Melancholy of Innocence

My Veil of Life
Is colored with LOVE

Everyone insists, but...
How can I remove YOUR LOVE
From my life's colors?

How can I face the world
That looks down on my LOVE?

How can I go back home
Who insults me for LOVING?

How can I look into the eyes
Of the world that
Humiliates my LOVING YOU?

The society calls
My life sinful
Just because I LOVE YOU

Yet for the first time
I feel blessed of being really "born"
Since our LOVE happened

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten everything about
Life, living and work

Since OUR LOVE happened
I've forgotten the vows and
Promises I took to earn
Success, status & wealth

My eyes are set on my BELOVEDz
Now how the world expects me to
Toe the line of their
Rules, laws and traditions?

Today I say this to the world:

Life is sinful without LOVE
This life has only taught me
Illusion and delusion of living

It is YOUR LOVE...
That freed me up from fear
That taught me to REBEL
Against the cruel enslaving world
Against my own self - EGO "I"

In our LOVE, we stand together
In our LOVE, we stand tall
In our LOVE, we got a spine
In our LOVE, we self-introspect
Within each other's SOUL

Our veils of Life
Is colored with OUR LOVE

Let us splash our life
With RAINBOW colors of Our LOVE

Sweet Slumber

She's evasive at best,
I beg her nightly,
Come visit me, please,
My body is tired
And my mind is too,
I need her here,
I need the velvet pillow of release,
Release from consciousness,
Just one night uninterrupted,
I long for her,
I long for sweet slumber

When ones mind won't stop stirring.. Over thinking and pondering to the extreme

The Bird and Cathy

The slices as delicate as her hands
had aroma of her love

her eyes deep ocean
made me forget my space

I slept on her touch
and she loved to touch me.

The beckons to be free
I dealt with her *****
and tears were her answer
when I tore apart the bond.

I loved her
but needed my rightful home
among the stars.

Like the last year, I begin this with a children's poem, or nearly one.

Happy New Year friends, I'm blessed to have your company.

Sheets of Drizzle

In the sheets of drizzle below the autumn cloud
eyes beaming with the glow of love
wave at the receding figure
to the farthest visibility.

The man leashed to the cubicle with the screen
would think of those faces
when the day is at its broadest invitation
and light like the luminous ether
fills every dark pocket of the land
listening to the rhyme of the clock
from his abyss of ratios and rates
while the vagabond clouds come together
and break apart in the game of revealing blue
painting new faces and waving hands
on the landscape of the gate
up to the farthest turn
in the sheets of drizzle
beneath the autumn clouds.

Haiku

I thought I felt you
Alas it was just a dream
Now I lie alone

Stake My Claim

If I took a cup of water from the Ocean,
Would it notice?,
I would, I’d know ,
If I stole a snowdrop from the ground,
Would the earth know?,
I would, I’d know,
If I stake my claim over your heart ,
Openly ask before taking,
Will You allow it?,
I stake my claim before you now,
Will you?,
Be mine until the last ocean runs dry,
Until the final snowdrop dies?........

Trip to the Moon (The Emperor's Clothes)

All I wanted to do
Was go to the Moon
It's where they all said, it was at
"Why, it was amazing up there!"
It was the place to go
The place to be
You just had to go there
It just had to be seen.

So! So I went to the Moon
And they all smiled at me
And nodded their heads
"Isn't it beautiful ?", they all said
Yes, I replied, it's... it's beautiful
It's just like... like a great big
A great big...... Quarry!!!
Lots of rocks and shale and dust and
   stuff...

About as empty as my soul
And empty as yours as well I fear.

                          II

(Maybe I could set up a hamburger
   stall there
Sell Moonburgers and nice crispy
   Saturn onion rings
And Milky Way milkshakes
At least then...at least then they'd be filled with something).

I was reading somewhere where some celebrities wanted to be the first to book their flights to go to the moon. Someone was planning one day to have a commercial route to the Moon. Now I'm a big Sci-fi fan (what would have become of us without Captain Kirk & Mr. Spock when we were growing up). But I wouldn't cross the road to go to the moon LOL.

Burger Bike

Fast more fast and a faster drive
Speed not kills but saves his life
Reach quicker and deliver more
Matters only numbers of door.

Someone's son someone's heartthrob
Forgets all when ******* job
Quick quicker on quickest mode
Bike wheels burn on asphalt road.

In lanes bylanes must find address
Can't afford one small recess
A brief meeting and end of deals
Pocket bunched with paid bills.

Around moon is a haloed mist
But night is one cruel beast
Won't let him look above
Think of a poem sweet in love.
