
       architects forgetting about wheelchairs 
          now that presidents fail farmers fickle 
              with colonels wanting to sing sonatas
                now that heroes hymn in the heavens 
                  we know Soul has no gender or class
      
Now that we know hunger is only a lesson
   and rage a rampant note going past 
       now that we know eyes are but mirrors 
              through Dark Ages with democracy
                imprinted on genes
                   now we can touch exuding Light

So let’s smell a good stew
       dwelling with arum lilies new
            let’s listen to frogs croaking 
                squeeze a warm hand poking
                     now that Consciousness opens up

Premium Member moon-lily memories

when skies bleed 
your sonnets~
every drop of 
           garnet rain 
              rhymes
with ethereal initials 
of your s u n f l o w e r
                sonatas

I remember when
our eyes reflected
like celestial f i r e f l i e s
watching beach
              bonfires 
                kiss 
                the rouge
              sherbet  clouds
     drifting  through hues of 
            lavender linings
knitting a tapestry of
   tinker bell dreams

I long to return
and turn back t i m e
to marigold monsoons
painting 
     horizons
with 
   star-kissed 
           s u n s e t s
in scarlet sage feathers
whilst pixie-fairies 
swirl with us 
singing amidst
childhood fears
braving through
    weeping
waves of w o e s
crashing upon 
hidden traces
in hourglass p e a r l s
of fleeting 
                t i m e
          soaked in seas
          of sizzling s t a r s
as our tiny fingers 
craft crystalline castles 
with regal conch shells
     found along 
moon lily s h o r e l i n e s
where tansy vines twinkle
   like twilight tears
  reflecting runes of 
    rosemary ribbons 
scattered across
      raisin black spheres 

I wonder now 
 do rivers in heaven
 flow with
    aurora calligraphies
carrying your 
  lyrical l a u g h t e r 
For I can feel your
 poetic glitter on my
toffee-hued skin
as I scribble our 
 secrets in rose gold i n k
with red diamond l e t t e r s
on slipping pages
                 of perfumed life 

Maybe I should 
            r e s t my quill
         let thoughts 
                    walk through
            holographic hallways 
                 of yesterdays 
                    within my 
                 nocturnal mind 
allow nature to guide me 
   back to the turquoise 
          arms of tranquility 

t i m e can heal 
   mourning hearts 
 connected through 
mellifluous m e m o r i e s

when storms slow dance
 to the 
     symphony of g r i e f
let wind take away 
                           p a i n
and illuminate wilted flowers
to thrive as souvenirs
 amidst 
           the forest of n o s t a l g i a

Premium Member On the Crest of a Wave

Sometimes,
sailing in ebony blades
of saturnine seas 
brings forth a forsaken froth
of scarred reveries, 
when musk-ochre 
tints of sunshine cease 
to slice through solemn 
scarlet skies and 
cruelly-coloured black-pearls 
shimmer as an obsidian beacon 
of forest-green intentions, 
caging pantoums of peace 
in glass-jars of 
bleeding sandalwood-scented
butterflies, entrapped in
sapphire patterns. 

My spirit is often ablaze
as a crematory where
opal-gold truths are buried
eight feet under the raven crusts, 
and I rise as feathery-flames
in hot-bronze furnaces
of diamond-dragon's 
chauvinistic cave, 
so that heart's papier- mâché
cells never sacrifice their
rosemary plasma to 
eagle-edged egoes and
noiseless yet suffocating
sonatas of narcissistic
nestled woodpeckers. 

I believe, life is wistful 
like wilderness of a white-wolf, 
growling besides midnight's 
brim and howling to the 
carmine moon, wrapping 
peach-sunsets of serenity
in fluid-time, unfolding
scattered shades of
sonorously rustling foliages, 
shimmering in breezes of 
crumbling claret twigs and
satin seedlings whining 
to the list of traitors, 
for their unborn lavender buds. 

So, swear not under the afterglows 
of august skies and 
let me float on the 
crest of azure waves, in my
snowflake-capsule, being
immortally evanescent, 
As every promise is like 
a betraying magenta melody 
of crepuscular youth, fading
in forged futuristic pastels.

Dancing In Stardust Ahead of the Dawn

Draped in the luster
of glistened endeavors
Evergreen silhouettes
cast on the lawn
Tracing our twilight
enchanted encounters
Dancing in stardust
ahead of the dawn

Firefly wishes
on grapevine horizons
Spider web tapestries
spun through the trees
Pine cone sonatas
the key of our heartbeat
You in my arms
as the night wanders free

Halos on moonbeams,
the heavens a’ glimmer
Beauty euphoric
abloom in your eyes
Lips warm and tender,
a kiss in the darkness
Love unrehearsed
under crystalline skies

Whispers symphonic
'pon breezes a’ flowing
Softly their music
sings sweetly above
Drenching impassioned
melodic embraces
Here neath this canopy,
bathed in our love

The Enchanted Forest

Glass illusions forestry of butterflies in flight 
swiveling and turning wing, aiming for sun 
hovering over lulling waters of purple hues  
Breathing like flowers, frilling up the air 
inside a cornucopia world of rich and bright 

Birds are calling from afar symmetrical chirps 
of grandeur, across the wide expanse 
nocturnal illumination of the heart and soul 
Varathane music sonatas, flute escapades  
within a dormant brook, nature's usurp 

Fairies, trellises, and magic twigs interlinked 
inside the Foloi forest, the mighty oak respires 
aside centaurs and dryads, of their time
an emerald green, bottled by nature herself 
all is transformed here, even the sky is pinked  

Altered, Remodeled, Reworked, Transformed, 
by my sweet, poetic imagination...

Premium Member What Fascinates Me

 More than anything Nature fascinates me
Men living in close proximity to nature, I love to see
So I ramble into the city’s far outskirts
Watching ordinary people in commonplace pursuits
Imbibing much from the life of the peasantry
Whom none can beat in life’s lessons elementary
How they interact devoid of all cold formality
And remain free from all artificiality


I inhale the fragrance of the wayside blooms
Watch kingfishers and parakeets in colorful plumes
My eyes never miss Nature’s minute caprices
And I rejoice in home bound birds’ sonatas
I watch the daylight paving way for the night
And the sun willfully surrendering his might
I listen to the invisible choir, singing in the dark
That breaks the sacred silence of the dusk


How these common scenes fill me with delight
Nevertheless making me sorry for the unhappy plight
Of those unable to enjoy any ordinary scene
And turn their backs to pleasurable sights umpteen


Blessed are those who have eyes to see and feel
And remain happy being close to Nature’s heel
Whose ears are attuned to the beats of the average
And who need no other intoxicating beverage
Those who get a kick out of the commonplace
And seek everyday banal sensations to embrace

Premium Member Under the sky that dissolves dogmas like the wind does sand

Under the sky that dissolves dogmas like the wind does sand,
A canopy of empathy unfolds like an ancient tapestry,
Embroidered with clarity and illuminated by pure integrity,
Entangled in the fine threads of unknown transcendence.
I listen as celestial conversations sing in honey and cinnamon,
Flowing through the veins of silence like a river of perfect rhymes,
While butterflies, with shimmering silver wings,
Kiss the hibiscus dawn, a prophecy born from glass dreams.
My heart, aflame with diamond fires, reflects pages of rest,
Mirroring the soul's gratitude, painted in shades of patience,
Rising from willows of wisdom, like fortified fields,
That crown the peaks of mountains gazing at the constellations of destiny.
The golden gate, adorned with serene sepals, opens silent sonatas,
Erasing refrains written in loops, imitating recited ancient scriptures,
For once I was a marionette bound by time and fears,
The fear of liberation kept me captive in cracked calligraphies.
Now I journey through rose dunes, breathing divine light,
Eager to strip the verses of love from hypnotic illusion,
Untangling the luminous webs of the inner eye,
Realigning metaphors and eliminating the shadows of ego.
O, sapphire rings of seraphic stars, I surrender to the neon mist,
As my spirit rises toward clouds that whisper magic,
The alchemical rain of dreams falls upon me like a blessing,
Purifying the essence and synchronizing with the echoes of stillness.
Touch me with delicate truth and feel the pulse of pink lilies,
The warmth of cosmic healing, tied to conscious manifestations,
Where vibrant valleys bloom in kindness and forgiveness,
Dwelling in the timeless fragrance of the soul's rebirth.
Musk of metamorphosis and oud of revival, steeped in clarity,
My heart weaves the transcendent twilight yearning for all that breathes,
Through illuminated chakras, uniting merciful rivers with zephyrs,
Until the sky sees the Universe living in the tips of my fingers.

The Lilt of Lilac Melodies

Wan is the hiemal world outdoors, 
The biting breeze blows bitter,  
like a blizzard building in momentum, 
Cold creeps in through the closed windows,
But his harmonic heart is happy and warm, 
touched by tantalizing tingles of tender tunes. 

~ silent violins play violet symphonies ~

The mystery of mauve melodies mesmerise his mind, 
as he is lost within his mellifluous macrocosm;
Intoxicated with invigorating inspirations, 
he experiences euphonious euphoria, 
Forgetting the frost and frozen fingertips, 
he hums sweet sonatas in the making. 

~ soothing arias arouse amethyst emotions ~

A string of soft heliotrope strains 
brush away the brumal brutality, 
And even as the notes swell, they quell the chill, 
The warbling waves wind up in a waltz, 
resonating sizzling rhythms all around the room;
Content with cantatas serenading magenta Maestoso. 

~ lilac lyrics light up lavender legacies ~

Happy Endings

Happy Endings 


A long day in the office is just a prelude
to the kaleidoscopic formations
gathered beneath store front close out sales
and pigeon feathers as I head for the station,
the five o’clock hopefully on time

Strolling down the naked street,
I follow brick facades and paint chipped doorways,
listening to music from open windows above,
static to the sleeping trios
with silenced violins in cases of quarters

Whiskey bottle wind chimes
tinkle on the curb in high pitched sonatas
floating on waters from washed dogs and cars,
denting front lawns in tread mark stupidity
as the city pulls out the stops

Sirens join in the festivities,
out of tune with hopes for happiness, 
but running red lights just the same
as envious teenagers fall from death metal
logo’d skateboards, tearing already torn jeans

And as I wonder why no one smiles anymore,
a yellow cab stops, the back window rolls down
“Need a lift buddy?” and before I can answer
I see her as she pats the seat next to her
and motions me in

As the car pulls away I ask, “Where we headed?”
“To the sunset, I hear it’s beautiful this time of day”
she giggles then leans over and kisses me
“How was your day handsome?” she asks like a song
“Perfect now, I just love happy endings”
