Lemons and Life

...Of all the songs

The tuneless one,
Less subtlety.

More toneless rasp

A star
In morning's...

with soft strings of saffron and golden shine,

O in our exclusive love den,
But most of such dreams—nine of ten,

Hurts the most

...“What hurts the most was being close,”
remembering us as we were,
though I'm not feeling the sage moon,
nor pearl raindrops that kissed my soul.

Now I waltz to tuneless songs as~

Starlit Symphony

...I still remember 
how you were
there in the dark,
holding my 
bleeding heart.
Whilst I wandered,
sleepless under
soundless spheres.

Now I search
for your starlit
symphony

She snuggles in the forest where the trees grow tall and dense
A gravelled path runs by her so the mailman can deliver
But nothing gets del...

Though they are not gold
So many secrets they enfold
Within the confines of their cold
You will not resist them.

The Pretty Ones shine

Some purists sure get praised as Gandhian,
Yet, crass nevertheless is no more crime,
Old values are hailed may be in heaven.

The greying wooden bench upon which
I sit is still slightly damp from last
Night's rain, but was mostly
Sheltered by the brick arch...
