Surrender Reigns, Perhaps Dissolves

[Poet’s Note : The value of the new Specular Fugue form is that it enables the Poet to present different realities & timelines simultaneously, advancing the development of a non-linear mind. This helps Poets move from their Emotional Bodies into Detachment without losing emotionality.]
_________________
 
Perhaps I have a glowing Guide 
standing alongside right shoulder 
who peels my skin observed 
by angels as I fly into chuckling Sky
with tears dripping from armpits

                My armpits are itchy, unwashed 
                as angels lament with flapping wings
                they stroke skin repairing tears 
                some stand behind my broken chair
                my Guide looks like a serpent, dare

Perhaps I belong on that constellation 
where I fly to find my vulnerable Heart
playing hide and seek with Odysseus 
Neptune blowing his ardent lover’s bugle
with Sirius giving commands, as usual

               I take zilch commands from anyone
               blowing my own bugle musically ripe
               shadows play skip-rope backwards  
               my open Heart is sliced and raw  
               belonging to moving Consciousness 

Perhaps I’ll have a hot meal tonight 
or roses a white sight on my birthday 
for my marrow smells like myrrh, only to
my own olfactories, Mind everywhere
obeying Self, indulging in other realities 

             Crossing other realities my Self
             is naked to Mind, stringing strands
             marrow containing ancestor dis-eases
             on my birthday I expect wild daisies
             hot meals please, they are a scarcity 

Perhaps, a fleeting thoughtform lukewarm 
arises and falls as rosy pears on summer 
trees ripe for playful picking in placid breeze 
the word and shrug opens possibilities for 
Protector to make subtle choices in ease 

            Poets party perhaps, using music AI apps 
            in nightgowns seeking cheap possibilities 
            autumn breezes don’t care as they pass
            pears falling nevertheless, sure as gravity
            pulls thoughtforms, fears, ambitions

I follow banks of River, so as not to sink
sink not your PERHAPS,
                                     Surrender REIGNS, Perhaps dissolves

You must have nailed this, Ghairo. I haven't tried this form yet- but you've given a great example of it. Is this a wary celebration of life? I don't know if I got it right, but.... I did love this. <3 Love,

PH, this form will suit your mind well. It is a good form for looking at human movement prismatically & so develop Oneness conceptually, before we are enabled to develop it within Heartspace. ThkU 4 regular visits, dear Friend. I do appreciate your comments. Hug & Love.
