simple
refined
unapologetically elegant
words used to describe a beauty that lingers within
buttons
freckles
width of a finger
hidden in quiet places for only the astute to see
folds &wrinkles, shadows &seams
soft borders that hold back a grace that overflows
sifting
straining
gently seeping flow
a pouring out of details to light the world around
Hard, Cold, Unkind or Uncaring.
Unknown things that cannot encroach upon brilliance
tender
thoughtful
meek &mild
understated pleasures both in gift and in receipt
shifting then lowering… an upturning of the face
balancing by the unspoken order of levels in space
asymmetric and undulating - slightly askew
unexpected effects of a stunningly natural stance
corners
quiet
peace or solace
found only by those who would venture to seek
facing mighty force
asymmetric resistance
yields.slips, bends, deflects,
so thrust finds no grip or hold
felled by its own over reach
Showers of stardust on continuous flow in Cosmos
sprinkling splendour in dark turquoise sky,
silvery spangles glowing as blooming stars.
Wonder of periwinkle stars twinkling
glistening glittering
on tapestry of stardust.
Stardust sprinkles lovely lustre on Autumn leaves
Stardust shining in Moonbeam
along with amorous dream
on meteor showers.
Bursting stardust in cosmic glow
with trail of silhouette on Milky Way.
Nebulae showing asymmetric distribution
of stardust in opulence.
Luminous starry sky pour stardust
like showers of blessings
from parents and grandparents
once so close, but now no more.
Starburst : Flakes fine
spread stardust,
blinking sparkling !
Shiny lattice of shadows to cast
a network of rue and rapture
to capture sensing
sprinkling of stardust.
We, children love to build lego blocks
Our knacks never run out of stocks;
We can make miniature city,
People, animals, houses, flowers
And a lot more! So colorful and pretty!
Legos are our favorite toys,
Bringing us laughter, smiles and joys;
Girls make dolls and kitchen wares,
Boys make cars, robots, towers
And while playing, we all love to share!
Legos help us think collaboratively and logically,
Combining shapes and colors beautifully;
We make many 2-D and 3-D shapes,
We're symmetric and asymmetric figure builders
Our great creativity leaves you in awe, mouth in gapes!
Nevus, dysplastic
Less than fantastic
Asymmetric?
Center line trick
Irregular border
Suggests disorder
Highly colored?
It’s no dullard.
Diameter large?
Time to take charge!
Rapid evolution?
Seek a solution.
See your derm path
For that mole
Before his burrows
Take their toll.
I think I would love if
never having been taught:
Love, a fiber within my fibers
of being, an ethnic beat within my
vibratory skin--resounding, rhythmic
pulses of heartfelt reflection....
Oh, there is rhythmic refrain
even in the seeming tone-deaf;
symmetry even in the asymmetric –
for most sound begins long before
the audition, and patterns
are preformed by our hidden
attributor, the unseen architect of
all destiny, omnipotence we
sense behind existence, close
as self while elusive as a shooting
star....
To know is to stop living –
and to live, is to love
what we don't know, while
embracing for no other
reason.... The walking dead
fewer than one thinks, though
a deep trench through the soul of
experience.
Coffee~
Cherry,
Woodroast,
Dairy,
Crew crops-
berrying...
Due drops-
swearing-
Simulated over-wearing,
and the asymmetric comparing...
It's done with us and fairing,
that we no longer do anything for jerry.
Asymmetric war
Saudi Arabia has more weaponry they can handle
A small country with a few drones crippled them
And the USA sends more weapon and troops
That is useless in this type of warfare.
The armament industry has been fed and
the weapon looks shinning on the tarmac along
line of tanks going nowhere and remarkable planes
that has no purpose and only a few pilots who bomb
from a great height in case they should be hit, then
comes a few drones from the enemy and upset
the oil production in this country that has little
of value other than oil.
They know they know they can’t obliterate anyone
The Houthi runs a ring around them so much so
The Saudi are so vulnerable they seek a deal despite
the US protest, you can’t fight an asymmetric
war the unseen that might strike when it is least
expected as there is no battlefield.
The Saudi’s are running scared without oil it
A land of dunes.
The shell hangs on a golden string
asymmetric lines curved together
in the valley that roots my neck
a picture inside I keep on holding.
Cheap cloths on a public beach,
the young us playing catch,
a moment in colors of chess,
caught by a since lost lens.
It holds all those stormy nights
I came to sleep by your side,
all the "how was your day"s
of the greening of the leafs.
The cold of the suns that set
shed of that and other salt
and dried, pressured into pulp
holds the bones in a pole.
Me, a flag to the wind of time
tight to it gaze the reviewer,
it is that shell of once upon
my compass to where I've been.
But the tide keeps at my ankles
resigned to rob under my feet
the desert that there stood
steady as the clock's beat.
The day will come it will win
when of this shell I lose grip
and holding on to a gem
won't brace me for the slip.
Because it is your history
the concrete ground
the future is built upon.
an archway
an archway opens onto a soporific plaza
which pours outwardly in colorful asymmetric
displays that once incited the bones of an organic past
steeped in a rich broth, an ancestral heaving stew,
quietly simmering to a point of boil.
the humble ones, once, alive to the core, move to and fro,
cornered and stultified by conventions, babbling broken mantras,
they attempt to sooth the spirits daunting deadly pricks
the lipstick girls of the labial folds, who exist beyond the pale
of a refracting sun’s light, hover between ghostly spheres
of a lost sacerdotal history;
wet with gloss, they yearningly enchant youthful acolytes,
who, painted in salacious priestly pastels,
patterned up to placate the Ones,
are fully endowed and exuding in virginal carnality,
fall willingly into their own demise, caressed by the
spreading tongs, in the act of sacrificial obligation.
an archway opens out to a thriving and heaving plaza.
Deeper then thoughts
Wandering to nonhesitant places
Where at some point must have existed
Never once thought you'd fly
Spanning distances a glimpse could not look back
But somehow a flash within a shutter kept safe your memory
Amongst skyscrapers that gave the over view of asymmetric
Telling tales beneath wings you flew between hellos and goodbyes
Fragments of what seemed greater up close when magnified though admirable within distance
To what was said to fly but never had wings
Time
reversing wind
changing precipitations
asymmetric heating of the
aching wounds.. uplift the colliding
walls of peace.. sediments of ma-
rine planktons.. music of reeds rai-
n on the naked belly of the thirsty earth
Chameleon clouds
Tempting mesmerizing view
Pretty in pink shades
Kaleidoscope sky
Striking explosive colors
Majestic image
Dreamlike remote clouds
Uniquely asymmetric
Rorschach perceptions
The Cedar Stand
The cedars stand, three at hand,
their limbs unwind like twine.
Closely spaced their crowns embrace
thus, framing the divine.
Trunks forlorn have been transformed
two asymmetric sides.
Their roots breach a sandy beach
Gnarled knuckles deeply lie.
When the wind blows boldly bye
a flirting with the scene;
three dance in a wedgewood sky
like dryads in a dream.
