Before I Ruin the ViewBefore I ruin the view, I see…I see
as a child - the colors meld
in the sky, in the lake, at tree level.
Before I ruin the view, I chew on it,
revel in it, see God in it. I see…
Before I ruin the view, alone with myself,
alone with sights and sounds; infinity.
Before I ruin the view, by...

The Gate Is Open
- One must make some choices,
even if some may be scary - quote by poet
Charming ancient cobblestone streets
Buildings meticulously maintained
Haunted castles with
bloody myths and dramatic history

The PersonThe person who calls, calls to the person who hears.
The person who asks, asks the person who listens.
The person who confides, confides in the person to trust.
But the person who boasts, boasts to anyone.

ROSES AND RUINSDays intimacy fail
And history holds no value
Grudges will be called on
When expectations fail
So are roses intertwined
When petals starts to drop
It’s all a solitary fall
Not to be over burdened
When the time bolts
And unity comes
The fraternal will be separated
And the spare dispersed
Then old thoughts are replaceable
For they are no longer new
Only at the peak...

Lacking an AnchorA drift in a sea of longing,
rudderless and without direction.
Trying to stay afloat
amidst the relentless winds and currents
whipping the crests into a frenzy.
At the mercy of the nautical tempest,
in a fruitless battle to maintain control,
I’m losing sight of the sheltered harbor
that was my refuge from this upheaval
brought on by the forced solitude
when you left...

Reigniting the flameHere she comes with a smile,
Flaunting her beauty flashing in her smiles,
She may come only once a while to meet me,
Thats enough to reignite the flame of love in me.
The love blossomed just in few meets,
The self in hearts turned into feeling of us,
The flame of love got lighted...

Morning glory
Morning glory _
From our car
Along the hilly path
Numerous they're
With the attention
of doing math
In their voice
A guitar
Colorful headgear
Off and on
mutual whispers
The Tea Pluckers
Mingled with the green
Humming and plucking
Unique discipline
Never a machine
Sometimes carrying
their babies on their backs
While moms work
Babies relax
In sun and shadows
Day after day
On substandard pay
Mostly illiterate
Inconsiderate employer
Do you feel a jerk?
In addition
unpaid domestic work
Through the...

As The Dewdrops SlideAs the dewdrops slide down the tomato
Silent thoughts turn to you
How you love to plant a garden, eat
The fruits, but not a stew
Unfinished for now...

Somewhat Misty MemoriesA month of memories,
Are somewhat washed away,
Blurred to my naked eye.
Some I can remember,
Some I chose to forget,
Now just haze in my heart....

I write and writeI write and write
It is my lust
It is my fury
But on some days like this
I wonder
Do they mean anything to you?
I read every word and read again
I warm with each syllable
Until I’m hot and vibrating
This Summer Sun awakens
My wonder and desire
How can I convey this, are words enough?...
