After the FloodsAfter the floods have washed away life
hopes and dreams gone with each wave
sitting now by a once-small creek, rife
with catfish we never thought to save
which, though river, now also a grave
How can life itself be...

That rest of senses scarce can ever match,

And leaves a sign, a lasting mark to etch,

to remember those days that flew freely
Never knowing one day we'd be exempt
from carefree days, which were but fantasy
our daydreams only today's reverie
Time waits for no one :...

In foggy winter of mistrustIn foggy winter of distrust,
To warm up heart, in hope of sun,
Dry all my nagging doubts to dust,
Scorch misunderstandings to none,
I waited with hope all undone.
Yet, not else can man do but hope
For his long...

MirageO search not for a rare applause,
Beware, life is a thankless stage—
It's vain, a loud uproar to cause
On this voyage of pilgrimage,

Friendship and CoffeeSaturdays, together, drinking coffee
stoking caffeine, we held life in our hand.
Looking back now, our dreams were too lofty.
With rich-bodied coffee, we saw life's plan
as one of beauty in a magic land.

Awaking From Stupor
Our consciousness can be trapped in a rut
of following paths so sadly worn out.

My Daughter
My delight at the day's summit
My strength when despair looms
My happiness in every season
My daughter, my life
The morning sun's gentle rise
The rainbow midday's grace
The stars in the night's embrace
My daughter, my everything
Your lullaby...

We Gained Saint, Lost MotherSaints seem to shine from far off sphere,
Canonized they get a halo.
Teresa, ere a dear mother,
Now hallowed, shines— pink to yellow,
From unknown spheres, not Earth below.
And if one gets in mind nigh...

Fury, A Shy MaidMy anger when watched all but nude,
It soon beat a hasty retreat.
Fury’s a shy maid in black mood,
When exposed, ogled at, would quit,
Feel helpless, void of all her wit.
