the old crone’s dome boiled
skull scalding, full of trouble and toil
oily face, razorburn neck
my eyes the type to scan
salamander like
darting here to there
wondering where to next
where to next?
I tire of the comfort in
mom’s crockpot, I'm hungry
for another bite of syringes
in the soil
slippery like a leech, i suck
blood because its richer than what
I'm loyal to
needlepoints outnumber the steps
I cant walk a mile in these shoes
another affair with the fairy dust
apothecary that swindles all
all i have left is the
nothing that i have to lose

Under the dim light of the night
The universe
Looks pitch-dark
Deep
Hollow
Strange
It's a kind of feeling
Maybe empty maybe full
Maybe positive maybe negative
The mysterious universe
Blended with the untold fate
Man comes and goes
Finally doesn't know where to attach
Days and night
The world is facing
Slanders,swindles,massacre
We are facing
Virus,floods,denggi
Transparent
Pervasive
Defendless
Where're the answers
We cannot find them during the day
How about at night

Nocturnal visions of the highest order welcome you
Priestess of ancient tribes...
Cast your spell wrap the moon in dark tinsel swindles
Open the gateway dark anime girl ,
and potentize your aerial fields of resonance
Enter into the dragon's shrine, use your potion
to qualm the drake keeper;
Seize your destiny as the stars seize the night
use your wizardry to dye the sun hairs black
allow the purple bruised night to feast on your mood
eglantine kisses dark as blackstrap molasses
falling on you like mellifluous rhythm of tantric drums
Ink your beauty on their bodies morosely caress their wounds
heal and saturate them, with your purple plum heart.

Rejoice not when her financial muscle dwindles
Gout her feet and hand joints assails
A kleptomaniac her little cash swindles
The love of her life from away sails
Rendering her social, financial and metabolic status repulsive
When in your considered view she reeks of misery
Driving your judgment and assessment compulsive
For a victim of usury projecting an appearance so dreary
Her bearing, demeanour and gait
Paint an apologetic figure
Teeming with an imaginary threat
That stands no chance in the rigour
Laughing at debacles the fallen
Surf at church, at home, at work, at social functions
Where accusing fingers swollen
With hubris mete out sanctions
According to gang and clique standards
Demanding ostracization and demonization
At the earliest excuse gang bards
Demand to promote the most evil stigmatization
Despite a river of tears
She pours from her swollen eyes
Battling genuine fears
In the midst of heinous packs of lies
She strives to fight though her stamina at the lowest ebb
Staggers
As she navigates for several hours the web
In search of elusive answers, endeavouring from her aching back to withdraw barbs of daggers.

MY LADY WITH BLUE EYES
I called her out
She turned around
She smiled at me
And swooshes’ her hair to the back
Where was I, out of the world
I reached for her hand, she became shy
She laughed, and looked down
I stood there and looked as the breeze swindles her rainbow dress
I cleared my throat, for the second approach
To woe you lady be mine
From a thousand galaxies we see in the night sky
The billion human beings on planet earth
And all the ladies out there, can I please…
Say no more, she said, as she put her finger on my lips
Slowly she let it roll down to my chin
Then turned back again, biting her nail…
She gave me a glimpse,
For that moment I saw her blue eyes
Sparkling like the morning dew…
To be continued…

A sham,he really is!
He is just a mirage,with acts,illusory.
Tiptoeing in thirst for fame.
He swindles the thoughts of many
and manipulates the notions of fellows.
He is an empty pack,
with no match sticks.
He is a fallow land,
with the regular weeds.
His talks are smooth like the fine wine,
But in the real sense cut the skin
like the blade of a grass.
He poses to be a nature's green hop,
But he's indeed a tassel.
Do you choose to be a sham?
The unreal man that fakes life
till his time of old.

The Seven Deadly Sins
Seven deadly sins:
Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Envy,
Gluttony and Sloth.
No altruism found here;
One-way street to selfishness.
Pride, Greed...self-centered.
All goals directed inward
To please only one...
Taker-Greed grabs, swindles all;
Boaster-Pride...smug, but lonely.
Lust and Gluttony;
Human over-indulgence
Of diverse cravings.
Lust for flesh...Gluttony, food.
Both are selfish abusers.
Anger and Envy
Sad sins of self-indulgence;
They feed each other.
Envy hates...wants what it sees;
Anger hates...wants its own way.
Sloth..non-creator
lives to just breathe, eat, sleep, be.
Only take, no give.
No motion and no action.
To be; means only to be.
Seven deadly sins:
Pride, Greed, Lust, Anger, Envy,
Gluttony and Sloth.
No altruism found here;
One-way street to selfishness.

When you arrive
With a soothing wavy clinch
Of fair autumn blooms
Or velvety pat of marigold
In the early winter dawn
Clad in diamond studded grassland
To meet after the sagacity
Of grass widow
An avalanche in me melts,
Blanketing the hurricane-
Nay, the volcano,
In heart and soul
In the firm flight of falcon
To talon the prey
Or love with equal dexterity and ease.
The clouds in bottle tussle
To kiss the earth struggle
The earth with the heaven mingles
Dissolving the hilltop swindles.
In your approach
The stars in elation smile
With their eyes in glee twinkle
Gliding in ease, the moon awakes
From the blanketing clouds to grin
The uprooted tree with twigs anew
Days of light it counts though few.

Starvation and lust, betrayal of trust,
That nobody swindles is my cherished dream.
Advocacy of war, nations in conflict,
That the world makes peace is my fantasy.
Illiteracy and ignorance, dearth of judgement,
That all be civilised and enlightened is my illusion.
Deprived of rights, entrenched in aversion ,
That all be valued and honoured is my reverie, a vision.
My imagination, a deep aspiration,
Am I dreaming into the day !!!

No bad should be there
So the world will be light
No wrong should be there
So the world will be all right
No con should be there
So the world will be a sprite
No swindles should be there
So the world will be a delight
No sin should be there
So the world will be bright
No hatred should be there
So the world will never fight
No scandal should be there
So the world will be polite
No conflict should be there
So the world may unite
