This is ground control
I sneaked in to give you a call,
it’s been a while and I yet wonder
are you still floating ‘round your tin can?
Since you launched in sixty-nine
not much has changed on planet Earth,… CONTINUE READING »
Hi, I’m in New York
My heartbeat increases
compelling me to focus
on deeper breaths,
as lungs crave abundance
of oxygen required
by a puzzled mind,
wondering why
such an absurd feeling
creeps from within,
for someone I
barely know so far away,
imagining your … CONTINUE READING »
Sakamoto’s rain
Long fingers, strong
as those of a pianist, maestro
entrancing as he strikes ivory
keys unleashing,
hypnotising notes gently
opening with an adagio,
softly incalzando to an allegro
keeping tempo, beating rhythm
to intimacy only awaiting,
reverberation.

Stomp me to intoxication
I was born in green valleys to the effort of strong hands
roughened by the harshness of ungentle wintery gales.
Delight permeated space as they smiled to see me flourish,
Showering me with attention, care and compliments.
Perennially making sure … CONTINUE READING »
The space within
There is a space, hidden from the eye
Of all creatures residing Earth only I,
Cognise and call my own as I alone,

Carpets of thin glass,
As they unfold immensity
One grain at the time.

Published yearly reports on global
development, equality and happiness

economy, wealth and well-being
uneven distribution.
Policies, discrepancies, resolutions,
conflicting interests of individuals
and groups interacting on grounds
of power asymmetries leading to failure.

Burning bodies
Manacles made of thoughts
Enchain spirits encaged
In asymmetric chambers
Of bodies neglecting to heed,
Prisoners they conceal within,
Terrestrial material planes
Where the tangible struggles
To conceive the impalpable yet,
Inexplicably perceives its essence
As it knocks on the … CONTINUE READING »
Out of Love
Crystalline waters enclose the rocks
Which ancient sailors swore to be,
The remnants of genesis leftovers
Of creation thrust deep, in the heart
Of the Mediterranean sea. Stones
Of philosophers mystic alchemy,
Metamorphosing mercury into precious metals,
Silver and gold, … CONTINUE READING »
Satin and Lace
Magic arboreal lights suffuse
amid the fertile underwood,
sheltered by rebirthing leaves
on the tall tree branches of a secret
forest, after the white cold carpet
of pale snow gives way to nature’s
awakening, from wintry lethargy
when plants and … CONTINUE READING »
