A call to the mind
Of unspoken visions’ sight
That pulses within

Darken the full moon
18 July 2015
Hushed tones cover moss
As the desert air seeps in
Every pore fills dust
Mind’s spores strive to break the crust
Of memory’s pearly shells
.
Waning jasmine dies
Breathing promises of life
In resurrection
Soul’s sight resuscitated
Speaks visions of new morrows
.
Earth spells rhythm of waves
Scourging all rock and ocean
While tides break even
Mind spent all thoughts in balance
As the Blue called to the Grey
.
Clouds gathered in sky
Grimacing scars of pitch black
Darken the full moon
Lost in death’s realm your face stark
Bore no semblance of life’s call

In the Earth’s stillness
2-3 May 2015
The seagulls mewed on
Melancholy in their voice
Mere semblance of choice
Bodies may misrepresent
Inner choice of mind and soul
Tides renewed highs, lows
Ever returning to source
Where deep meets shallow
Inward, outward, light and dark
Weak, strong; one coin two faces
Sand seeped through my toes
Neverlasting steadiness
Of fading times’ strength
Wills willed hard, souls clung, boughs broke
Earth shivered out of motion
In the Earth’s stillness
Sand hovered and waters flowed
Winding winds rose high
Carefree thoughts wound down my mind
As summer’s whispers blew strong
Like a twin answering me
28-29 March 2015
Birds flocked together
Wings outstretched soaring so high
Dark dots in blue skies
Cyan thoughts in indigo
Roared to the front of my mind
Its boughs vibrant red
The bougainvillea awoke
Flowers bursting through
As spring blossomed so did I
In rapture of oncoming
Eyelids closed looked through
The curtains of the unknown
To worlds beneath wraps
Hidden universes leapt
Into mind’s inner callings
Birds of paradise
Within struts of many choose
Calling to their mate
You hear my call and call back
Like a twin answering me
Questions, anger, pour
Like salt into bleeding wounds
Scorching births twin selves
Amidst flames of remembrance
Souls’ eyes meet unwavering
Sun soothing cast rays
Of mellow and healing warmth
Birds sang merrily
Time came for celebration
As dark and light united
Time unbound whirled on
25 March 2015
Sand piled on the rocks
Trembled with news of the quake
As earth changed axis
No polarity in mind
I withstood unseen changes
Images in haze
Caught fleetingly retina
As sun glided on
All life slid as I walked by
Into a cascade of light
Whispers of beings
Crossed borders of the unknown
As the light sailed past
Mind streams flowed into rivers
With ocean naked ahead
Howling silently
Ghosts of the morrow awoke
Time unbound whirled on
Whirring clock in mind counted
Less than a second at bay
I see fire
17-18 March 2015
Fire’s embers burnt
Strong and powerful forces
Primal signs of life
Throbbing mind set colours true
As all shades to red seemed wane
Hissing sound of spark
That once before fought so brave
Yet drowned in water
The tank brimmed with pictures there
Yesterday kept resurging
Ice cool breath faltered
In between mist and cold rain
As fire now blazed
Memories alit in flames
Found no respite in water
Icy fire raged
On the brink of tomorrow
As coal chips broke off
Mind to the heart is a trail
I see fire in its Wake
Live in tomorrow today
24 February 2015

Moon high in sky shone
Semblance of a sun nearby
Where horizons touched
The sky limitless caressed
The greys where twilight spied dawn
Trees swayed in motion
Of dancing flames of thicket
Alit from own sparks
Thoughts alive with inner fire
Took elation to new heights
Cool dawn stood icy
Its gait taking in landscape
That suddenly quaked
A tremor passed through my mind
That to frozen stillness moved
Orange fruit shrivelled
Clung to stem that heaved with sighs
For loss of colour
Lips drained of pink happiness
Voiced inner concerns that raced
Dead daffodils shrank
From their own fleeting bodies
As their souls rose white
Will this red to white relay?
Asked a lost vein in my throat
Roses bloomed listless
Their inner softness alive
With oncoming death
I warned as reaper hissed on
Hark now soul think of today
The rooster crowed on
Lovers’ confusion had it
Waking night and day
As day awakes to the night
While sleep comes in waking day
Huon pines’ answers
Reverberated through time
In rings of thousands
Ten thousand years I had lived
In wait of source renewal
A breeze brought silence
In uproar of change to come
As day merged in night
Live in tomorrow today
In peace of would be morrows
Tomorrow no more
13 February 2015
Silent voices called
The trees that relayed to leaves
Distant summer breeze
The sun shone on his dead skin
That sparkled in summer’s heat
A peacock spread out
Eyes alit with promises
Of awakenings
Tightly shut lids woke no more
To colours smeared across skies
The earth exhaled sighs
As waters bubbled in seas
That stretched vivid blue
Velvet languidly silent
Gushed forth with bubbles no more
Pale blue skies turned grey
Listless grass swayed to strong winds
Like wings of pixies
Fairy tales moaned of parting
As the mind like banshee wailed
Withered brown leaves writhed
Under winter’s sun that glared
Talked no more of warmth
Neither warmth nor melody
Reached the still mind in winter
Shadows changed their course
The river flowed now upstream
Undoing prayers
Spell-cast in its deep waters
That lovers took as refuge
Silver fish shimmered
Slithering among the blue
Tails blazing with light
Of mystic scales that split gills
Whispering waters spoke low
Earth cracked in blisters
For the pain of leaving you
As the birds too cried
I, chest heaving with goodbyes
Washed my face in your ashes
