kissing the green earth....

Warbles with the teen warbler

Distant volcano vents bedim 
the ever-changing azure welkin 
Drunk off demons carousing amuck 
in my metaphysical crepuscule...

A shared nature scheme—
Tree and sky color madness
On phantasm cheeks—
Still leaves fall in silk whispers
Grasp for the sun's set on me....

HEAVEN'S ABOVE
As long as I see the sky-
                                          the welkin resides in my weather eye

The welkin who had been clear
Suddenly burst into tears
And a crashing was heard
Then a light, as someone searched 
For something we can't figure from here...

Little butterfly, 
Please take me along with you, 
Let me kiss the wide welkin.

Crawl up, tickling me, 
Dip and brush my pale fingers, 
In your marmalade palette.

Pink clouds with feint zigzag veins
craft  a stunning desert maid’s 
muse in mirror swivel guise
as she pondered in set pose
how welkin palettes loiter 
when a tense eerie inkling 
sighs “I’m this windblown notion”...

The night is asleep with its lamp lit
on the pillow of cottoned clouds
wrapped in sheet of vast welkin
and the breeze running its
fingers through its mane
while crystal stars
like empires
guarding
her.

Lover of the howling derecho 
on the vast welkin shore,
Carrying the aromatic mists 
of sweetest petrichor;
How it strikes! as the willowy blade
of an ambrosial steel sword,
Into the resting sheath
of the game's flooded board....

glow bugs in eerie 
summer marshes add twilight 
sparkle to ink blot
welkin, fireflies red heart flash
deadly nightshade clicks scare bats

The tiny 
lamp's bulb is frosted: windows
are caked

with minute 
designs, not one of which the scheme
of a fist-

shaped heart,
beating like dragon-fly wings
within its life-

span of a day..
wings the tints of a fairy-
tale welkin....

I am blue : but not new
I am white : sometimes bright
I am red : and then delight
I am yellow : often mellow
I am marine : but not green
I am light : but not at night
I am black : when sun ,I lack
I am grey : who but I
Sees in , both night and day

Cerulean welkin milieu in
The billows lies a citadel 
That is the abode of a
Prince and his vast kingdom 
Waiting patiently 
For his princess
Charming heart
For aye
Tied

grey clouds
like shrouds

hover
cover

wind speed
like steed

fright'ning
lightning

thunder
sunder

cryin'
welkin

raindrops
fat plops

muddles
puddles

pit pat
rhythm that

awakes
damp shakes

earth drenched
thirst quenched

God's free
AC

Moth and mist kiss her lips
her loneliness from the dark dew
And how she grips nomadic clouds
As if that was her only foist.


I ache for their sighs and songs
her strong want to embrace the welkin
But when she reached the tempest
It hugs her deeper than my embrace.

The crimson coloured sky, 
Where sun appears to be a drop of saffron paint in water,
Unfurling its rays to embosom the horizon.
The first star visible in the welkin,
Marking the moment of the dawn.
The moon appears vague,
and the earthlings return to their homes
This panorama from my window is ineffable,
And I captured it in my eyes forever....

At Otter Lake, whilst welkin starry clear,
A ghostly wail bruits eerily despair,
And eyes appear alit like embers near,
At Otter Lake.

Avaunt, the trappers pray, bedim thy glare;
In sooth, thy mourning grieves a bygone year,
From earthly bourn, ascend to angels care.

Arose a zephyr, thick as bloodied air,
And shrieking withered every soul with fear,
To where a man durst lay his footsteps there,
At Otter Lake....

I'll work 'n live in this vast void
I'll travail, see thee sweat drop to crust
I'll n't broaden my wealth and neither my reputation
But i'll tread the unflick'rd venomous dungeons
Quintessential soulmates i'll drill therein
And our friendship shall spring eternal
My acumenical pschye engraved within
In breeds a heroic contention in soul
I'll stress the bible,fountain to wit right
So as when astrenous blow of horn roks at doom
My stand in the welkin haven rests secure...

In stellar skies the nights bestow
our firmament’s majestic show
with portraits of creations past
that stretch into the heavens vast
surpassing Michelangelo.

We yearn this welkin world to know
through avid searching to and fro
and seek a sculpted cosmic cast
in stellar skies.

Withal, the astral art aglow
o’erspread above in grand tableau
to awe wide-eyed enthusiast
shall mortal earthly life outlast,
as goes the great galactic flow
in stellar skies…
