I can feel the wind today,
stronger than ever
whipping away my tears
of solitude and loneliness.
...
Wilted the blossom
of planted dreams
out there on my
field of memories.
...
Thoughts quenched by morning dew
diluting visions of last night's dreams.
Sparks of daylight seeping into valleys
...
Silence withing, quiet from
sorrow and pain taken away
by the striking clock of spells.
...
Tired of waking
I long for the night
Undressing Shadows
Folding their gowns.
...
Moments frozen
eternities lost and
nations paralyzed.
Waiting for Godot
...
Thoughts outsourced
to Lululand, to places
texted and tubed in space
beyond birds twittering
...
Thoughts quenched by morning dew
diluting visions of last night's dreams.
Sparks of daylight seeping into the valley
...
Are you the painter
who fills the cracks
of my canvass with
strokes of colors
...

Arrival
Finally there
and within -
all of me and
more to come.
Shedding off
dust from
detours not
anticipated.
Tilling my
own gardens
finally for
my harvest.
