The INFINITY walz
Orpheus Rising (A Collaboration: Gahddess Worship & Vee)
You are infinity
to fathom; is impossible
the probable depths of your soul
plummeting into your genius
yet, occasionally willing
to meet me at the surface
I succumb to the rhythm
dreams impressed, curled serendipity
swimming in oceans of compassion
words unspoken, lay pressed upon the page
awakening midnight on skin
desires and needs reflect irises hidden in lids
throbbing tempo pulsates
entwining souls, waltzing to Serenade
Your words
though infinitesimal notes
in a vast belletristic symphony
bear equal weight with masters
wielding power
to caress, soothe
incite introspection
revive romantic yearnings
ignite carnal desire
When silence and sound merge
in realm of nature, subtle, timbre, earthy
setting aflame to limbs, hymn climbs steps
of love, hearts bare to moonlit mysteries
Samsara in horizon
eyes become shimmery stars
guiding winding paths covered by moon-dust
kiss the mouth, knotted with thorns
to feel madness, pain, passion
brimming with molasses and honey
poetry on fire

Surrender ... raison d'ętre,
Careless with sweet reason
I am birthed into confusion
My mind runs Marathon
This helpless soul sent to suffer
It's absence of Omega
A circling heap
Of low self and lost sleep
I lay in sepulchre shroud
Of gold taloned lions cloak
And scare few sheep
With my gaping Maw yawn roar
My eyes streaked
With thundering tell tale heart pulse
Jagged beauties
Piercing Iris of legion
Giving Red demon mask
To sight greyed by apathy
Electric blue now bleary
My weary beats back resolve
To pay dutiful genuflect homage
This shallow gaze Horizon
My weak in the knee
Staggers me
But not to fall.....
My posture alights a mock worship of Ra'
Sending lost soul to slaughter
My assent .....
Omega
Lost grasp of infinity
Careless with sweet reason
I am birthed into confusion
My mind runs Marathon
This helpless soul sent to suffer
It's absence of Omega
A circling heap
Of low self and lost sleep
I lay in sepulchre shroud
Of gold taloned lions cloak
And scare few sheep
With my gaping Maw yawn roar
My eyes streaked
With thundering tell tale heart pulse
Jagged beauties
Piercing Iris of legion
Giving Red demon mask
To sight greyed by apathy
Electric blue now bleary
My weary beats back resolve
To pay dutiful genuflect homage
This shallow gaze Horizon
My weak in the knee
Staggers me
But not to fall.....
My posture alights a mock worship of Ra'
Sending lost soul to slaughter
My assent .....
Omega
Lost grasp of infinity

Our Infinity
I want to pick the phone up
Just to hear your voice on the other
End. You are my half full cup
Sipped so gently. I do not bother
To care what other people think.
Everything may smother
Me until we will both sink
Together. You keep a firm grip
On both my heart and hand. Let us drink
To us because we made it. We will slip
Into our own bubble and world,
Away from watching eyes. I want to strip
Everything naked with you, unfurled
And open to vulnerability. We are unseen.
I always want to be curled
Up against you with nothing in between
Us, except tangled up sheets.
Darling, I am your strong queen.
The steady thrum of heartbeats
Cancel out all of the loud noises on
The busy two way streets
Below us. We are long gone
Past infinity and into the new dawn.

Poets Never Die
Poetry is the word alive
So no poet can ever really die
They’re writing upon
The cosmic consciousness
In written verse electrified
To wonder the stars
In immortal infinity
For other beings to find
Why the caged bird sings
Why we should never go back
And the joy of‘ blackberry eating
Galway Kinnell, Felix Dennis, Maya Angelou
Tonight I’ll be reading you
By the light of the Aura Borealis

Death (As Host)
Once
that forever moment ago
was placed
we locked arms
strode on
through the endless thoroughfare
the tired lay in wait
boggled down
by many yards
sweet incense
perfumed shadow, dark undertones
expiry
what dance
does not
twirl
by head of pin
only one
infinite

INFINITY WALTZ
Elegant waltz that slows Infinity
To where they feel its coolness 'neath their feet
The 3-step of these Lovers Eternal
With graceful sync as are their bodies, like
Tall celestial columns that surround them
In time as they twirl 'round, coiling the stars
That make the countless galaxies in turn
To bow and link arms with one another
While dark matter nurseries birth symphonies.

But in the Mean Time
It is without a beginning and no end,
And everything that’s in between,
Time is never of the essence and yet,
It matters most to us human beings.
In the span of all time forever exists in my mind
In a split second of one stare,
One embrace,
One kiss,
And this is at the crux of my infinity,
That love can transcend almost anything.
Eternity is beyond the physical,
The logical,
It is at the pinnacle of the mystical concept
That puzzles my brain,
It’s the core belief and emotion
That surpasses this somatic realm,
The literal dream,
The figurative theme,
The ethereal plane.
But in the meantime,
As I watch my children grow old,
In my mind they are the babies
I once held in my arms,
Without the concept of time
I carry that memory,
Till my death and beyond,
Forever.
