Amulets !!

 Fragmented,hazy shadows  pan
the vistas of a tortured mind,
and startled by my nightly blues
lingering in these twilight hues,
I leave the memory far behind .
But he ,the dreamy, promised warmth
the saviour of this  icy day
softly pulls me in and, slow
those ancient glittering eyes a -glow
murmurs "I am here to stay ".
I  scurry ,clutch my dreamy ghost
cower from some fancied harms,
open portals ,unlock hearts
wake in fits ,sleep in starts,
then, fold into those outstetched arms...

Reach !!

Canvas of life by  invisible hands,
in colours of love,hope and gloom;
tears and thorns  where the flowers bloom;
flowing streams and shifting sands
pristine ,virginal,in hues of love
soaring high  on wings of dove.

Each breath precious,untiring eyes
feast upon the motely views;
rainbows frolic amid dewey sprays,
pots of gold seen through gauzy haze;
let gorgon-terrors bury in chasms deep,
dreamy  fancy  wings off to sleep.

Catch those dreams with your toils,
free thy feet from shackled coils;
quell the murky waters of doom,
let sunshine banish the misty doom,
fly ,! fly!! where the eagles dare
and joy is  ,yes ! it now is here.

Life's Spy....

A deep blue pond,a forest lush
a magic grotto,and someplace afar
a church bell chimes;
amid all this ,ah! would you see
 a crouching nymphette ,
langourous,dreamy and panting still
that  winged psyche of  torrid times

Fabric of her soul, a two toned cloth,
of golden weave and, weft of dross;
her raiment billowing,unfolding
 an  eloquent tale of truth and gloss,
of triumphant moments on wings of toil
of beating hearts ,of throbbing pulses
of blooming blossoms and  withering moss .

Bold in step and a kindred spirit,
fiesty, daring ,with   twinkling eyes
an elfin fay of  childlike joy,
dances tip-tap on rainbow paths
lambent, luminous and so, so coy,
she pauses ,starts, then grim, remembers
her youthful antics....and softly sighs.


She gently sways ,seeking balance
between poetic raptures and peasant toils,
 anguished ,lonely ,speechless stares
at broken  mirrors,at ashen fires,
at unkept dates at voices lost,
forlorn ,aghast ,then softly surrenders
to the heartless squeeze of tightening coils.

Adam .

Hazy memories,choked in thorns
smouldering ashes of yesteryears;
 a lucent fay,a forgotten dream merged
anew,a 'gold- filigree'd form;
rainbow -ribboned,gliding,phaeton-borne
to greet the new Phoenix,
shaking ashes,peeking through
the cob-web of gloom.
New wings of vigor,a vision
for the gamlet eye,to nestle
once again,in the jasmine bower
to bathe in the pearly-dews
of the golden morn.
That  Hadian-clanger, now a distant
sound;new whisperings of
 sweet nothings,to a shadow of the
past.A dream sealed with a fiery kiss,
a promised walk,in the garden
of  eternal bliss.........

Luna......Again !

Art thou then ,O love
that Knight in shining armour ,
wind chiselled ,willowy ,
piercing gaze, a soul-searing touch,
a distant star,standing apart
amidst the worldly din?
Thou ,who dances to earth rhythms ,
soul untainted by human touch,
 wings of hope outsretched
and  promises  an eternity?
Ah ! to drown in that pool of eyes;
to float in the gentle stream of your voice,
that disarming smile, revealing life's secrets,
 words,pouring in a thunderous
roar,piercing symphonies of verses,
raw and savage,far beyond the human ear.
Rich in mind,poor in coin,
a pauper with a midas touch.
And am I once more,
 a forlorn 'Luna' of morphed mind,
 veiled eyed,stealing a glance
at  'Adonis'....spellbonud and entangled
in that silken web;a deep longing to
rest upon a gentle bosom,
spilling  hearts' secret  woes;
lost in minds' labyrinth,
chasing 'luring words of love'.
Pounding heart  swoops and soars,
and ponders....who is this 'Knight'?
a friend?a savior? a destinys' child?
a mortal?or descended from the stars.?
With silent eyes,I bow my head
....in deep supplication;quivering lips
whisper,''You are me and I am you''.

Every lil gem that herein gleams
is a waltz and a sashay thru innocent dreams.........

The Storm Within

Raw fury unleashed,a potent punch;
giants trembling,lay snapped like twigs,
bending reeds' frenzied dance.
Secure dwellings,open rattlling doors;
frightened babes lay buried...
in consoling bosoms warm.
Jittery beasts,scurrying,whimpering,
in swirling whiteness,eyes blind,
piercing darts of angry winds.
Hapless unstable feet,
frozen wringing hands-pondering,
oh Mother...why quivering with disquiet ,
and,willing for the sanguine calm?
