It will take you under if it can. The world
is more water than love, and water is
indifferent to our crisis. My dear,

it will not save you, and any comfort
you gain, well, it is your own
imagination pulling the blanket up
over you, warming the body

And while the sea may feel all that lives
within it, it is neither angered nor
concerned. We cannot fathom it.

And it, in all its wetness, still
or wild, would fill our mouths,
our noses, our lungs without
considering the consequences,
not once, not ever.

Everywhere is peace
That keeps me at ease
Take time, hear and stare
You will feel peace everywhere

Sound of the flowing river
Quenching the thirsty traveler
Melodious bird chirping aboard
The proudest song of natures word

Sound of breeze
Humming of bees
Blooming flowers that plants bear
I find peace everywhere

Peace in the silent moon
Like sugar in pie one teaspoon
Adding sweet colors and light
When I enter the dark night

Stand still admire nature
There is peace in every creature
From small to big, narrow to wide
I can see peace worldwide.

Oh to lie upon her
Her nakedness is all
I simply orchestrated
That horizontal fall

And had no wrong intentions
And cared about no tree
I simply lay with her
And she with me.

It is all Chinese whispers
It all gets told askew
I simply kissed the lips
That kissed the apple dew.

In the moonlit night;
She resides.
In the darkness;
She hides her weakness.
She has nothing to lose,
And nothing to gain;
For; her heart has a black stain.
Carrying hatred and rage;
Her inner child,
Got thrown into an unbreakable cage.
She calls loneliness her friend;
For; only that sticks with her till the end.
A diary in hand,
She strides along the hot-blazing sand.
Not a destination on mind,
She has become blind.
Blind, from the reality;
She could not handle its brutality.
Even though she resists;
In the moonlit night she exists.

In the skies over Inverness
is light-play on an annual quest
and pipers come to play along
with the aurora’s lovely song.

Moonbeams shy in aurora’s light
give way to flowing waves so bright.
Cosmic charged particles from the sun
are sure to leave no coloring undone.

Echoes of piped tunes will dance
while colors in sky do entrance;
as high above the highland lakes
the sky performs a waltz of grace.

People are not good to each other

People are not good to each other

People are not good to each other

I suppose they never will be

I never asked them to be,

We don't think about the terror of one person

Aching in one place

Alone

Untouched

Unspoken too

Watering a plant

Being without a telephone that will never ring

Because there isnt one

I come to a room adorned with whispers of time…

Where the shadows dance in a rhythmic rhyme,
And there, an old woman stands with a heavy heart,
Gazing into a mirror, looking at the crooked work of art.

Her eyes, once bright, like stars in the night,
Now hold the weight of a fading light.
Lines etched by years, like tales on her face,
Each wrinkle a chapter, a journey to trace.

The mirror reflects the passage of years,
A canvas of memories, laughter, and tears.
She curses the image that stares back at her,
A ghost of the beauty, now just a blur.

Jewel in the sky
Lit me up
As you're lit up
In the sky

The glow in the sky
Has captured my eye
O jewel in the sky

Was it just the eye
Or it caught
The soul
Through the eye
From the sky
Deep in the
Unknown sky
Awaiting to be lit up
Like the jewel in the sky

Jewel in the sky
Lit me up
As you're lit up
In the sky

These are your own words
your way of noticing
and saying plainly
of not turning away
from hurt

you have offered them
to me I am only
giving them back

if only I could show you
how very useless
they are not

04/07/2024

Every year we have been
witness to it: how the
world descends

into a rich mash, in order that
it may resume.
And therefore
who would cry out

to the petals on the ground
to stay,

I don't say
it's easy, but
what else will do

if the love one claims to have for the world
be true?

So let us go on, cheerfully enough,
this and every crisping day,

though the sun be swinging east,
and the ponds be cold and black,
even a warm summer breeze is nothing too relax

Just poetry,

Secret from the river
Carried by the endless waves
Flowing to return to the sea
And then hide in the ocean depth

As everybody feels happy and pain
the innocence heart in us, is just the same

Return to the sea
Listen the ballad of of waves
A confession in a song from sea
By the chanting bubbles of emotions
With the whispers in the ocean
Humming secret story from the depth
My heart hides in deep breath

Just poetry,

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.
