Just Deserts

The Drunk Driver must know...
That if he does not care...

A man that drives like Hell...
Well,
Let"s hope he ends up there.

Sahara a Zero Like

Earth is like a sheet of paper,

A4 size,

Deserts on Earth like zeros written on the paper,

Sahara in large fonts,

In small others!

Between Fantasy and Dream

Future's hand
brandishes a sword
for what felt like heaven
my path to hell
and the only spin
my toppling head
into the basket
of just deserts.


Bloom

Oh how my heart does bloom
When you breathe my name
A sound softly swept through
The din of a dying world
A rainfall to quench the thirst of deserts

Where Is Your Abode

Where is your abode 
O flying-like-bird lady?
 What's at Jaipur, and what's in Dehradun!
 Do you fly to forests in sizzling summers  ,
And deserts in snowy  winter?

Blind

To the heavens, undying faith we pray

For confirmation, deserts we excavate

Doubter and believer, lead truth astray

Tolerance not, nor morality, religions’ demonstrate

Rain For Good

Long hours of power cut means-
Dried reservoirs,
Dried hearts towards people-
The Old age
The Children
The Sick
The Pregnant

These hearts all dried,in deserts no rain!

Premium Member The Past Lives of Deserts

Raindrops dropping out,
                                                  Sea sank below golden sand,
                                                              Ashes of water.

Wyoming Nuptial

Whispering rainbows
thundering skies
Canyons majestic
deserts on fire

Snow covered passes 
vows to renew
The altar awaits
— Grand Teton in view

Arid

Fragments of copper scatter; 
smothers an Opal kiss
the surface only matters; 
ardour does not exist,
and deserts of weary Chicory 
sway with limestone tips, 
swelling like the cactus
blistering our lips.

Come

Come, the gates are open: nothing standing in the way! Deserts lost, hearts broken filled full with joy again! Truth’s heights found in fathomless deeps: For the land fair follows fast upon the lowest sight

Chasing Its Tail

Language has limits
when backed to the wall

Its truth self-defining
by sages et al.

Language deserts us
as meaning retreats

Its light self-diffusing
—when destiny speaks

Premium Member Circus Children


Fresh berries in the pancakes
With nutty maple syrup.
Sheer joy may be stated
By children at the circus.
Mid-summer Bluebird Day
The Greatest show on earth.
Their smiling, glowing faces
Became our just deserts.

Overlapped

Hues overlapped the seasons of smiles,
When you walked away, 
Clouding minds with denial, 
Swinging hearts with a sway,
Searching for lands and deserts so far,
To assemble mountains and lakes,
And make her forget the scar.

Discarded With

As upswept, a dune
And o'er deserts on
This deedness of feeling left you with in
Heart's own barren place?

"Harsh words, and burning
Of a cruel, fierce man
Yes; as such tumbleweed left me, therein.
Rootless. Blown apace."
Form: Rhyme

Artha

Her tongue is made of sulfur
Mud drowns the fields
Fine sand billows over deserts
Soil sprinkled over graves
Blood and sweat for charcoal
Swallowed tears, for potter’s clay
Niter, mortar, a vessel
To give birth, and to slay
