I had some extra time, and it happens I took the scenic...

As violet birds are content, to spend their nights in different trees.

Still I had a happy and quiet existence, or at least...

A midnight shriek or sudden bang
Disrupts the thread of tales,
Entangled in unconscious mind
With sounds of lashing flails.

Wherefrom it comes, whither it goes?
I threw my eyes up there,
The eerie void soon called me up
To trudge down...

As my old eyes search for the setting sun,
My mind is at work,
Mending the million fragmented memories.
The long arm of my mind,
Retrieves the first dusty diary,
from the tallest of shelves.
Now ninety years have passed,
My ...

I was an experienced astronomer, with bright eyes ever turned to the stars,
As the mysterious, intelligent aliens, might in their turn, be looking to ours.

Space had always held fascination for me, with wonders of worlds...

I was a fashionable horticulturist, for elegant flowers keep eternally in style,
Like the saffron sun, coming and going, always causing dark skies to smile.

Plants were a jade preoccupation, long before glad days of my rosy...

One cold night, deep in thought, and curled in fright,
From folklore tales aimed to scare;
My rigid poise froze to a screeching noise
Outside, a voice not like I've heard before, to leave I would not dare
“It’s...

"Life is a song," I find it intriguing,
how often the roads we journey upon 
allude to lyrics like variant moods of songs.
Some days I endeavor to sing, 
but the words come out all wrong.
Orchestral phrasing...

Everything around me is so dark,
only the frigid sky shows its hues...
as the cold robin flutters on the sill of my bright window,
to pick up the last breadcrumbs left  by the ragged widow;

I saw the bees 
Take nectar from the trees
Their pollen sacks
Matching the hue
Of a tree I planted
In the autumn dew
Now stands proudly aloft
Shading the pansies
Towering over the forget-me-nots
Then a turn of my head
There I was...

as I set forth exuberant and merrily on my way.
I pause to hearken to the symphony of sound
as natures harmony plays and swirls all around.
Ignited flaming thoughts to fill...

Saturday nights at Barney’s
Rowdy Cowboy Honky-Tonk,
Our band sang soulful love songs
That cried while our guitars wailed.
We oozed moods for fresh lovers,
And throbbing hearts on the mend,
Through those timeless tuneful nights
While Gus wiped his rosewood bar.

After...

Miracle 

It's a long way from Heaven
Such a long way to fall
And the ground is the place
Where things shuffle and crawl 

Where once there was safety
And the comfort of love
Now freedom , it seems
Takes a...

Climbers and bushes are like sentinels that guard our terrains,
Waterfalls and paths, cascade like snakes gliding on the mountains, 
Our indigenous mansion lounges like a penthouse on the hill,
Amidst echoing rocks, mumbling winds, which chime...

Drum of  Life

I heard the melodic sounds,
From a wide range along the desert of life.
I'm deafened by the wordily words
Muted by the strange sounds
Just like an earthquake
 It echoed down my heart,
It speaks nothing...

The wilderness is always beautiful,
whenever one stumbles upon it
and everywhere one looks, it's blissful
