Indomitable
Inhospitable stone wall
Ivy grows rampant
Green leaves sweep in polished style
Nature knows no boundaries....

Blame not the gale, or the inhospitable sea-gulf, or friends’ tardiness,
mariner! Just man’s foolhardiness.

Can't think of a more inhospitable place
The Sahara Desert has such a barren landscape
Yet people exist
Continue to subsist
It boggles the mind how it's a livable space...

In this hospital…

That is like a tinderbox. 

Our screams do not turn us ablaze-

Neither will sitting stolidly.

But if we try to remember the times before we turned evil…

Then this hospital…

Will become fully inhospitable.

Listen to poem:

WINTER GARDEN

where has beauty gone
winter eradication
all colour has died



WINTER MEADOW

frozen spears of grass
across a winter meadow
sparkle in the light



WINTER FOREST

winter trees quite bare
frozen atmosphere prevails
inhospitable.

An inhospitable truth I have
   To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –
   What a terrible truth!

It dances on my tongue
   When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history – it nags;
   On a bone – it gnaws.

It’s the shadow that follows
   My genetic path incurably.
It will follow me into death
   And be the Ghost beside me....

I was lonely,
and in desolate environ,
it was inhospitable,
and a dark gloom,
there was no ray,
of human communication,
though humans abound,
they were all there,
everywhere and here and there,
all interested in own deeds,
giving others negative heed,
cruel as if they were,
they had me effectively barred,
all moved,
so I did,
it was all sad,
as if it was a city of living dead....

No sooner our mind accords preference
to an outcome imagined optimal,
fears boomerang, stifling heart’s radiance,
self-blocking onset of God’s miracle,
manifesting fate inhospitable.
Reworded, our power of creation
births consequence as of thought suggestion,
which being rooted in ego craving,
unwittingly chooses agitation,
whilst cessation enables elation.

She shivers about, tense
at the inhospitable world 
blinds and plexiglass seal frightened creatures from. 
Rocking
from root to root — 
in front, in back, in 
the sun’s silhouette, the wind fancies her social anxious, as if 
her and I were not sustained by the same substance, as if 
our roads will not diverge. When I 
learn her shiver, she softens, then jerks 
her bough closer 
with the reluctant certitude of soul
wanting to imagine glass as air.

I wanted to have refuge
in Atlantis...
what, atlantis
does not exist...!
I wanted to run away to
the space...but the
man turned it it
in space junk...
it will be necessary to die
to find
exile...?
there is some
place, locus where
 i may be
in peace ?
alive...
Some landscape
untouched,
inhospitable...?
desert island,
jungle...
backlands...
anywhere
it urges me, I need...
a place for
in exile to
rest
of this world...
crazy world...
SOS !......

Waves tossed fiercefully high,
Wind blew like typhoon,
Fire razed like inferno,
Earth moved like a quaker,
People turned against like foes,
Climes changed to inhospitable,
Grievous events piled up in heaps,
Everything in the ethereal,
seemed destined for destruction,
for good and for real,
Shook they could everything,
everywhere and all over,
The day was saved,
by that "little" thing,
human "grit" and "determination",
stood"inside"giving a lot of hope....
