A snowflake dances in the air
Like a child running after its rabbit
Wizzing between chairs in living room.
…
A snowflake drops and melts
Like memories of childhood and
Grows into a rose next spring.
…
Memories don’t die
Memories are not forgotten
Memories melt and grow.

Beloved!
…
Aphrodite leaves the battlefield
After devouring her latest lover
Not the last by any means
But even Goddess of love
Needs her rest
And beauty sleep.
…
“Goddesses do not sleep”
Interrupted a rude man in the
Temple of shadows and faces.
…
Aphrodite sought a cool shadow
Sought aphrodisiac thoughts
Temple stood in her way
Long forlorn shadow lured her in the
Temple, shadows and faces and a lonely
Man greeted her into the hollow of
Bare walls.
…
He sits
He meditates
He forgets
He notices her
He invites her to a communion
“Dalliance”, she asks
“Serious”, he replies
Explaining the tantric ways of
Dissolving into Gods.
She laughs.
…
Love doesn’t need communions or
Dissolving.
Love needs a presence out of the
Shadows
Living through the eyes of a
Beloved.
Are you a beloved?

Silence fills the void
Starring at the horizon I see the
Line between my wall and the
Ceiling.
…
Caged horizon is all there is
I close my eyes in despair.
…
Fire … the fire place is lit
Horses gallop through the fire
Hallow sketched of light
Lines of brightness
Ridden by a mistress of
Beauty, unspoken beauty for the
Ages.
…
Athena … Minerva
I whisper feverishly and
Jump.
…
Athena … Minerva
I whisper feverishly spreading the
Books
Around me in circles
Few books left souvenirs from
Time gone
Time I cherished my Athena
Time of fading memory
Time I often spoke to Minerva
Laughing at my childishness.
…
She looked at me
Wide eyes
Beautiful eyes
Spoke in the voice of pain
Where is my Athenaeum?
Where are the candles?
Where is the soul of being?
Where is the heart of living?
Where is the joy, the pleasures, the
Intercourse in the wilderness of endless war
Body and mind
Where …
…
When the goddess of wisdom looks
Lost
What can a mortal do?
Withering both
Body and mind
Goddess lost
Frozen in time
Rejected
Fear and loneliness
Draw her beautiful face
Withering memories of
School days
Withering imagination of an innocent
Boy lost.
…
Would the lost goddess ever return?

So a hundred student lined up
For the latest kata the Shifu
Will demonstrate
The Sensei will dance the steps
The teacher, who is standing in readiness,
Will part with his knowledge
To the benefit of the lined human bodies
And suddenly
An explosion of noise
A laughter
A scream
Utterances of word noises
Incomprehensible
Behind the door
A thousand student line broken
They shutter
They scatter
The Senpi stands alone puzzled
The teacher is lost in the empty space
The teacher sits on the floor defeated.
Lesson concludes unlearned!

A teacher stands in despair
Another student leaves noisily
A chaos of restless bodies
Another question marks
The crowd lacking the listening skill
The same answer is given the hundredth time
A teacher stands in despair
Observing unruly class
Observing the disintegration of own soul
A shadow paces across the floor
The torturous hour is over
Another unlearned lesson done for the day
A shadow paces across the floor
To fading into oblivion.

Tell me something to last
She told him with the flicker of life in
Her eyes is dimming
Bleeding internals are sucking
Her energy into the
Dark matter of eternal sleep
Tell me something to last
She said and
He looked blankly back at
Her, his source of energy
His eternal light dimming.

A singular ray penetrates
My skin through a nano sized hole
Into the depth of my unknown
Is there a soul
Is there an essence
Is there me?
A singular ray penetrates
My skin through a nano sized hole
And lay the eggs of pain
Is that me
In the mirror, pale?
A ray
A silver lining
A shadow drawn in void
By the ray of pain in me,
I am, become!

Random Debt from the famous Guide
Showed up at his door
One day
Followed by the collectors of
Westworld on her heels
One day
Filled with shows one after the other
Empty time strung randomly into
One day
Pizza boxes, empty cans a
Continuation of strings
Binging on blurred TV
Days are compressed into
One day
Empty stares into a
Day filled with a suspended note of
Existence, a Sample
Simply Undone!

He arrived late to the party
Uninvited
In mayhem he cashed his cheque
He arrived late to the party
Undetected
In mayhem he found his chances
He arrived late to the party
Uninterrupted
In mayhem he collected
His ticket
His winnings
And left
Unchallenged!

He was a young man
A lonely soul
An accident took all those
He loved
The parents, the family
And left him
With a big heart empty.
He was a young man
A thousand miles away
In hiding, working hard
Behind his girlfriend’s picture
He hid his intentions
He built a clear picture
About a young man with inheritance.
They met seven months ago
Love bloomed
The empty heart has a source
Of joy to whom gave love
Both lost the family
They shared much more
Until tragedy struck!
He was willing to help
With all he has got
She didn’t want charity
She just wanted help
With inheritance beyond
The imagination except
Of a criminal
He was tricked
She ran away with the money.
Few months late he got her arrested
But she swore it wasn’t her
Their eyes met
They faced the truth
They joined arms
And faced the trickster
Giving him a taste of his medicine
By legal means!
On his day in court
He was denounced and sentenced
On his day in court
They were announced and cheered
On his day in court
They were thousands of miles away
From him already forgotten
New memories took his place.
