Of fading culture,language lost to time,
To bed I went;in troubled thought I slept,
And dreamt,I walked a lonely barren clime.
A maiden then appeared,in garments old,
upon a dusty path she walked alone.
I...

A crime the February tongue —
In her box I'm open this time;
She alone melts chocolate eyes —
Eyes — camouflaged red ribbons, blunt,
Ever stained by glimpsing her love —
And in my dream, her dreams still glide;
Though...

Still, in my dreams, I relive it again.
We initialled a love heart in the...

A Bright Star in the Black NightAnd Skadi had her way much snow today
Imparted volunteer job hopes soar high.
Each Thor’s day , a shining star in a black sky
Orange in my throat and gob smacked, what to say?
And never...

Sonnet 3: An ode to my goddessOnce, legend told of Venus, born from foam,
Her charm extolled in tales and poetry.
Yet even she, though praised all over Rome,
Would feel eclipsed if she set eyes on thee.
Her lips, though soft, could never speak...

BilocationBoth caged in form and yet at all times free,
nothing can be more wonderful than that,
playing cricket where we both bowl and bat,
breezing through earth life, blissful and carefree,
since we got our head and heart...

Perfect In Every Way
She's like the essence of a coral rose
a latent bloomer with a heart of gold
And when she speaks to me in prose
deep inside, she opens doors of old
Rosy cheeked and full...

In the wee small hours
All through the dark night
When the world is so quiet
I will touch you and hold you
In the wee small hours
I remember each touch
When I am with you
But the times I remember are
In the wee...

His Gleaming EyesHis gleaming eyes are blue, like oceans vast;
They study me with love and tender care;
They tell a tale of trials long since passed,
And dream of going where most wouldn’t dare.
His heart makes music, like the...

No Cars
Glistening in popcorn yellow
or wearing a fire engine glow;
They may hold a shade of status
but that’s not all there is to us;

and never fear if we’re fireproof;
Auto repairs...

Ending fear“Wisdom is not enough to calm your fears”
The knowledge we gain, fails to cleanse soul’s stain,
though thoughts help us to navigate life’s maze
but fears and desires yet remain heart’s chain,
until the day we turn inward...

Bitter SweetLate at night when I’m alone in my bed.
A soft feather pillow under my head.

when we were together and life was sweet.
We meet at a wedding, we dance all...
