Passages

Passages

 

Of history’s

mysteries

Conniving

Chicanery 

 

cupid for some

enemy for another

bridge for one

chasm of another 

 

Musical notes

Bell’s tolls

mom’s cajoles

dad’s scolds

  

aroma of feasts

bobbing heads

smell of fear

ashen cowardice 

 

holy chants

escaping incense

runaway senses

reminiscing 

 

passages of time

traversed eternally

ever spanning

countless lifetimes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning Pick Me Up

Infusion=transfusion=diffusion=nirvana

Beckoning warmed cup
Quality tea leaves
Saucer with dash of
Cinnamon, cardamom, clove
Boiling water on spiced leaves
Drip drip drip slowwww
Aroma rising
In tandem
With
Spirit
Sip sip sip
Lethargy
Slip slip slip
Spirit
lifts lifts lifts
nirvana
I do not hate
Any
one
Any
more

Thought Spill – 1

Spilling thoughts

Boiling water

On burner

Steaming cup

Scalded cheek

Tongue bitten

Stiff fingers

Wistful eyeful

Grey locks

Nature’s graffiti

Hair confetti

Relentless march

Time unforgiving

Spirit unwilling

Body bowing

Jerking upright

Vainly walking

In tandem

wayward

Spirit-eternal

Sunshine

Inside out

Spilling

thoughtfully

Flight

An obscure landscape

Nondescript place

Extraordinary sight

Flightless bird in flight

Icarus on the waterway

Fish flying on airway

Piranha regurgitating bits

Bits coming together

Forming joey rabbits

Stars stretching arms

Gently touching petals

Petals pecking starry cheeks

Sun, moon gliding hand in hand

Day and night getting out of hand

Topsy turvy world sleeping waking

Seated on a dinosaur back

Magic wand my hand waving

When a 3D reptile converged

Recoiling I jumped, fell

Thud woke me, pell mell

A fanciful dream, I could tell

Painful back

Out of shape gait

Was my fate

After Rain

Indiscriminate rain clouds gave their all

Response came in earthy aroma, sprouts

 

Scrambling snails huddled scattered shells

Worms, gorging mini juggernauts, slithered

 

Muted chirrups retracted to refuges feathered

Overhead pearl drops shimmered in strung wires

 

Mopped dusty air, puffs of rejuvenating breath

Replete trees stand tall arms branched out

 

Leaves shaking shivers in euphoric frission, ecstatic

Life is dynamic ever changing moods, never static
