MIST OF LIFE

A thumb being sucked 
As little feet kick
The exuberance of life
A heartbeat so quick

A distant drum
One heart shared by two
A spirit from God 
We deny it - but knew!

There is no voice
No way...

Capsizing the Costa Concordia

Divers wreathe silently through
the submerged corridors of a 
140,000-ton wreck. Little fish
dark haphazardly through
the juxtaposition of tilted ballroom,
granite bars fixed in place.
Black waters lit green by headlamps
provide a surreal spotlight
for a loveseat drifting by

But of course last time when we did look,
Should see body;
Sure is gaudy,
And another scheme up he tried to cook.

To Trump if not...

Soul - an outcast ?

Soul is an outcast beneath this sheath,
seldom surfacing from right underneath!
Stoic as ever at the on-going spectacle;
intervening wisdom - ever expecting a miracle.
Apprehended and obsessed to thrills that dissipate;
oblivious to the...

"At Times I Wonder"
By M. Taha Effendi

(Nazam)

At times I wonder what life would have been worth
Spent cloaked in soft shades of your sable tresses
If ill-fated darkness that shrouds my  wrecked hearth
Was slayed by vigorous...

Silver floats the moon and boughs slender sway,
fleeing on her trembling breath
her light feet braves.
Rising of the lea in the dappled grey,
As she wore her verdant robes,
on her vestal form in surging waves.
He shielded her...

If Fall shall rob fair summer of her boon,
    And steal the gloried rays of her gold sun,
And dreamy essence of her calming moon,

When we sow a seed 
Give generous earth a baby to breast feed
Water, mineral and air
She anchors to her lap the root of kid
To let it weather away stormy air

When seed break through earth
Air and...

It's easier to say it by mouth than doing it
and whenever I bump into you,
I get a strong feeling to hold you;
oh, if that ever happens: I'll be smiling a lot! 

I don't quite understand...

The moon fell, splashing into the sea
and left me grasping for its last light.
I turned, accepting we did not agree.
Would the moon rise again so bright
as when you were beside me,
embracing in the shoreline’s bight?

You...

She prances in countless poses 
And brags, ‘today lasts forever
Shall I not flaunt what I have?
And what’s my business
If eyes follow my flesh to feed?’

Living in the fool’s paradise
She looks on at her bearers’ head
And...

Perfect Angel

I ended up having a lobotomy,
Brain won't remain inside of me;
After having had a tonsillectomy
Ceased to exist each one will be.

They already removed my appendix
And made sounds like Jimmy Hendrix;
Now no longer were they...

Mist glides above the pristine waters,
Divine clouds rest gently upon the peaks, 
Of fair and turquoise Walensee.

Night falls and moon-glow illumes,
The everblooming and serene hills,
Of clear and lofty Walenstadt.

Hidden within the lush green flora,
Leaning against...

I may love you, once love is all I have;
someday, with tears I'll wash away your grave:
till then I curse you since you died at last,
leaving me broke, alone, going nowhere fast. 

Despite young Cupid,...

GIRL GOES GALLIVANTING 

A precarious quest taken alone 
In search of that 'unique identity',
She's gallivanting around, on her own 
In ecstasy, from city to city,

Heeding no one, she flies free like a kite,
Breaking hearts wherever...

Take of a turn of three
time to talk of penumbra tales
beneath a taramond tree
trials and wailings of two lives in the vale

The life of young from it infancy
thence gradual, conventional neither fantasy

Elements Part II-Wind

Brisk breeze beyond the bluster of the buzzes from bumblebees,
great gusts gifted and granted toward the garden full of greaves.

Coiling curves within curls created contingent upon the current,

And a hundred reasons of why I left
Lovely smiles haunted by a charming spree

Going against each others grain, so we despise
Out there are many, each other through their eyes
For it's against the against, what matters so 

Encircled we are, formed we wreathe

I see no reason for this toxic state
other than hate or desired submission
found in my dream
where a kiss upon the heart
is a rusty chain 
hanging on walls of circumstance
a vision within a vision
wrapped around my...
