Holograms and Hieroglyphs

Holograms and hieroglyphs

The whole weighs heavily
touched caressed lightly 
brushed on feather canvass
granite marble marvellous papyrus 
innocence rejuvenated
partial and impartial

Chiselled in and out
of comprehension angled
layered facets facts
subjective trueness 
ciphered and deciphered

Snow flakes teardrops
ink on paper hailing crystals
pastel rainbows thunderbolts
and blind pitch black darkness
tell the story weathered lives

Freedom torrent lightening
anxious reproduction
wholesome holes concatenations
metaphoric mosaic translates
picturesque ‘holos’ trying to emerge
 
Vertex vortex on horizons
told untold forgotten 
and beyond beheld
diagonal a-synchronicity 
discovered spoken written
felt and never once complete 

Lyric lasers beaming densely 
condensation compromised
at the cutting edge of aural light
lacking graphic clarity
eluding synthesized illusion

Once we decipher unconventional
primal prismatic re-reflections 
meanings life calligraphy
inscriptions narrative conceptions
we enclose and liberate
the hologram that seems to be

Infinite eternity of scripts
encrypted systems
webs of life’s distortions
fragmentation truth reality
paint the picture of
conflicting contradictions
making sense constructions
lithographic mystery
moulded into understanding

Holograms are limited to
the scope of three dimensions
tending mind and body soul
complementing contrasts
hollow narrow depth untold 

Burrowed in words rational
irrational emotions rationale
defence deflections oppressed
repression incarceration
loose out transitional
transcriptions miss the point by far
the bigger picture yet emerging 
uncertain clarity sculpted
in hieroglyphic excavation

Carving holy boundless beauty
with the fourth dimension
of subjective sense perception
and the changing timeless
flowing circuit circus artwork
in the making reading writing
on the imaginary wall of life
over and above the hologram
engraved in fallacies 
arrests of real unreal reality and
strikes the balance never known
of what is and only seems to be
