Eshwara Prasad
He had been deafeningly silent since birth. His worried parents had given up hope that he would ever speak. But when the enlightened Guru asked him "who are you?" Finally, he opened his mouth and unhesitatingly said, "I am the eternal silent spirit".

Desolate
Unyielding notes
Accumulate
Silhouetting umbra
Breaking through
Architectural shadow
Flickers of bloom & bounty
From a sleeping
Satiated bride
Reposed upon
The chaise longue
Softly interlacing
The accidentals
With a final grace note
Before absolute stillness
Reprises
Ideas swirl around my head
Each one could be a hit
Each one could be a flop
But trying to write it
Proves difficult

I sit
I write
I scratch
I rewrite

Slowly I take a part of my soul
And the melody shows itself

The song now complete.

Universe Poems
What does it take,
to be free
I don't know you tell me
I vowed never,
to tolerate,
lackadaisical  conduct,
that leaves you stuck
Brings you down
that is not happy,
that is a frown
Round, and round
Finding yourself,
that is the crown
A large jewel,
just there for you
Look at its beauty
It should be seen,
not tucked away,
just like a dream
I found me
I want to enjoy,
me you see
No derogatory context
or manipulation,
swamped text,
full of steps,
that stops me,
climbing you see
Afraid of heights,
but I have always,
scaled buildings,
to see the sights,
no matter what,
came across the path,
that was not right,
and, left a draft
Holding me back,
even though one pretends,
no more verbal attack
Spending a Quarter,
of a Century of life,
good will, and beauty,
trampled like ground spice
Updated dice
Then a fairy story offered,
wrongly priced,
it was verbal regurgitation,
described as being nice
So I will stay
with the me I found
Climbing higher,
than any mound
Or pile of c...
on the ground

guy scutellaro
when 2 birds standing on
2 different high tension wires kiss
love is short.

You wanted me to tattoo your name on my back.
"but who would see?" I asked.
"you just don't get," you screamed,
"you don't ever get it."
and you smashed a glass
on the worn rug.

It was a velvet rug
with a picture of elvis
painted across it
meant to be hung on the wall
and when the wind
parted the curtains
the shards sparkled like stars.

They say the human heart
weighs 3/4's of a pound
and scientists have found
in a tomb in Egypt
the heart of Cleopatra
shriveled like leather.
bitterness
can preserve a heart for eternity....

....but it's closing time at the bar
and outside in the cold, cold snow
outside in the snow
my darling
one last time
I'll **** your name.

Ah, this spring-
Your sweet scent touches
my little heart
and I wanna hear more
sounds of your feet.
Your shyness
and silent love
make my soul fly.

I dance,
and smile inside me
with your humming song.
Why do you look at me
with your smiling face?
After seeing your lovely eyes
I also draw a dream
on my mind.

Do you chuckle like this?
Or do you love me, miss?
Could you tell me, please!
The shine of your beauty
will make me mad at you;
So, will you talk to me?
Will you walk with me-
rest of your life?
BE

He sat down
by the bar with a bottle of
whiskey.
And while the angels sang
he listened
to the preachings
of a crooked bartender
Whose days were filled with drunk forgotten nights,
and he knew
for first time
that he has
never felt more
close to God.

jerely
Ignite the light
Ablaze the fire of delight
To which stars could beam from the sky
As the night could walk
In the darkness
It glows
From fireflies that search for wavering sea
It might catch a feeling of despair
Deprived, detach from the noise that you hear from the outside world.
