POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.
Madam Fortune-teller
Smouldering eyes look deep within
Hearts of loving kindness
Or of hatred deadly poison
Close your eyes
If you have secrets
For everything escapes
Through the window to your soul
Or sleeps within
She is a fortune teller, a seer
She looks into a crystal ball
And see your past
Look at your future
If you are not careful
And think she is a fool
You will suffer misfortune
Like stumbling into the ditch
She is no witch
She is as beautiful as she can be
Her pinkish red and brown hair
Makes her look so fair
Her...

I am moving on
Yesterday you said goodbye
I was devastated I cried
I was on my knees
Almost begging you don’t go
I thought I would die
I wanted to die
Without you I was nothing
Today, I stand here
And watch you go by
With that smile on your lips
The full petulant lips
That I used to love to lick
They just look like red leeches
Latched on each other
I watched you swagger
I used to love that
I thought you looked so macho
Now you just look like
A man with squeezed balls
Who can’t walk proper,
What a...

Dear Dan
The night is clear tonight
It seems blushed with moonlight
The stars twinkles
Like adornments on Christmas trees
The wind is gentle
It brushes my cheeks
Tousles my hair
I stand here on the top of the building
All sixteen stories of it
I can see the ground so far below
And the sky so high up there
No matter I choose to look at the night
As I take my first and only flight
I have nothing to leave
I have nothing to bring
I have nothing
For you are gone now
I seek heaven
Yours
Grace

For Hero
Cold the waves that engulfs me
Cold the night that embraces me
I swim these crests so vast
To be with my beloved
To hold her in my arms
To feel her body with mine
To be entwined as one
My beloved is as fair as the moon
Her lips of gentle coral blush
Her dark passionate eyes,
are smouldering brown needs
Her neck is slender unblemished
Leading to her soft white breasts
How I love them
That I should traverse each night
To taste of that delight
Guided by the lovely light
Held by the hands of my beloved ...

Dark Lover in a Camaro
Dark deeds unflawed by remorse
Nothing guilt touched nor sense
Murder of souls, deeded to devils
Or minions of the underworld
Have nothing to it indeed
This is the tale that I will tell
Of such dark deeds as yet untold
The house at the top of the hill
Where two women fair used to dwell
A man did come and stay one day
O but what a handsome man was he
He wooed and won the hearts
Of both the maiden in a row
The eldest during the consummation
Was fed a sleeping potion
It made her sleep all night you see ...

Traveler in the circle of cycles
Within the glade between the worlds
Of what was and what will be
I stand weary against the tree
The linden tree hung heavy with flowers
Pungent falling upon the ground
Some on my hair they did stick
As if to adorn a blushing bride
Even as my mortal coil started to cool
Closing my eyes against the light
So alarming bright yet so expected
Like picking flowers from cracked wall
So strange and yet so familiar
The push of go and the pull of stay
I am weary so I sighed
And yet it propelled me on forwards
To rectify what mistakes I...

I am the Moon
Today when I opened
My Tarot Card
It says the moon
Represents you
So high in the silver sky
Surrounded by the stars
The Moon is numbered eighteen
Always it shows night scene
As moon is of the night
The moon is associated with nature
Mystery and Magic
It affects oceans and all tides
The Moon depicts
A journey into self
A discovery within deep inside
By attaining peace
we will be able to control
our basic bestial nature
It is renewal and immortality
Ingenuity and insanity

Prince Charming
Prince Charming came to see
Rapunzel one day
Saw how pretty she was
And proposed
He wanted her to be his queen
On the throne and in his chambers
In his arms and in his heart
He was smitten with her
She was pretty and awfully smart
Rapunzel could not think properly
She was in a quandary
He was handsome
With his flowing shoulder length hair
His eyes so blue it shamed the sky
He was so handsome
She just wanted to cry
She said no and he asked why
She just shook her head and turn away
And...

A letter from the Mountains
Dear John
The ice is thick the snow is deep
The sky is blue but unmerciful still
Its heated cauldron is so up high
Since we landed on this white wasteland
The jagged peaks around us loom
Like dragon’s teeth planted on the ground
My heart is breaking as I say this
Our son, yours and mine
He breathed his last today
He was broken deep inside
In both his body and his spirit
I weep, no, I wail, I grief
For him our only son
Born of my womb
Consecrated with your love
Our first born
Our beloved
Would that I died in his stead...

Un-amused
I am un-amused
When someone judge others
By what they can see from the outside
An ugly face may have a beautiful soul
I am un-amused
When someone deigned to be called intelligent
Starts calling lesser beings names and think
It’s their God-given right to kick the less enlightened
I am un-amused
With beautiful women
With angelic faces
Hide such bitter disdain for the less attractive
I am un-amused
by politicians who promise
the world to their voters
and leave them behind after the elections
In...

From the dark side of the Moon
Flying in with hooded cape
Billowing with unfelt wind
Black outside with reddish seams
Hugging me with its soft satin
Of dark wishes, needs and desires
I am he, she, it who comes
From the dark side of the moon
I come with a bag of wonders
Like an inverted Santa Claus
For men and women who wish
For more than they do have
To make their wish come true
For dreams to become real
To realise gossamer webs of visions
For you my voluptuous maiden
With pendulous breasts that begs
For needy lustful release ...

My love II
My love for you is as water
For without I would die of thirst
Its like that of food
For without I would be dead
Its like that of air
Without which I would expire
Its like that of earth
Without which I would float away
My love you are my life
My heart beats with yours
Never leave
For I cannot live
With half a heartbeat
My love….
For without I would die of thirst

Without which I would float away
My love you are my life

Never leave
For I cannot live
With half a heartbeat
