GRAMMAR

Only the love-birds will know
it was time of inquisition.
There was a lot of prodding in
the neighbourhood.

A voice without sound
was resenting with guilt-virginity
and the bell tolls
for a zero hour.

The entrusted trust was
still moving off the transparency.
Was it not a weird night?

The newly hatched babies,
jutting out their necks
from their clay homes were
to know the roots of verbs.

By their choice (cavatina sequence) (in answer to John Donne)

By their choice once perfect happy beings
as Lucifer,
Adam and Eve lost immortality,
they did offer
jealousy, self-centredness, evilness
and did transfer
their loyalty away from selfless love;
their trust, security they did remove.

God’s laws, his loving character was clear;
disobedient,
in rebellion and eating from the tree
most deficient
as if not knowing Him they did become;
God omniscient,
had in place a faultless salvation plan
to come to the rescue of mortal man.

Lucifer and his angel followers
did not want it,
they wanted to be gods in their own right,
some bit by bit
more evil, unkind and cruel they become,
they were not fit
to live in love, harmony or in peace;
hatred, evil was a spreading disease.

[Reference: “If Poisonous Minerals” by John Donne.]

Vision

Unfortunately visions are sometimes false
and still Michael stands against Lucifer
and like everyone knows
everything is measured up
in the battle between light and darkness

and still Gabriel is the envoy of God,
while Lucifer remains the dragon, the snake,
the angel that had fallen to the other side,
the one who wants to drag the whole world along with him.

Let people believe falsely
that Lucifer is the light bearer
and the redeemer of the world
and that he brings knowledge
and that people will become gods.

Let the son of the dawn believe
that he can resist any fire,
that he can win against an omnipotent God
and let people unknowingly
pray to the sun and moon
while my God sits in judgement
and will be bringing a fire
that even devours demons.

Still His love is unlimited
and stretches out wider than His whole universe
while forever His words remain true,
as my God is the only true light
that brings brightness
in a world that is apostate and dark.

Falling in sin (cavatina)

After rebelling, against the Creator,
falling in sin,
Lucifer and his evil companions
did enter in
our world to devastate and destroy;
from the begin
their deception brought only death and pain,
and to this day like this it does remain.

AGEISM

a pervasive bareness
walks like an honest lie
on the road to truth the bone white marble
god oversees the planet green's woes
a climate change of heart its manipulations
its intrigues

something remains unsaid when i look back
i think again before i disappear between
bread and god whosover is stronger
than me i remained unchained distrusting
the rules laid down by hoaxes now i
am not me

i am not a god i am not a thought only
innocence of an unopened bud.

I saw a thunderbolt exploding

I saw a thunderbolt exploding,
hitting a tree and splitting it,
cleaving it open from top to roots,
causing it to fall down trembling,
throwing off some leaves,
some of the knotted weaver nests
and screeching those little birds
were flying in fear and amok.

The sky is bedecked (cavatina)

The sky is bedecked with the stars that shine,
the Milky Way
shot-gunned with millions everywhere
in their display
gleaming, glittering white, green, blue and red
quite far away
but feeling as if you can only reach out
to pluck some jewels where they are about.

While the mist swept in (cavatina)

On that morning dull white the mist swept in,
the small boat-house
in dark colours protruded at the lake,
his loving spouse
embraced, kissed him drawing him close,
startled red grouse
shot up from the reeds in great amok,
a boat on the lake did up and down rock

ONE SIMPLE DAY

For honour killing
twilight adulates an abstract faith.
Tainted?

Now that mouth was shut
and butterfly was pinned,
will you grow the marigolds?

The empty book was not breathing
in a crowd of words.
The bitter meaning had flown away.

The mountain will cry now
in the absence of birds.
Trees were shedding their leaves.
