Long Viridescent Poems

One day, little Red Riding Hood’s mother told her to deliver a basket of food to her elder grandmother. 
She told Red not to talk to any strangers and to stay on the path to...

Painting You

Before painting, I first sketch you
In my mind’s eye…To compose
The lines, shapes, shadows and lights, 
That work altogether to form a semblant sight
Of you for any relative, friend or acquaintance…

Next, I embrace the required...

Ember nights in front of the fireplace have said their farewell to the dark

Spring comes into the gardener’s step and the rusty lawn mower smiles

Another season of field days ‘I hope he has changed the...

Dissolving eternally echoes of love
Emerald reflections of deep green
Within streaming realities of time
Woes wounded within hungry darkness

Souls tangled upon inner destruction
Seas brewing blood in lost loves
Desires burning amidst sins of lust
Flaming hearts within green abyss

Tell her that she made you feel.
Because you don't feel.
Tell her what you see. 
Because she doesn't see. 

Tell her that you liked her hair, ashen rubellite and amethyst, curling at the tips like a...

Summer resplendent sun glowing
in the photosynthesis of viridescent grass.
Waving blades like long fingers flowing,
the sudden sighing gusts come and pass.

The field lives palpable in the anamnesis.
I step through the Queen Anne’s lace,
I lay down on...

Near a distant sun
Under an uncontaminated crystalline sky
Exists a world without me

Where the viridescent grass ages unchallenged 
Wears wizened beards
And bows only to the wind

Where the waters crash when you thirst to surf
Smooths when you...

As the bitter, piercing cold flees north, as the opaquely white snow makes an elaborate stratagem, a tortuous plan to revitalize next year, the viridescent grass begins to flourish and prosper, bringing an end to...

Literally, it's pain of feelings to one's circle.
But for the one , it's deeper than the depth of the Earth.
The one started admiring at couples now
With craved heart, why can't it be them
Sometimes, the one...

i'm a scarecrow in a viridescent field
i observe ideas, yet can't exploit them to yield
unable to move, allocating inattention
i'm filled with concepts and hypothetical intentions
i watch as the dead grass falls from my arms
wildfires don't...

I remember fitfully,

Those verdant fields their
Yellow brushed cotton tips,
Gyrating, swirled to beauty,
sighing, undulating minute blades

infintesable allure wafted
on those white wattle nights,
even drained of sustenance
it still motioned to flower

as I am drawn to nigh.

Jaundiced paddocks replace
the...

I looked out my back yard window today.
whilst taking my small white pill,
  a little green man came walking my way

His dreadful face was missing some features—
the nose, a neck, an ear,  no...

Daylight-Kissed skin and tempered glassy waves, Sun and Moon quarreling as twins, school kids bouncing out of their homework-ridden graves. Viridescent balmy plants, stirring through Natures breath, rain dances making God molt tears to near...

Beauty and Fragrance is what thou bring
Sakura blossoms covering the trees
Falling on me with the soft breeze

Wearing a kimono under the Sakura rains
Peace and love flowing through my veins

Khar!

An alkaline extract!
my mouth drools

everytime I think of the dish
whether it is the beloved 
amitar khar (i know as papaya khar),

khar dal (i know as khar with lentils),
not to quit

In the gentle haze of emerald leaves
Is balm for minds wrestling with unease

With a sweet green goddess solace found
In the garden where anxiety is unbound

She whispers to an overanxious soul
Dancing to a peaceful melody to...

Crepuscular darkness coats the viridescent blades with icy black frost
Yet another exuberant day finds slumber at the behest of a sonorous lullaby
The hour of opulent candlelight has finally been crossed
And pursuit of halcyon dreams continue...

Inside penumbra light holding hands fairies dance
Silhouetted to the backdrop of an evening sky  
Viridescent trees softly whisper
Vacuously standing side by side   
In those shrouded places where fairies take a stand. 
Wings...

Sometimes we see a glint of gold or red
emitted sudden as a warning through
the greening water of the old square tank outside,
an evanescent wink from just beneath
the awning of the lolling lily pad.

Within this viridescent...

To love one so fair, is but a mystery to me,
To be able to charish someone, Tis' a fantasy.
Her hair as autumn as the sunrise, that rises from the east,
Down to her smile as crescent...

In hay-sweet evening air, crimson reds dotted around.  Beautiful scented flowers on the ground.
The poplar tree sways in the summer grace, it's such a heavenly place.
Swathes of bluebells thick and long.  I can...
