With an ebony plunge in the sea tonight
With the sky in a rage and fit to be tied
emerging opacity sleeps in my eyes-
clouds to be burned at the seams
WIth a storm iron grey on the tip of my tongue
With wings, liquid wings as I take the plunge
emerging with silver flips licking my mouth-
on a night of insatiable hunger....

I'm raindrops away from the sun's orange pop.
You wonder where I stead.
I'm either up or down ,
And neither steam nor ice, 
I'm simply on my own,
although I run with thunder
and command seeds to grow.
I dangle in the wind, hook in the clouds
And anchor in the earth.
I bring clarity to opacity ,
Like this stagnant pool mirror overlaying the earth.
This little drop of yesterday
 can amount to an ocean....

Lives diverge. 
Maybe that's a core rule; 
the child leaves the parent, 
or worse, the parent leaves the child. 
Either way there is emptiness somewhat like a death. 
Whatever the circumstances, the relationship is changed forever. 
Distance is both literal and emotional; voices become cautious 
(She doesn't need to know about that.), opacity arrives.
What were once specifics become generalities. 
And so it goes......

The sun rose, rays travelled your sky unfallen
on your tears corroding your eyes for years.
The opacity blocked the beauty of the world,
your nights never saw the bright days break
until on an autumn dawn I rose in your horizon.
The new sun in your eyes glowed in VIBGYOR,
wiping tears I entered with gleam of nascent joy
in your heart lighted by the sun soaked in love.

OPENING THE MIND'S PETALS

Smoldering life spreads suffocating smoke all over
Clouds the insular mind in pessimistic opacity,
Beauty unseen beyond the myopic vision unclear
Deforms in mind defined by contours of negativity.
From the depth of depression it’s time I recover
The sunk values of life, appreciate their sanctity.
It’s time I leave desolate psychic landscape behind
In flowers of a new garden I open petals of my mind.

My eyes are like your eyes
In front of a sudden facing face,
I didn't remember me
The body of electricity in the water flow.
Smiling, laugh your lips
Reddish color, like the soft sun of the east
The spring was like the sky
I love your flowering face.
Bright waterfall like bhutan hills
In the heart of peace,
Birds tone from the opacity
Sweet echo was in the evening.
You and I in the road
Romance sprinkle, like spring
Mind and heart blowing the weather
Your and my body massage....

Dawn arrived beleaguered
and redrew the peaks 
across a bruised sky that churned
a displeased blue and pewter.

Soon lightening, a brilliant white
with titanium opacity,
crackled with scraunches
and screeches across the horizon.

Rain labored brutishly
against the grueling winds
savaging the already sodden,
soppy, soupy earth.

Multi-dimensional, phantasmagoric,
noctidial nightmare till, conterminally,
the broken sky refashioned itself 
in vivid electric pink and tangerine....
