dreams lie in wait
for every rising degree of fervour
Scattered
sunshine ceases to blind compelling faith
Smiles prosper like figs
And the unremitting truth is

Dead trees hang over broken walls

But on two occasions, I happened
To be late—to my lectures.

Amongst white pillars,
Gardens with fountains and

On the Other Sidean asylum of hope
where liberation reigns
yet solitude operates
flashing bright lights dictate
serenity caresses designing the scenario with assorted templates
footprints of echoing shadows flicker
the rushing wind swerves, magnifies and flutters
imaginations surge, growing wild and deeper
reality spins turning...
