Fungal moon-moon light on river where a lone boat rests

Fungal Moon and that Silly Wind

Fungal Moon growing like Conocybes The Sail of Silly Wind Ceased. The sail of silly wind ceased.Navy cloak-cover damps the sky.Sky palming the wet moon.Dripping. Slimy. Mouldy.Night sleeps under the blanket of rain.Turned frost.Wind, wondering how to cross the Cosmic sea, ether growing conocybes.The fungal moon. But onceThe wind treaded blithe,Roaming the permeating mystic,Fluttered the pristine, […]

Phantasmal-image of hand painted yellow flowers in blue background

Phantasmal Peace and Dream on Diet

Phantasmal falls on my Orthopaedic Pillow The Rising Sun Keeps a Triangle of Shine The rising sun keeps a triangle of shineOn my orthopaedic pillow,Shaping the window which allows its entry.Thinks it keeps my bones warm. I allow. Last night it was the moon who passed a joke Through her shining beams, in her ravenous tendernessExpecting […]

Pathetic dreamer-image of a lazy, turquoise sea

Pathetic Dreamer with no Escape Velocity

Pathetic dreamer-still to be born And connects us Snow white doesn’t travel the distance—It falls to its own weight,Only a thin layer of air circulates,And connects us. So we think. Air now teratogenic, heavyAs you grow inside me Ready to move,Still to be born,The womb cradles you,The way nature cuddles a storm, Thoughts pigmented are put […]

Punctured sky- liquid gold clouds cover a setting sky

Punctured Sky Bends the Night

Punctured sky-Where lullabies are Unwritten Stories Words now lost in the crevices of the sky Punctured sky bends the night– Words lost in the crevices of the sky Will one day fall as rain,Drenching the damp earth Where Lullabies are unwritten stories hemmed to a setting sky, They never burst in the seams,Slide ’n tinngggs like a few […]

Metro- image of light rushes as station passes the locality

Metro-In Station of heads life Dies

Metro-Where speeding life halts Pillar leaning on the staircase The pillar leaning on the staircaselifeless,Air’s lung a proliferating concoctionof tired breadths,Tiles fitted between grids carry storiesonly walls knowWalls of conduits, witness to human shadows diminished by nocturnal glare, Time 9:48pmThe last one moves in,The grid shakes,But earth doesn’t quake— Time to carry the dead. The apparition […]

Side walk-image of a light pillar with a crescent moon

Side Walk-Second Chance to frozen dreams

Side Walk begins where the old road ends Keeper of Dreams silly, fragile and gay Dreams silly, fragile and gay,Kept in a freezer come what may,Packed tight in silvers and zips alike,Making sure no one got a dime. Wished for it to open one day,Heated and served the old China way,Wrap it around like the […]
