Regrets

Wandering along a lifeless road
cloaked by pashima of  acid night,
a metal sky cuts treetops in half
biting her skin beneath pale stars---

tears rush like nickel-blue of isolation
as feet dig cemented steps
to carry heart's burden
past windows of fading regrets.

Seafarer

Like an endless curve  I have reached the bend
Of my destiny to an atmosphere,
Above the horizon, my trails ascend.

Creatures of water swerving their tails,
Galleons roll, cruises of Atlantis
Along the foams, brave the olden fables.

The evening cloudline, glimmering so bright,
My final pilgrimage, the blackest  sea;
To the ledge of  the isle, a glorious light.

In episodes, I have seen the view of life,
A seafarer hunted by brazen tides,
Crossing again on the crest that abides.

Peaceful wavelets daring my calm inside,
Confronting the ocean of a dark ride.

The Lake

still is the lake

between two meadows---

owl hoots

Summer

Summer

Red lips tattooed

With passion in flames

Moaning of some rare surrender.

Opened buds parting for two souls on fire,

crawling on tanned flesh in pure heat

of sweetened abandon.

Wildflower bleeds

Summer.

Above the Sky

I peep above sky
at heavenly trimmings---
lifting up my breaths

Slipping Into Oblivion

I brave the winds to await summer
And long for days when love duly appears,
Long enough till daylights erupt
Into a sizzle of wistful rendezvous--
While along the pier, a boat-ship far
Moves through me with warm delight.
Preparing the foil of roses fresh,
My hand trembles as the sail nears
That tresses moisten from the wait,
As passengers alight from the door;
Still, your silhouette becomes a haze,
Enough for this heart to fade in the night
Slipping into oblivion, a moment erased
By a dream thinning as summer weeps.

Crystal Flakes

crystal flakes

 hang on pine’s branches…

torn leaves fall

End of the World

They say the end is coming.

A prophecy,

Or falsehood?

Handwritten

To weave a word, a fabric of thought,
Each glimpse of bluish image caught.
Sweet tinge of orange scent, half gone
Delicately knitted in flowing, yellowing song.
Old letters laced now in sepia and white,
Each silent sound,  grayness of  dusk takes flight.
