HAPPINESS NOW
Allow your thoughts to fly and flutter
there's invisible mountains in the sky
neverending imagination ain't a lie
petals proliferate perfume invitingly.
A reckoning of things beyond stars,
Dreams, the cocoon of consciousness
Undoubtedly a very peculiar pursuit
THE GRAY LAKE
the gray lake quivers and mirrors
appearance of a hunting vulture who glides
and then time ceases
clouds fade together, forming forever
the misery ritual which hides the happiness
a sorrowful drizzle dancing on skin
giant sculptures of giants with weapons
malicious electricity startles them awake
and they become breathing barbarians
quickly hurry we must hide
but nothing presents itself except a death
which soon we faithfully embrace
creation is a dark lake, awakened ancients
the trembling realization of no tomorrow
because our world is gaunt grave cannibal
ONLY DEATH
Only death, he thinks. Only death shroud
He cradles the bones of his beloved
in his lean arms, tanned by the travelling
through desert mountains. Nothingness
He steps meticulously with sandals
upon multicolored jagged rocks of earth
and finds a cave in the starving night.
The howling wind haunts him, perceiving
a great ghost echoing frightful presence.
He huddles and hugs them white bones
which glow in the entering moonlight of
the grim cavemouth, whispering things.
Soon slumbering, thunder and lightning
shake him awake. The dear bones do go
rattling from his clutching care, because
he had em like a child with a teddy bear
A rainstorm pours a billion bullets now,
the sheets of sleet beat. Ethereal dream
Sky rivers flooding fluorescent streams.
He sheds a shawl wrapped nicely about
and joins the shower naked. Opportunity
for ablution. Wash clean, energy please.
The water is thunderstorm warm. Drink.
Fetching the remnants of absolute love,
utilizing the skull as a gourd, he savors
the freshness, finishing with a grimace.
The sensation of wet skin, pitter patter,
the tingling triumph, all spark reflections
and memories and neverending treasure
Oh decaying romance, what will be left
for this reality? We have always known a
different dimension perpetuates us, but
the thought of transcending the wicked
world of ceaseless scientific speculation
carries creation. Only throu time can we
discover new destiny. Our every loveliest
dance, every kiss we shared the bliss of
our experience. Now the cells of my lover
just float away from me. My screaming
vibrates emptiness, juxtaposes lightning,
then dissipates as if it never even exists.
What seems is only for a time. The man
forgets the philosophical frenzy forever.
Super forlorn strong as the storm
rages, divining the wretched turmoil and
gaunt grace. Awaiting the new day, goes
into the cave and relaxes to meditation.
ANXIETY
Attached to black ancient trees,
nerves redeem stillness tomorrow
Bloom and decay a dim dance,
through time with phantoms kiss.
charm of a grand sallow candle
silhouette shadow flickers portals
Jesus juxtaposing like television
MELANCHOLIA
the melancholy world melts away
And the fingertips of death caress.
void, an insufferable moment
the timeless terror trickling torture
MOONLIGHT RAINBOW
A vivid rainbow through the sparse pine leaves
in the black starless sky, in the bright moonlight.
foggy waves of ether curling like candle smoke
caress the child into infinite reveries of soft love
THE END
once things resolve themselves in rhythm
enhancing what never seemed real enough
we wonder whether the truth glues time
lost through eternally triumphant maze.
I'm so pleased to find this
I'm so pleased to find this riveting sample of your work, a cohesive arrangement that dives deep and unearths the stark truth of the human experience with quotable lines and hypnotic language.
In "Happiness Now" you invite us to unleash our authentic selves through the metamorphosis of imagination. The hope you present in the "cocoon of consciousness" is a thrilling and ecstatic dance.
Ah, "The Gray Lake" . . . an example of metaphor as high drama—teeming with sureal imaginary that takes on a life of its own as we thunder through the inevitably of death, of endings both terrifying and majestic.
In your breathtaking "Only Death" I delighted in chilling wordcrafting and a ballet of evocative language: "Fetching the remnants of absolute love . . ." (Right there!) I took your journey, captivated till the end when a cyclone of emotion crowded into the last scene.
"Anxiety": Pure brilliance. It speaks for itself.
"Melancholia": The complete experience in one gripping package.
Finally, your thought-provoking "The End" is both a satisfying conclusion and an expansive contemplation of time and reality itself.
Truly enjoyed this impressive tour of your imagination.
Your attentive admiration is
Your attentive admiration is precisely what i need. It's obvious you have a perfect, rare degree of passion for poetry as an art and its humble revelations through words; and i am very ecstatic you have taken the time to enjoy my collection. I formulate so that we may relate as children of creation.. Even in conundrum we find coexisting correlations.
