Warmth

Yellow
mimosa grows
beneath the blue mountain,
lit by the early morning sun.
Birds sing.

Still

Still
silent
fingers write

volumes of absence.
The barren blank screen screams.
Turn the sound down, I can't think!

Joy

Rushing cold
glides over smooth rock.
Sun light catches
small stars dancing
across naked feet
paddling
at the waters edge.

Waiting for a response

Tell me how can I
shake your eloquent branches?
Make your fruitful words
fall to the ground where I wait,
hungry for your sweet or sour.

Canvas

Composition of light slowly squeezed
Acrylic dabbed and daubed
New image gradually emerging
Vision of raging tempest unfurling
Across taut woven white
Stormy sea pitching billowing sail

The khanjar

Deleterious dagger
crafted in Qajar.

Medial ridge running through
bevelled cutting edge
down to
honed thickened tip.

Etched into heavy steel
the intricate design of
birds, beasts and
occasionally man.

Welcoming spring

On
lucent
gossamer
wings fulgent in
my precious garden
nymphs spin golden trumpets
welcoming spring. Gentian bells
sway blithely beneath jubilant
incantations arousing cupids
ardent desire blossoming cherry pink.

Sunset sky

Gold
ruptures
shining pearl
splitting ashen
powdered nebula
languidly changing form.
Infused fuchsia wisps unfold
drowsily thread by thread trailing
athwart the resplendent crimson orb
seductively slipping into twilight.

Open

Do not hide in the living room
amidst the familiar and well thumbed

Open the door

Feel the air trace its fingers
along your face and hands

Open your hands

Breathe in

Open your eyes

Breathe out your
mark upon the day

I stepped out into autumn

I stepped out into autumn
the sight held my breath at bay
burnished dressed in copper red
against sky of purple grey.

The sharp sun glinted golden
perfect rainbow did display
I stepped out into autumn
and it took my breath away.
