The tiger butterfly is flying through the garden, a feeling of certain assuredness sets in - of its alighting on an Ixora or a Bougainvillea, since they are in its path. The tiger butterfly, charts its path in a straight un-looped line. The tiger butterfly flies a while, flies back along another charted path and leaves the flowers untouched.

there is still wonder
in the flight of butterflies
only passing by

THE TASTE OF MANGOES AT SUNSET
ripe mangoes
so many in a basket
on the sidewalk
to buy some is tantamount
to repast of sweet joys

is it worth the wait
standing in a queue waiting
a turn to receive
a bounty of fruit unblemished
maybe i should plant a seed

length of days to harvest
enough sunshine to warm hearts
slumped beneath caring
like a horizon divides
daisy petals under trust

see where love leads
now that noontime wonders if
the sunset will
warm sleepy trysts agendas
or vibrant flavours to tease

was it not a team
of you and i selecting
which suit us best
fit our basket for tastes that
we should take some home

OMG did you hear about the heatwave sweeping across Europe with France reaching a high of 45.1 C. Hoping this spell will quickly dissipate.

TROIKU - BREEZY

a newspaper rolled to use
as a swatter

a disturbance
in silent meditation mode -
that buzzing sound

eyes fixed
regardless of the breeze
lifting the curtains
