Plead

trapped under the glass lid
of a
frozen ocean,
spring
pleads with the sky
to
untie the sun's arms.

Fountain Clock

Garden fountain /
trickles out
minutes /
then hours /

then time /
dissolves like
drops in pond

the moth and the light

A moth ~
wanders from flight ~
attracted to a night light ~
that loses its light ~
now
lost~
the moth and the light
share the dark

brand new clouds

care free wind borne clouds ~
their lives
be short and sweet~
always reborn new

Camera-eye

Little withered rose ~
its fragrance in
memory ~
of bright
shattered dreams

Lotus

beneath the water ::
rising up out of
the mud ::
a lotus bursts
forth

Petrichor ~the name for the smell of
rain on dry ground `and
we love

Romance of a butterfly

euphoria dances /
in the space
between second/
possessions of being /
a fleeting romance

Climate change

Cloud folds onto cloud /
Obliterating the blue /
Monotonous grey and green

Pie in the sky

dreams swept of conclusion ~
sunny dawn sidewalks ~
dancing under rainbow
canopy

Wayanad

streaming through dark trees
rays of sunlight cascading ~
dancing on the ground

Vandalism

Fresh primulas give /
Colour splash in raised garden/
Easy vandalism

Crow.Morning

crop of crows /
edged the rim of dawn /
scattered sleep

For a flower

The blooms need a crop /
The heads of dying flowers /
I am down

Dove

she sits tosses crumbs ~
feed her dreams chirp birds coo doves ~
they lend her their wings

Moisture

sticky fine dew-dropped ~
net reaching across dark sky ~
holding life's essence

Honey bees

Flowers have party /
Dressed in best, vivid colors / Welcoming guest bees

mother earth

Earth monsoon drenched ~
to inure herself from pain ~
grows a cover green

Persian bird

we bribe the wild birds /
to come share their songs /
of Persia and other countries
