In the afternoon the wind brings the dust
clouds of it come up from the valley
to invade the silent streets
small animals hide in crevices
now we are all hunkered down
awaiting the quiet of dusk
In the mornings I walk the range
where the air is clear and cool
the city below glimmers
its metal rooved armor
protecting it from the glare
I toss a rock to the gods
and it tumbles out of sight below
shaking the cacti in its descent
this very afternoon the rains will come
then the hard spirit is lifted
with the quenching of the dust

Long to be in good shape long to be in good health
Long to feel good each and every day
No matter what the situation might be of my wealth
Long to be with good friends
Long to be where excitement is just around the bend
Long to be where I can suddenly feel a gentle summer wind
Long to be at a cafe where the piano music makes the food taste great
Long to be there knowing you might be few minutes late
Long to be on a first date as she arrives a few minutes after eight

To this song, amongst some others,
will you take my hand and dance with me ?
To feel your cheek against mine,
to graze your skin all over my own, Sweetie,
as you whisper love's timeless endearments
as sweet and deep as aged red wine ...
Will you dance with me slowly,
.... as you gently pull me closer...?
As I feel your beating heart so near,
when my own starts to flutter ever so faster ...
Will you dance with me
as you become my dearest Darling ... ?
When I sometimes will
that I could make Time stand still,
and just bask in your loving
which to the deepest part of me
blesses with indescribable thrill ...
Will you dance with me to this song
and some more other ...
so through the years , this flame in my heart
will not flicker out but, instead,
grow all the more stronger ...
So as I live through my life's remaining chapter,
I can put a period to its last sentence
with the sketch of a heart , in memory of my times
with my dearly beloved lover & partner ....

Seems like just yesterday, I wandered astray,
Caught in life's bittersweet journey, lost in disarray,
But lucks gentle hand intervened on a fateful day,
And there you were, my newfound heart's array.
In a crowded place, where strangers fill the air,
Your eyes thought they saw a spark so rare,
Senses heightened, the world faded away,
your words, to me spoke more than words should say.
With every exchange, a simple truth unfolded,
The immediate connection, relentlessly emboldened,
We're charting new territories, casting away doubt,
The undeniable pull, there's no turning back now.
Chance serendipity, destiny or fate
Our souls collided, time suspended in space,
A cosmic dance, an intoxicating trance,
Oh, that lucky meeting that bestowed our chance.
Together, we now dance on this tightrope of fate,
Bathed in the glow of love, forever we'll vibrate,
Oh, lingering serendipity, our hearts forever entwined,
Maybe testament to the beauty that destiny designed.

Love's procession high
the carnival train returns
turning of the wheel
Sketching in the dust
mountains and rivers abound
two birds on a stone
Meadows in the spring
a golden hour of blossom
fragrance on the wind

In the rhythm of the universe, the night unfolds,
A tapestry of stars, a story to be told.
Its celestial ballet, a grand choreography,
Passion's dance of darkness, a divine symphony.
In depths of indigo, secrets are kept,
As Luna's soft glow, our dreams are swept.
Her silver beams, like whispers of desire,
Caress the earth, igniting love's own fire.
The night sky, a canvas, painted with grace,
Galaxies swirl, a cosmic embrace.
In every twinkle, a lover's vow,
With each pulsar's beat, passions avow.
The moon, a luminary, in love's embrace,
An eternal witness, to each heart's chase.
Its crescent smile, a lover's art,
A beacon guiding, from the start.
Beneath the night's veil, emotions bloom,
In the shadows cast, hearts find room.
With gentle sighs, the zephyrs play,
As night unveils its mystique display.
The universe's rhythm, a lover's plea,
In every quasar's flash, a mystery.
The passion of night, an enigmatic spell,
In cosmic silence, hearts compel.
So let us dance, beneath the stars,
In night's sweet serenade, no bars.
Embrace the universe's grace,
And let love's rhythm find its place.

How can I make this up to you
An old woman called Gaia
I took from you all I pleased
More a robber than messiah
Finding a field full of treasure
A drink from your fresh brook
From the nectar of your bees
The honey made of your flowers
I washed in your cold streams
I dug into your fertile earth
Planting a vineyard of pleasure
I caught fish and trapped game
Cooking them over an open fire
I nourished my body, soul, and mind
Never once did I pay for a thing
Because you were everything to me
Everything I would ever need
Now I look back and wonder
Whatever happened to my plunder
For now it is my turn as well
To give back as well I can
But there is nothing left asunder
Just a life that has perished
When all such life so flourished
Now only the orange smoke haze
Drifts over darkened charred remains

Is their is any one to Love
Is their is any one trust my Love
Is their is any one to feel my feeling
Is their is any one to bring my Lost Love to me
Is their is any one to feel my Pain as his own Pain
Is their is any one to bring me out of Dark
No no Come with me to See the Light
Come with me to feel the Love of Soul
Darkness is why Dark
It has no Light that's why we call it drakness
Come with me out of the drakness
I will show you the Light
The Light of Soul
The Light of Spirit
The Light of Love
The Feeling of Pain n Sarrows the Feeling of UnLoved.
You will See All
Which I Stated Above
In the Light of Soul Spirit and Love

Is it time for seasonal reflection?
but no not on this day
I am the Sphinx in the desert
facing the ever sun
with beauty in the sands
so they say, but for me
a rogue on the road
I have no pure thoughts
to give elegance to a message
the blue winds blow through me
shallow and with contempt
wisped away as the days
shorten to fine blades
whirling laterally
until up on the heath
creatures move in the hollow silence

I feel a burden in my life
Having no one in my life
It's too hard to wake up
Seeing no one by my side
Request for a lady to come
Into my life to be on my side
I will feel satisfied to have
A loving wife may be from
Long distance but generous and kind
I will take care of her
As she takes
care of mine
She will live in my heart
I will live in her heart
She will never feel bad
As I will be her husband
Never she regret
To be by my side-by-side
Love is forever when it is from both side
