A blanket, soft and
warm, with the faintest hint of
her perfume; torn me –
the warmth makes me want to sleep
fragrance says not without her
A mirror image
a mirror image
of who he once was looks back
occasionally
he curses under his breath
what an emotional fool
Magically musical
these eyes of yours are
magically musical
I hear violins
when you flutter them at me
guitars chip in when you smile
The moon is still dark
the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a sun
give me endless glow of your
tender love, care, affection
the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a breeze
drive away the clouds that mark
my brow – insecurities
the moon is still dark
it waits for you to enter
my life like a man
claim what is rightfully yours
part my hair and see full moon

Tethered triumphs
in an ornate dam
she tries to tame a cascade
her hair tied in clutch
tethered triumphs sit smugly
head and shoulders above rest
The realm of reliability
has entered the realm
of reliability
our relationship
I weave new dreams – you promptly
unravel to disclose strings
Futile
futile trying to
defend a line drawn on sand
just as it is quite
senseless to close your fist to
stem the flow of sand through it

Karma’s quest for comeuppance
decided to foil
karma’s quest for comeuppance
and I succeeded
turned around to tell others
but found no one was around
Will humanity survive
separating kids
from families at border
is it justified
will some common sense prevail
will humanity survive
#Weekly Poetry Challenge – Week 101: Family & Survive
Beyond the ballyhoo
does not entice me
lifestyle of celebrities
nor adulation
I long for a simple life
far beyond the ballyhoo
