White
White Light
Contains All Of
The Colors Of
The Visible Spectrum.
If We Could See More,
It'd Probably Be More.
RUFF! RUFF!
Roughly
380 to 700
NANO-
METERS!
Tiny Lil' Waves
In-Visible...
The WAVY Part Of
VISIBLE Light.
The Invisible Part.
I Already Said That.
Well, That Doesn't Help
To Tell You, Whether
You're Sighted Or Not!
Whether You Trust Me Or Not?
Whether You're Human, Or Animal
Or Vegetable Or Mineral!
White Light Is Truly: Electromagnetic
Tidal Emissions From 380-700 nm.
All The Light.
The 'Color' White Is A Reflection Of That.
That's What It's Like To Be White.

a daughter
When I look back
I relive petty torments
The way you teased me
The way I displeased you
The scars I needn’t show
With nowhere else to go
Avoided you miserably
Your need for turbulence
had held me hostage
Your drama
Day by day
Flashes of you
Only glimpses of possibility
Vows of a better life
When I look back

SANTA IN CHRISTMAS GLOBE
Scarlet dress, stressed face, Santa stuck in Christmas globe.
Red robe hanging loose
Diffused confused looks.
His yearly global visit is already scheduled,
Christmas celebration ahead.
Afraid! How to be out?
Stout Santa though old, getting anxious for the delay.
Sleigh to be pulled, Reindeer ready, becoming brusque.
Jingle bells in queue nm about to ring,
Spangles and stars to sparkle on Christmas Tree.
Bundle of candles to kindle and carol to be sung by all.
Christmas cake in oven to bake
Reckless populace in festive mood.
Should it be nice to confine Santa more,
making him morose!
Mere statue inside globe.
Santa is venturing adventure with lots of gift.
Don’t worry. Be Merry.
Santa Claus with us: Happy Christmas.
Third Place

I sit down
A glimpse of my past flashed
Right in front of my life
Everybody doing what their heart desires
I was in the background watching as life surpasses me
Mother choose my faith and my way of life
I felt like a slave in the 3rd world
Oh mother I saw a future of dreams that have to be a thought
Everybody smiling and enjoying their childhood to the blink of no life
"live fast die young" I imagined my life at a moment
Mother closed her eyes and never saw the sky of light
I had to think like an adult than play like a child
I was brought to a land of cheese and milk
But only to find out they were rotten
I was made a maid of a thousand mistress
I thought my grave was determined
Until my unseen God gave me a Disney
The place I nm ow feel free and at home
I am free at last
Free of a past that drained my future
I am silently waiting for my future with all the joy in the world

My love cars
My first rendezvous
was Honda Civic iVtec
black automatic,
1799 cc, 4 cylinders
130 bhp, torque 172Nm,
Stole my heart
speed bound no limits,
Left me for a new owner.
Shunning loneliness,
Magnetised by
his macho shape
and pearl white colour,
Graceful eye to eye
luxurious costume,
I let his lusty belt
embrace my waist,
One button start
and we were together
Adrenaline gush
to a four by four,
Off road
over tough terrain
wondered his guts....
2800 cc, 4 cylinders
178 bhp, torque 350Nm,
Pajero Mitsubishi
my passion SUV.
Five years later
as it betrayed,
My heart cried
Grief of parting .....
Toyota Fortuner
my next fortune,
D- 4D, inter cooler
Turbocharger 2982 cc
168 bhp, Torque 343 Nm
Walked into my life
tough milky white,
Hugged me dear
wiped my tears,
My next love
its exquisite walk,
I try to escape those
Green eyed monsters
those road runners....
One Land Rover
Range Rover evoque
is now eying at me,
Waiting for
another heartbreak....

Different shapes and different sizes.
Inside is where the real prize is.
Big or small, short or tall.
The outside's not the same for all.
But that is not what really counts.
Not by a ton, not by an ounce.
It doesn't matter blue or green,
Or any color in between.
You can be a boy and wear a bow,
Or be a girl who loves to mow.
If you walk with feet, or use a chair,
It does not matter here, nor there.
Our hearts are all the same, you see.
We are no different, you and me.
As long as you be the very best you,
You'll see the best in others, too!

The Veteran
(In Haiku Verse)
I lost my poor soul
In the jungle – in the sand
Now I don’t fit in
I walk down the streets
No job, no home, no nothing
Nobody sees me
I’m begging for help
For work, for lodging, for life
Nobody hears me
What have I become
Where’s the me I used to be
Didn’t he come back?
I search and I search
We were all there together
Now I am alone
I was in Albuquerque, NM and saw them on the street. They did not say a word to me but this is what I saw in their eyes.

She say her sh is so cold it belong in Alaska
Well guess what, here I am, Alaska
I might even let her hit that, if only she ask, ah
See I know her as my Goddess, my idol
Here to stand for y'all as perfection, role model
Her purpose is to raise us once more to follow
But some of you just stand there empty, like a cave, hollow
So raise your voice and bow your knees
do as she says cause she's the Queen
do as she says, do what pleases
I can command you cause I'm her priestess
So fall to the floor and know your true purpose
Realize who you are, and that she's our Mistress
She is our Lady, our Mother, our Goddess

Here, under the dead moon,
Under the twilight,
I write of my wife.
Where are you now,
Wearing robes of grandeur?
For you the synthesis
Of life and death
Has met at the juncture.
I see you all in white and looking on,
Waiting as at a bus stop
For someone to dismount,
While I, with a tear,
Remain and remember.
Somewhere in the cat’s cradle
A nexus is woven in silk.
Here in the desert of standing rocks
Every monolith is a monument.
The sun sank today,
And so did you sink
Beneath the sod.
It is a long night for me,
Held by gravity
To this flying rock
Like a sentinel on guard.
The nights are long with torment.
My night waits with a hood.

Oasis on sixty-six
beckons weary travelers.
One step off the chosen path.
Nostalgic flashback.

Oh c !
What am I doing here?
I can't see the bottom!
I'm not ready!
It didn't look this bad from the bottom!
The moguls are as tall as me!
Black diamonds are some kind of watermelon...
Al's run...Taos, NM
Did he die here?
Am I going to die here?
At the bottom smiling...
Let's go again!!!!!!!
