Offshoot
The Rose in the bush
Never bothers of me
As she knows that
I am not in her family.
*[A Scavenger sees her walking on the balcony at the Manor and he thinks scarcely.]

V.I.P. Cleaners
We have a special soap to remove the stain of their clothes
after the election,
Also we have an expensive elixir,
If they need to destroy their dirty linen secretly?

Keep me posted
My platonic love,
Your post-date letter
Better address to Poste Restante
I am your skinny poor Postman
Never stay in one place
And I lied you,
I am not a Postmaster.

A lost love poem
Blind eyes write
To a dumb heart
And the soft crippled words
Crawl in the deaf atmosphere.
Scattered quicksilver
On the whispering grass
Evaporate in the mild Sunrise?

Haves And Have-nots
The same air they breathe
under the one sky.
They share the light & darkness equally.
The same water they use
but the money-tree
never grows
in their hard bitten soil.

Master! I am sorry that I asked a blunt sword
Not to behead innocent souls
Just to paste
Butter & Jam
On my daily bread crumb?
to my poet friend Don!
* A homeless sings beside a prominent Hamburger Restaurant.

A Grasshopper's grandiloquent chirping noise
I am the License less pilot of my little plane
And I realized the fuel tank is too small
To reach the World's end.
* A small poem-gift to my grandson for the New Year.

Wind up
If I am a feather
I always dream.
I can float in the sky.
Let the wind takes me to her destiny.
I cannot direct the wind
only I can adjust my sail
according to her will.

Priest's widowed beautiful daughter!
Her talking eyes
That speak of love!
But in religious manner?
And she put my precious letter
Without reading it
Into the confessional box!
for chaos1214 in gratitude!

Send with a sigh to elsewhere embattled friend
I wish him a long-life
Who idles with long johns.
He sees a long-range
The long-sighted and long-winded
Short looker-on
Search a loophole of this loose-leaf book of life.
