Afternoon musing, not quite content,
Wondering where the time all went -
The time not really given, only lent.

The first day of fourth grade,
In the next desk a new girl stayed,
With honey colored hair all in a...

God is always the greatest- Sylvia Frances Chan wrote

And me-

God is the greatest
who said- Human or God!

if I say God is great
Yes, because of my belief
If any human, the believer says
Yes, because of belief

This is a broken emptiness
So surrounded in fixedness you can't get at it
All I've ever wanted, I'm that
But in disorder
Unoriginal amongst poets
My drama is bound, I won't let it out
All doors remain shut
I dare not...

Social uselessness is a virtue of its own,
Those we cast aside, glance at and then away from quickly,
Lest they notice, and smell our guilt,
Are free to live immodestly,
There being no need for posturing
When one's invisible.

In Pahalgam’s embrace, where solace bloom
Dawn’s tender hues now fade into gloom.
The innocent sleep, their laughter now stilled,
In cold, silent graves, their dreams unfulfilled.

A crown of bright jewel on our mother’s brow,
A snow-white dove, now...

I breathe, although I’m dead
I still have these images in my head,
Feeling nothing anymore… the pain is gone
But I know, I’m not the only one.

Emptiness fills my wretched soul
Darkness, that eats through my heart,
I’m no...

In this world
You are my naughty innocent beauty
You are like the butterfly on lily
You are like the angel
You are my sensual gel

I invited you to my last night cell
Your presence was like the morning bell
We...

In the cathedral of silence, beneath the vaults of stars and shadows,
A man opens his soul like an ancient parchment in the hands of a divine scribe.
His words are forgotten runes, whispers of a world...

This sitting takes me to an attic of raw light
bestowing foams of quiet glow for travelers 
unyielding to a precise compass
of direction, a spaceless space nourished as it
were, losing the self to Bodhi-like clouds
and nomadic...

The difference in saying you,
a great big unseen pointed finger, or we.
I didn’t know. Some figurines
wave while others scrutinize with wizened eyes.
The analytic panics, hairs raised by static.
The simple leans in to catch butterflies. One...

I might forget you for a little while

but when the last desert hues of sunset roses

wrap the bareness of these arms

Out of nowhere and without reason I think of you

Darkness falls and so my tears

My brown rough n sweaty hair tell dat I
M not at all girly
But don't judge me so early
My unthreated and joining eyebrows tell the
I have a great fortune
Which is coming in the may or June

Ebullient ecstasy cascades in the rolling valley of time,
changes tenor with the reflection of the chromatic sky 
on the parchment of delightful dawn and dulcet dusk. 
On the sensuous cerulean canvas the emotive artist 
paints...

On the floor of the future, she twirls, dancing through the boundless,
In contemporary moments, still unshaped,
She carves her path through the fullness of time,
Until it becomes one with her present.
An ethereal dance, spiraling into destiny,
Moments...

A raw quiet
stretches like a membrane
across the night.
Pulled tight it waits to amplify
the slightest sound.
Each passing minute dials up
the volume of a nerve
strung to snare
the powdery whispers of a moth
or the faint ticking wheezed
out of...

Dark night is closer, after your
Callings, callings from the half -seen trees.
Night owls are crying. A smile is 
Ominous dancing in the branches.

Of  slow time, night unfolds
Its  ranges of stories, night’s regular acts.

A HAIBUN Doublet
A HAIBUN DOUBLET
An empty space,filled by light brings simplicity to life,the empty heart,fills with pain,
cries out why,again,again,and still the emptiness remains;Simplicity forgotten
in complexity will drown,darkness overwhelms the mind,despair see nought,with eyes blind;light fills...

I used to be blind, how could I not see,
So many shapes around me, changing endlessly.
How beautiful the stars in the sky’s embrace,
The moon swaying gently on its swinging trace.

We don’t understand the speed as...

Unshaped by parental care,
He rose, a phoenix, beyond compare.
Life's struggles molded him with might,
Resolute, he faced each endless night.

Education's flame burned bright and true,
His passion, a beacon, shining through.
Menial jobs couldn't dim his stride,
Determination drove...

To meet my people; from the other part,
As a fine dream, always built its place,
A protected one. 
In my heart; sealed with irrevocable love.

This yearning was rising up,
Day and night. Giving its new essence!
Waiting for their...

"If you desire healing,
let yourself fall ill

POETRY PLEA

There was a time when every word and phrase
Each sentence stanza paragraph and verse
Was written, with a clearness to our gaze
When simply made, extravagant or terse
Crafted in empyrean structure did they seem
With lucidity and...

Words,verbs,adjectives,aimless,past times made present, amalgams of verse unshaped,until imagination's birth bursts from the spring of my maturity to awake,arise as ideas and fly free on imagination's unfettered wings ,blown to and fro to settle where...
