Where once a fiery crucible 
changed the world 
a coracle 
reclaims its river...

Pure heart reclaims God’s love, in but a blink

Your wounds bleed past tomorrow
 an inconvenient truth
Unsutured blame — till death reclaims
its healing absolute

if my desperation
make its steps
reclaims in surging matter
drop itself in black hole
walk in anhilating step
recharge itself  reborn
From the black hole....

As we age
death
reclaims us
Stealing
our youth
and then our hope

In the ground
where
memories rot
Willing us
nothing
—but the dark

Laws restrict
but can’t constrain
What happens freely
the light reclaims    
     
Cause and effect
together apart
Squaring the circle
—the horse and the cart

(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)...

I only exist for rape
Deceipt to be my light
When God will make it love
and others hate the right

That God will have his vengeance
for others he will own
When love falls by the wayside
and God reclaims his throne...

These gold suffused August afternoons
The luxury of this lazy light
Sweetened beneath peach blossom moons
Wide dawn reclaims the narrow night
As the sun lifts on saffron balloons.

In deep amnesia
The truth forgotten
The future unknown
Entity flounders
Hither and thither

Directionless 
In the darkness
Oblivious
To the true Self

In prayer
Innocence 
Reclaims truth

The way
Inwards

Pure

Unlike an opera Diva,
  a writer hides his age

Scores to bear eternal youth,
  a Contralto dies on stage

Ink reclaims the Land of Oz,
  Dorothy to know

Toto barks—old lyrics march,
  Peter Pan aglow

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)...

Inevitable
Is pain that does stain
Bubbling joyfulness
Cessation reclaims
Bliss in innocence 

Recognition 
Earth life transience
Our stagnation
Ego parlance 

This moment
Here and now
Fulfilment 

Be still 
At peace

Now

               house
       long forgotten
    where whispers still 
                             drift   
        in a tangled forest
 green and lush
                  vines and flowers 
invading
      the rooms  ...
          for nature always
  reclaims what is hers...

Another petal falls, a barren Rose
     As nature reclaims her beauty
Another one to sweet repose
     The universe in fated duty

A Robin sings a farewell verse
     She leaves this world, her passage drawn
With arms to clench and lips to purse
     We say goodbye, now she is gone...

Soft soporific stillness in the night
Reclaims calm upon chaotic daylight.
Serene solitude takes a languid lead,
Reflecting on days’ rhythmic rapid beat.
My close companion, my favorite friend,
With you I wish demanding days to end.
To soothing spell of silence, I commend.

Doing things by the book
Mom awaits a secret garden
Cleansed through application
Years of service completed
Thoroughly laid down, she dreams
Of lofty French cathedrals
Her maiden name retained

Dad reclaims his potency
Unwearied by the years
Gladly rides his motorcycle 
Beyond the frontiers
With his sons by his side
His independence fulfilled...

Laughs
Turn to
Child like smiles
When you’re with me
Smiles filled with joy when we have time alone
Sadness reclaims the smiles when you’re away
Frowns find their way
From my face
To my 
Heart

Its been a while..a while since we got apart !!
But still your voice echoes my heart ??
Its all so different yet so same ...!!
Its still the same picture, but in a different frame....!!
My eyes still reflect a face ,memory reclaims..!!
Shooting for the stars, i still miss the aim ..!! 
 In the end, you lose some and win some!! I guess i just miss the game ??...

Here’s my chores
duty become burden
unless glued as necessary

Skills to handle outer injection
broken balance reclaims future 
lit in beam to disclose
one tiny matter all applause

Named it many as disclosed
left to right, up to down
like duck as quarks
runs in human body

Partition so many 
how matter differs in cell
Short circuit I have

Sour future -Domini-...

He dreams of thin chickens pecking at a dirt floor.
A big brown teapot is stuffed with scraps of poetry;
words waiting to be led out like bawling cattle
into the haze and dust.

As he does every day, he seeks some less worked earth
to plant words into, hopes they will mature into
filler, grout, and spackle to patch up his wormwood.
Mostly they scatter on a dry wind
until night reclaims them....

PARADISE

P alm trees swaying in a tropical breeze
A bsolute beauty intoxicates, and frees me
R adiant smiles on happy children's faces
A s they gaze upon fading rainbows traces
D oubt and fear are no longer paralyzing
I nnocence reclaims it's place, all dreams realizing
S pectacular sunrise and sunset every day
E verlasting life's pleasures, coming our way!

                 beneath 
a green veil
     tree branches
   hold tight a stone-
                   nature reclaims

One last day to suffer,
as silence endures

One new day engendered,
to motion toward

A musical seamstress,
to stitch me back whole

A lyrical consort,
inscribed to behold

Each word as my seed,
 laying fertile the plain

Each phrase lost and orphaned,
my spirit reclaims

That breath once bespoken,
new hope to set free

That voice reawakened
—whose soul unto thee

(The Book Of Prayers: April, 2020)...
