Some Like It Hot

With coriander cumin turmeric
basmati rice saffron and spice
onions chilli peppers
and all things nice
with chapati and chutney

but tasty is best
tandoori tikka masala
korma's a meal with zest
chicken lamb chickpeas or lentils
a dinner for two you do not hurry
allow what you've got to simmer in the pot

SOON THE SAFFRON SHOW

What joy to see the end of winter days
As snowdrops rise with bells of ermine white,
The signal that winter has reached its end.
More hours of precious daylight now appear
And no longer the shroud of gloomy grey.
At last we wake up from that long cold night
And look forward to seeing saffron show
When from the black loam

Saffron Skylines

Silk-
starfish
of fervent
fate weaves soft-quartz 
feathers of marshmallow metaphors that 
croon with firefly's fluorescence amidst life's
claustrophobic 
clouds, shading
bitter
smogs 
with
plush sweet-
dahlias;
And I chase light
within saffron skylines beyond dreamscapes.

Saffron Sapling Smell

so cute love poem
so swell sweet short smooth slap-up

Saffron Spring

Blooms bountiful on laughter lane
Purple peonies after raging rain
May melodies, sunshine songs
in emerald elms and garden green
A waking world, scents swirled
Saffron spring, scarlet ruby rose ~
Creamy clouds roam restlessly, slow.

Leaves rustle in wind
Tinted in hues of saffron
Salutes lost heroes

Uluru

Five hundred million years ago
This all was covered in sea…
Fans of sand turned Uluru
Where life had come to be.

Days of light with lemon bright;
Reflecting monolith,
The largest in the world and
How I’m taken with…

Coral, Saffron ,Tangerine,
Watermelon riches…
The lilac and the lavender;
Aquamarine thus switches.

Sacred land of crimson blood;
Earth beneath my feet
Where chartreuse grass does surpass
Dramatic desert heat.

Clad In Saffron

This waning season
                         renouncing its joys clad in
                       

Saffron Sun

Saffron sun


Your amber-umber eyes, penetrate me
as saffron sun sets on faces, ashen
Your suspicious mind raves with jealousy
as pumpkin winds chill our summers passion

Saffron Glow

I spent my day shopping for rubies,
Deemed they would bring luck in life.
Decided to buy a pair of ruby ear-rings as
I wished to gift them to my wife. 

I stepped into a jewelry stores. 
At once, I was perplexed.
Found the gems in myriad red colors.
The task of picking caused me to be vexed.

It was the

In Saffron Deliciousness

I bask in saffron deliciousness,  mind-lapping this moment of utter simplicity.
Inside the mindfulness of my chrysalis, I relish a metamorphosis
to new-found freedom’s sweetness 
which flits away agony and woes on butterfly wings.

Saffron Summer

Saffron Summer

Golden sets of surfs surfaces delve a surreal saffron sky,
Sands surrender shoeless soles that traipsed an eclipsing trail,
Amber rays supremely herald as an ocher beach comply,
Gild glitters halcyon flocked doves sprung free a summer's veil.
