Even as I write

Even as I write these two lines ,
a joy-sorrow-happiness-pathos amalgam
melts into a quiet moment in your hands .

Makes all the difference

Respect ,
for everything under the sun ,
for the words we give ,
for the gifts we give ,
for what we are
makes all the difference .

Off on a trail

I am off on the trail
of a magic dragonfly ,
hopping , jumping , skipping
across fields , forests and lakes
forever diverted
forever kissed
by lilies , roses
and jasmine scented
purple-red hibiscus ,
wings fluttering
against the wind .

Long since life has been so simple

Long since life has been so simple ,
so delightful like a child's ,
where I am Lucifer
calling out my name aloud ,
bragging with abandon
all the destruction that I could cause ,
and simply sitting mesmerized
like an angel in love ,
uttering a name ,
a familiar name .

One has to do what one has got to do

Sounds rigid ,
sounds out of fashion ,
but this is what I have
come to believe firmly ,
One has to do
what one has got to do .
No two ways about it .
a la Casabianca .....
through canons ,
from left , right and centre ,
dare to walk ,
with head held high ....

Yet another renaissance

It has been a
long bleak period
of drought for my mind ,
all it needs is yet another renaissance ,
yet another fire
to awaken
the sleepy gray and white cells ,
into a never ending dawn .

A question

Did you hear
the elegance of the unspoken
through all that we spoke ?
