The roof rumbled
As if to be ripped apart
While I sat, watching the trees sway mad, being uprooted
Smashed through my french windows
I sat still
Knowing it would pass through
As it grew calm
I stepped out
All around me was a wall of fury
Nature's
Mixing everything with the wind
In the eye, as I stood
I felt at home
The storm agreed, so I walked along as It went along
Paving its way
In destruction
Yet, as I held my beer bottle
It didn't bother me
Till it just faded to a gust
And subsided
I looked back
A few miles from home
I smiled
I had walked through a storm
And even it let me be.

crossing the Gobi

In the jittery rays
Of the passing light
Shadows 
Most of the unforgiving landscape
Yet now are so serene 
It is but a paradox
Waterless and parched
Would I love on to see another dawn?
Or does it mean the setting would be my last
Either ways
The lights are pretty
So is the sky
Painting my face in overlaps
Of distant dried cactus and dunes
In a pleasant wake
Of today's ending
Crossing along the Gobi.

What I seek

What more should I bring,
Offer you or showcase
In this lifetime, I seek no validitation
Nor do I need yours.
The drama and saga
Epic moments, so called
Are nothing but subtle subterfuge
Of a fleeting life.
Anxious as one may see
Anxiety is just a passé
And all that is left is Avarice
In a long wait of endings.

Yet your pestilence is forever present
I do not resent, nor disdain
For you have nothing but dreams
Of a false grandeur called life
That which you call life.
If ignored largely, in your wake
For you seek others to validate you
I seek none, I seek no one
And when the end is near
I shall not be entangled or strained.
For I can be at ease
Pass into oblivion, as lived , so dead.
