Lightning and torrential rain
Washing the desert...

mountains, blocked by clouds
winter monsoons now return
a green desert spring...

keep correct account
hope you do not overlook
dull cloudy monsoons

Short happy curls
dewy from the rain
begging for your fingers
to tangle in them again...

Monsoons of cool rain,
like manna from God, deluge 
the sun-parched jungles....

Like manna, monsoons
deluge the sun-parched jungles 
with torrents of rain. ...

Monsoons reappear
This time the rain is cleansing
It is cool and fresh
Reinventing me
Washing my spirit and soul...

salty tang...
monsoons shriek and whip
rough seas 


cuckoo calls
from piney woods...
fragile May

heavy dew
clings to the branches--
monsoon season

monsoons rain
or 
summers heat - 
your love is the reason
that i breathe

tell me dear
what is sweet
is that U
or 
ur heartbeat....

Days to night
Nights to day

Flowers Bloom
And petals fall

The sun does rise
As the monsoons fall

Twists and turns
the roads we travel

I smiled
The mysteries unraveled...

faith wanes
questions plague
clouds form
monsoons rain

lightning flash
thunder cracks
constant turmoil
wounds rehashed

sun shines
moon glows
ceiling stars
after the storm...

This is today's news:
A sinkhole swallowed a man whole
as the earth yawned

in the ancient land
of monsoons and man-of-wars
after the waters

ceased. One was portrayed as 
man suddenly gone, captured
live for us to see....

from the highest peak
to the low, cool valley below
stretched out as far as I can see
I ride the range of your love

tumbleweeds blow in the desert wind
monsoons come with lightning and thunder
but consistency and a gentleness
fence in the boundaries of my heart...

Rescued on a rubber boat
A toy ship built for one
Not meant to save you from
Driving downpours and malicious monsoons
Solely a transportation device
From one heart to another
The tune of the obsessive ocean
Knocks me out, and I’m floating to the shore
Half mast, half passed...

She greeted him with the dryness of the desert and he brought her to the ocean

Rich love burned hot between their hands

Melting them into their earths

His tides soothe her bodies drying in the sun

More of him is more of her

He gave her monsoons and she furnished him shells

Eternal energies...

clear   bright   cloudless   sky 
 fallow  fields  look   up   for   rain 
farmer's  tears   quench   soil 
 hungry  stomachs,  and  dashed hopes
the rope's  redemption  beckons

~12 Jul 2016~

Note: My heart bleeds for the Indian farmers who commit suicide in desperation due to failed monsoons....

if you believe in miracles
dreams that can come true
if you believe in Heaven
I'm waiting here for you

if you believe in wonder
spring that brings monsoons
if you believe angels protect you
I'm waiting here for you

if you believe in love songs
dancing a long, slow waltz
if you believe what is in my heart
I'm waiting here for you...

In our family;
Like bunch of a key;
Where we said,
Tradition is must;
Debates went about,
Cutting down a palm tree;
Whose fruits fell,
On our tiled-roofs;
Left them leaking,
Through many monsoons;
Elders said no for long,
All, in leakages, did prong;
It's, then, the youngsters stood together,
Cut it down and saved the houses dear...!...

A southwest sky
Blue and clear
Wishing for storm clouds
To reappear

The desert monsoon
That gives us life
Deafening thunder and
Lightning strikes

A month of rain
Cool and clean
Replenishing all
Making the desert green

The washes fill
And overflow
Hazardous driving
We’ve come to know

I love the monsoons
And the month of rain
It doesn’t last long
In this terrain...

The ear testing people in trouble,
On their desks making hearing evaluations,
With the aid of many instruments,
Inviting sound waves one after one like Tsunami-
Tang,ting,tung tones,
Giving their time hurry,
Taking our's free,
Without learning the know how,
From the flying Mosquitos-
The top hearing evaluators on the job,
In seconds and free of charge,
In regular intervals of changing monsoons!...

You are so complex, so twisted beautiful,
I suppose.
You are everything I am not also something
I should not have.

I can hear your voice murmuring in the
monsoons.
I see you sway the coconut trees,
whipping the night sky.

I lift my fuchsia sari and dance in the moist
fresh earth.
Play no music
speak no words.

Your face greets my misty eyes.
You are everything I am not also
something I should not have....

if I loved you...
more than the stars
more than the moon
more than the monsoons
would this be enough?

if I loved you...
more than luggage
more than travel
more than Scrabble
would this suffice?

if I loved you...
more than poetry
more than lyric
more than haiku
would this do?

how much love does it take?
how much feeling within?
how much of my heart...
if it is better
to give than receive
why not give yours
to me?...

" O' Whale ... A Fish Story ... "




The Biggest, Exclamatory Interjection, Used In The Ocean
The Phrase That Holds Many A Gigantic Wave's Commotion


It's Often Spoken In:   Hurricanes, Monsoons or Tsunamis
But Its Not:   Oh My!  Look Out!  or  See!  or  Ooou-Weee!


It's  " Well! "   -  Says Every Little Fish of The Sea ...

(Just Ask: Finding Nemo - he he he)

I can smell the sulpher
electricity in the air
rain rat-a-tats on my roof
a welcome sound to hear

we sit on the screened porch
as the raindrops trickle down
lightning across the sky
thunder crashes in the clouds

I love this time of year
the monsoons a soothing sound
saguaro drinking in moisture
my plants happy in the ground

it will rain all night
a red dawn will appear
freshness in the morning
when the monsoon has disappeared...
