D is for dry as
D is for damp as
D is for depth
Dragons, dinosaurs…
Druids.
D is for
Divine as
Diamonds as
Dulcet melodies at
Dawn and sunset.
D is for my name
Dearly sweet
Dreaming, no time for
Delusions or
Dementia, as
Delicate details
Deciding
Despite the
Dull
Darkness…
Due to doubts not
Dramatized by those, say,
Dragonflies...?
D is for
Draughts that make
Daylight be dazzling
Devastating ...
Dizzy by distance
Drizzling drops
Dandy!
D is for
Dappled daffodils
Dangling with the wind
Dancing within, not like
Daisies, short and lazy
Darling- D, that is,
Don,
Dave,
Dylan,
Drake,
Don’t deceive me
Don’t do me wrong
Don’t you ever
Dare look
Down on me…
…Again.
After so many shameful affairs
She was recommended to go up there
To one of those
Peaceful monasteries
To find the lost rest
Forget George and Fred
Walk around the place
Be with the inner self
That morning
After the cold shower
There he was
Never had thought monks
Also had issues!

Hi!
Sweet friends of mine
The sound /ai/
So fine
I findTo make words rhyme
Lots of light
It inspires
Me and I fly
As I write
You feel more alive
It strikes
Your likes and dislikes
I might
Cite,
Full of pride,
When I met this guy
Named Mike
Who came to invite
Me- myself -I
To get on his bike
And ride
Up to the sky
It was paradise
Where no fright
No fights
No lies
Not even time...
Just he, Mike
And I
What a guide
His eyes
So wide
And wild.
A surprise.
How nice
To arrive at such site
That night
Moon so bright
Together we smiled
We could shine!
We were in and outside
Not left, rather right
Not a place to cry
Or hide
Or disguise
Or change our minds...
So easy to decide
And enjoy life
As if blind
Yet, full of insight.
Now, I sigh
How wise
Wonder why...
Must decide
It’s high time
To say ‘ good bye...’
For a while.
