Waves

waves of hate

slams tower of faith,

city burns

~0~0

waves of despair, dust

warping eyes weak of hunger,

sips of vinegar

~0~0

water trickling down

rooftops to shallow basin,

flower blooms, waving

Doubts

doubts are like blue dust

covering your skin and face,

dead gold fish on bowl 

~0~0

dust off the doubts in

your mind, your words will sparkle,

even at the dark

~0~0

seeds of doubt
wrapping  fingers, hands, 
blank pages

Harbor

still waters, silence

glimmers over the harbor, 

drawn by hopeful eyes

~0~0

journey begins when

we leave harbor of childhood, 

sailing unknown land


~0~0


inspired thoughts, 
harbored reflections, 
verses fly

Deserted

emptiness stretched far 

shorelines deserted of birds,

bread crumbs turned to dust

~0~0 

palm trees drooping low,

listening to footsteps, but 

nothing whispered back

Eager

eager hands touching 

leaf broken from cider tree,
searching missing link

~0~0

hands clapping to beat 

of guitar tapping, trees dance    

in flamenco skirt 
  

~0~0

morning sunlight dips

inkblot into eager hands,

turning page to leaf

To the sea

take me to the sea,  
lay me down the sands


warmed by salt marsh snails and mottled weeds,
hollowed by the restless crabs and lonely footprints    


bring me far where the white gulls fly,
bonded to craggy rocks and cliff edge


then  


wash me in plumage grey,
wash me in sun webbed rays,    


my wingtips quiver for the sky   


  
Posted for D'verse Poets Pub:   Poetics: Patterns, Pictures and Poems - My writing is still influenced by Manoel de Barros's poetry. 


Everything from this place has a pact
            with birds.
Here if the horizon reddens a little,
            the beetles think it’s a fire.
Where the river starts a fish,
                        river me a thing
River me a frog
River me a tree.

Endurance

eyes behind thick lens,

he practiced long measured steps,

enduring silence 

~0~0

running briskly to

yellow line, endurance pounds 

one second harder

~0~0

there are no white flags

nor finish lines,  beginnings

draw out endurance

and Haiku My Heart

Monday morning

ticking of wall clock wakes me,
its rhythmic sound a reminder that 
every second, every minute is gliding by. 


alarm rings once, twice, (and thrice even)
admonishing me to follow my morning routine.   
i prepare breakfast of cold milk and wheat cereals, 
topped with blueberries and sometimes, sliced bananas.


house is quiet, this moment of peace is mine.
though the morning light is still very faint,  
i read poems and allow the words to inspire my thoughts, 
and take me into new journeys.   connected with myself,     


at 7:15 am, i grab my car keys, lunch bag and coat,
ready for my city drive 


another ordinary day, 
same road, same driving lane,
same scenery, same office destination.


i feel very blessed this monday morning.

Blue rush

waves curl in blue rush

rhythm of sea, crushed cubes in

raspberry cocktail   

~0~0

blue is the morning

sky above coconut trees,  

seaweeds tangling shoe

~0~0

she wears a green dress,

white hat for St. Patrick's dance,

winter blues fading

Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who celebrate it.
