A HUNDRED POEMS – XLVIII

Within my shudder’s tender grasp, a blessing smile,

Amidst blue-blur scarred skies, society fractures like creme-egg,

Pink baby lips reveal a conspiracy between id and ego, within the yard

Where flamingos prance with righteous blue beetles, zealous laughs.

Crying zebras roam, with ears that bear walls but no eyes to see!

A surreal dance of desire, as sex met million days of dry humping camels, ooh!

TRANSCENDENTALLY

A vision of thee
consumed my spirit
as heaven’s dome
unveiled its azure grace
upon the delicate edge
of dawn’s radiant embrace
Twixt affection and existence!

Such profound affection I perceived!
A weight of lamentations
yearning, vowing!
And the radiant orb of day
burst forth in that vast expanse!

The innocent lamb proclaimed, “I am!”
Baa
Vaster than any gaze
is my pastoral land!
In a cascade of tears,
it seemed
I could but express
my fractured spirit
in your resonating cadence:
Hum, drone-murmur, twitter
melodiously pulsating soul,
nature reveals her voice
And mankind as well!
to this solemn declaration
I utter softly: ah-clearing my throat.
Engross me, resplendent enchantress!
The timid glance retreats!

BUTTERFLIES DIE TOO

We got these hands, you and me,
Take mine, I’ll lead you far, you’ll see.

I’ve walked this road a thousand times,
Each step, a different face defines.
With every threshold crossed and hand embraced,
Spring blooms anew, a family’s embrace.

Life and death, they dance as one,
The future grips tight, then it’s undone.
Through the years, I’ve found my truth,
Living through others, in the blood of youth.

Once, I was clear, a lucid soul,
But frail blind girls took their toll.
Yet lovelier than the moon’s soft light,
They showed me paths, both dark and bright.

A trail of moss, of mist, of dew,
Of young bodies, with life anew.
Wind, cold rain, summer’s embrace,
All make a man from that young face.

In presence lies my virtue’s gleam,
Solitude’s the price of death’s regime.
From delight to fury, I’ve known them all,
Through every being, I stand tall.

Through earth and clouds, through seasons’ change,
My youth endures, a life rearranged.
My blood, it rises over ruins past,
And in our hands, our bond holds fast.

Nothing can seduce, as we entwine,
Like a forest, returning earth to sky.
Night prepares for an endless day,
Hand in hand, we’ll find our way.

IT’S A POEM FOR YOU

We know, for sure, that while other lights seem to explode,
We know that babbling waters wash away all guilt, all woe,

Contemplating a flower amidst this modern age’s show,
Soon to don more color, this poem’s pace will slow,

The window bars, the breadcrumbs linger, though.
See, I’ve forgotten if they’re green or if blue.

But you know those words are created by plump hearts
loving you and anyway, what I really mean:

You are the sweetest thing I’ve ever known ~~

and I’m just a man making potions with words
within an ancient traveling show.

LITTLE KILL (that thing that kills)

In the realm of Poe’s eerie prose, there’s this decapitated hand making its way around.
Picture this: it’s floating above a city that looks like a giant chessboard, and it’s got some kind
of weird power over these glowing trees. Like, seriously intense fury that you can’t ignore.

It’s as if this hand used to be alive, and now it’s all confused, caught up in waves and snow,
and it’s collecting stuff with this amazing brilliance. And get this, it’s even cradling a child
in the jungle, in some mysterious diamond-shaped space. Crazy, right?

But wait, there’s more. People are loving reading about this hand’s adventures, and it’s like they’re
gathering stories from fires, transforming as they go. There’s this whole trippy vibe with delirious ferns
and lost goddesses dancing around, and their leader is this mystical song that’s just floating in the air.

This hand, or whatever it is, seems to have some kind of special power, almost like it’s holding a reserve of air.


It’s like a woman without arms, or a star with no roots—kind of mysterious and intriguing.

And get this, it’s also playing with the rain in a weirdly pleasurable way, creating this dawn with doors that
can actually move and inform people. Amongst all this, there are these winds made of clay, which are somehow related to tigers coming out to play. Wild stuff!

Then there’s this funky furniture that smells like bad luck, and it’s getting in on the action of some intense dreams, even biting the rain. And there’s talk of defending against cold dangers and snakes. Sounds like a pretty intense adventure!

And hold up, there’s this light show going on too. Spectral senses and quicksilver trees with buds popping out on furniture, leaving different footprints on the carpet. Shadows grazing like they’ve got some attitude, and volcanic-like eruptions adding to the chaos.

In the midst of all this craziness, there’s this intriguing whispering, like the stones have secrets to share. You gotta listen, man, ’cause it’s an enigmatic tale that Poe’s spirit is spinning with a ghostly touch.

THE VARIABLE WITHIN IMPOSSIBLE EQUATIONS

In the realm where laurels gleam, behold,
A tapestry of words now weaves, untold.
“Scientific Progress Eats Humanity” it cries,
A sonnet sung by noble hearts and wise.

Tesla, the gentle savant, stands tall,
His brilliance graced with virtue’s thrall.
Edison’s dark shadows dim his name,
An a$$hole’s past, a tarnished flame.

Through Nature’s papers, seeking truth,
Life’s mysteries unfold, vibrant and uncouth.
Like butterflies, it flutters by,
In transient beauty, we glimpse the sky.

A day shall come when stones shall sing,
“We wish you love, we wish you peace,” they’ll bring.
In yearning hearts, such dreams arise,
To mend a world with shattered ties.

“Yea, oh yea,” the poet chants,
A rhythm that the universe enchants.
In “now-now,” discontent takes hold,
A better age, their hearts behold.

No hearse with U-Haul now in tow,
For earthly treasures fail to follow.
Give all away, unselfish, kind,
In generous souls, true wealth we find.

Moths find no feast in emptiness,
No sustenance in void’s abyss.
Empty heads, no hats they don,
Yet wisdom’s crown, the worthy don.

“Who wears a real hat these days?”
The poet ponders, hearts ablaze.
Traditions wane, the world moves on,
Yet some eternal values dawn.

Beneath sinking waters, ships find reprieve,
Bound by fate and destiny’s weave.
A grand woman’s neck, abdomen long,
Mysterious beauty, nature’s song.

Forgive the orchids, frail and rare,
For feasting on her beauty fair.
They spat up pink, fluorescent bright,
Art and nature’s dance unite.

In this superbly crafted verse,
The poet’s soul, a universe.
With vivid imagery, it paints,
A masterpiece, the heart acquaints.

Embrace this ode to life’s grand quest,
Where science, art, and love attest.
A symphony of thoughts, profound,
In laureate’s realm, its echo bound.

UNDRESSES

She takes off her dress, and the mirror

obediently reflects her figure,

Now she sleeps, peacefully and profoundly,

Next to her, like a loyal dog, the mirror stands ready to watch over the night,

A faithful companion, in the dark and gloomy hours.

LOVE IS A FLOWER

LOVE, a flower blooming bright,
Casting shadows, gleaming light,
Beneath dew moss, its essence pure,
In meadows green, its charm secure.

Prayers, like moths in moonlit skies,
Flutter softly, as love complies,
Emotions deep, yet often lost,
In love’s embrace, we pay the cost.

As children sweet, we roam the Earth,
Lost in dreams, discovering worth,
Ghosts of the past, they don’t mind,
For love’s the force that we’re destined to find.

Like melting candles’ gentle glow,
In Victorian houses, time’s flow,
And like Emily Dickinson’s quill,
Love’s prose resounds, its power instill.

Gypsies, too, with colors bright,
Paint love’s canvas in golden light,
Against the canvas of the dawn,
The tapestry of love is drawn.

The things we’ve lost, our hearts do hold,
Sacred treasures, stories untold,
Humanity’s essence, pure and rare,
With love’s embrace, we learn to care.

Discreetly kissing, love’s divine,
Holding dear, our sacred shrine,
Wishing that God’s listening ear,
Blesses love, both far and near.

In Whitman’s spirit, love’s embrace,
Shall bind us all, and leave no trace,
For like the grass and stars above,
In love, we find our deepest love.


THE LONGING’S LAMENT

the day when hearts love as one

shall commence a broken Heaven

i’ve been patient so long

i’ve forgotten even

the terror and suffering

flown up to heaven,

a sick thirst again

darkens my veins.

let it come, let it come

the day when hearts love as one.

so the meadow

freed by neglect,

flowered, overgrown

with weeds and incense,

to the buzz nearby

of foul flies.

let it come, let it come

the day when hearts love as one.

Vowels of Life’s Tapestry

A black and silent “A” I’ve found,
Velvet-clad, a swarm profound,
Around the cruel’s fetid ground,
In shadows steeped, it doth abound.

An “E” of mist and candid air,
Like tents and lances, proud and fair,
Through glaciers white, it seems to dare,
And shivers of parsley, light as prayer.

“I” in purples, crimson hue,
Bloody salivas, emotions true,
Lonely smiles, a tearful view,
In penitence or anger, too.

Oh, “U,” with waves of greenish hue,
Divine shudders, seas renew,
Pastoral peace and cattle’s coo,
On furrowed brows, alchemy’s cue.

“O,” a clarion call divine,
Strange stridencies, sounds entwine,
Worlds and Angels therein shine,
Violet ray, her Eyes align.

In humanities voice, these vowels weave,
A tapestry of beauty, life conceive,
a choice of words, like winds that grieve,
Unveiling truth, a heart’s reprieve.
