Villain

I'm going to burn
and I'm going to bleed,
and I have no one to blame
but myself.

If this seems simple to you
in your way of black and white,
know that my way
of mud and smokey windows
doesn't make it easier.

I'm drowning.
I need you
and I don't know how to call for you.
There are moments I absolutely can't stand you,
but it's with you I can't live without.

Blessings (Metaphor WS #4)

May I offer you the warm hug of the sunlight
to be the cradle of the hopes that you seek?
Let the wind carry my love to you tonight
to be your light when the face of fate is bleak.

The Kerchief

Writing this letter with borrowed inks
In umbrageous hues of lonely evenings
Don't you read it at night thinking it's a dream of norm
As dreams often disappear with the advent of dawn

Sleep has lost its path today
Put out the moon if you can
On the way grab some clouds
Sow a warm blanket if you can

You aren't there yet here somewhere
Fogging up my eyes like breath on a mirror
My mind has locked its doors from the inside
And you keep knocking as a thought from the outside

LA RACHELLE

drunk is the moon...the poisoned stars drawn to their lagoon
the lager cup
the last smiles
before we touched down
I should have known
what was up

into the seamless cold
and veins of snow crawling
on the tarmacs face
like a vision
lost in the steam
and traffic and these lights

burning amber yellow
green and red
you were a voyage
across the rivers of
my damned

ON AN EVENING WALK

I, unsteady, walk a hardwood ridge
in a cool early autumn wind
which has helped decreasing sunlight
begin to paint worn summer leaves.

As has become reality these days
I am alone while on this trek
as I search and slowly scout
for coming season among other things.

For a moment a retreating cloud,
a last remnant of past night's rain,
darkens both the woods and mood
soon it releases the sun
but not my brood.

Blood Moon's ECLIPSE

Blood Moon's ECLIPSE

Blood Moon's snaps
from
NORTH AMERICA

It's nearly total eclipse
in in the
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE

at 10.00 PM 27th Sep 2015
Western Timings

Please see the latest snaps....
On GOOGLE

Don't ascribe any myths ....
it's just a normal phenomenon

it takes place once
after every 18 years
has no bearing
on normal humanity
I shall never again see it!

Such occurrences
are but natural

dead air

cool your jets
at the airport
try not to smile or frown

no joking
at the check in
they'll use your gag to hold you down

did you pack
your pants yourself sir?
how long are you in town?

if you have to look
at the airport
make sure it's at the ground

Be Your Poetry (Hiding in Metaphor) # 4

Be the character
you want to be,
let your words
speak out loudly,
chant with rhythms
your melody
with rhyming verses
or of rhyme's free,

be yourself
be your poetry.

Night's Shrines

Outside, Night cloaks Time, becoming limitless.
His shadows spread. His quest begins.
In search of strength, Night seduces Clarity.

Whispering lovely tales,
Past tragedies resurface with color.
Hues of romance. Hues of lust.
Week-knees and fluttering critters.
Her memories mumbling uncertainties.
Their time.
Them...

Jayne

You're the light
in my eyes.
You're the beauty
of a baby's smile.

You paint a world
of paradise,
the colours that lit
my night.

You show me that you're steel,
you will never ever kneel.
No matter how you feel,
believe that you can heal.

You know you are not alone.
Let my love guide you home.
'cos this is what friends are for!
this is what friends are for!
