night and day
Day & Night
It was still dark morning when I left
the nightclub, a place where one can
be sure not to meet reality
I saw a river of people coming out of
the subway filling streets with heavy
steps and murmur
as daylight came, neon light shivered
and became ugly words on buildings
reality had blinded them
At the end of the day, as night sunk
like a blanket on towns, people were
going home from workplaces
The neon light came back on tell
a story of an alternative where all
is fake, like Ronaldo's scoring...

storm
Storm
The waves in the storm raged Pacific Ocean waves became
deep ravines and tall mountains; in the binoculars, I saw
an American hangar ship, its massive deck was glistering iron
swept of all human activities, this was not a day for wars
The bulk vessel was returning from Japan, where a cargo of
scrap iron had been unloaded, so she was not so heavy in
the water; a good thing when she ploughed deep down
a watery valley, and the sea high above the ship, came
crashing down, but up she came quivering like a wet dog
As she climbed...

Realizations & Revelations
Hard steel isn’t the only way to forge.
I can squeeze softness,
and smile in the mirror.
This well traveled road
doesn’t bode well with me.
Slowly learning to be genuinely
Guinness mistress,
bar maid with the tits spilling out.
More, hungry, milquetoast filling out
the proper paperwork.
It’s different than it seems,
like a dairy diary,
full of creams.
Eat me, and grow taller, wet,
drink me, and grow smaller, yet.
I can squeeze softness,
and smile in the mirror.
This well traveled road
doesn’t bode well with me.
Slowly learning to be genuinely
Guinness mistress,
bar maid with the tits spilling out.
More, hungry, milquetoast filling out
the proper paperwork.
It’s different than it seems,
like a dairy diary,
full of creams.
Eat me, and grow taller, wet,
drink me, and grow smaller, yet.

Water shortage
In the deepest valley where the winter is short
summers long, sheep come home for safety
of bears and wolves, he bought an old house.
From a two hundred years house, a cane roof sprung
splendid isolation he lived the seasons fair.
Unknow to him and other dwellers of this Paradise
plans afoot to make the valley into a water reservoir
filling it with water to serve the city far away.
This ancient village, built stone by stone, drowned.
No, the dam didn’t burst lack of rain made it dry.
It was an eerie sight to see his...

the flash
The Flash
When the is thunder and lightning fall to earth
let us call the lightning “Flash” when hitting the ocean
it does not die but sinks to the sea like a bubble
waiting in a cataleptic slumber.
When the call came, they rose from the shaking sea
upwards and behind the clouds.
The meteorological conditions had taken a turn for
the worse, clouds were running out of flashes.
The vain Thor, with his hammer, striking an anvil was
not effective only produced small glimmers that
didn’t reach the earth.
Thus, fortified clouds...

the climate
The climate
Is an elephant on opium
Weaned off.
Going berserk
Throwing things around
Tearing the
Polaris into fragments.
Hurricanes
Storms
Flooding.
Scorching summers
Arctic winters
There is no end
To the elephants
Despair.
Slim the elephant
Normal food
It will soften
Its rampage
And trumpeting.
Is an elephant on opium
Weaned off.
Going berserk
Throwing things around
Tearing the
Polaris into fragments.
Hurricanes
Storms
Flooding.
Scorching summers
Arctic winters
There is no end
To the elephants
Despair.
Slim the elephant
Normal food
It will soften
Its rampage
And trumpeting.

Nature wonders
The morning was ice blue
Cold
Wild animals
Freeze
Whish, they had
A human overcoat
The sun thawed
Raindrops
Big as balloons
Exploded on impact
Damaged cars
Drowned cats
The sun
Dried its tears
Dogs barked
Came out of barns
The day
Continued
As nothing had happened.

Sunrise Rainbow
golden sunrise in the east
light rain makes a rainbow feast
for the senses and the mind-
early morning, time to find
motivation, day begins
with Monday driving's traffic dins
flowing by while on the way
as time unfolds to slip away
like the beating of a heart
always we are at the start
of another tick-tick-tock
every morning we unlock
newfound opportunity
to be a better you or me
to evolve, to become
enraptured by the golden Sun
appearing in a golden sky
refracting in the rain nearby -...

the clime
Once Greenland
Had bananas
Monkeys sat in trees
Snakes in the grass.
Then it colder
The jungle vanished
Ice took over.
Yet
The Vikings
Did farming
Had cows
And root plants.
When it got too cold
They took the cow
Home
To Norway
In longboats.
The clime
Had changed
Now it is changing
Again.
Will, it ever snow
In New Delhi.
Had bananas
Monkeys sat in trees
Snakes in the grass.
Then it colder
The jungle vanished
Ice took over.
Yet
The Vikings

Had cows
And root plants.
When it got too cold
They took the cow
Home
To Norway
In longboats.
The clime
Had changed
Now it is changing
Again.
Will, it ever snow
In New Delhi.

Sweetiebelle
she wasn't quite ready
you can see her irises
their colors still beautifully gleam
but those eyes of beckoning
already they knew
that it's
anytime
anytime
but until then,
my heart broke slowly,
with each labored
and lumbered movement
that she shared
just to cuddle or snuggle
and remind
that I am hers and she is mine
a pact made
Once, in a long ago
kismet'd moment of time
you can see her irises
their colors still beautifully gleam
but those eyes of beckoning
already they knew
that it's
anytime
anytime
but until then,
my heart broke slowly,
with each labored
and lumbered movement
that she shared
just to cuddle or snuggle
and remind
that I am hers and she is mine
a pact made
Once, in a long ago
kismet'd moment of time

Troubles melt like lemon drops
Why oh why, can't I
