Dark awakening

I woke up after thousand tales

Seeing the earth frail and fail

What have you done to it

What have you done

for your fiendish churlish fun

a million years were wasted

when fossil fuels were tasted

by vampire of human greed

Evolution or annihilation,

only history will judge

two hundreds years carbon smudge

Holding a grudge, against your own

created from the green watery womb

now roaming uptight, arrogance aplomb

forgetting not so distant past

sapiens imagining this will last

forever. And forever more

weakened limbs are sore

and may give up trying to

defend indefensible, reprehensible

act of a kind, only humankind

are able to unleash on its mother

Jubilation

Flute creates a song
Birds sing their hearts
Feet just don’t stop
Let’s dance with Darwish
And whirl with the earth
Days become nights
Night become days
On their feet,
everyone stays
Angels dance
that never ends
Celebration just
extends and extends

Patriot

Sense of belonging, longing and pride
One country in disarray, another one decides
Wars are fought, blood is spilled
Blind patriotism, numerous killed
Oath of allegiance, to Queen and the shire
Criticism treason, consequences dire
All but for the country of your birth?
Wake up humans, you belong to Earth

Setting

Write about the universe
the earth
Illusions
Your dreams
Whatever doesn’t seem
Talk about love
Chance encounters
Such as ours
Life, passions
Relations,
Creations, compassions
Talk about the present, and the past
Who and where it lasts
Your admiration and loathe
What pains, who soothes
Whatever comes, let it flow
river in the sun’s glow

Nature

A long winding way,
to trees so tall
Through their leaves
centuries’ fall
Birds chirping,
Wind wallow
Animals grazing,
Pond is shallow
Hours few!
fog and dew
Mystery mist,
just insists
for green heaven
follow the path
Return this planet
To its birth
Or be ready
for a charred earth

Alone in a crowd

Feeling absolutely lonely
with hundreds around
Unspeakable conversations
Forgetful sounds
Life could have been better
if lived as a hermit
Jungles, dark deserts
No pretence, no permit
Animals real friends
Trees companions true
Winds carry wishes
Earth protecting you

Traps of glittering sand

Hope trapped in
minuscule crystals
translucent image
of what remains

still and will be seen
for teaching a lesson
for generations to come
I was the mason

created quicksand
someone didn’t land
so soft so beautiful
can’t waste such mastery

a sacrifice made
a price was paid
my sweet darling hope
was trapped instead

forever, infinity
no even divinity
could rescue, such
is the genius of its creation

now I roam the earth
mocking with mirth
cursing the birth
of universe and time

unable to cope
such is the effect
everlasting defect
of losing hope

Priorities

If life is a race
to the top
you realise
conceptualise

doesn’t really matter
how much you stall
at the end you fall
Gravity pulls hard

all what ultimately
logically, if unwilling then
sometimes tragically
belongs to earth’s bosom

pick a colour
from soul’s prism
as long as it has love
humility and care

take your time, dig deep
for a perfect spot
to lie in loving,
embrace of our mother

Pipework to heaven

scaling inch by inch
slowly, gradually, moving
since I reached the nadir
the only way is up
these helping angel hands
extending beyond their reach
Lord could impeach
them for my mortal sins
kindness sometimes comes
from least unexpected places
soft, smiling, gentle faces
and I am deeply thankful

Wish you were here

In memory of a loved one
the day you left
whole town wept
last rites don’t apply
as angels just fly
patience, care
Love immense
life after you
made no sense
who will now
calm me down
let me wear
that intellect crown
time has passed
since I have seen
that smile
that laugh
most beautiful heart
ever been
years pass
images degrade
those memories
however
never fade
heaven will have
a great party tonight
as soul of the world
celebrate in style
we on earth are
missing you
on your birthday
kissing you
in milk honey streams
in mad laughter screams
in every moment dreams
