Valentine's Day

The mortal beginning of the day
is simple,
not overtly suspicious
or conspicuous
the newspaper vendor
throws it
on the windowpane
the Sun is as magnanimous
as it was yesterday
it is not present of course
in some places where it snows
when I love, it's all the time
at every fleeting moment
of self discovery
within me
if I am deceptive to myself
what will a day give to me?
I love you not because
it's' the right thing to do
and I don't love you less or more
depending on today's date
Nevertheless, the celebrated saint
needs to be celebrated once more
In the times of chaos
and climate change and politics of hate
this day of smiles and flowers
is gratifying to say the least

You are my safe harbour, my compass in the wild, my friend, my love, my vista   And when the night falls, and the stars blink awake, I will rise with you not above, not below, but besides, always besides, in the quiet grace of this boundless love.   And when the night descen...

On a special note (Haikus)

She crosses many paths And the Sun is down Her hands are curious Laughter reverberated with ease The sound of a window opening Sky is lit Love, an enigma She looks at her glasses Who is smiling now? Richness of the emotions The eyes look benign Realm of endless thoughts Great is the morning The book falls She touches her mind

Gloom

Blueberries gaping out of a black and white mug chiseled scraped clouds dissemination of a halo Gloom! Persecution of a perspective Shallow intercepts of void the eyes don't pop up on wit Gloom! Smile or a facade? promiscuous promises no more churlish fantasies Gloom! With a bang of sorts exuberance of a victim vivid experiences of certainties Gloom! No voice that sounds like the ocean a vacuum in reason a virtuous moral man Gloom!
