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

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

Life condemns

The flailing fledglings

Cast on limb

Broken souls

Searching for key in other

Inside dwell answers

 

Succession

Of partners flurry

One night stands

Hurried love

Immersion in dark dwellings

Caves for the half-baked

 

Truths simmer

Under the fleeced skin

Wincing taut

Stand at ease

There is light in the shadows

Not all courts martial

 

Immersion

A haunting thought creeps

Diving deep

Into hides

My skin seeks more than the touch

Invading senses

Senseless games

Playing one’s own mind

Losing fast

Hand in sling

All the doubts that they will bring

These pawns that we move

 

Handicapped

One hand claps never

Alone pale

Barely snap

Fingers attempting some joy

Whistle stuck in throat

 

When to learn

Perhaps when skin peels

Efforts lost

Clapping hard

Against chest flanks jagged ribs

Some hands claps sever

 

I aim soft

At moving targets

Illusion

Breach of trust

The steely will now does rust

Red the waste matter

Imagine

Colours of a beak

Glory’s peak

Word to speak

Iridescent mouth hardened

By years of trials

 

The wise ones

They arm with patience

The waiting

Discovery

Going through the kernel’s path

The way to the self

 

You can clean

Arches of doorways

Rid cobwebs

Of spiders

The room’s content lost treasures

Other lifetimes’ hunt

 

Spring cleaning

Relentless forte

I wear it

Bright motto

Speleologist grotto

My search sane and blunt

Winter’s main treasures

Granted to baby spring’s care

She melted all flakes

 

We wistful watched her

The celebrated cherub

Our eyes a heartache

 

Capital the crime

The juvenile detention

Only way for babe

 

I named her law year

Freshman a youth unvarnished

Chief of her defense

 

She was but infant

I depicted Dickens’ tales

Leading jury cried

 

Unruly minor

She suffered major mood swings

From tulips to skies

 

Guilty the kid charged

Was the dominant sentence

Juries hate the brat

 

My brilliant defense

Depicting the cub’s sorrow

Stood not her offense

 

The imp merely grinned

Beckoned to future offspring

She was a star child

 

Far from innocent

Principal appeal now lost

She mooned the judges

The fresh spring breeze

Spreading upon snow clad paths

Ice and weeds patterns

 

The heart in love’s mode

Flowed into green beginnings

Where sprouts spoke of life

 

Crisp wind sang aloud

Of flowers’ variety

That splattered springs’ way

Lucid dreams awake

Ice yesterday’s snow grown cold

Faith a kindling fire

 

Wish upon a star

Watch it travel translucent

Into horizons

 

I will reach you there

Our bodies luminous arks

Love’s aspiration

The souls translucent

Travel through winter’s long breath

A world of belief

 

Your heart’s white crystals

Promise of pearls for my heart

Dewdrops a lifeline

 

Thawing crystal flakes

Hope a glimmer of relief

As spring makes its way

I fall through the cracks

In between tiles that shudder

Winter’s ice-clad touch

 

I fall through the cracks

Dropping from the wall’s peelings

That autumn rain cast

 

I fall through the cracks

From one ledge to another

That summer clad beige

I fall through the cracks

As the air opens its pores

Sizzling mist around

 

I fall through the cracks

As the skies open their arms

Shedding me sunrays

 

I fall through the cracks

Between needles and clock’s face

As Time slowly dies

vast clouds

 

The sun emerged white

Battling with moonlit traces

Broad skies twined two lights

 

The moon shied away

Night’s ample reach drowned in cold

Conceding fair skies

 

Sunny morrows rose

Shining petals shone through clouds

Limitless broad smiles

Awakening birds

Chirped through boundless horizons

Voices crystal clear

 

Winter clothed vast lands

In mocking fields of springtime

Luminous rain fell

 

Pleasant flowers laughed

Immense wit to trick seasons

Man and sun conspired

 

vast jasmine

Reinvented spring

Reinvented spring

3 January 2016

 

Spectacles, new eyes

Look within their frame’s focus

Winter’s snow turns crisp

 

Next doors a bird chirps

A leafy tree in desert

Reinvented spring

 

 

Rain’s pitter patter

Upon the meadows flowers

Snow preserved by walls

 

Beach sands extended

Slight rivers joining the sea

Summer kissed winter

 

 

Images from my camera for the flowers (all from my garden) and from luxuo.com, worldoftravel.com, ink361.com, gadling.com for the Dubai sightseeing points landscapes

I wrote this poem in a series of Haiku bordering on Senryu because it struck me how much it is typical of this country in its winter to know of three seasons within the same time; mainly winter, spring and summer together but during some days winter, spring and autumn bizarrely depending on where you are going. The winter symbol is of course man-made with the construction of ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates where you can go skiing regardless of the temperature outside. Winter here is the equivalent of spring in Europe and when it is not raining the weather is fantastic, flowers are blooming and birds are chirping everywhere.

Fireworks game of stars

Coloured skies vivid flashes

Cool winter’s heating

 

Instill me silence

From the depths of Mother’s womb

Amnesia’s flowers

 

A pile of memories

Waiting to catch moonlight’s fire

Insidious rainbows

Red, green, blue, closed hue

Punctuation keeps me sane

Kaleidoscope’s lane

 

I walk through dreamtime

Cast are the chains of my past

In shadowless groves

 

Hollow eyes perceive

The shades in between the lights

Darkness plays in squares

 

Tight-lipped goddesses

Bathing in sun-kissed waters

Emancipation

 

The old man bled seas

The whales and the mobs freed him

Flags burnt in red skies

 

You and I kissed sweet

The parting of forever

Between lips and teeth

 

Sealed in a heartbeat

Promises of stones and cuffs

Slinking pets’ cages

 

My mind a forest

Tall trees, shrubs, waterfalls crept

Stillness their white tomb

 

A story breathed hard

A death like many others

Penance for waking

 

Ten thousand spilled forth

Gushing from open gash fled

Tails and tales for Heads

I gathered hinges

Old creaking doors I mended

Parts solace of whole

 

In between keyholes

Rays of light played with the sun

Games of promises

 

Three more from thirteen

Trinity within my blues

Jazzy end to days
