Childhood

 
 
train rides south
mum missing dad
oblivious, we only enjoy
our moving playground
measured independence
 
childhood moments

murder on the orient express
mysteries of grey blue eyes

hours of escape

childhood read

Bill's post takes me to the time at least 40 years ago. Dad was a manager at a timber company. We had to venture hinterland to see him.
 
The train ride was at least 12 hours. North. South.
 
At least I thought so.


the philosophy of abstaining



fast, to appreciate hunger
compassion for your fellow mankind
food plays with the senses

delectable

abstain from your deepest desires
and your existence will
be pure pleasure

delicious

take a vow of silence
you will find words
too precious

distinctive

disappear from the online world
for awhile, you will see clearly
the best of the best

dverse

today I celebrate Eid, after a month of fasting. And our dear Brian, is back within our fold after many months of staying away. hence, the above poem.


Words




lover of the night
folding poems 
in a blanket of stars

daughters of the sun
drinking legends
for breakfast and tea

mother earth
milking passion
dreams on the milky way

passion legends poems
daughters mother lover

In this heat, a balm for chaos




daughters put on wings,
garden turns to paradise
birds take flight -
