I listen

To chatter of birds

They carry

Your heartbeat

The sound of oncoming spring

Gushing in fountains

 

Hark renew

Millenary faith

In footsteps

Of mother

Sunken grounds bear the mildew

Of past green composts

 

Mark my words

We will dance to bond

Written high

In the sky

Spelling a wit’s exercise

Miss stakes of the wise

 

Feel the touch

It speaks of precious

Breath luscious

Blowing soft

Upon nape crawling aloft

Serpentine pathways

 

Seek the chain

Unlock written tense

Future spent

Past pretense

Words a string of hope and pain

Makers of the rain

 

Rent a room

With a view to buy

Estates grasp

Fingers clasp

Joint prayers to funerals

Of the heaving boom

 

Speak promise

Of shadowed sunshine

Cool mist weighs

Balanced rhythms

Your step foretelling my hip

Between cup and lip

Mother wakes

Shaking off the crusts

From past wounds

Stretching taut

We receive havoc we brought

With our tiny hands

 

Tall splendour

She unfolds her gait

Ninth wonder

Defines her

Moving through Eleventh gate

Lava and thunder

 

Molten breath

She trembles and heaves

With the tides

As she rides

Brings upon us Mercy’s death

Split faith her stallion

The blind screech

They cling to tatters

Dying leech

Mind flatters

While the seeing heart scatters

The law of Talion

The children

Survivors of wreck

They sail lone

No captain

Only ghosts upon the deck

As they whimper lost

We reborn

From scattered blue coil

Remember

Past glory

Huddled in ship hear story

Of ancestors’ toil

Now rejoice

I will remind you

How we fled

Tomorrow

Leaving behind us sorrow

Shedding it like leaves

 

Nasal voice

Through Time’s loudspeaker

Calls for me

Warning shrill

It transforms to wing my gill

Splitting the ethers

 

Hurry child

Follow flight of birds

They head South

Where waters

Split through the red desert storms

Basking in two suns

Veil so thin

Veil so thin

She was freed

Twice in a neat row

The bluebirds

They sang so

Their beaks memories of honey

The bees had gathered

 

I flew high

Keeping company

With her wings

Lost anthems

We move in skies with phantoms

The moon our witness

 

We all die

Before we can live

My years stretch

Into skies

Desolation I forgive

I love green meadows

 

The true love

It is never lost

Just sleeping

Beauty fades

We may exchange hearts for spades

Breathe within shadows

 

The night’s kiss

A story of dark

Of lovers

And clovers

Clubbed to death by the wit game

In love we place shame

 

Nothing moves

The wind is dead cold

The breath warm

Tired bees swarm

Just around my window sill

As I face the winds

 

Flies hover

Suspended wings gleam

Tomorrows

Noise sullen

Picking up the mornings din

I soak it in skin

 

It vibrates

Snakes crawl up my spine

Sun troubling

Dream divine

We were free upon a rhyme

When teeth clicked tight shut

 

Fleeting Time

I gather my hands

Rubbing oil

Through snakes kin

The true which people think false

The best hiding place

 

All numbers

They are but targets

Floating within

Veil so thin

We discover what we choose

The rest we let loose

Hark the Day

Rose into the Sun

Sing o Birds

 

Snow’s flowers

Chanting in my hair

Winter light

 

Days go by

Spring now slight beckons

Jasmine hums

 

Summer sways

The long sun-kissed Days

Crooning Hays

 

The lark shouts

Autumns wing Daylight

The leaves sing

 

Winter sprouts

Days in  short bouts

Nights serenade

The chances in ice

Celebrations yet dormant

Within Time’s spaces

 

A cramped sky of white

Clouds gathered competition

The silver linings

 

Birds in flights’ starkness

On backdrops of Heavens’ rims

Surrogate sisters

 

A hand on my knee

Pressure of a thousand cries

Purple dreams’ shadows

 

Your tears in my eyes

As wells brimmed with old despair

Crossed darkness in Heart

 

Summer’s painted skies

Contrasting orange for blue

Mythical morrows

 

Perhaps one Winter

I will swim in the lava

That burns within you

Walk in the valley

Where shadows are only sight

Cracked Earth stretches

 

Reinventing paths

Build destroy and build anew

Within the cracks Breathe

 

Look upon the Lands

Liquid thoughts penetrate seams

All glory now spent

 

Metamorphosis

Three crows sang to nightingale

Over land’s watchdog

Fall through listless cracks

Offering is not in pride

The living Confines

 

Grasping all within

Blowing it to Northern winds

Darkened eye meets Ice

Rise to covered skies

The fall and the rise unite

Cold sun Witnesses

 

Anointed useless

Fear Ego’s highest Level

Parts with Sacrifice

 

Stand within the grounds

Be the dragon and the prince

All tides Overcome

 

Silent tunes will flow

From the hands that knead the air

Bright new Sunrises

I will the trees to gather leaves silent

For woodcutter could hear their rustling chimes

Yet trees bellow with chattering strident

I almost see within bed-ridden rhymes

 

Often I yearn to join the birds, migrant

Yet trees though noisy choose, I love these thymes

From all those flavours this pine tree vibrant

Of shadowed mushroom faces’ glory mimes

 

From yonder grounds tall ones preserve their bark

Low high, grey green, choose one in harmony

A will to hurt your glow for none compete

 

Look down below the winding lanes for mark

Blue red King’s colours splashed hegemony

In your tall build revel again complete

Birds nestled subdued

Into blissful deep slumber

Keeping us in mind

 

All nightingales sang

In rapture of the beauty

Of us coiled, uncoiled

 

Stars whispered secrets

Night had been sole accomplice

As jasmine overheard

 

Precision tuning

Mind waves sought more attention

I listened intent

 

Dusk like dawn flickered

In recognition of light

Engulfing our flames

 

Moons envied the sun

Peering bright into our souls

As our limbs we seek

 

Urgency in times

Set fire to the stillness

We moved not, lazy

 

You and I stretched out

Fleetingly daytime joined in

Unveiling future
