Silent Spaces

Life is an unconvincing metaphor
Used against me with simile
Left begging for more.
But just the silent spaces,
Sharing time with anonymity
And impressionistic faces as company.

My Chocolate

Do you about my chocolate?
Her kisses sweet like Hershey,
Rolling through me like thunder
Every touch so tender,
She is my soft teddy bear
Her embrace pours love on me like rain
Pray the Future holds my Sweet Chocolate

Suicide heart

suicide heart be your e-name
but it is heart that prompts suicide
keep heart safe ins your cupped hands
Don't let it fall to break into pieces
Don't let it be stolen lest others break
so that you say then you are not suicide heart

My Color Of Holi

Let me cup my palms
to gather the petals
of your laughter
that my palms flow ever
with your laughter…

Let me fill my heart
with ripples of
your laughter
that the heart gathers
the floating petals
to smear colors on my cheeks

Absorbing the perfume of
your laughter
Let me offer my
perfumed being
back to you
just for once …

A Life Lived

Life of spite and defiance
To watch people tooling around on Mars
To celebrate the end of the last war
To attend the funeral of corporate personhood
76th wedding anniversary walking across the dry Ganga
Hundredth birthday drinking my age in pints of beer
Why don't you join me? Consider yourself invited
To throw a bushel of rose petals from the space elevator
Zero emissions ambulance sweeping me to the hospital
And I'll saddle up my Horse for the ride home
All bad things must one day end and so will I
