Everything’s looted, betrayed and traded,
black death’s wing’s overhead.
Everything’s eaten by hunger, unsated,
so why does a light shine ahead?
...
The moon whispered to the sea,
'Tell me your deepest secrets.'
And the sea, with its waves dancing,
Revealed tales of lost ships,
...
Just beyond the sunset
Someone waits for me
Just beyond the sunset
Lies my destiny
...
January brings the snow,
makes our feet and fingers glow.
February brings the rain,
...
A BOAT beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --
Children three that nestle near,
...
Give me some letters
I'll make words
Give me some words
I'll make sentence
...
A boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --
...
I saw thee once- once only- years ago:
I must not say how many- but not many.
It was a July midnight; and from out
A full-orbed moon, that, like thine own soul, soaring,
...
The rising sun has yet to glow
In his resplendent glory,
The moon has not even begun her descent
But I’m here on the shore,
...
And thus the people every year
in the valley of humid July
did sacrifice themselves
to the long green phallic god
...
Behold the apples’ rounded worlds:
juice-green of July rain,
the black polestar of flowers, the rind
mapped with its crimson stain.
...
In the flashes and black shadows
of July
the days, locked in each other's arms,
seem still
...
She walks as lightly as the fly
Skates on the water in July.
To hear her moving petticoat
...
i love the river between the banks
beshrew a drinker who doesn't give thanks
i love the breeze hitting my face
...
Whatever the poet's eyes see,
And his mind imagines,
And his pen elaborates,
Or whatever is written,
...
I have a white rose to tend
In July as in January;
I give it to the true friend
Who offers his frank hand to me.
...
Have you not heard his silent steps?
He comes, comes, ever comes.
Every moment and every age,
...
Many ways to say good night.
Fireworks at a pier on the Fourth of July
spell it with red wheels and yellow spokes.
...
”Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, -and done a hundred things
...
This is the place that I love the best,
A little brown house, like a ground-bird's nest,
Hid among grasses, and vines, and trees,
Summer retreat of the birds and bees.

at the age of fifty found his mind in his heart
and on July morning went out to capture
the right, the beautiful, the just.

Down in the hollow there’s the whole Brigade
Camped in four groups: through twilight falling slow
I hear a sound of mouth-organs, ill-played,
And murmur of voices, gruff, confused, and low.

I still cannot erase from my memory,

Its Never goodbye when your walking alone
The roads you have taken so far from home
You've climbed, breathed life, you've given to all
Opened your heart so willing to fall

In the blue harbor of your eyes
Blow rains of melodious lights,
Dizzy suns and sails
Painting their voyage to endlessness.

Prelude
Blue storm-clouds in hot heavens of mid-July
Hung heavy, brooding over land and sea:
...
In one salutation to thee, my God,
let all my senses spread out and touch this world at thy feet.
Like a rain-cloud of July
...
The wind is singing through the trees to-night,
A deep-voiced song of rushing cadences
And crashing intervals. No summer breeze
Is this, though hot July is at its height,
...
....
Just a little tiny battered and paint-peeling boat
forgotten
and tied to the dock for season after season
...
To me you are a wave;
never here, never there!
You are –still- nowhere!

THE ARGUMENT OF HIS BOOK
I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers,
Of April, May, of June, and July flowers.
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,

What ails my senses thus to cheat?
What is it ails the place,
That all the people in the street
Should wear one woman's face?

Each time I think of you.

Small circles of friends,

The same Moon rose over you just hours ago.
Did you also watch it rise? Did clouds obscure the view?

'Twas in the year of 1888, and on July the 14th day,
That an alarming accident occurred in the River Tay.

After the traumatic event of floods
In Mumbai on 26th July 2005;
That devastated many lives in the city,
And changed the life of my family totally,
...
Boulevard du Régent
July Flowerbeds of amaranths right up to
The pleasant palace of Jupiter. -
I know it is Thou, who is this place,
...
Words that danced distant screens.
Morphed in days to tender dreams.
Whence they bloomed, barren rooms.
Verdant lines now sterile seams.
...
As long as I can breathe
As long as I am Me
As long as I can feel
As long as day still turns to night

So, I’m...
19,584 days old.
So, counting...

How to know
the pondering of a bat
hanging upside down
his frown but a smile

In his tenth July some instinct
taught him to arm the waiting wave,
a giant where its mouth hung open.

A ghost is roaming through the building,
And shadows in the attic browse;
Persistently intent on mischief
A goblin roams about the house.

In summer weather, you and I,
The wind and sun were in your hair, -
Gold hair against a sapphire sky:

Among the bumble-bees in red-top hay, a freckled field of brown-eyed Susans dripping yellow leaves in July,
I read your heart in a book.

From deep thought of mind,
In inner core of soul hymns origin,
Through mind this comes to mind,
Intellect is the channel to express.

Vices are not crimes but you think,
Crimes are provoked by vices within,
Vices in unified condition scatter,
Illusion is unshackled and it holds.

It’s dawn now. The slanting rays of the morning light fall on the window sill. I have to go now, to the world of medicines, drips, ivy’s and blood.
I walked near it…As I put the first foot, I heard the cry of agony which spread over my mind like my ‘dove dress’ spread with blood. I went to my wards…Fifteen rooms…appeared to me as fifteen prisons…with inmates waiting for their destiny…Either to life or to…no... I don’t want to fill it up…
As I pushed the first door, I saw him sleeping…smiling face with his little finger in his mouth…I didn’t want to break a three year olds dream… but my duty is forcing me. I took his finger out from mouth. He started and opened his little eyes…his eyes – without eyebrows and eyelashes – coming to know the cruel reality from sweet unreality. I felt his lips are ready to put his agony out.
