Deeper Underground I Go
I can’t count the number
of poems I’ve expelled
beyond the busted seams
of experience
As if those seams could keep
the poems from my voice
How many emotions
were galactic tapestries
unraveling from a solar plexus
storing so many lives
How many verses reflect
the present
versus the ghosts
of a former century
And yet,
deeper underground
I go
The trick to navigating
the bowels of the beast
is not succumbing
to illusion over...

A Night in the Museum
I was attending a meeting
hosting a keynote speaker
whom I did not know
During the presentation
the internet connection was lost
and I found myself sitting
next to the speaker
discussing potential options
for a better connection
A fundraiser was suggested
while he politely asked
if I was a Sociologist
At that time, the host
a gangly old man, obviously
frustrated by our discourse
abruptly blurted out:
"We don't use oracle cards...

once a black moon
a nymph slips
sylph shaded
bearing eyelids
kajal writings
engraved lips
occur opaque
ancestral
I gaze into
sentient
essence
find me
lunar one
among lithium
my Lilith orb
becomes
a lily white
atom
floating

Sayonara Amnesty _ with "Adagio"
Sayonara's amnesty tomorrow
with torrents of being one
obsessed by fading incognito
typhoons in nature's ecstasy
seeking one's eternal soul
with the pulse of the bamboo
whispering Sayonara's amnesty
To let go of every shadow
like the drifting autumn leaves
soaring in the air to the sky
breathing with the trees
the quietude of the universe
and the oscillating rhythm
in harmony with the scenery
with torrents of being one
obsessed by fading incognito
typhoons in nature's ecstasy
seeking one's eternal soul
with the pulse of the bamboo
whispering Sayonara's amnesty
To let go of every shadow
like the drifting autumn leaves
soaring in the air to the sky
breathing with the trees
the quietude of the universe
and the oscillating rhythm
in harmony with the scenery

Long Time Forever
In slow-motion touching my shoulder
as the weight of silence whispers
Bringing me closer to God
riding the winds with wings
In a timeless slow-motion and blue sky
a long time in forever
as the weight of silence whispers
Bringing me closer to God
riding the winds with wings
In a timeless slow-motion and blue sky
a long time in forever

Cinder of Soul
Sweet surrender of echoes calling
from a sanctuary inking my obituary
unveiling wings twilight taking flight
tender embrace rhythms of the night
numbing silence of emptiness, grazing
fathomless eyes of a fallen angel gazing
witnessing the beauty of life's symphony
the cinder of soul, incense to behold
from a sanctuary inking my obituary
unveiling wings twilight taking flight
tender embrace rhythms of the night
numbing silence of emptiness, grazing
fathomless eyes of a fallen angel gazing
witnessing the beauty of life's symphony
the cinder of soul, incense to behold

Bears
In the dense forests, bears roam curiously,
their heavy paws tread softly.
Ancient survival rituals.
Marked trees, scratched bark, sustenance.
They move with grace despite their size.
Instincts honed over millennia.
Mothers protecting their young, teaching them to fish,
climbing, seeking shelter.
But the world is changing,
the forests are becoming thinner,
the ice is melting,
the seasons are changing,
their habitats are shrinking,
food sources are dwindling,
invisible borders are approaching, ...

Veil of Green
In nature's Autumn theater
listening to a silent breath
beneath this veil of green
as I sleep, horizon I see
floating in the air...
death's serenity

experience
an inflection of doubt makes me hesitate
your connection unsecure I pull back
the dark speaks and genuflects
seemingly effortless
seeking affection from an intelligence unlike our own
feelings evolve and take form
we were made from dreams
visions of the future seen
in the mind's eye, of the one spoke things into being
your soul is part of a universal love
you were desired
alone in the vast he longed
for companions of substance
a great compassion, was given the shape of human
experiencing the world that came...

A Throbbing Scent - with MySmile
Pale lips of blue perishable breath
Silence without cliches, listening,
Stuck upon a memory that you are
Blossoming in death’s trite without
Critique in my slumber as I sleep
***
Stirred is the mind by a throbbing scent
Soul refilled straying off an end
A warm love unearthed now blooming
So soft the sound of a seed life sipping
Silence just retreated while smiling..

So soft the sound of a seed life sipping

Endless Night
Today I returned
Awakened
Harmony divided
In my faith
Past memories
God is who I hate
Searching the betrayal
Shadows of light
Silent Tomorrow's
Endless night's

Oneness with God
Recycled wind chimes bamboo
with bell tones of blue
tranquil melody meditation
in nature's flute
like a waterfall calming
oneness with God
