Night Heaves a Sigh
A friendship can turn
on a mere word or two
Night heaves a sigh ~

As the City SleepsI mourn.
For the houses,
as their lights die out.
One, by one. I stop.
I start to see…
Through the other side of glass,
as the city sleeps at night.

far below me lies a village
with its houses hewn from stone
and though Everyman who lives there
bravely claims he’s not alone,
i can tell him, yes u are!
for u cannot touch the stars

Saint Catherine Was ExcaliburI always said tether to the void
Not any idealistic reason or choice
Now suspended I know why I’ve been devoid
Because how can one speak with an inside voice
Where no one can hear you outside yourself
Dawn of...

apologies to Byron
I.
Flamingo-minted, pink, pink cheeks,
dark hair streaked with a lisp of dawnlight;
I have seen your shadow creep
through eerie webs spun out of twilight...
And I have longed to kiss...

Intertwined Souls In Passionate UrgeAh! All fades away,
nothing remains...
but carved names
into cold stones!
The scent of evening's kisses,
the touch of trembling hands
also drift away
into pretty sunsets!
Intertwined souls
in passionate urge
make moaning surge;
no crickets sound distracts,
no moonlight gets admiration:
we're...

Don't Dream, Don't CryDon't dream, don't cry...
don't let be something
of your daily living;
as you know dreams
don't last more than a single night!
Don't dream, don't cry...
don't shiver under your sheets:
wish for the guy who held you tight!
Don't dream, don't...

Awake AriseAwake, in the silence of the night, a sound is heard
Winds of change whisper heaven’s secret Word
Breaking free the chains that bind and enthrall
Declaring the call to rise and stand tall
With the dawn breaking, a...

IF THE NIGHT CEASES TO COMEThe world would be a merrier place
Where people worry not
What tomorrow brings
For there would be nothing to look up to.
We would go about our business
In absolute happiness

Moonlight Whitewash MinichuThe moon inclines in the trees
To walk her dreams against the boughs,
A fade on her full body's beams
Where the leaves wiggle in gold—
Now with miffed sky's dizzying slight;
Then jumble on craters, silver mold
Different eyes
Long fright
Nights

Night of mysteriesNIGHT OF MYSTERIES
Night of mysteries
Tomorrow is not certain
We are eager to shift the curtain
Just to speak about today stories..
Life don't give chance,
We focus more to uncertainties
But everything is full of vanities
Yet opportunity comes...

Still Nights
In still skies,
Sapphire glistens
Roaring across the night,
Heaven’s seas, rich melodies
Caressing the silence
Tempting sighs
On the breath of desire,
Moments colored in fire,
Rustling the Autumn leaves
On mahogany trees –
Oaks, maples and walnut,
All the earth’s verdant smiles,
Alive...

Night's Many ColorsMysterious blue
as midnight moonlight spills on
meandering dreams.
Once butterflies' ball is done
merlot bliss lies past the sun!
Red Mars reveries
join nights of mulberry rose
camouflaging green.
So many are not sleeping
when the yellow warblers sing....
