my pathways

Uninhibited

Though animals hide from moon’s bright light,
and the breeze is only gentle
the way the frogs cry with wind chimes
the leaves in the trees moan
and the ring around the moon reddens
I know the poet could not rightly
call this night still

it seems so far apart from the adjacent world of man
but the yellow light of florescent bulbs
is the jaundice of my eyes
and from them I see
fey and imp alike
in the mosquito hawk
who is up late
perplexed as I am
by the fossicking
incongruence

Stalking Eyes [Limerick]

a babe with a pleasing roll
was out on a teasing stroll
headed for a pub
but turned to a club
to slither on a dancing pole

Expoetation (with video)

We mine your clouds
for their silver linings
collect your tears
to irrigate their sorrow,
appropriate your joy
to fulfil a need to ode
we’ll even take your crap
to fertilise our nightmares

poets gather, mine, harness, exploit
we refine and distil it
and return it to you
different,
but still yours

Footsteps

Footsteps approaching me.
I hear loud clanking -
keys or silver, or perhaps an armor?
Or maybe glints of the belated moon
awry on marble of the floor?
Tall windows let the early morning flow.
Silk curtains fly in horizontal lines,
transparent messengers to meet
an early mist
above the lake surrounding my room.

Tears alone well

Tears do well

Tears or a tear

Raises emotions
in yes, don't fear
in any human

A PM like Churchill
the solidest man
in the ''Dark Hour''
had a tear well up

I think the word
tear does 'well'
does well...
and
it glimmers like a diamond...
reminds one of the diamond ring
in the solar eclipse
if you have seen
don't mind my ellipse....

The Great Elm

I

Our eyes once lingered on the ancient tree
Traced to the founders of this place
Who cleared the land for farms and cemeteries,
But spared the giant elm, older than memory,
And made of it the icon of our public space.

That towering mountain of limbs and foliage!
It could be seen as a beacon in all the valley,
Majestic in every season! Every knot in the bark,
Every root that bulged through the mossy soil
Was known in its estate in the center of town.

Biography [Sunku]

Simply
keep writing
your book of life

include
all seasons
bright, grey and green

imprints
shall survive
the morbid ink

Creating a Smile

Untie the tangled tired nerves
let loose in feather, and deeply sleep
as no night patterns are left in caves,
the morning's eyes shall wake and sweep.

Enhale the silence of the dawn
where breeze and birds put down the frown
then share a charity, do not postpone,
let nothing but death put you down

Unlace your spirit, give God a praise
fill up your cup with morning's grace
then race the passion, the golden rays,
I trace a smile now on your face.

Lovely Lady Love

Oh my lovely lady love
your light frock flowing
chills fever frantic visions
of sun drenched paradise

ah, those inviting valleys
and sweet contoured rises!
It’s like a magical dream
to see the shimmering flow

as the sweet silvering mist
of your lightly kissing dress
over such landscape clings ...
how beautiful your body sings!

My one wish is that I recline
amongst such succulent fruit,
and feel more the man
at your sun drenched hand
