Your hatred has seeped
into my soul, now condemned
by ancient curses
falling venom from your lips
wherein your evil truth lies
seek no hope for me
I am too weak to fight on
your lies are too much
Raspberry essence
On crushed ice, the sun bled
Into the clouds
Gliding on thermals
A trapeze artist's envy
Eagles in the sky
Impeccably tuned
Strings of a violin
Bowed to perfection
Woodpecker's echoes
A rhythmic plaintiveness
Spring day stillness
Dripping water
Frozen into icicles
Thoughts trapped in flight
The wind swirl sends dust
Into spirals, creating
A devils horn
From its quiver, the
moon sends silver arrows
Into the sea
through thasher vortex
the cupped world
the cracked shelter
ran the wild
fat lipped
and blister brokened
like villager papers
notes knocked form the power
house
the gardens livid
and lush
rising in the moons tide
the crawling liquid salt flats
an immersion
sweet at the ankles
the lights
fragrant
with their starsmoke
garish and sizzling
Dream
Simple words
came to me
in my dream
what are you doing?
dreaming obviously
Statement of fact won't bring accomplishment
dream aloud
speak aloud
yell
to the whole world do tell
I have been dreaming from day one
since I was born
many dawns have gone
but dreams still
make me come along!
loved
How I envy such loves I hear of today
Why my vicarious warmth in my thoughts.
You don’t give a thought to what’s in my head.
I have heard it all before, and practiced it.
Sex, striving to be there for a while.
Up and down an act, that portrays my life
Did I commit my feelings or just pass by
Many times I steered a path of emptiness

Birth and death...
Are the verse and obverse faces of the same coin...
at times famous...
at times infamous...
at times above the clouds...
at times in the clouds...
but we all think
they live in cloud nine at times...
yet it isn't so
we all know
time burns all at some point of time
we have to bear the brunt of human minds
we live in glory, grief and agony
without anyone else knowing,
Hunching she cried, it fell on deaf ears.
anguish and agony feed on her tears.
She stops,
Holds her breath and wished she was free,
Softly she whispers,
why daddy,
Why me.
Half muttered truths,
Well spoken lies,
She sees through his rouse,
She knows this disguise.
you be a good girl,
Mommy said its alright,
I spoke to her in heaven,
She said tonight was the night.
Crying now harder she drops to her knees,
Begs anyone listening for forgiveness,
As unwillingness starts to please.
I asked if you would be so kind, so many years ago,
to walk beside me on this path where ever it might go
little thinking you'd say yes to me, a man of little means,
who'd been for years in love with you at least since my teens.
Then forty fleeting years ago I watched you coming down the aisle
and seeing you in that white gown gave little choice except to smile.
Then there in front of all those folks, both friends and family
we promised we would love each other for eternity.
We all fade away
I am fading away from each one of you
as I gradually remove each one
who have no interaction
but for their own praise
makes me a damn craze
I continue to post comments
they hardly comment
gradually I shall too just glimmer
in the dusk of the distant horizon
be not amazed
I shall soon apparition
into a glimpse in the darkness
just see me merge away...
as you precede
my lighted pathway
till then have a good day
