You took me dancing by the harbour
after snow fell the night, covering
sand and sea in white for an instant
mist in my eyes, as we twirled
towards dizziness held
by the heated pressure of your right
hand posed … CONTINUE READING »
New Love
Not so long ago it was nice there was a pride,
in being a lady gracious delicate and polite,
unostentatiously educated able to hold,
a conversation with kings and commoners
the same, alacritously witty, smiling imbued,
in appropriateness infusing tenderness, … CONTINUE READING »
Buran winds
February departs with promises of spring
abandoning premature buds yellow
on solitary mimosa trees left
to freeze and shiver under the unwanted
caress of Russian buran, sternly gliding
over mounts rivers and valleys to cross
the unsurmountable Urals, past graves… CONTINUE READING »
Power
A stranded auburn brittle leaf before me
surrenders to the deftly sweep of zephyr,
coriolically swirling to elevate its conquest
into an air of revolving molecules, colliding,
split by ultraviolets to recombine, ceaselessly
creating shielding layers of evanescence, rare,
delicate, … CONTINUE READING »
The pendulum
Tick-tock the hands of the clock plock
the pendulum swings to the immutable

was in itself indeed the first
sign … CONTINUE READING »
Addicted
Little shivers down the spine tingle
sacrum arousing shaky senses,
as heated veins convey rampant tides
of blood through flustered vessels
sparking rare incendiary perceptions,
of aliveness, igniting nerves, violin chords
vibrating to reverberate idiosyncrasies,
delusional sensations, merely grounded
on … CONTINUE READING »
Creating sounds
Muteness creates sounds, warning perils
as hyenas shrewdly approach shelters,
expressing needs of thirst and hunger
when lands run dry and fruits perish,
chanting instincts sparked by seasons
eliciting mating overtures inspired,
drawing pictures on cave walls
to indelibly report, … CONTINUE READING »
Carnal identity
The casing we cling onto so greatly
reassures us that indeed we do exist,
for our impalpable spirit
at times, appears merely a dream.
Our eyes in which we look so deep
as if attempting to grasp the within,
shining … CONTINUE READING »
Undo me
Take me into your arms
show me the Universe,
shelter me from deception
talk to me wordlessly,
in our vernacular language
breath to my rhythm,
until breathing becomes useless,
decant your abstractions
into my mind as it evanesces,
pour your … CONTINUE READING »
