Alibaba of my mind hid the donkeys fed and tied

waiting hidden for the thieves atop a tall juniper tree...

ears attuned sharp

to catch the stomping of the hoofs afar

raising dust and terror along

Alibaba of my mind

still clung on

in the lure of treasure laden promises

of the mystifying cave below

opening to incantations yet unknown to him...

let the fable mesmerize

the Morgiana in me

daring yet to knife the thieving goons away

dancing to the zither in Alibaba's dome...

take these crayons

draw an orange sunday

with vert lime grass beneath

aqua green waters

and silver blue skies

paint my soul in hues of purple

and my heart in deep red

and paint you next to me

perfectly posed...

aging wine, i so envy you

for i'm a mere perishable woman

high in spirits

you with your spirits

turn all moments of perishable feelings otherwise

oh! wise glass of wine

such beauty and color

that mortals seekth evermore...

friend,

this song too will have been wind blown away with million others

i am steeped and barreled in obscurity and forgotten

like the cheap tardy wine,

friend,

have you reached higher planes?

has there been more clinking up there?

did the fluted crystals shine in splendor unseen?

i once had the glimpse of heaven up there !

greater vistas you may have conquered.

i long for stories ...

still of mightiness, wisdom and light hearted merrymaking

and in my dark oaken barrel

i'm further fermenting

richly colored and in abeyance.

friend,

once the words and the deeds had touched my heart

i no longer long for things that are not there

yet i long,,, i long in frail motes of strained melody

of foolish poetic high

knowing still that its

only time who am to wait upon

none but time...my friend.

dolphin and me

often into my dreams
wanders a dolphin
pale blue in color
that does cartwheels
on the surface of marine blue waters
fins flapping
chopping waves
dolphin in my dreams
splashing water at me
pulls me down into the blueness
in innocence filled with
wanton ocean rides in abandon
The dolphin in my dreams
out there skimming the embers of the horizons
catching yellow sunny sprays
the purpose i sense
the freedom within and without...
in my dreams
another hazy pale purple shaded early morning hour
when moon still hasn't lost her glory
new born I'm once again
running eager to my mate
waiting on the waterlines
of the blue green bight in my dreams
pretty mermaid i turn into
adorned in corals and rainbow pearls
leaving the earthly plains and pains
on the shore behind
for foamy waves to bury deep
into the sandy grains
in my dreams...

ഞാന് ഈ കാടില് തനിയെ ഇരുന്നു കൊള്ളട്ടെ
എനിക്ക് ചുറ്റും മരങ്ങള് വന്മതിലുകളായി കാവല് നില്ക്കുന്നു
എന്റെ ശ്വാസം എന്റെ ഹൃദയം കേള്ക്കുന്നു
ഈ താളാത്മകമായ അന്തരീക്ഷത്തിലെ രാത്ഞ്ഞിയാണ് ഞാന്
ഇവിടെ ഈ വനാന്തരങ്ങളില് ഒളിഞ്ഞു നോക്കാന് എനിക്കൊന്നുംമില്ല
എല്ലാം എന്റെ മാത്രം.
