New poem: At the Table of Fate
I drift through the endless void,
A flight powered by opioid.
Addled thoughts spin myths of their own,
A bit of flesh hides the brittle bone.

New poem.
Futility of This Poem
I gather the panoply
Of my arcane whims,
Sew them with thread of tears
Into a garland of hymns.
Customers come and smell,
As I display them in retail.

The cloud thundered
As drums of war
And bore the bow of Indra
Strung with lightning,
And let loose
The sharp arrows of rain.
Piercing the hearts
Of travellers to torment.

A figure standing in a field of hay at night during moonlight.
New Original Poem: Nocturne
Steady stream of moonlight
Bathe the fields of hay.
The gentle touch of night
Sooths the wounds of day.
Fleets of cloud sail
On the tranquil breeze.
Draped in nocturne veil
Dreams glide with ease.

Delicate watercolor painting, natural earth tones. A person with a happy mask hiding sadness. Browns, beiges, muted colors, translucent washes, fluid brushstrokes.

A new poem on sadness and longing.
History trapped inside flaking plaster,
Obscured from the view.
Buried beneath the firm red bricks
With a cemented future anew.

A Night At the Autumn Festival
Whipped cream clouds rain down from high,
through velvet winds in vanilla sky,
through crimson dawn and orange dusk,
the mind wanders for the soul to lusk.

Through the dusty yellowed street
A stream of bubbling life flowed,
I, a lonely droplet, wandered in need
Of rest and fare with spirits endowed.

Another long lap around the sun.
Some turns were tough, some chicanes’ fun.
The race's long drawn,
Now the tyres’ gone,
A new lap starts, which I must run.

A sight none to behold,
An absurd story untold,
With spent dreams unseen.
Thousand unborn dead souls
And million unwritten scrolls,
A planet no one to preen.
