I-n the ocean go ashore,

successive, bitter
the beginnings of winter
couple of swallows

leaving their nesting’s
flying further south for warmth
leaving bitter colds

of my love
thru stormy seas
will reach the shores of your,

I loved you 
I loved you 
I loved you 
Like rain in July
rolling across heated streets
Dancing with the trees
With each successive gulp
Of thunder
The Sky breaks free
Leaving no piece of dry land
But like the rain
It came and went 
Leaving only a reminder in the 
Air that once there was a deluge...

Lightly
            caressing
         her soft petals
he melts her tender heart…
           she blooms.

only a direction,
learnt, everywhere,
from different ones.

full education and training,
a bundle of references,
for tasty funs.

but lost a way,
where progress competes,
a successive runs.

arguments, a burning matter,
sharing or non sharing material,
Trust or dis-trust guns.

for settlements,
prosperity and peace,
Otherwise life exists for nones....

Squirrel-

feeder's gone!

Springtime has come;

green lawn is filled with nuts-

buried.

angels sweeping out flakes
lackadaisically

successive shift:
fast and furious

angels on break
storehouse still
to be emptied

funniest sight?
a full-size snowman
drops from the clouds

foreman’s mad
he smiles though
at the cheeriest
curveball snow

angel’s never angry more
than a millisecond
heaven’s work a joy
yesterday, today and forever

Maybe you ignore it.

You as a Tree of Life radiate sparks; 
successive generations of offshoots.
Offshoots of the second, third... generation. 

Sparks of your own greatness 
enlighten successive generations.

Afterwards the primal tree burns and self-destructs
but that beneficial destruction
spreads and radiates over all of them,
sparks alike golden fireworks from heaven....

In a subconscious state of mind
both real and unreal intertwine
and twist each others attributes
into dark Eidolon recruits.
These phantoms perform roles assigned
So well they trick the sleeping mind;
The scripts emerge from deep within
The brain where images begin
To shape and sound then orchestrate
Successive scenes the two conflate
Into involuntary schemes
The conscious human calls his dreams....

It’s a sound that can’t be spelt
A sound not uttered by the svelte 
A sound like when your grandpa knelt
It’s worse with every year you’re dealt

A sound made rising from a chair
When pulling up your underwear
When climbing each successive stair
A sound devoid of savoir faire 

This sound made by the elderly
Is commonplace; apparently 
But lately this sound seems to be
A sound that emanates from me!...

2008

A year full of Wonderful dreams
Where there is a clarion call to answer
How many times called and answered
A year of successive democracies?
How successive?
A transition?
Where everything speaks freedom
From a time long ago in the mid millennium century
The year was 2008 where we were reborn
And we were levitated to another level of development and thought
The year was 2008

Summer’s almost over - that convalescent state
where successive modes of pleasure
were the order of the day.
Now fall commands awakening -
drive simplicity away! The hounds
of hell are yelping that it’s time to banish play.
They cry “forget unscheduled hours 
that owned no share of care - the virtual halls
are scheduled and we’ll soon see you there.”
No apotropaic magic can delay my slated fate - 
to pixelated halls of learning I must soon acclimate....

Through successive phases
Of our existence
Traverse our deeds,
And the salvation by
Deeds becomes destiny,

Deliverance of mankind
Is the karma,
Ploughing the soul
Beautiful or ugly,
Retributive justice done
Through and through,

Morals and ethics,
Obedience and respect,
Honesty and staunch,
Righteous living, dedication ,
The good karma !

Frees of all desires,
Hence all sufferings,
Hence reincarnation,
Final destination
Meeting the absolute,
Through good karma !!...

Music  

Like a raindrops, 
When racing October, smoothly, 
Shaking upon ember pulse 
Ah _ I adore its talk, 
When fear roars into myself and calms

And when the minaret of the village, 
Exclaims my name, 
Like a successive waves, 
On the banks of sorrow

And when my old friends,
Taking a farewell look,
It’s lying down next to me
As a white star, 

Dancing between five sleepless angels 
Upon endless greenery land,
Playing grief tunes; the tunes of the end...

Amphorae, beautifully crafted,
Delicate, exquisite, fire-glazed, 
Heated in jumbo kilns,
Lovely molded necks, 
Opaque pigments, 
Quartzite residue- 
Symbolic, timeless, utilitarian
Valued- with xanthic yellow zirconium
