A Perfect Day to Learn 

We took our late lunch in a wooden cabin at the foot of the mountain where exotic foods in sumptuous meal were served. I enjoyed immensely the fried fish and...

A Thousand Words

My dreams were of late as of months away
I am not to feel, neither am I to see its coming
Have I fallen asleep since those coming days?
Or perhaps to merely drift through were...

"The Magnus Effect"

A whole life in a deck of cards
dealt across the table
in front of the brutally dismissive,
the fortunes of the war worn read
translated glamorously from rock bed,
both with glee and dread, there sits
the Magnus,...

Lion Dancing To A New Year

It is that time of the year, you'll know it by the din reaching your ears...
Thunderous gong beats, clashing cymbals that's all you can hear...

It is a most riotous time...

Mona Lisa why?
Mona Lisa loves sunshine
Rather, speechlessly cries… Why!?

See her left side’s show?
A scared girl’s face through window?!
With her straight blond hair does stroll?

Looking at the sky!?
Where darkness swivels to shine!
Strangely with enormous fright!!

Weirdly, heaven’s...

A small pile of bone dry leaves lay
nestled, protected between two roots
It was a sorchingly hot sunny day
all the trees desperately needed rain

The land that had been without water
for so long was parched, all around
saplings...

How delightful is the softest sound of a clear and starry summer's night,
You may hear a moth bashing up against a cottage window pane near a lamp,
If you listen really hard you can hear him...

Majestic Bald Eagles

I pace myself on this dry winter day
alongside my four legged running buddy.
Been cooped up and restless within four walls 
watching the showers fiercely blown by the wind.
It’s been four long days now...

out the window a choking night-wind blows through the city.   
rancid and steamy.   
it wraps itself up my building and into my apartment,  
running over the floor,  
and bringing...

Deposited, held in Amazon's Adonis arms
    Hidden inhospitably stashed, kite shadow 
    Curled furtive, stairway stupefied windshield
    Hallucinations lag languished in amusement

The spotlight flashes funny flair 
on the showy sagged dress,
miniature crimson cold sun stuck 
on the puckered porcelain face.
An animated caricature captured
in comical frail human figure,
tramps round and round 
the circus arena to amuse.

along the toll path, worn by footfall, 
I walk as a water colourist
tracing the canal's hidden track, 

hewn blocks are daubed, 
washed by mildew green 
silver weals etched like faded liver spots
on its pock marked...

Along with cadent rhythms of the day,
night crawlers hum like bees around a hive.
Black shadows stretching longer, curve and blend,
to splinter into shards below the bend

Earth swivels axis arms to catch the sun, 
and reaches...

Mind of a Muse

My canvas swivels 
melodiously under my pen
Recording visions my
 muse recommends

Traveling to kingdoms 
hidden in creative thoughts
My openness has yearned for 
and persistently sought

Flying on an eagles wings 
  capturing nature's...

This All Could Be
AtTractions of the urban surfer,
ExHibits at the shored enclaves,
AbIde the faithful their sole journey,
BaSking rays of summer's retreat,

CoAstal clutter of crowds roll on,
CeLebrities of the day made true,
LuLled breaks in surf even...

Time bears signs to be indicating something sinister.
Hence, the world sustains, as usual, oblivious finisher. 
An epoch passed; cannot heave it from the dead. 
Clocks implore us to stop, but time spurns us instead.

We squander...

Wooden mouth eats word and threat. 
Frozen eye stares through vaudeville glaucoma.
The master is mimicked, masked, and mocked.

Doll tuxedo stretched from neck to crotch.
Head swivels to whiplash punchlines.
If it’s all in good fun, why do...

I heard the whispers of the Mantis,
as I prayed, "My lord, please grant us
a moment’s peace from cricket calls
which echo always through these halls."

Said the Mantis: 
Let's thank the maker for my head
which swivels round...

LIFE OF AVIAN DECEPTION

Serrated wings spread wide on wandering wind,
it glides smooth in sly trail of swerving sinister way 
in timid sky eyeing the vibrant landscape to find
through the focused hawkeye the unwary prey.

Slim ballerina...

When he goes right when you say left…
His grip, headstrong - he swivels the steering wheel.
When you drive him crazy with questions,
Wondering if the old man’s batty.
If you ask him what was he thinking,
He might...

Marvel at that prosperity.
Rejoice in it's majestic fabrication. 
Your mind never felt so good.
Forgotten methodical happenings.

Critters running; wildly picking at my brain. 
Reading my genetics and dancing with pandas.

Normal doesn't exist.

It is only what each...

Silent River Run

Research fun gear, on-line or stocked.
Preparation: mixing, matching, dots.

Please, try not to harm the catches we snare;
Eat less of animal flesh;
And, plant lives matter, too....

Date and location decided -- she may or may...

Callous ruler is he who beholds my wretchedness with a bliss
He swivels smoothly seeing me shrivel in scorch
See him laugh but boot not, his chair mounted on arris
I stretch my arm for his lift but...
