Effect of Redness
As the blush of a lovely breast spreads
Harpy eagle's desire hovers over the Tigris River
Taurus rides the high tide of excitement.
The Cliff gets inundated by huge floods
Turbulent is the danger time boat-
Turning the inkpot upside...

Halloween DisguiseDressed in Halloween disguise
We battle the pumpkin flies
Teeth sharp like our nails
Smiles tell such fake tales
We seek a mortal blood prize...

Crack the CodesA man once stood with might, before men
Preached "Fruits before marriage is a sin"
And a crowd stood with a sudden objection.
Showing great opposition.
I was part of the crowd,
But where my ground lies its a secret.
But...

Cosmic CreamIn the Divine expanse of a cosmic dream,
flickering in the night-time sky,
swaying to the music of unanswered spheres,
cradled by the light of a moonbeam's sigh.
Lit by the magic of the dazzling stars,
from a thousand light-years...

The Picture on the Parlor Wall
I’m followed by two eyes that gaze out from
the picture on the parlor wall. Those eyes!
If they were real, I think I would feel numb
to know from nowhere I had seen arise
a monster from the...

THERE'S A WIDENESS IN GOD'S MERCYDown the corridors of mortal existence
He pursued me without ceasing,
Never yielding in his search of the lost,
Nor flinching from the wounds he carried
To gain admittance to my broken heart.
Out of a love beyond...

When Evening ComesLet us pretend that we are still alive
Who cares anyway, if I would walk
Down to the shore, along the shady drive
To watch the sunset, hear the seagulls croak
Why I was born a human, dear angel?
It...

a shroudNeon glow against
a canvas of night,
Solitude of a crow
Silent conversations
Longing hangs the air
Coffee cups half-full
Silent sips vacant stairs
Of quiet despair
The night is a shroud

Foresta leisurely stroll,
walking alone in the park,
I voice deep secrets -
thoughts that I have never shared -
with the forest primeval
verdant, sheltering,
it absorbs the unrevealed;
nature is opaque:
so much hidden in plain sight...
distinct yet indefinite...

Tranquil Tomato BrothEasy spirit. Bones erased into dust. Much heavy man made nothing in seconds.
Justice is meaningless before the mountains of death
Harmony in silence
Waking inside a spider web of my own creation
Junk food makes me...

From Rose to RosewoodPigtails sat tightly on her head
Curls poking through
And framing her face.
The bear kept her company,
Sat close by her head.
The dolls sat carefully placed
Drinking tea around the table.
Her name in blocks
Across the wall,
Not easily missed by...

Staircase To Nowhere
Here’s a staircase to nowhere
You can try to climb on top
Just to see the world from there
While ascending, you can drop
See the steps are wet and rotten
Loose, unsafe and slippery
What is up there you've forgotten?
What...

Life Grows QuickA simple lady passing
youthful age,
yet charming.
How time flies
she's my niece
my mind's neglect.
I saw her many
years, a toddler
now, a fine lady.
Life grows quick
like three minutes
noodles, mystery lane....
