Premium MemberA POLITICAL TANGO: A TANKA DUO

1


     Takes two to tango,
     The star and the star's co-star;
     Both just showing off:
     The star tapping out the beat;
     The co-star just following:-


                 2


     The tango is on,
     A political season's
     M and T duo:
     The MIOPOTUS leading,
     And the POTUS following:-

Premium MemberBlack Hole

  Ordinary star
  undergoes explosion 
  exhausting itn fuel.
  Massive star meets implosion :
  Its final destination.

    Sudden collapsing !
    A violent implosion
    of large massive star,
    squeezed by its own gravity 
    resulting the deep Blackhole.

    So strong powerful 
    is Gravitational pull,
    even light fails to
    escape, but is just captured 
    inside and not to reflect.

   Light has gone away:
. It's a magical wonder 
   or starry splendor !
  Strong gravity of black hole 
   stole light that dared to enter.

Premium MemberDelving Into Stars

Lost and so entranced.
Can't help but delve into stars.
Deeply enveloped.
She's fallen into her mind.
Lovestruck with all she finds.

Premium MemberShooting Star in Desert Sky

Vast dome of night sky,
Spark slices through dark, fleeting—
Desert awash in light.
In silence, ancient secrets,
Shadows yield to the bright dance.

Nimble night so shining star
Enjoyable man

baby star heralds
hail dawning gild glimmering
aloof flora wakes
leaves billow parting top wisp
breath orangey-red's farewell

Premium MemberWhen His Eyes Met Mine Again

While drinking from snout,
I then knew without a doubt:
Eyes looking at me.
Suddenly feel uneasy
As our star-crossed gazes meet.

Premium MemberStar Prism Box of Artisan Beads

Bits of what we had
Became unstrung, life then spun
Out of my control.
Then saw goodness of your soul...
Sadly cannot find them all.

Scales always imbalanced
In heart once filled with malice...
Found profound solace
In learnt lessons from unknown
Sources of benevolence.

On this verdant place
Surrounded by blue oceans…
Many billions dwell
Yet on this crowded planet
Only my sunshine rises
