Green eyes closed, she purrs.

Content with the moment - now.

Buddha-like, at peace.

Two Seasons



Peach trees on the hill,

Their blossoms will reach full bloom

Then will blow away



Now they are changing,

Bright shades of red and yellow;

The leaves will soon fall.



Dylan Potter (15 years old)




Daily Quote:
Through humor, you can soften some of
the worst blows that life delivers.
And once you find laughter,
no matter how painful your situation might be,
you can survive it.
- Bill Cosby

a bandage of words -
soothes the most heartfelt anguish -
mends ourbroken souls

~~
with lips softly pressed -
xternal distractions fade -
our souls locked in love

~~
how joyous the days -
filled with loves precious moments -
were it not a dream

~~
walking hand in hand -
affectionate silhouettes -
seek winters wonder

"A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness."

Rain falls pleasingly
archetypical monsoon
arrives with fanfare

~~~~~~~~

wash those skies
with your tears
paint them
with your mood indigo
And set sail

~~~~~~

In the shadow
of winter
sleeps the lily
certain
of spring


Serendipity

thunder squalls stole
the reds of dawn
with gusts of winds
painting the sky grey

~~~~~~~~~~~

frozen heart, breathless
in vacuum, i float weightless
in love, i know nought

~~~~~~~~~~~

A safe sanctuary
this tired heart desires
circle of your arms

~~~~~~~~~~~

in fragrance of wind
promise of summer rain
held out hope
for blossoms


Serendipity
(Neerja Pande Tiwari)

Rain rises, heat freezes, but
still the need is persistent
and will not relent.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The slave will rejoice
and praise his own effortless,
gray banality.

Lovers must wait far,
distant, alone, and cautious.
But hold on, keep faith.

-----------------

My lover’s soft sound
Caressed my mind in the dark.
Happiness filled me.

"Crystalline sparkles
Warm breath of body suffuses
Joy enfolds lovers."

"Blessings sprinkled round
This wondrous season of love
Filled with miracles."

"Snowdrops that tingle
Delicious cranberry wine
Sweet hot plum puddings."

"How slowly time flies"
Blue eyes, warm smiles, gentle touch
Longing is constant."

"Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got a hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
