And within the INK BLUE Life of dog kisses!
i fell upon a large space |————-| there
w i d e r t h a n a tortoise shell
a third degree kiss upon sticky –> (whew!) toes
s a n d sh e l l tornadoes greenly thick
a thunder white cap clasped my heart!
what undertow dreams silently bubble
and my lips parted a soul so gently
Beneath a Blue Sahara Ocean Dream!

(Verse 1)
In a town where the sun always shines,
We danced through the streets, hand in hand, feeling fine.
With your laughter like music, and your eyes so bright,
Every moment with you feels just right.
(Chorus)
Oh, won’t you stay a little longer?
In this world of ours, nothing could be wrong.
With you by my side, I feel so strong,
In this endless love song.
(Verse 2)
Underneath the stars, we’ll make our vow,
To love each other forever, starting now.
Through the highs and lows, we’ll always stand tall,
Together we’ll conquer it all.
(Chorus)
Oh, won’t you stay a little longer?
In this world of ours, nothing could be wrong.
With you by my side, I feel so strong,
In this endless love song.
(Bridge)
Through the trials and the tears, we’ll find our way,
With your love as my guiding light, come what may.
Hand in hand, we’ll face whatever comes along,
In this endless love song.
(Chorus)
Oh, won’t you stay a little longer?
In this world of ours, nothing could be wrong.
With you by my side, I feel so strong,
In this endless love song.
(Outro)
In this endless love song,
Our hearts beat as one.
In this endless love song,
Our journey has just begun.
AND who were you! Bright star of India!
[I say, “THE WORLD!]
Ramanujan, the discoverer of known insight
and father of discoveries once unknown!
Your Prime was genius and short-lived
that brilliant function of soul and
number — the gods, my god, took you
and your death still a mystery —
and notebooks your legacy my angel!
That gesture after Victorian age
a beast of engine and steel —
a choice of death over life!
So wonderfully the gods refused
when you threw yourself unto
the tracks of afterlife.
Peaceful rest but I guess
One day soon your soul returns

DEATH
w a r
dances within the skies_________
the air dies frantically
while human minds
and lungs repair
Yet even amidst this chaos, dare
to find beauty in the broken
where silence speaks and wounds unspoken
in the midst of this discordant air,
a symphony of souls, we share
through shattered dreams and battles fought,
the human spirit, unfaltering, sought.
So let us weave our words anew,
In defiance of the war’s cruel brew.
for in the spaces between breaths and sighs,
we find the whispers of truth that never dies.

You can kill a butterfly
by touching it
you can love a shadow
all without substance
So, first, make a stone
of your heart
’cause a heart
isn’t concretless
it’s strange fruit
Crimson stains adorn
foliage and foundation
Silhouettes of ebony
sway gently in languid currents
of Southern Air
with burning flesh
and twisted mouths.
