Ogle of Crickets
Escaping the ogle of crickets
and the cadence of shadows
Spitting the blooms
though picket fences
Neath the moon's buffet
longing to dance
Tie-dyed in knots
escaping the ogle of crickets
and the cadence of shadows
Spitting the blooms
though picket fences
Neath the moon's buffet
longing to dance
Tie-dyed in knots
escaping the ogle of crickets

Endless Bus Stop
In a risk not worth taking
In gear one, I ignited and took the road with some folks
Road too poor with huge bumps
In gear two, I drove into many corners
Too fast over speeding making jumps
Riding unsteadily changing gears non stop
Among the people riding along with me in a Toyota bus who took some turns on the steering wheel
Not one of us know how anyone among us feels We discussed and finally decided to reach an endless bus stop
Beyond any reasonable doubt the costs are higher I went out with my head held high in my heart I know I am a fighter
I'm too tired even before they got me fired
Was too long a fact even back at home
Accelerates over speeding with no horn
Let's be honest I am one of your most reliable drivers in the long run
We don't do things just by flipping coins
We only ride along the long road taking turns
On the wheels, my ink spills on so many papers
Picking points from many soothsayers
Making fortune from natural buyers
In a writing journey I am destined for an endless bus stop
You need a second thought before calling me a liar
My leg full on the throttle for many hours all I can see before me is fire
In a risk not worth taking..

The Celestial Harmonizer!
Oh, immortal mother! Guide me!
Why are you, the purity of my innocence?
Why are you, the essence in my conviction?
And the divine force that lights my path to growth and truth?
Yet why, though blessed to see your radiant light, I must live in the shadows of despair.
Oh, immortal mother! I beg you to apprise!
Why does your heart seem distant from mine?
Do you seek the surrender of my will?
Or is it my soul, which only you command,
That longs to bow at your divine glory!
Oh, immortal mother! Have mercy on me!!
Let me bask in your divine grace and lift the curtains of my ignorance...
And submit my innocent heart, at your lotus feet!!!!
Why are you, the purity of my innocence?
Why are you, the essence in my conviction?
And the divine force that lights my path to growth and truth?
Yet why, though blessed to see your radiant light, I must live in the shadows of despair.
Oh, immortal mother! I beg you to apprise!
Why does your heart seem distant from mine?
Do you seek the surrender of my will?
Or is it my soul, which only you command,

Oh, immortal mother! Have mercy on me!!
Let me bask in your divine grace and lift the curtains of my ignorance...
And submit my innocent heart, at your lotus feet!!!!

The Power of Your Soul!!!
The valley of flowers, will bloom..
When the climate of your perception aligns with your inner being!!!
No one other than you who could accept your soul as it is...
As the power to harness its true will,
Flows within you!!!
Open your eyes and look within, the power of your light...
Piercing the mountain of burden, with beauty and divine!!!
When the climate of your perception aligns with your inner being!!!
No one other than you who could accept your soul as it is...
As the power to harness its true will,
Flows within you!!!
Open your eyes and look within, the power of your light...
Piercing the mountain of burden, with beauty and divine!!!

My Awesome Journey Through the Bermuda Triangle
I once sailed the deep in a ship of dreams
there I heard the ocean's eerie whispers
the swirling waters of the unholy triangle
sailed I so brave and bold in sea of wonders
shimmering tails of a luminous fish
danced around me in a glistening trail
mermaids sang about secrets untold
the krakens wake from legends of old
my vessel in thunderous storms tossed
I never backed out courageous was I
amidst the storm I rode its tail
and here I am to tell my tale.
-not an entry-

Earth Heart
Beneath the world's great surface
far from the sky's embrace.
Two hearts embark on journey's path
in Earth's secret place.
Hand in hand, they venture deep,
where shadows softly fall.
Through subterranean labyrinths,
they boldly forge ahead.
With every turn a new delight by curiosity led.
A voyage to the center of the earth (or heart)
marks a tale both rare and fine.
Rising to the daylight,
hearts enriched and bright.
Memories of their journey spark
like a lantern in the night.
In Earth's deep caverns
love found where shadows bide.
