Dawn

My love awakens me
with playful purrs,
with kitty licks
and padded paws --
we are never far
from our primitives,
to know the world by
touch, and God through
tactile mystery, repli...

That Breath
...There is a power which drives us all, and
Our consciousness is a breath which
Has been pushed into us
Like we press on buttons to switch on
In-animated machines!
Yet, it has chosen to remain...

Then and Now
...Once there was a time (of course, not so long),
I was, in body and mind, not so strong;
Any death, as though it's my own, scared me,
Mishaps and blood I couldn't dare to see...!
Then, when I sa...

Politics Is An Enterprise
...Politics is an enterprise
Prediction must bow to intrigue and surprise
You could philosophize in detail but then have to summarize
You could appeal in entirety or locally polarize
You could seek ...

Old Zanzibar
...I am thinking of moving to old Zanzibar
Where I shall relax and strum my guitar,
Among the fields of cinnamon and clover
Perhaps I shall invite a few friends over,
To while away what ...

Porcelain
...As I philosophize in this ferocious rain
In search of a gentle note on this quatrain
Inside I see a strong, impermeable porcelain
And you trying to break it, not in vain...

that brings impatient tourists
to discover the beauties

I Know That I Know Nothing
...3 May 2019 10:27 Am
I Know that I know nothing and nothing surely knows me
There for I and nothing are a commonality
I know that I'm a dreamer of life and what I see
So is life the dream or ...

Autumn Reverie
...From the bower of my abode,
At dawn and twilight I strode.
Crispy leaves rustled as I passed,
Over frosty, shimmering grass.
Craving even paler sun on my face,
Amid stiff breezes I set a good ...

With the great and good
What is right
And what is wrong

And what is wrong?

It permeates
Every though
Every action

dark sky duvet pushed back
stars close their eyes
The restless few
their beady eyes
small marbles
see all
and everything
hip ceaselessly
don't find peace

Travel Light
...Day and night, I trip time while crossing datelines.
Slicing between stars, my ride purrs with speed turbines.
To Walden’s Pond, I frequently, eagerly go
for chats with my hero, the first hippy...
