Wherein knights are made
10 April 2016
Hold the thought
It rings with solace
Of hundreds
Of dead stars
They carve infinity’s ways
The suns in arrays
Neatly tucked
Within folds of me
This is Time
Bluebells chime
They ring to glory of One
Where all had begun
Listen hard
The voices speak soft
They cast light
And shadows
Upon heavenly meadows
Wherein knights are made
Reading of the poem:
Fields of Gold – Rumi
Alchemist – Rumi
The Alchemy of Love – Rumi
The multiplying effect
2 March 2016
I, sometimes
Look beyond the hooves
Of rumbling
Time’s wagons
It is in ordinary
Revelations’ chimes
Slow steady
The boat sails oceans
Within tides
Of living
The intentions forgiving
The heart a clean lake
Then sometimes
In the tattooed stars
On the edge
Of sorrow
I rediscover the faith
Where your name is psalm
Mind in heart
Inventing reasons
To listen
To calling
The wild like red leaves falling
Upon winter’s snow
Outside me
There are fiery sparks
Kinetic
Soul’s movements
Lavender on white so pure
Weaving still secrets
Inside us
Stories of twin souls
Mimetic
Looking glass
The multiplying effect
You and I are three
Reading of the poem:
Green Grass – Cibelle
The colours of us
1 March 2016
Radiant
Your presence a gift
I unwrap
In silence
You are present in absence
Soundless story told
Love defines
Landscapes of hushed pines
Ringing soft
Needles’ rhymes
Working their magic mending
Tattered souls of old
Trails are cold
The scent of heart stays
Beyond stamps
Of meaning
Beyond the doubts now clearing
Remnants of footsteps
I am strong
Will more than biceps
Birthing stars
I exhale
Stories of love told on Mars
Which fierce spears inhale
Eye to eye
We meet our semblance
In mirrors
Of bright words
The shepherd beckons to herds
Through staff in the pen
Clucking hen
Cooped up in the dark
Her wings torn
Her eyes wild
She loses a daily child
Harvests of the mark
Trading point
Our prayers now joint
Hidden walls
Cold membranes
Count of numerous blue valves
Between Heart and brains
We see not
The wilting jasmine
That invokes
Scent of spring
The ghost of love that we bring
It beckons dying
We will dance
Like sightless flowers
Pliable
Bending slow
To the winds orchestrating
The colours of us
Reading of the poem:
He needs me – Hindi Zahra
The Man I Love – Hindi Zahra
Stand up – Hindi Zahra
Silence – Hindi Zahra
At the same time – Hindi Zahra
Beautiful Tango – Hindi Zahra
Within the absence of all
28 February 2016
Happiness
Empty three vocals
Caught in throat
As I float
Otherworldly hands grasp me
My world is now shut
Like regret
Make me your sunset
Fading light
Glow me night
Seek me in the open winds
Where horizons merge
Wish me stars
I have hidden scars
Under lace
Through silk cloths
That speak of fiercest cuttings
Coursing through the wild
Let me be
There are reasons small
They crouch slight
As we call
Summoning of the amused
Pitfalls of laughter
Free my soul
Cease the mindless quest
Heart’s arrest
Is wane fate
Tomorrow I will be whole
In blood of my kind
Grant me void
Let me spin empty
Into dark
Glittering
Within the absence of all
None that I recall
Reading of the poem:
Versa – We are not what we say we are
Hushed star’s path
26 February 2016
The wonder
Unfolding slowly
Higher sights
Within range
Vivid photons now derange
The smooth horizons
Succession
Past present future
Wondrous views
Earth renews
Icy age follows the fires
Metamorphosis
Moon hurtling
Out of its orbit
Sparkling death
Knitted net
A sun its son to remit
Within starlit skies
There is love
Woven in my heart
As I walk
Free and lone
Into the blue wilderness
Breathing the waters
I dive slow
Into melding sand
While the winds
Hold my hand
New heavens and Earths greet me
As I emerge low
Her scents whiff
Guiding star shines bright
Mother calls
Silent voice
They starch her choked collar stiff
As she exhales light
Talk to me
Between you and me
Hushed star’s path
Broken maze
The sights of you in a haze
As we gather core
Reading of the poem:
Lights & Motion – The Spectacular quiet
Bringer of the light
16 February 2016
She sits calm
Pondering life’s ways
As Time flows
Like rivers
Our souls go through highs and lows
In dancing waters
Sometimes fast
Sometimes inching ants
We let rants
Broken past
Separate our hearts that beat
Quick admit defeat
The knowledge
It comes slow steady
Into minds
Waking souls
Of the chosen few ready
To live on the edge
He lived thrill
His words harsh mouth shrill
Skull beating
The heart numb
Errors of past repeating
His memory played dumb
We light skies
With crazed fireflies’ glow
Or dead stars
Throbbing lies
Bursting out of mind’s control
To clean mess takes hours
The clock sighs
As it counts seconds
Turning slow
Centuries
Two were to bear it the flame
Now one scurries lame
Phantom twin
Runs lone for the win
Ghostly foot
Joins the race
In pairs we face less disgrace
Battered time relay
He turns meek
His lessons now learnt
The soul burnt
Forged by change
He offers strong other cheek
Forgiveness not strange
Each other’s
Tutor and pupil
Lessons pour
The heart’s fill
Winning humility’s sight
Bringer of the light
Reading of the poem:

Dragon creed
Our wings are shelter
For the weak
Our souls meek
We shun the glitz and glitter
Though we’re born of stars
The old code
Is more than adage
Not mere tale
Past glory
We have none to assuage
That time may erode
Soul swollen
Eternal homage
Bursts in me
Thwarted plea
Now forgotten I don’t flee
The waking moments
Bosoms bare
The heart of thunder
You wonder
Why not fear
The shield is but for the feud
No destiny’s spear
Knave and lewd
They gather hell’s fire
Rake fallen
Spew desire
There is a riddle I admire
She says it on Nile
We crawl slow
Then we stand proud tall
Before age
And fate’s weight
Curb in us the springy gait
And three are our legs
We cover
Our humanity
And frailty
Saucy words
Invisibility’s cloak
Weapons of the mind
There is truth
In between the lies
Where we find
Redemption
Overhauling weaknesses
Pennies in the sun
They shine slight
She innerves them light
Tolerance
Daily task
In their brittle light I bask
Counting my changes

Love life’s mystery
14 February 2016
Dreams endless
Continued morrows
None alike
Surges spike
Electricity charging
Every my atom
You hold me
Like desperation
Your frame trunk
Your arms twigs
On each other we are drunk
Woven ecstasy
Valentine
You from ether’s flame
Soft the smile
Lift the veil
Show me etchings of your face
You who none can name
Turpentine
Essence for my oils
I paint us
From memory
The blue, the red and purple
Flowers for the bees
Moons unite
In dark nightly skies
Where stars ride
Fast moving
Their dead bodies strewn wishes
Upon you and me
Triangle
You me and the moons
She breathless
Stacks her hopes
In fateful rivers endless
In morrows she swoons
Come hither
There is a valley
Where we grow
Endless roots
Fed by sweat air and honey
Love life’s mystery
Reading of the poem:
Spring Waltz – Frédéric Chopin
The wings they grow slow!
4 February 2016
We build selves
Tall and proud oft held
A banner
Prejudice
Crime against what we ignore
We pick of known shelves
Magmatic
A sea of faces
Unending
We shun them
Our minds little spam agents
Breaking wheat from wheat
The hard looks
They tell us nothing
What is there
Is unseen
You can only see with heart
Placid meet and greet
We choose swift
The cut relentless
Faces gone
Slow depart
Our memories small suitcases
The rest a blank slate
Indifference
Invading spaces
Paper thin
Like my heart
On a stark moonless evening
Playing with the dark
I too cut
Oft into myself
Bleak and deep
As it seeps
Separating me from me
I bleed out the self
You watch sad
There are rivers lit
By fireflies
In your soul
Where we could stitch some small parts
Save the wilderness
I cut slow
The task gory bleak
We melt fast
Like candy
Mouth place of prayer and sin
One of our bridges
I smell you
It fills my nostrils
Deep incense
Announcing
Your presence every evening
A mantle of joy
Like in dream
Floating high above
You beckon
To the stars
We are not what we may seem
Uneven our scars
We compare
Our bodies a map
Onlookers
Fascinate
They hail they revere they clap
Mutilated shells
We dilate
Cracked open we squirm
Tender worm
Readied harsh
It takes some light years to fly
The wings they grow slow!
Reading of the poem:
All you never say – Birdy
Shelter – Birdy
Wings – Birdy (Winter’s Tale)
Trinity within my Blues
30 December 2015
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
Morpheus – Sonne Hagal
Silence – Sonne Hagal
The Shapes of Things to Come – Sonne Hagal
