Best Incognita Poems

Peering beyond reach of human capacity
I revolve around the sun in a solar orbit,
Looking deep in space for origins of bygone
Going way beyond anyone has ever gone,
Exploring unknown world of astronomy
Searching light from first stars and galaxies
Traversing back in time where it all began,
Forming our...

So strange this land, old and yet young.
Where is this place of tall green trees,
and grey-haired men in unknown tongue?
they must have traveled summer's breeze.

Adobe brick quonset "chalets"
mud-soaked roadways in all the blocks.
WACs and wives and waifs everyday
midst hollyhocks and four o'clocks.

Los Alamos*, this place...

I heard of lands both far and near
where wealth beyond tale can conceive. 
With rivers deep and mountains sheer
for the brave to challenge and reave.
I heard of them and I believe
this call that moves me to explore.
I should follow my heart and weave
the path where...

I didn’t listen to his words
Even though, in my heart, I heard
When he told me I was a hypocrite
I found myself praying for God’s intervention
For the assurance that I wasn’t being
A hypocrite – a fraud, a phony
I wasn’t someone who was just pretending
To love the...

In my dream, I sailed away
Over the tame waters of a tranquil bay
And landed in a magic isle
Never set foot before by anyone alive
A pleasant retreat of birds and beasts
Far removed from world’s dust and heat
A terra incognita with a magic spell
Hidden away at Nature’s...

My reefs look dazzling in the dawn light.
A sea of hypocrisy and lies that we must fight.
They are held to what they are allowed to view,
And yield when they grip their identity and hue.

I can hear sighing while I'm still close firmly,
Millennia ago, by beings...

Terra Incognita

Diurnal moments margin in my head,
As metamorphosis pirouettes hands,
Nightmarish recall exit none be said,
An armistice mosey in of spilt sands.

Logjam beliefs wane gains, prosperity,
Erring hand fingered an island nation,
Right foresees windfall, voters clarity,
Left wins Red China, lost the...

Terra Incognita 

Hidden!
Uncharted eternity birthing
Roiling! 
In a slow dance
The pregnant pause of terra’s faults
 Breaks o p e n 
   In slip strikes
Earth’s fiery magma
Spit back into the hands of Heaven’s potter
Churning!
 Moody
  Mercurial
   Footprint on the landscape’s soul
Journey to...

The emerald forest uniquely so mystique,  
as far as I can see beyond the horizon,
shrouded by surreal stillness it spreads, 
wraps me as I amble in rippling breeze. 
Its charming cadence enthralls 
my essence suffused with rhapsody.  

As I walk on the fading...

Far beyond the reaches of the Milky Way
A galaxy exists which remains unnamed
Unseen by human eye or large telescope,
It is, to my knowledge, not yet defamed.

Pure and undefiled, suitable for living
In a Goldilocks zone yet to be uncovered
Fresh clean air, and an abundance of water,
Awaiting...

fear of the unknown

Cave of our heart, virgin and unexplored,
invites us to go in within,
relinquishing both thought and senses five,
that our soul’s journey may begin.

No sooner we so choose, without excuse,
magnetic currents engulf form,
bestowing God’s gift of rapturous bliss;
caress divine, tender touch warm.

We cognise the dance of polarities,
driven...

A supermoon 
Larger than Jupiter
Causes the King of Roman Gods
To feel small.

The unexplored region
Beyond the Milky Way
Waits a millennium
For the first arrivals

Colonists name their new world 
Prosperina, goddess of agriculture
Wine and freedom~
For they have escaped tyranny!

I know well of a cat's ear, eye, nose, teeth, coat, paws and claws,
Do I know, what's behind its look and mysterious pause?
I know a dog's acute sense of smell; muscles and fingers,
Do I know what's going-on when he quietly lingers?

I see my neighbor-child stand...
