~(‘Amaraththuvam’) ~Amaranthus :: the eternal
grasses have dried to be the sun-eaten soiled
stalks beyond any greeny recognition .. as if in a
flash second locust infested devastations… to
a meagre left out an almost nothingness
these papery flowers of the bogainvillea
are not really the flowers ..conning colourful
bracts hiding a puny off- white bud like flower
inside ..
the flashy reddened autumnal almond leaves
in a luxurious leathery plumpish flesh.. have been
impudently sucked off to merely a skeletal...

The Continuum of Ideal & Real Self. (for me)
I'm feeling more real as I am.
More real than I'v ever been.
A continuum, spectrum like exists.
Between the Ideal self & the real self.
A spectrum that were all on.
The Ideal self, is the person.
We think others want us to be.
Conforming to this image.
We collude with others to fit in.
What ever the cost.
The true self, not to others.
Rather to our true selves.
As nature meant us to be.
Every time we collude with others.
Our perspective...

Of Holding On And Letting Go
1: Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
You think that water is the color blue
That ocean currents imitate the wind.
And where it ends beyond the height of clouds
That’s where the sky of me will turn to black,
Where neither air nor astronauts may live;
Yes, I’m the sky and all the rest is air.
If not for me there’d be no atrium
To hold within the weather and the rain,
From where the cumulus and stratus play.
The teaming life that feeds on coral beds,
The orca pods who prey...

from 02022020 a palindromical feb dawn~ the ~maula & ~ruh, of love
something so laidback
yet trying to leaf out itself
in a coppery~reddish rimmed
blood~filled heady
nascence
this wintry dawn
stridulating
crickets.. still shrill
but in a lapsing~ singing
‘hide & seek’.. the alternating
on & off altercations in a final
dissolution unto the bigger, the
more becoming noisy, the
hustle bustle of made-up
urbanities, that which
dares to stir
the calming...

Not Yet Slumber
Why must this slumber end
I am not yet finished with the dream
When the day begins
Nothing is as it seems
For the light of day
Erases our recollection
Of the night’s Shakespearian play
The dark reflection
The divine is held in dream
The connection with our creator undeniable
Nothing is as it seems
The future now unforeseeable
Connect with me, my beloved Creator
Show me my truth
For you are my life curator
Just as in my youth
I am not yet finished with the dream
When the day begins
Nothing is as it seems
For the light of day
Erases our recollection
Of the night’s Shakespearian play
The dark reflection
The divine is held in dream
The connection with our creator undeniable
Nothing is as it seems
The future now unforeseeable
Connect with me, my beloved Creator
Show me my truth
For you are my life curator
Just as in my youth

Speed of Presence
Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop. ~ Rumi
Exuberance reveals many colors;
it's an outward sharing of fertility
Spring shares a newness of youth
a fertile aliveness of birth;
Autumn returns that fertility
of seasoned experience
and warm intimacy to the earth;
its urgent poignancy resides
in the recognition of a limited future
Spring knows nothing about
Everybody loves Spring
until Autumn presents itself
allowing the natural coming and going
of that whose time has...

We have been apart too long to stay in chains, I must absorb you,
breathe you in like air, swallow you like water..
The viscosity of you is that of my blood flowing to keep me alive...
You are the mist I feel on my skin but cannot see...
You are always all around me and nowhere as well and at once...
We, together are everywhere, unable to be destroyed...
This is how we...
