“No man is an island”
A wise maxim asserts
In this ocean of earthly ties
I’m an archipelago of many isles
On isle of friendships
Confidants know me well
Supportive, . . .

I smiled at the silver in my hair
Questioning the depleting midnight hues
"Some spilt from the pen, some moonlight bleached,"
"In seasons of yearning," they said
"Go peruse . . .

I enter the land of words often,
Eager to pluck the ripest,
Driven by urge to fashion verse,
Attempting a vivid message.
Michelangelo chiselled his "Boy David",
From a piece of misshapen rock, . . .

Celibate pens make good narrators
For Houdini thoughts submerged in ink
Freed of all trappings again . . .

Softer than silence an ache awakens
Buffeting placid routine
Unexpected things sweep down on wings
Caravans of hurts raise chaotic din.
Bringing outlandish paraphernalia
Betrayals, frustrations and . . .

Incendiary passion rummages,
Stacks of old dried views,
Sequestered long by raison d'être,
Inflammable debris, superfluous-
Spring-cleaning the mind periodically,
An exercise worth time . . .

English language has acquired a term,
From an event two millennia old,
Its' key figure a man called Christ,
With twelve simple followers-
Cinderella being no historical fact,
Easier for millions to believe the . . .

These mystical granules in my hand,
Trickle through cleft fingers,
Moulded and formed, this very handful,
Is animated in living creatures.
The creators touch, is stirring start,
For specific ratios to . . .

My eyes, pearl mongers disburse,
Liquid globes from lachrymal sacs,
Sprung out with emotional stirring,
Augmenting expressive depth.
A gifted twosome with thinking their own-
Seem sophisticatedly inclined, . . .

"Keep in touch," her remark at our parting,
Complimenting my eagerness,
A gesture well meaning probably,
Or cliché of social language
I'd compromised when life demanded,
As she had . . .

Face of the earth graffiti covered,
In advanced autumn,
Oranges, browns, shrivelled greens,
Absorbingly, abundant.
The wind, intricately bowls along,
Much like an athlete,
Tamed pigskins . . .

Gyrations of the fire made me smile
Insinuating alacrity
Methodically intent almost frenzied
Feeding voraciously.
The orgiastic feasting would too soon
Ebb in ferocity
Embers glow awhile bemoan

He who is home with the rolling spheres
Is at home with broken hearts
There’s hope and help for sighs and tears
For the wounds that sting and smart
If faith would be used as a wonder drug
And . . .

With a musical plink, announcing its departure,
The filament fused with a raw surge of light,
Plunging me endowed with vision,
Into world of the groping blind
Change was instantaneous,
Aftermath of a . . .

Unfettered from time's monotony,
Mind wanders a universe,
Where choreographed alphabet,
Dances as intricate verse.
Not every word can be grasped,
And expressed in rich fullness,
But the few, . . .

Love's a glamorous hypothesis,
Underlying premise is pain,
But the creed of its loyal patrons,
By choice have silence retained.
Lost love can bring devastation,
Transplant misery, festering in flesh, . . .

The mind is a subtle saboteur,
Inimical to my brighter side,
Stifles happiness, casually,
Permits doubts to saunter in and preside.
Swallowed pill of optimism,
This chronic sceptic detests,

Occupy the entire mind,
In monotonous queries of this aching heart,
Cadence of music begins to rise.

A lyre of many strings, . . .
