Brilliance and Madness

Howard Robard Hughes
Famously rich recluse
Dreams led him to the lap of luxury
Followed by nightmarish mysophobic OCD

Rich playboy aviator Howard Hughes
With movie starlets kept himself amused
Dated Katherine Hepburn
Bette Davis took her turn
And still more, which kept the tabloids confused

Born Howard Robard Hughes to a...

Universal Brilliance
The brilliance of the universe has already unfolded. Our lives are wrinkles in that universal crease. And everything we have witnessed is merely one fold in that unfolding. If God's map is infinite, we should be peering beyond heaven. We should at least be in...

Premium Member Brilliance of Rosetta Stone
Meaningless squiggles and wiggles
Noted for decades 
Without collaborated meaning

Rosetta Stone discovered at last
The missing correlation
Brilliance of a Wise mind

Ancient abstract squiggles
Consolidated wiggles
Revealed under desert sand

Proof of ones or ones 
Who cared and dared shared
Translation key to the world...

Exciting... inviting...

Anticipation's wing
   Horizon's swing

Eyes peeled on the Heavens
   Murky darkness imperceptibly
                    whitening...
Lighter, lighter
   Brighter, brighter

The Brilliance of the Ending Day
Let's sit under the tall, satured elm after the long-gone storm;
its branches, unwavering and steaming, are awfully warm.
They stretch their drooping arms to brush off the remaining hues,
those of a placid sunset turned apple-red.
Hear me warbling along with the shivering mockingbird,
too lonely and in somber...

Premium Member Yellow and Illuminating Brilliance
Out on  porch to glimpse a sunrise
Orange sun cast gray 'on clouds
Whispy light airy sparse white clouds 
On horizon not like shroud

Then as the sun inched up orange 
Disappeared replaced by
Illuminating brilliance clear
Against blue blue sky

Dramatic change for human eyes
I longed to stay awhile
How...

Obsolete Brilliance
So concerned with the skill
But anyone's skilled with language
Everyone knows the power of will
Though words rarely show knowledge

So i say screw the pettiness of being clever
I say screw those who value wit over truth
Why do we appreciate those under cover
Yet we let them hide because...

Unexplained Brilliance
A sudden
 sonoluminescence
 manifested
 in a river of eyes,
 a sigh drawing
 vision 

The spray of their rays
 issued into a void
 barren of illumination,
 its essence devoured
 with the absence
 of brilliance 

Broken skies
 illuminated with scars,
 fragmented earth
 felt the first radiance,
 one...

Premium Member With Wisdom's Brilliance
Illumined with wisdom’s* brilliance

my mind shuts vague shadows

lurking in vain conceit...

revived, my heart graciously strives

to open love-windows

serving God by His light.

Sparkling brilliance




Little princess was in tears out of tremendous stress,
Her school mates in innocence made her a fool,
The King failed to take note of her zing,
A retreat to cope up with her blooming elite,
Her intelligence that radiated beams of a perfect brilliance,
When blessed from above...

Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking was bogged down in space.
Just one eye moved around in his face.
But in spacetime he leapt
like a quantum and kept
all of us far behind his great pace....

Premium Member An Awkward Child
A mother's hand trembles
     as she brushes a tear from her eyes;
while watching her awkward child
     standing all alone, forgotten.
As others, in their budding self-awareness,
     catch glimpses as they run by, playing
at their...
