Flying Roses

Flying roses sing

Blessed melody of red love

Nectar on her lips.

Nectar on her lips

He tastes sweetness of the rose

Divine time stands still.

Divine time stands still

Witnessing the game of hearts

Flying roses sing.

Over-speeding Line

(Image Source: http://www.pic2fly.com)

Over-speeding, she heard the line,
"Ma'am, you gotta pay your fine."
She got out of her car,
Took the cop to a bar,
And winked, "Would you like to be on cloud nine?"

Here There And Everywhere

(Image Source: http://www.layoutsparks.com)

Imagine

What if today

Our worlds meet, unite

Down the valley

Over the mountain

We fly, high, high, and high.

The angels gape in awe

The fairies sing and hum

The song of love, a feeling so divine

The moment of bliss when you step on the line

Rhythmic verses play to the tune

Even the Gods sing praise for that Lady on the Moon.

Here, there, and everywhere

This is so perfect, yes, our pair

We sip in the nectar through our glasses of wine

Smiles curled in harmony, your and mine

Dreams united, lips sealed with the kiss

Life is beautiful when you share it with me, Miss.

The Golden Tree

The golden tree bows

Weary souls seeking shelter

We loot and plunder.

We loot and plunder

Gold crumbles in misery

Tree smiles patiently.

Tree smiles patiently

Mockery of creation

Dreams of sand, dissolve.

Silence

Silence - a rare gift

Blessings of the sacred heart

Eyes speak out the words.

Fingers on your lips

Teacher shouts at the children

Now pin drop silence.

The kiss of passion

In the Garden of Eden

Lord smiles silently.

Silence of the Lambs

Hopkins - Foster masterpiece

The perfect thriller.

Silence rules my heart

As I wade through roads of thorns

You light up my world.

Reigning Wars

(Image Source: http://magpietales.blogspot.in/)

The houses burn in peace

Resigned to their fate

Gallant witnesses of futile war

Soaring over the clouds of ash

Days ruled by nights

Shrouding the moments of joy

Fatigued screams emerge

Sinking in deaf ears.

The souls dead

And replaced

With the adamant lure of power

Guided by seductions galore.

This house was once home

Of dream and faith

Is now broken shards

That pierces your souls

With an uncanny precision

Reminding you of the days gone by

When you played with your toys under this roof

And now you join hands with evil

To blow off this very same roof.

The toys hidden in dust

Lost and broken.

Hidden

(Image Source: http://www.clipartheaven.com)

What lies hidden

Does come out

The naked seeds cry

The apple revolts

It's killed

Cut into halves

The silence reverberates

Through the crust of my skin

My chest protects you

As these are your eyes I hide

Locked in the red casket

Which beats in rhythm

Every time you wink

The tears give me life

Flowing through the veins

Teaching me to breath

Where I adore your fragrance

I promise you would be hidden

Even though they may cut me into half

Tear me into pieces

But the lock wouldn't break

It would still sing the song

You whispered in my ears

The song of trust

The song of love

It would still dance to the melody

The melody of life

The melody of our lives.

Treat

A lady in the bar would frequently treat
This suave guy with her sensuous dance beat.
When the music stopped,
Together they hopped
Away to his suite across the wide street.

The Way Out

(Image Source: http://ermiliablog.wordpress.com)

I am trapped

As the coffin plays with my soul

Relishing the taste

Of lost love and hope

Shrouded in darkness

Laughing at my struggle

Each attempt, futile

The nails on my fingers

Melting in the sand

Eyes under the mask

Draped in misery, now wet

With tears that catch fire

Burning my dreams

The wax reminds me of the candle

Where I flickered once

Not too long ago

The flame now silent

In muted oblivion

Searching for the way out.

But is there a way out?

The Mud That Lies

(Image Source: http://abstract.desktopnexus.com)

The mud that lies

Beneath the sole of my soul

Reminds me of the path

We crossed in rain

Hand in hand

Fingers caressing love

Lips savored the brightness

Of the moonlit night

Where we traversed

Across million promises.

We endured pain

Deceit, false hopes, betrayal

And yet we were too weak

To fall off the cliff

Our hearts shattered to pieces.

If you walk there tonight

The shards of glass will shine in darkness

Neon lights calling out your name

Singing the song of our love.

I wipe out the tears
That glance in muted wonder
The pieces I collect
In my bag of toys
Memories play with my nakedness
And I stand vulnerable.

'Cause beneath the sole of my soul,

Is the mud that lies.
