If the demand for home commodities should be diminished, because of the fall of rent on the part of the landlords, it will be increased in a far greater degree by the increased opulence of the commercial classes.

That Elegance...

grace refining
itself and propriety
dignifying
hand in hand is
simplicity and
consistency
beauty restrained
in the opulence of
light
a tasteful richness
on furnishings
of a sumptuous feast
the eyes in
yes.

Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.

Mystic Words

I want to hear you
I want to read you
I want to hear your
Mystic words more and
More and I want to
Taste the nectar
Of your words
O my dear
You alone have
Got opulence
O my love
O mystic power
And as such
I am engaged in
Unalloyed devotion.

Silencio....

Still on the
Insistence of the fading
Lights where the boredom is not well
Estimated, despite the presence of the
Nonsensical, numbness never felt that much
Craving for more of the clues for more
Inspiration, on such a lovely
Opulence.

PONGAL ‘O’ PONGAL (in acrostic)

Prosperity
Obeisance to God
New avenues in life
Gratitude to God
Advent of harvest
Love for God

Overall cleanliness

Peace
Opulence
Newly dressed
Gratitude to farm animals
Aeolian chant of celebration by global Indians
Love for man

Risk

Peddling influence
Among thieves
And trying to find explanations
For failed connections!
Introduces a risk incurred...
When addictions to opulence,
Can not be cured by standards adopted!
Money becomes as insignificant
As those who dangle it...
In the hopes that it does not strangle!
But,
Eventually it does!

War....A Grey Matter....1914

Dulling grey eyes scour the landscape slate
Charcoal skies
Tipped with dishonest
Silver linings
Our hero slowly dies
Slipping as
Uniforms dash past

Darts of scarlet
Scratch the hopeless land
And
Faint voices cut the silence
In vile desperation
Our hero
Sand
Merely a removable object
Soon to be forgotten

Soon to be replaced by summers opulence
Whilst I just sit and write?

Christmas Sells

Dashing through the mall
the last day’s sale parade
Through the stores we charge
spending all the way

Bells on counters ring
credit cards a’flight
Oh what fun to laugh and spend
we’ll shop into the night

Jingle bells Christmas sells
tingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to hide
the cost on lay-away

Christmas sells nothing quells
For opulence we’ll pay
Oh what fun to slide into
financial disarray

Darkness At Noon

Tousling the opulence was
not modesty.
Who will adore the clan?

I am not yet ‘me’,
the refuge of elevated moon.
The heat and dust of nascent money

was burning like a loud prayer
in dark sun. Perfection tends
to terrify the stings.

A mogul of arts outlines the
script of drowning a desert storm,
when two flames went to bed.

Do not pick up the nails for
the coffin of a martyr.
They are going to make a dirty bomb.
