Guest at the Gate: Bruno
It was monsoon night, around eight
I heard a 'Ddhap' sound on the gate
Was a bit unusual,
Can't be man,
May be some animal
Scared inside, made myself to find
Saw a hungry and sickly dog, behind
Opened the gate and got him to shed
Offered some milk and bread
He wagged his tail and done with the meal
Expression in his eyes were easy to feel
He sneaked to the corner, slept for night
Next few weeks, he was out of sight
One winter day, he rushed into my garage
Scared to death and deprived of courage
Chased and...

Imperial Bengal Tiger
Rows in a forest of birch wood
creating an interesting mood
what I’m seeing is truly a wonder
a beauty beyond the blue yonder
morning sun keeps shining through
a charming dawn, the sky so blue
yet I travel to a world I never knew seeking a slender beauty and that’s just true
just for a short little glimpse
the long miles I’m willing to trek
braving past the trees with limps
then comes the shores of shipwreck
pause just to pleasantly ponder
when there’s rain and thunder
this nature, a beast to surrender ...

Writhe
Blush of midnight sun
burned and bloomed
under her loving gaze
a statuesque Rembrandt
outlined shadows define
forms of lust, wagging tongue
her form, rose as ethereal goddess
lit by kiss and glittering stars
where every arch accentuated looms
strength within beauty supersedes all
under gold chains cradling naked breast
a feathered foot of slim demure
Their enrapt nature twist like snakes
writhing now by firelight
two tongues wrestle, lush and mighty
flames glow to pearl-set...

Abandoned Bruno : Tale of an abandoned dog
He loved me like his son
He brought me toys and fun
He used to talk to me
Play and run with me
His bike would drive me crazy
Life was full of sport and buzy
His kids were friends to me
They cared and fought for me
Last monsoon I caught some fever
My body was shaking with quiver
Doc told l was almost dead
He spent whole night near my head
One day I overheard,
We all are leaving soon
Everyone was on the moon
I heard him talking to mistress
I sensed some signs of distress
Finally, the day arrived ...
He brought me toys and fun
He used to talk to me
Play and run with me
His bike would drive me crazy
Life was full of sport and buzy
His kids were friends to me
They cared and fought for me
Last monsoon I caught some fever
My body was shaking with quiver
Doc told l was almost dead
He spent whole night near my head
One day I overheard,
We all are leaving soon
Everyone was on the moon
I heard him talking to mistress
I sensed some signs of distress
Finally, the day arrived ...

Fair Peacock
Flamboyantly clad,
Feathers arranged in an astonishing
array of colours,
distinctively seen,
brightest of all,
and uniquely adorned for
a century's wedlock in
a bird's haven.
That is I, the Peacock.
The angel with elegance that you
crave for.
An epitome of standards coveted by
models fair.
Endowed by nature with neither
mascara nor lipstick.
But having features elusive that
pageants in a lifetime ache for.

Fido the Fox Poo Fetishist
My dog rolled in fox poo
that dumb, dirty mutt
he smeared his left side
in the shit from its butt
I showered him twice
and that stench hasn't budged
now the house stinks of wild scat
well, his walk's now begrudged!
i've sent my old man
to the shops to get bleach
this soap isn't working
i got a lesson to teach
so he really smelled piney
when i'd finished his shower
but he'll smell just like fox poo
in nigh on an hour
that dumb, dirty mutt
he smeared his left side
in the shit from its butt
I showered him twice
and that stench hasn't budged
now the house stinks of wild scat
well, his walk's now begrudged!
i've sent my old man

The Mouse at 900 Bernard St.
The mouse,
Is but a simple creature, hoping to find his next meal,
Or perhaps a mate, sometimes.
His nose is sensitive, and he feels
The hot air of the sunny spots between the alley walls
And the cool pungency of the litter and trash
And he fondly remembers the little bit of bread that dropped
Torn, by gravity, from the morning sandwich a busy busy
Somebody had been eating on her way to work.
And he's at the apartment entrance,
This little building that housed about twelve people, now soon to be demolished, ...

Front Yard
Tonight I lie under fireflies—
the pre-summer warmth
igniting their brief adult life
Crickets bow-drilling legs
flame auditory mating signals
Deafening cicada chorus
emerging from catacombs
of an earthen temple
Bat frequency
bouncing off prey—
distant thunder clearing its throat
amid a flash of heat
This is how I want to go out:
one swoop—an inferno
of burn; a falling star ...

Fireflies
Fireflies are dots of light
Gaily floating in the night
They don’t bother
They don’t cry
Simply happy fireflies
It seems I notice, with such beauty
Trapped in jars.. no longer moving
Gaily floating in the night
They don’t bother
They don’t cry
Simply happy fireflies
It seems I notice, with such beauty
Trapped in jars.. no longer moving

Desert Dragon
some people call him ‘the monster’ yeah
some call him the gangster of love
some people call him Heloderm
cause he reeks
of the pompatus
of love
awesome living fossil
been around since the Miocene
too old to rock and roll too young to die
he’s a true stud
underground rock star
orange and black skin like beaded leather
some people call him Heloderm
if you see him
you’re one of the lucky few
mostly subterranean fellow
generally pretty mellow not a lot of flash
but a trunk...

The Escape Velocity Of A Rorschach Sunset
I.
As the fiery half-eaten orb
melts farther into the mountains,
the heart shudders in astonished jolts.
A gilded feast of morphing shadows tempts
the pattern-hungry brain to arrange
dozens of weather-beaten points
into monstrous faces of jagged rock.
Vectoring like a maniacal dragonfly
the eyes construct (and deconstruct)
tensile bridges of silken meaning.
The shifting boundary of the rugged terrain
slips in and out of focus;
the cerebral cortex strains
like an under-powered microscope
scanning for a...

Scaredy Cat
With tall pointy ears
And a lop-sided smile
And whiskers that seemed
To stretch for a mile
And a soft fluffy tail
With long big feet
That could pound the ground
With a regular beat
It could hop for miles
Or burrow deep down
And get easily afraid
At Mister Fox Brown
Of ferrets, or guns
And dogs, and nets
Or tremble with fear
When taken to the vets
Or feelings of discomfort
Of magicians with hats
But most of all
Being eaten by big furry cats!
And a lop-sided smile
And whiskers that seemed
To stretch for a mile
And a soft fluffy tail
With long big feet
That could pound the ground
With a regular beat
It could hop for miles
Or burrow deep down
And get easily afraid
At Mister Fox Brown
Of ferrets, or guns
And dogs, and nets
Or tremble with fear
When taken to the vets
Or feelings of discomfort
Of magicians with hats
But most of all
Being eaten by big furry cats!
