the mind nestles the buds of dreams it desires to see bloom.

A Collaborated Love
A butterfly you float in my garden at sunset,
Amber silents, daylight violets.
From behind the shroud of hesitant mind’s layers
Custom stares.
Through the surging gale flapping your wings’ flair
Love comes here,
Proclaiming the tenet that unveils the truth…

They Ask
1. They Ask (For 1984 riots)
Everyone asks;
how were you coupled with him?
Whose desertion
has dried up your eyes.
Finding solace in my gasps
You tell me-
How can I disclose
that the radiance of your blood,
before becoming my vermilion,
is gleaming...

Quiet Benediction

encased in February’s mummy-swathe.

My Painting
The landscapes I paint have a fence or two
Some with pegs stout and straight
Some with bars broken and bent
A fence between the grey gravelly pathway
And the flashy flowery garden swathe
Or between the rippling river...

Jewel Of Jinx - Depression Awareness
An alchemical raven's gray rhapsody awakens those cynical roses who
Breathe-in the ebony beams of blood-bathed sun, exhaling
Cacophonies that ricochet across these truthful horizons where,
Depressive roars embalm Lilith's lawns. Awash with smoked prairies and
Equinoctial...

and hold me ‘til I reach that promised land?

doesn’t come low with the mystique shadow,
makes my overcast mind morose.
My halcyon horizon waits
