Best Brines Poems

sometimes I sing 
antique anthems,
of the nights 
I was confined 
  within a bottle
of diamond tears,  
wept woefully
   from the widest sky
that held kaleidoscopic stars~
amidst festooned fields of 
pixie-dust flowers,
hanging like 
  starburst chandeliers, 
when t i m e was...

You remember oceans
Filling your wet footprints
With foam and salty brines
The tracks you left upon
Seashell crusted shorelines

You remember oceans
As immense illusions
Irregular and curled
Cutting slanted cliffs from
The wild ends of the world

You remember oceans
Majestic and complete
Like your heart 
when whales dive
Under aqua castles
Where coral is alive

You remember...

I hold myself a prisoner 
A captive taciturn 
Unspeakable enticement still yearning
Since coming of age to discern

Yet never knowing 
Except in part 
The fullness to overflowing
In the cerebral cortex of my heart

The heart knows reason
Which reason does not know 
Inoculated by truth a lie will...

A lighthouse blinked deep in the shadows' gray   
a fog-horn bordered at the distanced lines,
few stars were scattering above the bay
and scintillating mirrored in my eyes;
- my eyes were focusing upon the brines,
two forms outlined inside the nightly coals
and danced our waltz above...

A little taste of wine so many kinds
One that taste like rotten grapes, apples, brines
Some so strong spit_rinse
Need to get rid of that quince
Worst one reminded me of shoe shines

Cozy comfort
Silky bed linen;
Somnolence sums

~~~~~~~~~


Humid heat wave
Hot sticky sweat;
Fatigue brines

~~~~~~~~~


Thought in deep sway
Philosophy flings;
Wit sums humour

~~~~~~~~~


Love the first-cause
Life dances brisk;
Symbiosis

~~~~~~~~~


Start here
Live now;
Death sums

~~~~~~~~~


In this moment
Eternity hurls;
All-in bet

~~~~~~~~~


Too late now
Old man yearns;
Death's one leg in

~~~~~~~~~


Waiting time
Long clinic queue;
Off-flavour faces

On the wings of angel we will fly
Soaring above the harmonious cloud
Above nightingale will sings her sweetest lullaby
The air will spread its melody low and loud

I will take you onto the heaven's garden
We are free and safe on an angel wings 
On the wings of...

“I am not the body, which is but dust
I am not fickle and limited mind
To whom then comes the feral thrust of lust
Or for that matter, thoughts loving and kind” Unseeking Seeker 

I am more than a cosmic echo
of the revolving sun,
sprinkling saffron ashes,
serenading silent...

The air feeds fire that burns from wood;
The earth yields wood that water grows;
The fire now sires steam from cold moods;
The water fields strength as fire shows!


Such is the ring that goes and comes;
Four elements or five with wood;
Nature now sings in timely sum;
Sure elements...

Voice in sure choice such ample wit,
Observe the thrill of how you feel;
Love wears a poise with easy fit,
Urge knows a fill in ink stain quill;
Play of word brines where ideas swirl,
Thought cleavage shows in focal trance;
Use vivid lines to paint your world,
Oblige due passage...

Days with pain are yet to come
So as such the heart would bleed
Over the hole life has made
From which it’s been sprouted as seed
And the emptiness would hammer hard
On the broken and shattered heart.

The past would whisper into the core of mind
The future would fear...

Tale in a sale,
Spice with fine price;
Veil that shrouds pale,
Prize that fits vice.


Take what you make,
Dyke to speak right;
Stake a fine break,
Sight comes with light.


Glow with wise show,
Reach what you preach;
Flow as you grow,
Beach as you teach.


Laugh at vain stuff,
Thought helps the plot;
Rough can be...
