KINDLY MOON

How now kindly moon?

You full out the night with

Your enhancing round of brilliance:

Where there lovers 

Under your umbrage?

Silhouettes of passion passing

The time of drawing cobalt sky:

Any annoyance sated in sweet kiss

Of dark tree shadow

Then  further you to traverse

To a smile in the night blanket of sky

It was big of him to offer;

Such sentiments of camaraderie,

His smile spreading,


Like ready yeast

In a homemade bowl of dough

Good for the baking


They toast with aloe wine.

THERE BY THE LAKE
   She was reading about him. They had labelled him egotist. So wrapped up in himself they said. He didn't stand a chance. They all lambasted him. All of them.
   Were there mirrors about in that time. Did they have  to coin a metaphor naming his plight? Was it not the first time he had seen this fair face? The face of his beloved? The face that spurned him so, to pine for love until he withered and died right there by the lake?
   Are we on reflection being fair to Narcissus?  Did he know that the face in the water was his? Wasn't there the underlying factor of rejection and curse?
   She read on questioning the norm. And all she would conclude after contemplation was, how romantic! 
   Are we now to conclude that to her death is quite romantic?

UNDER AN UMBRELLA

How do i colour these rainy days?

Now that my palatte is scattered.

Now that my brush is loaded.

How do i colour the deluge?


Who will scold morning birds?

Do they ever sleep late, like we?

You can wallow on pillow mounds

Poo poo the downpour away


But daylight saunters in.

Cut me some slack, you plead.

Got to ponder raindrop peperomia.

Strut your butt under an umbrella.

Like A Hurricane by Capicotto from google

ALL HUMANS

Just after the dust, facing masked countenance,
The dance between heaven and hell.
Borders of bombs, and children
With faces stained of estrangement,
Bereft of the beauty of sunflowers,
Bold before evening's coming.

Isn"t this enough?
Enough is enough!
The lament of sinners only provoke
The howling winds of more distraught days
With roof and tree strewn streets.

Bring all humans: cowering , saintly, or brave
Morph them into superheroes for future days.
