Pursuit of Infinite Knowledge and Understanding
(In a Lush Garden Somewhere Out There)
The student stands where shifting sands of thought
Once firm with reason
now elusive truths are sought.
Its splendor wanes
a threadbare fading strand,
A quest for wisdom
in this digital land.

Where any heavy fault and pain is found,

In some province far away.

As it seemed a distant threat.

Haikuverse Harvest
January juxtapose
More cold now
Beyond hot heat!
Cold cold air
Windy surprise;
Minus heat therapy?
Winding way whirls
Shiver seeding shiver
January jostling juice
Lotus sunbathe --
Muddy pond flavours

Windy detours
New year in late January,
Oozing days forfeit;
Scent of the times!
Why do...

on a branch that is otherwise bare,
trembling, a leaf...

OPPRESSION OF FURNITURE PROPERTY

Their missionaries demonized their humanity.
Their merchants made them chattel.

Black Widow Damsel
The suitors of your best facade,
the havoc under innocence
cloaked in lies of heaven sent,
They come with flowers wrapped to
bear,
and you stare as,
you string their names with no care.
Yeah, you aim the strings at
nowhere,

Perverse Imp

Littered with trash and splattered gloom
Fettered and sentenced to early doom
Distressed and distraught to a sordid mood
Creeps and crawls and stalks at night

God Has No Clothes

Man’s mind meanders among the stars endless.
Who, what, where, when and how, our questions are relentless.
No infinity is too far to see, no space too small, or pointless to be.

They called me “Savage”. Yet I had no...
