Arachnoid Poems


Premium MemberArachnoid

silvered fractals vibrate wildly
eight-legged creature watches
butterfly wings ripping, tearing strands

scanning, strumming, threads too heavy
Arachnoid instantly focused 
spider's supper waits ahead

slow down, too fast, too quick
silently struggling, finally unshackled
soaring, gliding floats free

Aletheia

Aletheia (Ancient Greek: ????e?a) is truth or disclosure in philosophy.The literal meaning of the word Aletheia is "the state of not being hidden; the state of being evident." It also means factuality or reality.                                                         




Climbing the mountain hollow,

To Finding thee.

Climbing like a spider ,

But dark clouds above me .

Laughing like thunderstorm,

Climbing arachnoid me.

Gravity is my best foe,

But like to play with thee.

But you give me the free fall,

To meet the dream of me.

Now I can see mountain hollow,

Black hole every dream,

Infinity is my address,

And gravity within me.





By this poem, I want to show you the other side of the truth that  we  probably know but we refused to accept it's truth. Maybe only death can. Maybe this is the limit only we know about. Maybe after death furthermore journey of a soul, we will know.And more truth.



Now,this is the maximum possible distance that I can travel....... in search of truth.



Remember nothing is absolute.

Denouement

She thrilled my senses
and titillated my heart
like a creature of nature.
Always moving, never still,
her ethereal presence
was surreptitious,
clever and lithe.
The penumbra, 
backlighting
a gossamer forest, 
expertly woven 
and imbricated
labyrinthine,
a vestigial empire
of silken threads.

A talisman was needed
but could not be found,
to expose the calculations
and the furtive plot.

When I fell in, 
I was weightless,
defenseless,
an epiphany
of seduction.
The arachnoid
and nemesis
slowly devoured me.

I opened up my cupboard door and then I opened wider,
Dwelling cozily inside, a most humongous spider. 

I do not kill a spider, that’s against this gardener’s rule,
But I don’t pick up a spider, I am truly not a fool.

I closed the cupboard saying,  “I’ll wait with you to deal
For tomorrow or the next day, depending how I feel.”

I went to work next morning without removing arachnoid.
I don’t know if I forgot or just was trying to avoid.

For in truth I don’t like spiders though she is a gardener’s friend,
But I’ll defend her right to live her span, right to the very end. 

All day I mulled my problem, how I’d trap her and release her.
I knew I must be careful, if I was clumsy I’d decease her.

That evening  I looked for her, but she wasn’t  where she’d been,
And to me an unseen spider is much worse than one that’s seen.

Then my darling son informed he’d been looking for a cookie
And had found the big old spider hiding in its little nookie.

He remembered what I taught him, that a spider is our friend.
He had carried her to the garden, the rest of her life to spend.
