Sunrise
The sun rises slowly here,
fingers of sunlight
lifting his body over the wall
of marshland to check
on his children.

most violent war
a marshland for the masses
crocodiles eat

loving their fodder
dragging corpses in water
hiding evidence...

October Bliss
each gesture flickers

blazing gold and russet tones

huffed breaths sing of olden notes

October shimmers

on marshland trails bound to gleam

before winter shifts to white

Premium Member Had My Fill
Sad indeed the tears we shed in hollow marshland 
streams,
bad vibes worsen childhood fears, they shatter midnight dreams,
mad at tactless ghostly jeers and oddball moonlight beams, 
had my fill of twilight years when chasing eye blind schemes,
fad disowned by trendy peers who look quite miffed it seems, 
glad I’m one with bright careers and happy prospect teams...

Water's Edge Where Memories Float Down the Stream
When I look at yonder sky in the setting sun
while walking on a path by the water’s edge
following memories as it floats down the stream,
I saw tinged autumnal leaves beckoning me
on the hill behind my old home. 

The footmarks piled to grow high as my height
and they sway in the chilling wind 
with reeds by a marshland,
I am standing by a riverside
that I left behind my home
reddened in the evening glow....

Afternoon Afterthoughts
Like a late afternoon afterthought,
a sudden, heavy downpour drenches
and floods the parched marshland.

Here and there, across what once was 
a mirror lake, wet grasses cast swaying, 
tapering shadows in the dying light.


As the skyline fades into the twilight,
exultations throaty and raucous echo
from new puddles, fresh waterholes.

Shrill jubilations of insects and night birds
fill the air, rejoicing over a sense of rebirth
in the aftermath of a rainy afterglow!
