No end to desires
...Until seen, just to see be the wish, which

The Day
...This is the day
We break the bread
Cup full of wine
To numb the head
This is the day
When truth reveals
The veil of lies
A mind conceals

The immense, cold voids
,among the slender, patient buds,
Received hollow seeds?

And there you were

Who will bell the cat?
No use with a chat
Don't embrace combat

Sonnet for a star
...How can I express my thanks from afar?
Lately, drove past me, smiling and waving,
In such past times, he was my guiding star,
Treasuted image of him I am saving.

speeding off to make a new track
with the tools that one might need to hack a trail.
A pair of loppers for the limbs
and for the ones that need more vim,

I am on a superfast train
Listening to the soothing refrain,
Of the wheels on the railway track
Clickety clack, clickety clack.
Verdant vistas on either side,
