spectacle

the sun disappears
weird abra ca dabra
a total eclipse!
....................
combating darkness
scholarly bespectacled
poets like fireflies

...................
a giant cactus
prospers in adversity
a huge spectacle!
......................
miss universe crown
specific parameters
determine beauty!
.....................
calamity strikes
their dreams and hopes washed away
floods disastrous floods

homecoming

the perfect decor
the ambience of a dream house
but,simply not home!
...........................
they are the faceless
unknown david copperfields
wanting to go home
.............................
there is confusion
as her parents get divorced
a home is broken
.................................
one does understand
only in a foreign land
what home is about

[what home really is/ed]
.......................
the pet had been lost
many many miles away
but still returns home!

stairways

just follow the words
through the stairways of your life
to find a poem!
..............................
such a distant moon
whim's silvern sensuous clouds
my only stairway!
...............................
the 'godfather' laughed
stairways to the underworld
you never ascend!
.............................
every syllable
took me closer to a song
step by step by step!
.......................

folly

nothing else but you
elevated consciousness
the rest is folly!
..................
suffering from aids
unaffordable treatment
this folly does kill!
.....................
people die in wars
the dealers of arms prosper
thriving on follies!
....................
simply patenting
civilizational heritage
for trade is no crime!
.......................
two lifetimes don't earn
what's lost on a vegas night
the wisdom of man!
..........................
just to keep alive
die innumerable deaths
life ain't no folly!
