Time and Space
Just past the ordinary,
The road becomes obscure
where space defies
Three dimensions
And time surpasses four...
My presence is an illusion
Constructed by the eyes
To make my person visible
While I remain inside...
Energy That is transparent
Creates change with response,
Elicited from the living,
Dialogue of the spirit...
Transformation bears momentum,
Focusing for a while,
Lingering on something
Made substantial

A Royal Falcon I Am
A Royal Falcon I am,
But now badly hurt...
O Royal Falcons,
My faithful friends,
I am calling you
From the depths of the valley
To come and rescue me
For I am lying down here
With broken wings...
I went higher than the limits
And fell, I miserably failed...!
No more I do aspire
To take another flight
Until my wound is healed...
Here I am, motionless
Listening to the echo of my dreams,
Until you take me back
Up the skies to fly with you
And finish the journey

A Love's Game
Once you were the moon
And I was the sun,
I was a gardener
And you a beautiful rose...
You were the diamond
And I was the ring...
Two bodies, one soul
Great moments we shared
And I still recall...
The time we spent together
Was not a waste of time at all...
For one reason or another,
Love became a game,
Strategies were not exchanged
Since it was just your game
You tried to drive me insane
But little did you know
Things drastically have changed
For, I am far from being the same...
Now, we are heading some where

When The Poet Has Spoken
So, again you say it never happened
And plea for my insanity
When you could not admit
Your emotions were twisted
To suit your own needs
While making mine forever secondary
As if only you had wings
Which fell off from a missed opportunity
and had clipped before the spring...
Many paths have been broken
And chances clearly undertaken,
Still, the sun shines on above
Upon even those paths man has forsaken,
But still, he has God and his love,
He is the poet that has just spoken,
Feeling the pain of a broken wing from a dove
That can no longer reach the sky...

Echo Of A Poet
'Always speak your mind and stick to what you think is the truth'... Time will one day vindicate you completely!
My actions throughout times clearly show who I am.
My muted written words give me away
And the Mask I am wearing today
Is the only one protecting my sanity and calm
This is the same mask I was born with one day
And is carrying my unique slogan that says:
' Love and Peace for always!
A phrase stamped yesterday
And still fully alive today,
Remaining so until I am forever away!
This is the soulful echo of a poet!

If You Ever Remember
If you ever remember
That I was the first
To love you with great passion...
If you ever remember
That I cried so many times
Whenever I saw you going away...
If you ever remember
That I only offered you
Just possible things...
If you ever remember
Not what I had, but
What I was and still am...
If ever remember
That in life's pathway
I have placed my hope only on you...

The Wings of Time
The wings of time
Never stop flapping!
I left no words
Of where I had gone
Or where I was going
Or what I was to become...
Watching the time of day
Carry me away Into infinity!
In constant motion,
I plead for patience
But time ceases
For no one...
At least of all
My subsequent will
Who kneels
In humble submission
To divine law...
The rhythms of nature

When I Have The Blues
No word remains with me
Long enough to call my own
And as soon as it is repeated,
It is forever gone...
If it is my intention,
I might strike the proper note
And set the air quivering
With a heart-ache's antidote...
But love has wings to fly,
Fluttering things take take the sky,
Scarcely a moment on Earth
Dabbling the air with mirth...
Joy will soon run away
And you cannot capture it again
But you may hold in your palm
A feather pricked today...

Acrostic for a Poetess
M ortality again making its presence be felt,
A nnouning the end of suffering and pain,
R eservoir of joy now in the past buried,
Y outh well lived but short-changed...
M oments of ecstasy wished never be gone,
A fter the glory of life had perished,
R eminiscence of the poetry world,
T ransperancy through time proven,
I ndex of life now with a missing page,
N o knowing who may follow you next...
R emembered you will be for always,
I n peace you have gone now to the unknown end,
P ermanently leaving your hove and wisdom behind!

When I Feel Lonely
When no word remains with me,
Long enough to call my own,
And it is as soon repeated
As away from me flown,
I ask myself,
Was it my invention?
I might strike the proper note
And set the air quivering
With heart-ache's antidote
But love has wings to fly,
Scarcely a moment on earth,
Fluttering things take to the sky,
Dabbling the air with mirth...
You cannot capture one
Or joy will soon run away,
But you may hold in your palm,
A feather pricked today...
If love seems out of sight,
Recall a tune or a word,
Sliding down an aura of light,
