desire and hope
ego groping
elopes with fear...

Left sock, lone rebel,
elopes with the tumble dryer—
true love eats its mate....

Moon in my living room.
Our reflection would do the same.
Then your teal pulse,
Harried by a singing wind,
Elopes in your ears,
Right where I kiss you....

birds wing back to homes
scarlet tint colors the sky
twilight blurs the scene 
a creepy stillness descends,
as the Sun elopes with Light

Fleeting Victory


Bleeding hearts
With deadened glare 
Sullen faces
Staring at the darkened phase
Looming keenly ahead
Staggering at the eloping future
along the sneaky passage
As the future elopes
Without a trace

When wantonness elopes the green
a blaze of colour occurs
stretched far into the day
The reciprecent celebrates
the elopers attention
The golden hum of bees pervades
along the meadowed stretch
as young lovers discuss
their two tired options
like pebbles along the sycamore bridle...

What are words
  if not remembered

What are feelings
  never spent

What is time
  if not then fleeting

What is love
  not heaven sent

What are gifts
  beneath the wrapping

What are wishes
  beyond all hope

What are words
  if not remembered

What is left
—when faith elopes

What is time

What is love
  not heaven sent

What are gifts

What are wishes

What is love
  once past September

What is left

I rise up bright,
to see milky cream clouds turing red;
My shine touches the snowy dews,
Grasses shine with the golden glitters;
Icy snow elopes with cooling breeze,
Songs of love sung by the happy beaks...
Giantic trees dances with my golden beauty,
Glassy windows reflects my beautiful smile;
Yet, a lazy goose sleeping romantically,
    hugging her softy white merch pillows....

Competing infinities,
which one to choose

Existential polarities,
exchanging their views

Superpositioned,
anthropic in scope

The tradeoff endemic,
whose difference elopes

Twin parallel universes
push and then pull

Existing in quantum,
the vacuum is full

Symbiotic in concept,
his razor now sharp

As we search for their meaning
—ever lost in the dark

Imaginations without limits
Wholeness of awe
No sound was heard
The body crumbles
‘Cos the feet loose their strength

Silence without end
Glory beyond description
Joys to overflowing
Warmth have skipped
Memory elopes
Nothing would contain
Would have skipped
Memory elopes
Nothing would contain
What this presence brings
No comparisons
No alternatives
Everything beyond words
Where the soul is nourished...

I was riding the bus to work
One day,
When the fellow sitting next to me
Turned to say
There’s an interesting article
In the newspaper today.
I looked at him,
My curiosity was roused.
Page seven he he said, if you care to browse.
I unfolded my paper and
Turned to the page.
Two-words caught my eye.
As I started to read,
I scratched my head.
Was this a mistake,
I questioned myself.
But sure enough
It was true
A Pope eloped yesterday afternoon...

Sunshine smiling smarties on sugary snowy slopes
Eating éclair evenings where everyone elopes
Cotton Candy climbing with cascading caramel
Delicious dancing donuts devilishly desirable

Jumping jealous jellybeans jousting with the jujubes
And tasty toffee truffles taunting the tootsie roll tubes
What a Wonderful Wunderbar World of Mr. Willy Wonka
A virile victorious vision before we get to the Vodka.
