Before the earth was ready.

with deafening sound--
dead telephone


mighty oaks
uprooted now--
traffic jam


a dancing crow
on a broken scarecrow--

No relationship

Would ever flourish in the garden 

Of bliss


Unless 


The weed of egoism is 

Uprooted from the pristine soil 

Of love!

FLOWERS DIDN'T BLOOM

Partitioned country’s ground lost
Uprooted, we drifted unwanted
Searching alien land for rehab,
Grew frail roots
But flowers didn’t bloom.

Your shadow is limp and scraggly. 

When you try to stand from your bed- 

You almost topple.

As if you’ve been uprooted. 

Princess…

Let us bring you your food. 

So you do not have to wander like an alley cat....

 Nocturnal clear skies secluded
 Antique rose blizzards included
 Winters Emerald black canvas alluded

help me I scream.
Unanswered I run.
The sky ablaze.
My life torn.
Uprooted.
Ash all around.
To my knees I fall.
My cries unheard. 
The world ablaze.
Around me I see.
Not fire but hate.
Not ash but greed.
Let it burn.
I scream....

the contemporary
             interpreted
deconstructed

the deep rooted rapport 
between two hearts 
has been uprooted  
bring about decay 
bring forth death

the flower has gone 
the field has been destroyed 
the field once filled 
with such beauty is now 
fill with such ugliness...

Version 1


    wind-uprooted trees

lie huddled on the ground

      he hones his axe


Version 2


      wind-uprooted trees

lie on the ground - impassive

         he hones his axe

It is one of those windy Kansas days
Felled oak trees roll along the country roads
Their roots are scraped and torn like hopscotch knees
They are as gnarled now as skeins of worn-out yarn
Do you hear them crying as they are being uprooted and blown?
I do....

A relationship reminds me of a flower 
Gets planted and starts to grow
It gets fed with hurt, pain, deceit and more
Starts to wilt and it shows

It doesn't get watered with honesty, trust each day
It becomes ugly and starts to die
Gets uprooted and thrown away...

Tsunami

People watching
Small waves rolling,
Sea birds chatter
Seeking shelter,
Tsunami approaching
Island sanctuary.

People fleeing
Water smashing,
Buildings leveled
Trees uprooted,
Bodies floating
Out to sea.

Tsunami!
Survivors
Counting
Blessings....

The dam was destroyed and the people fled...
So the wind goes...
The ship was lost by the conquering sea...
As the waves suddenly rose...
Trees were uprooted; houses turned to dust...
As the bodies decompose...
My life blown away in a single breath,
and so the wind goes......

In the frozen night, a sigh was heard,
today I killed myself.
I uprooted my soul
and threw it away in the dark.
some stray dogs bit him mercilessly.
it was tasteless, the feelings had consumed it.
I killed myself and had no regrets,
not even when my lips were dripping love....
