A flag flying high

Only the question
mattered more than the answer
Twined cause and effect

Common inquiry
A probe into grey matter
Symptom of the quest

Pillars of queries
Symbols of the need to know
A trace of lives lived

Myriads of half-truths
Sign of the times etched in blood
Reality blurred

Picking up the clues
Omen of a time gone by
Skies high in bosom

She survived inquests
Her mind a token of light
A flag flying high

Breath invoke

From between my ribs

Peace ad libs

Memory quips

Thoughts of hands sliding on hips

Photons backlash whips

 

Your eyes smoke

Blowing in the wind

Wafts of life

Riddled strife

Your nights’ struggles in between

Days of breathlessness

 

Mind to poke

Synapses connect

Heart erect

Fort inspect

Flags hoisted now lily white

No monsters to smite

 

Laid in den

Lions count to ten

Candlesticks

Canticles

The count melting icicles

Seventeen again

Their vision scorched me

Thousand soldiers of darkness

Of untruth their flag

 

Is this as it is

The sum of all our hardships

Walking on the knees

 

I roamed the deserts

My hair running its own way

Talks of centuries

 

My shadows cast light

In the silence of their screams

As the widow dreams

 

They hardened their hearts

In the name of freedom’s rings

As their chains tightened

 

Martial waverings

Their walks valleys of despair

As orphans huddled

 

The suns in me tire

Of the cycles of tales dire

Reinventing hope

 

The blind men will grope

Their hands panic stricken tools

Their hearts emptiness

 

Power’s not prowess

Only throne of loneliness

Rotten arm in glove

 

When I live again

Walk with me in the valleys

In the name of Love

Rebirth’s toil

Reinventing self

Gathering

The remnants

Low hanging fruit of cluster

Like diamond pendants

 

Aftermath

Resounding silence

Only core

Leftover

Remembering the absent

Decoration spent

 

A lifetime

Walking in penance

Hearts and spades

All just fades

Tricolour flag of clover

Hovers in game dreamt

 

Dealing rack

Falling through the skies

Like black rain

Hurried pain

The lashes bring back flashes

Of otherworldly

 

Thoughts to stack

Truth to tell from lies

When twin suns

Sizzle roads

Even dark rain quenches thirst

Of insides that burst

 

Seamless stitch

Metamorphosis

Don’t ask why

Walk Swim Fly

Change with the hammering tides

The meek soul abides

Moods broken

In rain-lit showers

Tireless strife

The orchard

Condensed lily white flowers

Their scent packed in mind

 

To be kind

Is more than a thought

The premise

Inner spin

In battle no will to win

Only outcome Love

 

High above

Flags of white flutter

In crossroads

The junctions

Preliminary choices

When you heed voices

 

Blue highways

They sizzle with cold

Marine flames

Suppression

The fight against oppression

Undercurrent breed

 

Beast you feed

Tames the known hunger

The unknown

A shadow

Growing in the undergrowth

Downtrodden old oath

 

Bear no gloom

The cells replicate

Ancient tales

Forgotten

Aerial messengers will bear

To the dragon’s lair

 

Chest to touch

Boon of loyalty

Kiss to blow

Seed to sow

The roots bear the majesty

Of heavenly bloom

Wherever

I walk to the hiss

Of nighttime

And ravens

I find bloodied safe havens

The riddles galore

 

December

It creeps into Heart

Ice and rock

Like playgrounds

Fitted with the snowbound ears

Readied coals’ embers

 

I colour

The dreams of the lost

Cast souls’ mast

Wild banners

My fingers know not the cost

Of lilies and smears

 

The white flag

Hovering like breath

Under tears

Play do me

Child clay a pool of dark fears

My music a sin

 

Wave the wand

Glory disappears

Magic wanes

Sugar melts

Truth around us how it pelts

Hail to story’s spin

 

Stir the pot

We cook what we dream

Stew and Heart

Spices art

Of broth and the melting meet

Pieces of our selves

 

Eleven

Moons in the wings’ folds

Seven skies

Greet my sighs

We sever what we know not

The winding footsteps

Steadfast is your Love

Through the oceans it survives

The turbulent floods

.

A Knight knows valour

Courage is his dominion

Love his only scope

.

Bear in soul our flag

Distant volcano’s thunder

It spells my Love. Hark!

.

Jesters may hop, dance

Their sight mere entertainment

Their presence confined

.

Only your pure Heart

Can feed to me the solace

That my Heart thirsts for

.

My arrow strikes straight

Cupid arms my Heart’s eyesight

With whispers of you

.

This bond outlives Time

Though I may not see your Face

You live deep in me

Love the greatest choice

A Heart chooses Heart

In a world where derision

Is erected flag

 

Life can be silly

Life can be a tragedy

Life can be witty

 

Love flies own colours

It heeds not the dark of day

Forever rides bright

 

Breathe I, breathe he?

Single lung within to share

The rasping of Time

 

Choices we do make

Unbeknownst to rolling stones

Gravity helps fly

 

Look upon mountain

The tilt in your heart provides

Smooth clean downward slopes

 

Breathe in then breathe out

My blood anew I will grant

In the name of Love

Sacred is in move

I will walk to your valley

Pray meet me ahead

 

Within or without

I will never bend to fear

None to sacrifice

 

Breathe he, breathe we?

Single Air within to bare

Purified by HeArt

 

Choices we do make

Unbeknownst to loving souls

Regret kills all joy

 

Life can be comic

To strip your heart off your smile

To dispel magic

 

When all spells are cast

Magic can only usher

Love the greatest choice

 

A Heart chooses Heart

In new World where only Love

Is ignited flag
