circles

a potter's wheel turns
the cups hardly understand
that someone's thirsty

just a broken cup
fondly picked up by someone
who undertstands thirst ..

twilight

golden suffusion
filled with the birds' harmonies
but that was morning

the day had to end
for that's when the cows come home
nothing like twilight ..

spectral

' flame '

a spectral darkness
where passions grope quietly
for the light of love

in the spectral light
of a flickering moment
all the darkness drowns ..

movement

standing still the tree
shades a tired traveler
moves into his heart

the liquefied soul
and its' journey to the eyes
is sometimes called love ..

~words
   transfixed
       on a journey ~

        ~immobile
             words
                 voyage on~

slowly

restlessly waiting
cometh not the beloved
moments tread slowly

intoxications
phantasmagorias
reach the truth slowly

a journey of notes
through the 'jazz fantasias'
finds a song slowly
..............................

  
in transit

.. love letters
                                        
       to the heartbroken

                 sent by snail~mail ..

['jazz fantasia': a poem by carl sandburg]

if only i had time

sorrows of the world
or the world of my sorrows
only so much time
..........................
a river of life
unerupted volcanoes
time is the referee

fading memories

a war in gaza
so many innocent kids
become memories
...........................
beyond memory
your electrical impulse
running through my veins
...........................
as dusk fades away
filled with the verse of sunshine
a page of the earth
.........................
if it's amnesia
and my consciousness forgets
this being would feel you
