He forgot last year...

a crow flies across the sky
with tattered up wings...

leaving its forlorn shadow

 stranded on the ground...

your love crashed into my heart  
I am in deep sea...

lulled heat and moon-breeze —
a crow flies in dervish dusk
of Autumn sunrise

Crow flies arrow true,
from limbs hung in dark cold 
cloaks. 
Ebbed sun, strikes the day....

MIRAGE!
  -Dharga Nagar Safa.     

Sheet of water,

Running on the hot road,

An innocent crow flies fast!...

a crow flies by
our perfunctory glance
both stuporous and apathetic
refusing energy exchange 
an opportunity missed

I saw two birds on a page; two eyes,
Away from the Sun, their wings spread wide.
Chasing miles home in the black winter skies,
One hundred and fifty, as any crow flies....

As the crow flies
the pig sighs
as the doughs rise
the twig cries

as the grass grows
the freckle knows
as the moss shows
the heckle throws

as the pig tries
the child lies
as the wig glows
The tale grows...

summoned black diamond
sun's at other side of night
with the dream roses

heart of joy twinkling
gone down in sea of colors
star of plum evening

still in its peach prime
and dust of the day settles
crow flies to midnight...

FENCE

tall and green
keeping something in
or keeping something out?

tall    dividing
crow flies over
dumps

old and leaning
oh
those heavy birds!

tall and strong
just a line
from 30,000 feet

see the house
see the wall
fear built...

tenuous connections
porous holes
slipshod precision
damaged souls

furious, the pace
rounding the bend
a devil of a race
face down in the end

the black crow flies
the vulture thrives
countless, the lies
empty, their lives...

DAISY BRAIN

Clever is the chime
Beating over head
     This poem has a rhyme
     That digs a flower bed
Daisy sewn on a pillow brain
As a crow flies overhead
     Merely a peccadillo
     As she counts the dead

Icing on cake not chocolate
Nor white but mixture_gray
Cool air flows over and around
Stirring air; porch breezeway

Crow lands in top of pecan tree
Upon a fragile limb
Another crow joins him_limb bends
Precarious crow whim

Second crow flies away saves face
First crow flies away soon
I wonder if they had pecan
Tart for breakfast or noon

moist cinnamon bark

infused fragrance levitates -

monsoon descends time


rice fields lie flooded

draft windswept change into roots -

rise to the challenge


tea leaves take shelter

swell burgeoning impatience -

cusp spring’s prophesies


seasons scent chances

tease taste bud’s fluid advance -

crow scares wet footing

My special angel, you are watching over me,
In the days of holly, or when it is blossomy.
A secret friend, following me through my days,
Though others may go, your love remains always.

Whenever trouble comes, your might is revealed,
As a hidden garden where beauty's been concealed.
An everloving heart, and knowing mystical eyes,
Your address lies in heaven, as the crow flies!...

Scarecrow

Out of the hand of that ancient man,
the Raven flew to and fro.

Over a devastated land,
washed clean, for new darkness to grow.

That Crow, that black, black Crow,
devouring seed before new life.

That old Crow sees the man on the pole.
That old Crow, flies to and fro with spite.

Nowhere to land, that the man won’t see;
The seed will rise, to fly and dance free!

Don't you see what you'll be?

What is possible

Set you free.

When doubt runs the game

The days are the same

Fix on a worry

Pass off the blame.

Can't you see what king you are?

Stepped from your kingdom

Once too far.

When the crow flies by night

You're lost in your way

You sell off your crown

With the things that you say.

What you'll be is gone

Writing in stone.

What you'll be is gone

When day is done....

Great grandfather tree was wizen and wise.
He kept to himself, southeast of where the crow flies.
We ventured toward him whenever we needed advice.
He was usually entertaining the ducks, locust and mice.

Everyone in the woods gravitated to Great grandfather tree.
His advice was sage, succinct, and as easy to follow as could be.
You almost never got to speak to him alone, he was surrounded by kin.
Sometimes they had to part to let you wander on in....

As The Crow Flies

Staring past the curtain,
At the vigilant crow upon the mast,
The creature unaware of a presence,
In a moment forever lost.

Unflappable in its endeavour,
A breather from its hunt,
A distorted view of the world,
Its cackle alerting its murder..... of its next tenacious stunt!

Unperturbed by darkness,
Its itinerary meticulous, movement, stealth like,
As day gives way to darkness,
A sky drifting magenta decline

~ Streaming 'cross the sky ~

Day dawns from the window of a plane
   Red streaks across the sky
Dispel the darkness in my brain
   Sailing smooth as the crow flies

Upward to the clouds on wings a-glide
   Clear atmosphere on high down to the ground
Drowsiness from eyes so swiftly flies
   Streaming 'cross the sky without a sound

Landing on the runway right on time
   A feat of aviation quite routine
One moment in Chicago, ere we climbed
   In New York ~ of miracles I dream...
