Short Dryly Poems

Blushing the pink arises 
Seeping into this open wound 
Like the love created by a child 
The heart and mind dryly consumed 
Racing, taking, its undecided 
The Rose peddles drift on to the ground 
The world, a memory lost and blinded 
Swaying and fleeting, the lungs left breathless. ...

We are creatures of the Night,
imprisoned, dreaming, in the Day
yielding to the murderous light
trapped within our cell we stay
crying out we scream in fear,
sobbing dryly, disappear
while eternity is joyful never,
terror reigns on us forever
hypnoteric counter-minds
falling ever on the blind
kill the person, kill the now
kill ideas, you murder hope
with destruction we're endowed
ever growing in its scope...

Somewhere past the fallen limbs
Of old tangled oaks and elm
Breaking silence as lighting dims
Rushing whispers split the realm

Mocking silence with a hush 
It slicks the stones of shallow brook,
Exalting in babble with a gush,
I turn to take a humble look.

Searching fluid sounds of creation
Articulating His wordless voice, 
Tears fall dryly at my sublimation
To waters endless song , rejoice.

A sudden shift in human beings
     Not intelligible for animals.
     Started gaping at masters’ masks
     And noticed them frequently washing their hands. 
     All were confined to houses
     Fluorescent nights and empty roads. 
     In the dark silence of eerie,
     It was like a dumb city.
     A stray dog’s plight,
     Moved here and there to quench its appetite.
     Bins laughed dryly at the beast,
     Bequeathed a fist from my feast....

To my enthusiastic:
        - Good Morning...!
        She speaking inwardly answered:
         - Take care !
         Then I said,
         - I must leave!
        She said dryly,
         - Me too...!
        - Should I go ...?
         - Go get your train ...
         "So I'm going ... are not you coming?"
         - I'm going, I'm just ... I do not need
             nobody... !
          - Catch you later...
          - Until never, farewell... !...
