“If, as a chemist, I see a flower, I know all that is involved in synthesizing a flower’s elements.
And I know that even the fact that it exists is not something that is natural. It is a miracle”
— Albert Hofmann

Elements and Symbols

Undiscovered
Laying dormant
Recovered
By an informant

The symbols drawn
Onto the unknown elements
Before the early dawn
Possibly as ornaments
Signs of prediction
Part, of some ancient superstition

Colourful
But fearful
These elements and symbols
Remaining a riddle
But nothing to belittle
Possibly the initials
Of gods from the past
Carved into stone
For ages to last

Opposites

“All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites”
Marc Chagall

Opposites

The other
Of a bluish colour
The other
Not at all duller

Opposites
In so many ways
Positives
You want to embrace

Colour in the Shadows

“I know that if odour were visible, as colour is,
I’d see the summer garden in rainbow clouds”
Robert Bridges

Colour in the Shadows

There it lurks
In the deep dark shadows
Soon bursting out, in fireworks
In one big colourful pose

Christmas in Summer

“Green was the silence, wet was the light,
the month of June trembled like a butterfly.”
― Pablo Neruda

Christmas in Summer

It’s almost, like Christmas
In the month of June
Nature, ever so fearless
When summer, came so soon

Reds and greens
Pretty, in every scene
Something, unseen
On this, widest of screens

Is it live or memorex?
It’s as good, as any guess
But wouldn’t settle, for less
After all, the winter was, a big mess

Enjoy it, while it lasts
For this season, too, will pass
And if there is any chance
Record it all, en mass

I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood”
Christopher Columbus

Neighbourhood

Stacked

Neatly, bundled together
Protected, from any weather
From January to December
Different, but similar
Just like, birds of a feather

Vintage

They call me vintage
They call me old school
My condition may not be minted
But my owner considers me a jewel

Neighbourhood

Three

Just the three of us
Causing no fuss
Hanging together
To each other tethered
Yellow, with a touch of white
Pretty, in sunshine’s bright

Neighbourhood

Branching Out

With the warmth they will sprout
Growing their tentacled snouts
It is the time,
The time, for branching out

Sign of the Times

It was the sign, of the times
Peeing, surely a major crime
Just be careful, while lifting that leg
You may be fined

Long Journey

The longest journey,
Starts, with a single step…
But the caterpillar, is not in a hurry
Taking its time in the human web
