Best Opaqueness Poems
Beguiling placidity of luring hiss
Upon the oblivion of a venomous kiss
Like the grasping toxin of a viper’s sting
Amidst a violet lullaby the night-sky would sing,
Sable sky, O reflection of debility
Clutching the soul into peaceful futility
With your visage so pallid, and O so white
Shining above clouds ashen as the night,
Brewing darkness, dwelling with might
Tearing the sun as your opaqueness ignites
Approaching you emerge with eternal power
All orbs fade as dreams devour…

Couplet
Awakening, cocooning
The air with tenderness, breathing,
As it waters arid grounds, speaking,
As it drenches the air with harmonious sounds, it makes
One succumb the soul,
It makes one
Thank God…
Nature’s divinity, as
It enraptures me, liberating
My soul from earth’s dimness and
Opaqueness…
In its arms I am, and
Within its embrace I’ll eternally be…

He was sitting alone in the corner
In a little cafe at the painting of Monet
And was talking to imaginary friend
About thinness opaqueness fear
Sensation of heat cold anger despair
Cruelty he claimed is the language of reality
Not the barren lame poetry with vulgar
Metaphors hiding behind empty words
Cruelty was the only honest way
To open the hidden heavy doors
Into suffering human soul and heart
And talk about things that matter
Through shamanic art of reaching
Deep into the guts of true teaching
And bringing light to the dark corners
That have never been lit before
Actors dancing in overpowering way
Manikins with terrifying theatrical faces
With empty eyes staring at the audience
And drilling through their souls
Objects of strange proportions
Surfacing in a dreamy scenery
Of unrecognizable ghostly world
Of the modern stage transformed
By the means of the theater of cruelty
It is the only way to be honest
To himself Artaud claimed
And believed
He was right
He sacrificed his life
To this idea
And died lonely forgotten
On the bare floor
Next to metal bed
That stood at the door
He tried to open so hard
In a madhouse
Where magic of theater
Truly belongs

Ballad
Amdist chaos
The stuterring
jerks & airpockets
The voyage
Continues...
There is a storm
Brewing
in the black coffee cup
Caffine and chikory
Like hope and faith
A little feelable
A wee bit emotional
Are the cogs of
Lifes wheels....
Without much ado
The cup stands
Majestically
On the saucer bay
The handle
Gracious as can be
Stands out
Sure and silent...
The saucer our faith
The cup our selves
The handle our body
The trio syncronise
To brave all storms
As thoughts intangible
Try might to become tangible..
The smoke screen and the clouds
Seem all porous and transparent
The opaqueness disappears ...
And despite
The storm in the coffee
cup...
Alls well as another day
We look forward
With joy mirth and happiness

"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief" ~ by Constance La France
Only once I looked into her pale, weak face.
In white hospital sheets, she lay motionless,
A bag of bones! Her chest heaving high and low
In her eyes, a well of unarticulated pain
How could I pacify her or quell her fears
When both of us knew it would be
Perhaps our last meeting ever!
Longed to wipe away her aches with a caress
But my weak hands didn’t budge an inch
Knew my heartbeats rising into a frenetic pitch
And an opaqueness shrouding my eyes
Did I hear the thud of glassware,
Cracking into a hundred shards?
I tried to camouflage my emotions
But a sudden surge of sorrow welled within
Before I could restrain, a tear tumbled down.
How hard I tried to control the deluge of sorrow.
Finding it in vain, I turned my face away.
After moments, gaining composure
Once again I turned to her
This time our glances intertwined
And her thin lips curved into a smile
I knew it was her effort to console me
Or in that split second
Did a lifetime of our companionship
Fleet across her feeble mind
I could hearken to the murmur of her heart
“Don’t worry! In the Kingdom of Light
I shall soon find a nest where I’ll wait!”
Her whispered words built a dam across my grief
But could break anytime with the slightest shock!

Late
When opaqueness reigns
Over the aspect of cycles
And chains
Every soul should be reminded
Of how vile the word has sounded
Opaqueness never reigns
It never comes
Never remains.
Opaqueness is the lack of light
In every soul
Drowned in fright.

M y…O My!
O paque, can only describe the void
T hat engulfs the sky,
H ide me, for my forlorn spirit
E mbodies pain which I deny,
R ain, as it precipitates my cries…
Just a day…
Without seeing your silhouette,
Blinded by your absence, as I regret
My powerlessness…
Just a day…
As I sit and wait,
Impatiently, I anticipate
Your warmth, your tenderness…
Motionlessly, I sit and contemplate,
Just a day…
As it perpetually passed by,
As opaqueness drenched the sky…
I calmly sighed, as I picked up a calendar…
I crossed out “Day one” with tears in my eyes…
As I quietly murmured,
“Six more days to go…”

I fear the earth
Creepy phenomena lie on it.
So broad and hard to comprehend.
For good and bad it has to let.
I fear the grave yard
The most Treasury place I've seen
Aborted dreams and detorted visions it holds.
Only if they were established.
I fear my shadow
It's unstable as mankind behold
Always trying to outsmart me
For shadows are secrets we hold.
I fear humanity
It,no one can fathom.
By it's end part views calamity.
And by its beginning lies opaqueness of truth atom.
I fear animals
Always out to pray on victims.
Aborting dreams of the weak
And causing them confusion.
I fear the one above
The Almighty, strong and mercify.
I fear him greatly
For in him mankind evolves.

OPAQUENESS
Posing introvert,
being aloof and alert,
remaining inert,
You are staying far apart
possessing an opaque heart.
I am transparent
owning bright heart salient.
Waiting fervent.
Me luminous radiant.
Opaqueness undercurrent.

Just to sit back and watch someone
pounding them down.
Do they not know that the laughter will
someday turn to a frown.
Can they not see what they’re
doing to us?
When it is brought up, this subject
they just can’t discuss.
Can’t they see what they’re doing to
their lives.
And what about their friends, their
children and their wives?
Everything is covered over with an opaqueness
so they don’t have to see,
The devastation being caused by this lethal
“cup of tea”.
It seems that their troubles they think
they can drown,
By just drinking one more cola, with just one
more shot of Crown.
I had to write this because I’ve lost friends and
my husband this way,
and I just can’t believe there’s a drink in this world, that
is worth the price they had to pay.

i lie supine here gazing at the lonely star
smiling at you on the other side the sea
vast endlessness changing hues
of manifestations
cursive flow of thoughts opaqueness etches
itself now
emerging of identities ensuing division
black or white blood is red
hair ablaze hallowing
luscious trees with shining leaves
contorted limbs from the last war
war is a crime
luminous flowers blooming into
desirous dreams
psychadelic penetration
blood is red

Bio
The room is dark and empty as I lay with my mind racing with thoughts that I
can’t control or even attempt to contain to the point I feel my heart filled with
fear. My eyes swell with tears of utter frustration and deep regret as the tears
burns while cutting in to my cheek escaping to my soaked pillow.
The pressure seems to only increase with every shallow breath that I take. I
feel as if the pain has put its hands around my body and began to squeeze and
refuse to let go the more I cry out the tighter you squeeze. I’m trapped in this
dark tunnel with tons of sorrow and emptiness all alone while the life is being
sucked from me with every breath I take.
I clinch on to anything right before I black out from the intense battle I soon
lose to something much bigger than me. Defeated and beat up and sobbing
uncontrollably I gasp for air crawling to the spot of light in the pitch black well
of misery.
With every bit of me I pull my lifeless body filled with nothing more but pain
and bitterness with shooting thoughts of all my past bad choices stabbing me
continuously so I just lay there hoping it will dissolve although it only
intensifies with opaqueness of the open space.
Why do I feel like I’m fighting a battle that I Destin to lose No matter how
much I cry. How does your mind turn on you and your not even sure why. Why
take what little sunshine I have left and replace it with despair and leave me
with the only emotions that will break anyone you leave me no other escape.
I began to brake then I soon shatter in to nothing sweating and shaking No
voice to scream, moan or whisper. My eye filled with emptiness, my heart filled
with flames with to the point of combustion, leaving a scorched massive hole in
my chest. I’m officially empty and I have nothing left to take of give I’m broken
beyond any repair how did my mind ever drift off and take me there.

a sheer jump
into the bare waste
of an almost forgotten
dream, with opal
opaqueness and an allure
that could conjure so much
of a life so wanted
and a whirl of vague desire
that we don’t want it to
end.

It’s really a busy day
with confreres coming over
for a meeting, an encounter;
yes, it’s a beautiful moment -
a way to get reconnected.
However, it’s also exhausting
to be in full swing of movements
driving to the airport, running some errands;
a real picture that’s painted in these days.
Oh, some complaints and criticisms,
can still be heard and learned
from those who always spill
their remarks against one another.
Humans as we are, yet we still forget
our individual differences
matter in our quest for running streams
where God’s spirit reigns therein
the wholeness of being called a confrere.
It must be a jarring departure
for someone who’s got a closed world,
opaqueness in some other ways
that relationship with others therefore,
needs to be deepened and challenged.
Signs of hope can be traced here
along with pains and difficulties,
though our attitudes reveal
in situations normally shared.

Transparency
How can we understand
the body's opaqueness
is in truth..transparent..?
Many layers of confusion
have hindered
this understanding..
The body as object
as limited and dense
is the discovery
we all make at birth..
This act of creation
allowing each of us to
be one as oneself and
survey the world..
The ache each feels
accompanies creation:
simply a longing for home
a transparent fullness
which our birth has veiled..
