The terror
Of furtive glances
To find out
If I should feel proud
Or be petrified
For
Your well-being!

On clouds of voids
Androids…
Accessories to murders
Of les vulnérables…
The humanoids

Thoughts, like
Specks of dust
From arid climes
Thirsting
A hullaballoo
Of words
Flustered
In an oasis

Deluxe flourishes
Moonlight frills
Dying candle lux
Fire chills

He sang a bold ballad
in a lilting baritone
But she could hear
the pathos buried
in subtle undertones

In dusk’s quiet lumen
When piranhas triangle
Your soft underbelly
With razor-sharp teeth
The sun’s already busy
Looking a hundred miles away...

She had a red umbrella
A yellow raincoat
A pair of black mud boots
Whenever it rained
She left them at home
To be undone by the sublime

doomed in a strenuous
strife ‘tween the pull
of new moon and full
the verve seemed
submerged in waves
in the whole oeuvre

A libertine’s
La vie en rose
In daisies and pansies,
In tulips and poppies,
A-twirling a-whirling
And oh, all that swirling
Got stilled and lulled
In a bougainvillea
Boulevard
Brought respite to daisies & ...

sitting around
the fire pit
the ashes cooling
they wait
unmoving
unmoved and
wonder
if the other
would be the first
to experience sonder

symphony of the rain
on the roof and

with the ineffable
cacophony of quiet
inside impenetrable walls

asked to visualise
a safe space
she traced a few
all of which were
associated
strangely
with the realm
of the condemned

All that sounds as such is
not as such is what I
found a rather hard way,
when I pulped and puréed
all those luscious plums
you were going to use
for some mundane breakfast,
to surprise you
with a plum cake,
and with that rests my case!

His glass blue-eye tear-drop ‘nazar’
Her rainbow agate amulet
Trying to break the spell
Cast by a sky of obsidian stones

From a tabletop hill
an #oracle tolled the bells
to the heavens
seeking an #oasis
The sky rumbled down
some #fables and people
playing Chinese whispers
at the foothill
didn’t know better than
to turn those 'pebbles'
into grains of mirage

over the horizon
the blurring of line
between
ache and
escape

picking up between
a wound and a wonder
should not be a conundrum
but what if…? and what if…?

The easel bore the weight
of a spotless white canvas
even as colours
whirled and
swirled and whooshed
and swooshed pellucid
and gouache
strokes on every
particle breathing air…

all her crystalline instincts
of a red-blue energised raging
settling for nods
of the crumbling skies
to a powdery
sublimate of an ochre-grey
of the dustiest dusk

How do I write my pain
It’s not for them to know
Yet the ink needs to flow
out the margin’s dead end

Gold drops cling
breathless
as she brushes
her ebony strands
in morning light
Sprinkles of silver
falter on his
brush strokes
absolving
the night

a fancy
escutcheon
for a fixed
keyhole
for peeping Toms
to feel moral
in their naked
bones

… for what feels more real
than
wounds & wonders…?
