If you want to moderate this place, pick up the pace
From the mouth down to the @$$
Your so called kind has no class,
Fed by these political rejects, never elected for what was!
No matter,
They wipe their assets clean with...

The Most Compelling Flower
I remember the time-freezing moment
When Lieutenant Dan made his peace
And opened the dimension of gratitude
The audience experiencing the quickening

I myself have come full circle
And found a tranquil harmony
No longer griping about the government
The church, or scapegoats on TV

How immature for me to think
That fairness grows...

Premium Member Marrow, Mud, and Loon Lake
What's the espresso this evening, Rubicam?
My random access memory will light upon it
As I riffle the files of my brain.
Pulling out something fresh,
I burst out with words to cover the enigma.
Bones
Bones are the fare--
Stewed bones with marrow deep inside.

Cracking the bones of the chicken leg,
I...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry



Living Rainforest
The river winds zigzagging through rainforest connected to its soul
On one side there are mountains that are with minerals like gold platinum and coal
On the other ocean to which the river will fall
By the curve of the river tree grows tall

It is tall, forked bifurcate...

The Other Side
The ultimate consciousness is strong at the base
But what is beyond it in celestial place
Like a beacon for souls in space
Like of divine it is the face

Blue and silver yet never melancholic but vibrant and alive
Towards perfection it does not need to strive
It has incredible...

Sequoia
All it is a giant tree
But it brims with beauty
And majesty
It is truly awe inspiring thing to see

In ancient Britain they believed heaven is down not up in the sky
Sequoia is tall enough to reach the sky
Where birds will fly
But its roots deep in earth...

Web of Life
Komodo dragon has serrated teeth
And anything crocodile grabs in his jaws is dead meat
The flowers make nectar that is sweet
But everything that lives must eat

Nature can balance it all
But we believe in existence of soul
Is there more
Something beyond evolution’s control

That which truly might be bliss
It...

Premium Member Let Me Live
let me live
don't burden me 
with more than I can bear
don't coerce me
into believing things
from your reference point
I'm tired
let me live

these decisions weigh me down
the expenditure of thought
analytical thinking
that goes against the grain
of my compassionate heart
taxes me
it comes at a cost
I'm tired
let me live

my struggles...

My Pyramid
When wind blows through poplar tree
One can sense time in all its majesty
In all its glory
But also perhaps in all its possibility

Something evolving in bubble of no existence 
With evolution not needing reference point in its existence
Could life form created in this form of existence
See...

Seashell
Sea
Is full of majesty
Person picks up seashell from the sea
To listen to ballad of the sea

The duns are covered by sea holy 
The seashell song is of destiny
It unveils the soul of the sea
And persons own soul aches listening to its beauty

Above the sea sunset...

Beauty Is Evanescent
Beauty is evanescent

My eyes have seen 
unspeakable,
incomprehensible 
beauty.

I thought I knew 
what beauty was
and then...
I met you!

Your apparition
left me astonished
entranced, tongue tied,
mesmerized...

My eyes 
could never 
be the same again...
how could they be... 
as all the beauty 
beforehand seen
now had a new 
reference point... 
and that...

Soul Flower
Only time will tell
Whether at the end there is heaven or hell
I will not give the devil his do
Nor will I burn for you

The celestial mist enters the dream
In it destinies like dimensions will swim
All reference points are in abstract
The whole everything in it is...

Lord of the North, King of the South
The day comes to a close
Enchanting golden sunset appears above the lake
Peacefulness of the lake comes down the soul
Yet it is like an eye of the storm

Soon the silver blue countenance of the moon appears
As fishermen sail towards home
They feel uneasy 
Like something is watching...

Towards Ultimate Goal
Magic opens paradox of omnipotence and destiny
This is something of incredible beauty
If storm of points beyond destiny
Having no reference point to time would be

How far eye can see
As far as its biology
No, as far as spirit can see
At the base as far as not bound...
