Yielding to those who have mastered the art
Of grasping one's place in existence's grand scheme

Neath shimmered strings of starlight’s breeze, crepuscular in night
on trodden soil he lay with slumbered eyes.
Lashed to oak, his chestnut mare in dream just out of sight
snaps free as lightning flashes; flares the skies.

Listen for the rustling sound
of the beady-eyed belly crawlers 
deceitful serpents slithering on the ground, 
flicking a two-forked tongue and hissing.
They should be heeded as a dire warning
when tempting us as if to say, 
"Ssssssss..."...

Ah, ‘Love’! a lover’s repeated mantra!
I see me mutter it, just now, very now.
Sigh I high, a busy, burning furnace,

while floating on a fluffy, velvety...

Her teeth beautifully arrange in the same bright and white of eyes

She make her curvy walk on the street, and her untainted pensiveness transform the place to...

Walk through life with mirth
Laughing, loving, liberating friends and foes
Daring to enliven them as from my favourite firth
I breaststroke ashore and send a rose

To signify my noble intention
Meant to fulfill a wish 
I made to...

He slowly walks the lonely crowded road

lost in love and Self and lucky destination

Has no clue where his barren  feet will lead

Sandy ripples where the pavement rapped...

I like it when she talks
I like the way her hands fly through the air, animating, orchestrating a ballad of colourful characters, each word coupled with a swoop or sway or swing or charade.

I know it, I know it well
Its to pleased myself, the lost part
Hanged in the neck and cuffed on the wrist

Awake through afternoons and ageless nights,
the poet waits for a muse to sneak.
His brumous mind reminisces,
frantically exploring a galaxy of words.
He looks for a lofty mountain hiding in the fog.
He looks for a crimson fireball...

at times the soul gets clenched
in an unspeakable grief
in a demoniac grip, it chokes and wriggles
the pain of being stung by a dozen scorpions
or hacked piece by piece by an axe
tremulous grows the heart, over...

Clean air has now become a pipe dream. 
The bleak energy speaks loudly,
With a lot of stale and toxic air.

For the past half billion years
They crawled the earth both soil and sphere
Million trillion unknown souls
To eat and breed their only goal

In pairs romance 'neath damp moonlight

Throughout the year they dig and...

A gift did he give to...
