A Firefly's View - Micropoetry
#Micropoetry
Wavering panes of light
Reflected on sleepy lakes face
Darkened cushion of water
Gently rocking huddle of boats
To clanging bells of a temple
Prepping the Gods for the night rest
by the discarded lights
Flickering from lone street lamps
On a deserted lake bank
Sun Was About To Bolt - Micropoetry
Tossing on my pillows
I spied the dawn
Don a brilliant orange
Ochre hem peeping below
Mauve gowned horizon
Giving away her secret
Sun was about to bolt

Things Left Unsaid - Micropoetry
So much left unsaid
burgeoning, to break free
For today I did some talking
With my sneakered feet
Pounding out the tarmac
I spelt some out
In a crowd of runners
Unheard in the cacophony
thoughts aloud I dribbled
I withheld the ending inside
Indian Bride - Caught In Traffic - Micropoetry
#Haiku # Senryu
Scattering rectangular
Lights on concrete in twilight
Reflects a heavily decked
Pensive Indian bride
Being rushed to meet her fate
caught in traffic snarl

Gods Justice Hammer - Micropoetry
Just when we forget
Gods justice hammer
Heavenly earthquake swallow
Truant ego up whole
Earthly thrones wallows
Emptiness reigns

Kids Sports Day - Micropoetry
Bunch of burgeon yellow
Rise skywards in a golden canvas
Puffed exuberance bellows below
Tiny tots excellence personified
Balloons released on kids sports day

Hallucination - Micropoetry
Elusive like
smoke from
lit incense
Whirls lifting
skywards in whorls
slips my senses
through my fingers
a lost memory
vaguely stirs
this fragrance
Crimson O'r Concrete - Micropoetry
# micropoetry
Carpet crimson untrammelled blooms
Crochet of velvet o'r paved concrete
Weeps lone city bred African Tulip Tree

Whirlpool Of Anger - Micropoetry
A whirlpool of anger
Whorls inside outside
Universe swing'n out of control
Pivots on promises empty n naught
Spins venom spit on earth

Silent Screams - Micropoetry
In the shattered silence
Your deafened ears
Won't hear my screams
I'm a walled up rejection
Battling demons you raised in me

Me And My African Tulip Tree - Series
Sunlight toddling hide n seek
Netted high above in canopy
Waving waxy winsome weaves
Speckled sheets upturned leaves
Shades a million malachite green
Chanced upon a full basket
Crimson scarlet ochre blooms
Dreamily slumbering Tulip florets
Me n my African Tulip Tree

Life's Leftover - Micropoetry
Taste of bitterness
When you are
leftover - for dustbin
Sumptuous life's extravaganza
Devoured sucked bone marrow
By your own kith and kin

Day After Big Run - Micropoetry
Protesting purple
Blasphemy eloquently
Day after the big run
Wildly raging red
Bunion on big toe

I will wake up dead
and realize with pleasure
I've served enough time

Voice (2016)
birds repeat the sounds
wind wildly blankets through air
small creation gifts
from micropoetry.com (2016)
Hover
at the door waiting
to decide whether to step
out and melt away
or close the door quick
and breath stale airconditioned
coolness while alive
from micropoetry.com (2016)
Fortitude
disguised in the heart
a thick bitter reminder
of death's companion
stalking the pleasures
this old soul takes solace in
during the music
