The Silent Tree

It bustles around

With keen promises of words

Hanging like dead fruit

Adrift the swaying leaves

 

The Silent Tree

It sheltered my frame

With a hundred drops of shade

Casting spells of dark

Amidst the scorching sun

 

The Silent Tree

I climbed its branches

Making merry of the ground

My hands tools of skies

Beyond reach of the mind

 

The Silent Tree

We had carved its bark

With tomorrows nevermore

Basking in todays

In fading centuries

 

The Silent Tree

We had cut its branches

When dying sun passed away

Snuffed out like candle

Within eye of the Storm

 

The Silent Tree

We both watched it fall

Its roots decaying  tunnels

Where the rats ran free

Through eras of regret

 

The Silent Tree

Its hushed memories

Shivered within my bosom

When the moon sang shrill

With voiceless agony

 

The Silent Tree

I shake off its leaves

From desperate clinging arms

That embraced me tight

Before I emerged free

Ascension

Into red passion

Mirrored stairs

Marble squares

The chest more than bosom bares

Naked enchantment

 

Mind fragment

Lost in broken tides

Twin dances

Take chances

With the rhythm of futures

That the Heart nurtures

 

Winding tree

Gathers momentum

Twenty-three

Locked heirlooms

Fluttering in hidden rooms

As the veils unfold

Sacred blood

Diluted in her

Glory’s tides

Closed caskets

They carry gold in baskets

Redemption her weight

 

Heavy stance

Her destined measure

Royals pay

Bleak treasure

Son daughter and the unborn

Their tribute forlorn

 

The kings walk

Following North Star

Polar talks

Opposite

Spun out of control we are

Twined in other side

 

Night-clad ride

The bosom silent

The eyes keen

Frame unseen

They hurry towards deserts

Where sands recount Time

 

They await

His eyes his passion

She watches

Unmoved mind

Only Heart in compassion

Appearance deceives

 

He grieves

Locked within remnants

Star born creed

Heaven’s leaves

Lost each of his descendants

Sacrificial greed

 

In her eyes

He distills waters

Their hearts beat

Unison

She picks up as he falters

Twined are their spirits

 

Spinning Eight

Infinity’s Tale

Unborn male

Now female

Gods and Demons laughing fail

To explain the joke

In the break of twin daylights

In the break of twin daylights

I love you

Yes I can’t not love

Your shadow

Within me

It builds a seed of morrows

Where giants pave roads

 

I love moons

That shine on widows

Covered face

Banished grace

Eyes that beat beneath the lace

With hundred sorrows

 

Tiny heart

Flutters in ribcage

Its shadow

Lost in Earth

Hurtling through an endless space

Between eye and lash

 

I sink slow

Within inner worlds

They spell voids

Galaxies

Limitless rainbows that curve

Around blue mountains

 

Inside me

There lies purple tree

It bears fruit

Red blue leaves

Remnants of bosom that heaves

With crust of the Earth

 

Within sight

There lies a lone star

She beckons

To New Worlds

Where sisters knit the white wombs

That will bear infants

 

The children

Their hearts make merry

Blue meadows

Glistening

The plains alive now ringing

With call of the wild

 

I love you

In infinity

Every face

Is your face

Your heart among every beat

Across blue valleys

 

I love you

Yet I cannot love

My heart lost

Forever

In the break of twin daylights

For I love the suns

Grey dawn awakens

Sleepy grasshoppers stretching

In drizzle of light

Idle thoughts in the half-light

Stir lazily in my mind

 

Silent butterflies

Flutter in the morning rays

That slowly emerge

My restless hands stretch outwards

Craving gift of the sun’s warmth

 

Silent observer

Tiny sparrow lands promptly

Perched on my fingers

Turned master of life and death

I lift my hand gingerly

 

The bird on the hand

Watching clouds fly in the sky

Blue dreams of springtime

Within bosom hopes of sun

Spiral towards lost freedom

 

Wanton prisoner

Delaying its onward flight

The sparrow hops twice

Curious mind discovering

I repeat the lost trials

 

The clouds gather dark

Their rims stripped of all linings

Stand dry tone on tone

Knaves take shelter the soonest

While the brave dance in the storms

When the bird chirps soft

Spring softer makes its way through

Flurry of gardens

Within the bosom mellow

Sunshine smiles hummed melodies

 

The nests are now built

Every strand a tireless flight

Parents made myriads

The hands that ironed now rest

Bright uniforms hanging prim

 

Rows of birds gather

Their beaks keen tools of language

Yellow orange flare

Women and children converse

Recommendations for school

 

Birds fly high in skies

Aerial exercise of grace

Coordinated

Mothers watch babies’ movements

Their eyes warm support system

 

A woodpecker cries

Its nest’s entrance occupied

By bees’ colonies

Livelihood created wiped

New livelihood emerges

 

Flowers bloom silent

Resplendent colours gushing

The fading shine bright

I watch harmony within

Losing all yet having all

The leaves in tight row

Bordered the alleys that wound

In between patches

Within my bosom clearings

Sat in toasty clusters of thought

 

Compact flowers shone

Sturdy milk white petunias

All cramped within pots

Tepid ideas roamed slow

In mind’s glowing flushed harbours

 

Warm winds blowing hard

Mixed petunias and green leaves

Left nothing untouched

Steady confusion of mind

Made patchwork of ideas

 

The dust riding fast

Sweaty summery playgrounds

Sweltering desert

Pieces in taut memories

Grew hot blizzard in my soul

 

The Earth cried out loud

She recognized not her pair

Earth and sky repelled

A heated debate ensued

Between rigid mind and heart

Rasping breath

I barely control

Life inches

Away slow

As I gift its every glow

Consumption my deed

 

Waiting death

She pays never heed

To self-pity

Her mouth grim

Her face marble as eyes swim

Serendipity

 

We once could

Be token of hope

Building light

Heart of might

I stumble more than I cope

With weight of wording

 

Literal

Prose and poetry

Woven bright

Through the night

The wand of age old wisdom

Words raising kingdom

 

Emerging

Two towers creep slow

From sands’ depths

Into skies

They bring truth where there were lies

End blood spent in waste

 

Burning trees

Within my bosom

Speak of fires

And wasteland

Oxygen for volcanoes

Disrupt blood and air

 

He whispers

Of breath that will cease

His hand soft

His cheek gaunt

His very touch daily taunt

As leaves shrivel brown

Each of them

Unknown mother’s son

Their graves white

Their hair cut

Their tomorrows spent in night

Their haunting timeless

 

Lily white

The stone on the Earth

Trace of them

Fading slow

With the last pieces of bone

Replicating loss

 

The tears dark

Blackwashing markings

Rimmel lakes

Connection

The soul a weary bundle

The struggle to sigh

 

 

She awaits

Hope within bosom

Her plaits neat

Flowers strewn

She had kissed him to wane moon

He will call in well

 

He lies deep

Battered and lonesome

His clothes pressed

Upon his corpse

They had sewn in his blown feet

He walked on a shell

 

 

They crawl wild

With the gnawing news

Inhaling

Exhaling

Orphaned dreams set their dark fate

The falling children

 

The love lost

Three times blown over

Ghosts hover

Angels weep

Her love so deep now asleep

The forever kind

 

A twin loss

Her womb now empty

She stares blank

The walls smite

Like those silent lilies’ sight

Her wish? to be blind!

The taste of the salt

I can feel it on my lips

Remnants of the Sea

 

I see now your face

Glorious revelation

Like the love in you

 

Your thoughts in bosom

Connection mind to mind starts

Images you toss

Born from the welding of us

Wordsmith worked so keen

 

Toss us now unto

Delicious soar of Heart’s fires

Kindling flames of Love

 

Lost in this embrace

Deep word to word locked

Your touch my soul soothed
