The best sort of wonder
Stares blankly, not just at
Rain, and its pooled splat;
As informs mesmeric
On how each act projects
Its ripple effects....

darkened deserts dry
phantom psyches proudly pry

A legend from a distant time 
Candescent, mesmeric, ephemeral, sublime 
And yet I see that light today 
You have my heart you show the way... 
 
...LOVE.
.... ONLY LOVE. 
.......ALWAYS LOVE....

I am Canada crazy
For  canadian literacy.


Take me to Canada;
I wish to meet Brenda.

The city of Richard,
Today poetic orchard.

Mesmeric Maurice-
My daily jollofrice.


Take me to mystic Rose,
Incredible poetic Muse....

Magic crept up in these
meticulous display
majestic ornate trees.
Mild charming fragrant from
mesmeric large blossoms
mystique firm surrounding
matchless and exquisite.

Wild
wind
flutist,
whistles on
dancing canopy,
birds of blue sing in swinging nest…
Sonic silence serenades in soul with bloom of bliss, 
montage of placid petals mingles with mesmeric mindscape in stillness absolute.

Mesmeric gondola ride
Hypnotic lull 
Water barely moving
Dipping and dripping
With barely a sound
Beauty of silence
Gently trailing my fingers under the water
Utterly relaxed
Luxuriating in God’s beauty
Italy’s loveliness
Coaxing me into a gentle nap...

P erfectly composed is she
O bject of the artist's eye
R eginal serenity
T ransfixing every passer-by
R iddle of her mesmeric stare
A ges long has mystified
I taly's Madonna fair
T hrough thick glass immortalized.

Enchanted evening

The edge of the water
  moon shadow eyes
     mesmeric rapture
  star dusted skies 
      euphoric whispers
   reflections of love
       ripples to ponder
   echoes above
      dreaming desires
        forever true
    enchanted evening
          just me and you...

Mesmeric Moon


Welcome midnight sun
Clouds bow away to your shine
Magical mystical Moon
Lovers look and stare
As dreamers bathe in your light
Mesmeric Moon melting hearts.

Bursting buds unfurl the flushing fresco of flower 
Weaving lattice of grandeur on mesmeric meadow 
Fluorescent butterflies flitter in sunburst shower 
Vista of beguiling beauty framed on my window.

My perfect sunset

My perfect sunset…
pastel skies in watercolor
blushing cloud lines,
woven of salmon quivers
and honeydew destinations
curved in mesmeric waves
along a fuchsia horizon
beckoning to me
in periwinkle whispers upon
harmonic echoes
of forever love…
is always you...

On your stardust sprinkled mesmeric meadow,
as I walked my yearning in the diaphanous night,
my heart turned to tinsel studded sky, flashing far.
You looked into transparent me, saw an astral sight
in celestial garden where the stars blossomed for you,
strands of their patina weaved the lattice of my dream.

HOLLYWOOD DREAMER...

Mesmeric pursuits consumed
all his energies:
leaving him only frustrations
to nourish his mangled pride.

Magic dreams
that once fueled his being
slowly decayed
into infectious nightmares:
leaving him to loathe
the coming of each dawn.

Each dawn gradually revealing
naked realities of eroded dreams:
Hollywood's honeycombed
hollow hopes....

Velvety
 Soft and lusciously sweet
   Roses dote on the blush of your lips

Exquisite
 Pearls of dew on a web 
  Spiders envy your silken tresses

Enchanting
 Are the trills of songbirds
  Larks revere your melodious voice

Mesmeric
 A flowing waterfall
  Love cascades within your wistful eyes

The mesmeric sound of wheel on rail

The constant rhythmic rattle.

Watching farms and fields flash past,

Oblivious to others prattle.

A half asleep unblinking stare

It's a sedative sensation,

Broken, when brakes are applied

As we approach the station.

Then back to the jungle,

It's each man for himself.

Jostling, elbows everywhere,

To get your luggage from the shelf....

The thin spiked yellow jeweled crown,
Fits tooth to grove on her head,
A marvel of opulent beauty,
Smokes out a seigneurial aura.  

The garland blossoms on her head,
Sneezing a charm of yellows and reds,
A scenic ooze of mesmeric fragrance,
Matched by her ardent smile.

She wears the crown of my heart,
Rules the throne of my love,
With an unmarked affable affection,
For she has much love to give....

Standing by the rolling sea in one mesmeric night of June
Suffused with the shimmer of the sapphire water serene
I saw the regal ascend with grandeur of the perigee moon 
On waves fell supermoon streaks through stardust screen
The enthralling spectacle of the orb shined as divine boon.

Sky of silk holds you like the mesmeric moon,
I ride on the wings of cloud, trying to reach you,
fly with dormant desire to your shimmering halo,
eye draped with dreams laced by your venomous hue.

You dance the snake ballet in the sky I call mine,
new turquoise trail traced only for me you show.
True sense of love I perceive in aria of your tinsel,
with the music of my lure I will charm you I know.

Blazing blob rises with the scenic sun,
rolls radiant up over ocean’s water line,
dimly dark with night’s fading footprint,
sky on hued horizon turns to tapestry
paints pristine chromatic collage,
long leaves’ silhouette frames idyll image,
mesmeric morn brings a new charming day.

in the glint of dew strewn mesmeric meadow, on the pearl laced 
waves of moon splashed sea I look for rhyme when imageries blow
on mindscape raising dust of emotion turning into storm of afflatus
making me a poet profound

see the miasma
rise from my blooming garden…
birds fly on lyric

Lord bless the nihility
of spirit and entity
'cause my mind is pallid
like a deaf actor
in a silent film
but I'm not craven
just frowned and mortal
antique in the name
of a poetic justice
hesitating no more
sleepwalking in time
one of the nervous eaters
I'm the oxygen moron
joining the armies
of heavenly damned
to luminize the libretto
at vanishing point
wounded and mesmeric
never mind the bollocks
whatever they say
I'll always complain...
