Cotton blotched skies like wandering sheep suspended in the sea, threaten to drench the verdure in shades of grey, a sapphire haze descends upon the blades of gilded leaves, as another fickle summer is dissolved in the heat of rain. As the warmth begins to plot its final escape, I watch the daisies distort under… Continue reading Love Without Release
It’s great to have a view of a perfectly manicured lawn through chic French windows but then there is a certain unmatchable pleasure in the crude magnificence of nature which, I’m sure, no amount of perfection can beat. I’ve finally figured raw is far better than precariously tweaked – sometimes it’s good to let things… Continue reading Outside And Beyond
They who have lived so carefully all their lives will never know what it feels like to have summer running wild in your blood and they will never speak the language of the wildflowers blooming in your soul. To the prejudiced eye a feral heart is something far from exquisite and the wondrous call of… Continue reading Untamed Flowers
If sorrow be the commemoration of our love Then I shan’t remember thee. You will not be a souvenir, a keepsake Buried in the dust Excavated on cheerless days. No. You won’t be a mere relic of the past All the memories amassed Bitter-sweet They will not be the culmination of you. Should grief dictate… Continue reading I Shan’t Remember Thee

The valley before me resuscitated, As fronds and leaves popped into existence with rejuvenated effervescence. Perhaps it was not the swing in her hips, the coquettish grin or the skittish hint… Continue reading Iridescence
You did not leave me behind. I find traces of you in everything I do. So much so, that I am not I, I am but a part of you. So when I sway in the gentle breeze, it is you that the winds whisper to. And when I look up at the midnight sky,… Continue reading For My Father – Distance Deceives
Puckish winds tickle Leaves and petals. Blossoms giggle As cold waves prickle Their fragile spines. And your hands tease Under silken sheets. The soft caress Of a summer breeze. My body shivers. Like the swaying trees. Their branches quiver To the song of the wind And my heart, shaken, My soul awakened To your symphony.… Continue reading A Midsummer Night’s Breeze
(Of Mountains & Sunday Brunches)
Sobbing skies I’ve got the blues tonight So much love lost I wonder why? I hear leaves scream To flee their faithful trees As accomplice winds Sow seeds of mutiny. And I see waves rise To frightening heights Washing steadfast shores Without respite. Even the stars betray Come daybreak They slyly escape Leaving the moon… Continue reading Sobbing Skies
