Invincible Spirit

You angry waves, you hungry waves
that assault her helpless nudity
lustful teeth bared, hands clawing
at her pristine innocence:
A Mother raped, her womb filled
with unwanted seeds, planted
in unwilling land.

Vain, oh vain your attempts
to tame the un-tameable,
This shame not hers, but yours,
Again and again her body you break
her spirit shines luminous, her triumph estates.

Tarnished Love

No Love, kiss me no more;
for I am sick to the core.
Our love loses luster
Like the waning Moon
and our time to depart
has come too soon.
And why should we love
with soft words and sighs
while the world around us
shatters and dies?
Blood, gore, anger freely flows,
 a river of destruction
invades our land
of false seductions.
Let us then go our separate ways
to live out our lives,as best we may.
To breathe and walk and sleep alone
Till time comes to enter our tomb.

Prayer of the damned

To your will make me bow, My Lord.

Long have I locked in battle-

mind against heart,

My wounds bleed in silent streams

my visage scarred and disfigured

with pride and anger,

I yearn for your bower of love.

Dissolve this ice, shatter these stones

to release torrents, to induce a deluge

that sweeps out my past.

The Hare and I

One day I was going to a fair
and on the way I met a Hare,
He shook my hand and bowed to me
and was civil to a great degree,
Hand in hand we walked a while
when all on a sudden he turned hostile,
Like a lion he growled and roared
and my earnest pleas ignored,
Bit by bit his visage changed
and then he went out of my range;
So now again I walk alone
and my heart in grief lies prone.

When you loved me

When you loved me and held me in your arms
the world was mine to command
at my wish flowers bloomed
and stars shone bright every night:
When you loved me and kissed my lips deep
all my dreams in my heart would leap
every day was new for me
and my life flowed carefree:
When you loved me and held my hand
what breezes said I could understand
I laughed and cried with such delight
and as it flowed, my heart would glow..  

My Plea

Give me back my lost world
my hours of happiness,
Give me back my laughter
my days of togetherness.
Far have strayed from our harbour
now waves surround your ship,
My little boat has no strength
Alas, it can't compete.
Whirling round in eddies
tossed from side to side
its hull an d keel broken
no longer fit to sail.

And Then I'll be Your Own

Make me the last thought every night
And the first thought each morn;
Make me the one who comes to mind
when things go fine
And the one you long for
When they go wrong;
Make me the one your eyes search
when you enter a room,
or when you walk down a road
you know I've walked on;
Make me the air that you breathe
and the food you live on;
Make me the soul of your life
And then I'll be your own.

Death of a Heart

Piece by piece a heart dies
an unsaid word, a thoughtless act
each a nail in its coffin
hammered in with averted glances.
And from the grave rise
voiceless cries of unavailing pain,
sucking out sap drop by drop
to leave an empty shell.
In a phantom world lives on
a deluded soul,
not dead, not alive
to sojourn on fringes sans respite.
