Where Has All The Beauty Gone?

There is no time like the now times,
The ever-present blood-swooshing times.
Time again to surrender as a smitten lover surrenders,
To the never-ending rhapsodies of erotic impulses,
Which exhale as a listless leviathan exhales,
Basking in the swishing waters off the windy capes, 
Naked,...

Ascension to Ascending

A silhouette I saw standing there, 
the most beautiful to see. 
I was amazed in astonishments', 
as I had fallen to my knees. 

My eyes were full of tears; 
Making it harder for me to see 
That silhouette I saw standing there was...

Still Life for Words in C Sharp Minor

They strolled the shady avenues 
under a noon sun in the summer,
smelling the emergent gardenia bulbs 
spinning maniacally in their mastery;
so they gathered up the white flowers 
with practiced deliberate fingers,
bringing them to their stuffy noses, 
to breathe...

it's not at our opt to stay
And
Live this life,
Poverty offered
A land,
We breath trembling
Our bodies,
Hearing gunshots,
Fleeing,
Screaming
Stepped With knife,
Hollering for help,
Honestly it gets us
Filled with worries

Trailed blood indicating
Wrecked,
I see no breathing
Nor trying,
It seem Departed.

Sobbing when she have been 
Forced into it,
Her feminine spoilt by pirates
While she acts...

One old man slouched down with his worn bent-brimmed hat
Wrinkled face covered, asleep in reverie
Comfortable in his enclosed habitat
Across his boney chest, hands so leathery
Body now bone, shriveled, which once stored-up fat
In his daydreams and REM dreams a treasury
Memories of those youthful accomplishments
Carry him on...

Like drums, guitars, keyboards and pianos 
They run on a string of notes.
That reaches the limits of unlocking astonishments… 
The sound sifts to obtain dead notes 
And you are left in an incurable feeling, 
Until its destruction.
By ignorance the notes will never leave your circle...

The old man stumbles, 
the young man swaggers with assurance; 
stars of grace and suns of perfect 
promise point to journeys yet uncharted 
on their pathways to fulfillment.

The old man dreams of childhood, 
cherished memories and golden opportunities. 
The young man yearns for sexual expression.

your beauty, hidden inside
can only be felt, or experienced
but not explained, in words, or otherwise
for it is perfect, pure, infinite
that illuminates the elements of my soul
in a mystic radiance that leads me to the 
lotus steps of your abode, always.

I, lose myself, in this process
meandering...

The Finest Destinations

Open the picture album now.

Clasped in fake gold with plastic ridges,
It is stunningly old, and yellowing;
An odorous time machine, 
Filled with ancient heartbeats,
Frozen in the unstoppable hour,
Like grave stones in the snow.
Look at page one, leaning there, 
The sixteen year old Mexican girl,
With...

Talking apple and oranges may deliberate,
 wondering to what has been considered.
Different things altogether just multiplied,
 losing the string of thoughts refined.
