For eternity
And all of humanity knows it....

The Place Where the Lost Things Go
I'll become collective
as an antiquity
You have crushed me like a glass
And stepped over
Now my pieces are stuck in your heels
And
you are carrying me everywhere...

An echo in tone sublime
Stretching from antiquity

Stops!
Pulsating in all directions
Coming towards me in great hast
Whispering your name

Memories
Renewed by scene
A heart carved in sapling
Mighty red oak thirty foot high
Heirloom

To receive magic, to break the antiquity of sorrow
Debate reason then face the dire reality of a long night
Face humanity with due cause, burn it all down to start over

Upon the Fields of Antiquity

The wheat fields roll slow
below skies of ocean blue,
as the sun sets low
a heavenly hue of gold
meets soft magenta in love....

Ancient Structures
Structures from antiquity have intrigued me no end
How they achieved such feats I can't comprehend
Moving mammoth stones
Caused grunts and groans
Must have taken superhuman strength, perhaps hemp...

The Caterpillar
The caterpillar’s name can be
traced back to antiquity.
To the ancient Romans, in fact.
It reminded them of a “hairy cat.”
That’s because “cat” and “hairy”
derive from “cattus” and “pelosus” –
just thought you’d like to know this....

Dewdrop
absence of a melody
was wrenching
on the face of a song
surface tension –
a venom creeps
surging in twin black eyes
you raise your price
in extremes
unburdening of embryonic waste
outsider
matches his death

Omambala In February
Present since antiquity
Sustaining humanity
Participating in the dance
The seasonal variation
Tired and weak after the annual labour
As if the water is abandoning it's track
Allowing traders erect shops on her path
Awaiting the rains to replenish the volume...

Revival
It is still the same
subtle and fresh.
Your voice deep
like a grave dark wood,
invades my antiquity.
The chasm within
transports my existence ;
denudes me
and it cast a pall on my sanity.
Disheveled
Grotesque
My own reflection
deceives me.
So lonely
and desperate....

Teapot
Teapot
Hymns a sweet morning will sing,
As teapot pours freshness,
In bowl of great antiquity,
To start the day with zing,
Hymns a sweet morning will sing.

Walking Toeless
Stone by stone you kill me.
Petal by petal I die –
holding a scalpel
to unwrite my name.
Violence
erupts among words.
A temple breaks.
O goddess ! don’t cry beyond silence.
The infant’s milk
spills in darkness.
Antiquity raises a wall
around the mother.
I am vanishing now,
freezing my assets.

Together Until the End of Time
As twilight came to rest upon a time of antiquity
a canopy of crystal tears light a universe of uncertain destiny
colors splashed in a prism of spectral beauty
surround two souls in search of a new days prosperity
with you my friend a companion of strength and will...I roam the land free...

Once a Meat-Vendor in Mylapur*
Set up shop (O!) Brahmin virtue pure
No hungry customers
Knocked past the front shutters
Though brisk business raged at rear door.

Brahmins were not vegetarians from antiquity.

On Going Epitaph
of all the poets I have read
and loved the most are dead
impressions they have left with me
with gentle touch that meant so much
are part of olde antiquity
for they were dead e'er I was born
though not yet gone the pictures stay
and rondelays go on
kipling through my mind
what word's worth a
pound or tenny
son
what wall do
emers own ?...

In the White Noise of Elegy
Her pale face is voided antiquity,
a paper-thin line
fallen fresh
from flowery fallacy
to hardwood floor, coiled
cold & blue in landing;
words, like little
droplets of April rain,
a distant deluge
of drought parsing orange
Hemerocallis petals
trenching
around her.
To see it unfold.
Bent at the altar,
Spring’s forgotten daughter can’t....

I Live Here
Do you know where I live?
I live in Rome
I live in Greece
I live in Egypt too
These three great kingdoms of antiquity
have all faded into obscurity
So I ask you,
do you know where I live?
Syracuse once was a great city
in ancient Rome
Philadelphia once was a great city
in ancient Greece
Memphis once was a great city
in ancient Egypt
Now, do you know where I live?...

Bravo
Looking onward... yet to ponder a poets yesteryear
Of remembred Antiquity
So close a ravaging storm to match
or perhaps a gripping novalistic story with a sweet dance
to accompany
Nevertheless breathless I ponder his yellow streaked pages of bewilderment
O' how the river wild tumbles in a drowning symphony
O' this dulcet love he proclaims
As an orange fire sun come to rest...
