Long Traceless Poems

"The Phenomenal Transient World"



I had a thought
it came 
from Me

that internal Me
the Me, that Is,
I Am 

It traversed a 
world outwards
from inside

like the rings
recorded in the 
trunk of a tree

like the rings 
of water rippling

Lament of a Traveler

So far ahead the shattered break
With drifting light through limbs that ache
So far behind left to hesitate
On raven wings broke the key of dreams

And so many footprints spent traceless
Along sundown’s passage
As they...

Listen Africa,oh my motherland
May epitome of beauty,my extollation
You listen;inhabitants of my nobleland
How did we reach this destination?

On a podium I stand
A place weary,scary;no one dares!
A plea I forward;
Hear my brothers' silent ululation
To his heart keeps...

Held fast beneath a Tyrant's hand
Who lied in Corporate "Double Speak"
With blooded swords and lightening bolts
In languages forgotten
Long before the thunder died
And mushroom clouds filled up the sky.

grab your pail, we'll clean the sea
fetch a comb to coiff the sand
don't fall for burning cities, to be

as a pinnacle of table salt
pinch me, porfa!
looking up/down—that's insurance
perilous looking back
psychics looking forward
pronouncing words
over tomorrow's world

Banal secrets…


Just another night.
He leaves 
a bagful of snacks, 
cans of emptiness
scattered on the lumpy couch, 
in front of the tube 
now broadcasting 
a series 
on those who are yet to return, 
the traceless ones

Please...do not look away…
I am more than what you see… 
I have no claims or expectations.
I am more than innocence fleeing.. 
more than flesh and blood, but soul as well.

I am free of selfish wants,...

With quite some ups and downs, twists and turns,
so illusionarily the mundane affairs fare,
racking everything up so far into thin air.
Traceless the same is my beloved, 
like a draught slipping through the door shoved,
only a...

The scent of night perfumes my pillow here tonight 
alongside jasmine dreams that will never go away 
A traceless dusk awaits me by tomorrow's infant light
as I dream beneath the umbra of a lost forgotten...

An abstract dull spirit, amorphous and loose,
Cloudy and irate, possessing the even  soul,
Haunts the frail  mind and body on the whole
Of the one who fervently chases a wild goose 
Firmly believing the strange...

I wish I could remember the first day.
First hour,first moment of your meeting.
If bright or dim the season.
It might be summer or winter for aught I
can see.
So unrecorded did it slip away.
So blind was I...
