Best Reignites Poems
When smoke consumes clear horizons,
manipulating corridors of the mind,
beckoning imminent afflictions
poetry is the remedy.
A poet's first eternal love,
forming an authentic bond.
A tonic of silent expressions
creating a potion of poetic confessions.
When the soul
reignites the muse,
stars become brighter,
the sun mightier and majestic,
the moon mysteriously tranquil
so we weave words of wisdom.
When emotive ink becomes the essence,
that flows deeper than rivers of blood,
piercing through ruptured veins
we express words the tongue cannot utter.
Poetry never broke my heart,
my poems are forever faithful.
When passages of life become obscure
unwind the mind, for poetry is the cure.

A tease on the wings of summer's breeze
A tickle in the touch of whispering winds
A glimpse at the art of museum paintings
A stare in the eyes of flowering spring--
A poem is a song of my innermost feelings.
When I'm lost in confines of my thoughts
Solace I seek from brilliant cosmic stars
Prodding for answers to question marks
Uncovering truth in words of a paradox,
As the beat of poetry reignites my heart.
Verses I compose in fragrance of Jasmines
Linger merrily around blossoms of roses
Listening to voices of fluttering tree leaves
Soliciting rhymes from elate vocabulary,
Evoking the cadence of rhythmic melodies.
A giggle in a stream, a smile in my morning
A romantic kiss in the splendor of evening
An aesthetic dream in my night's revelry
A lonesome tear of my un-consoled grief--
My poetry's the answer to call of my musings.

Verse
I am the dying light in the sky,
That makes you wonder if you are real,
Or if i am all that is left of your existence.
And you my darling, are the same to me,
But in this lonely darkness,
I glow and wonder if I exist,
Or if you are all that keeps my light burning.
I breathe happieness from your laughter,
My light comes from the radience of your skin,
I steal my fire from your lips,
And when I feel myself burning out,
I gaze down upon your joy,
And it reignites my essence.
You long to touch me, to hold me,
And wonder if I can make you feel alive,
If I can fill you with heaven.
You do not know that when your fingers,
Sweep across my skyline,
You are filling me instead.
You never believed I could love you,
With all the fierceness of dragons now dead,
You never believed that anyone could love you as I have,
As I have and always will.
I fill your being as you so too fill mine,
And this lonely existence does not seem so sad.
I thrive off of your energy and strength,
My happiness grows from your smile,
My fire burns brighter for you,
And you do not know that you feed my soul.
I will love you till the last star has died,
And the sun is nothing but burning embers,
Ready to be a whisp of smoke,
And I am all thats left in the universe,
To fill you with wonder.
I will love you when your old bones,
Wither and turn to dust,
And ash is all thats left of the mountains,
And cracked clay all thats left of the rivers,
And a Graveyard lies where there was once an ocean.
I will love you beyond that,
And lie in the cosmic circles,
Dreaming of your warm skin,
And how it filled me for eons.
I will love you so much that-
I will search the universe for your atoms,
So I can piece you back together again,
And we can create the art of making love.
You never believed that someone could love you like that,
But you are the light in the world,
That makes me know that I exist,
That I am not just dying embers,
Without you in my arms,
I might never have known I could breathe.

Truth is the singing spark
within your soul and the
compassionate veins
of the porcelain moon,
composing lullabies
like an arcane talisman,
when words are mere
daggers to the heart
that aches for an
empathetic empyrean.
I’ve written tales with tortured ink
in silence beneath starless skies,
when the music of life fades
into salt-soaked sands,
drenched in monotonous beads
of obsidian mists,
listening to the golden grains
in the wishing well,
whisper poetic verses
of unwritten reality,
for, between erased lines
of every story,
there are three sides~
one that would illuminate
the flame of a raging rose,
while the sun before the pouring petals
reignites the cosmic candle
burning amidst liquid darkness.
But what if the rest
of what is left in this story
isn’t for you to read?
Perhaps, in hushed stillness,
when birds breathe
there in the breeze that
carries the chorus of
a nocturnal nightingale,
you shall find
languid lyrics I’ve buried
in the deep blue abyss
where coldness floats.
So let these unsung letters
weave confetti dreamcatchers,
ringing tunes of twinkling twilight
when loneliness cloaks
the periwinkle pillow
where you hide your
piercing pendulum,
in riveting restlessness,
as mismatched metaphors
within misinterpreted dialogues
remain mere white noise,
and my love would linger
like sakura streaks
caressing your silhouette
in secret, while every page
of the novel
translates the sincerity
of romance~
forsaken,
yet
not
forgotten….

She is my dear
And I’ve only known her for about a year
She is an athlete
Cause she keeps running through my mind
She is a NASCAR driver
Cause she makes my heart race so fast
She is a painter
Cause she fills my life with colours
She is the grim reaper
Cause she takes my breath away
She is a soldier
Cause she is loyal no matter the distance
She is an electrician
Cause she always reignites the spark
She is a pirate
Cause she’s found the X on my heart
She is an astronaut
Cause every moment with her is out of this world
She is a wrestler
Cause loving me is her signature move
She is my girlfriend

Lyric
A beautiful mind, one of a kind
Kept alone, river of love as dry as a bone
Hidden from society, protected from it's immoral notoriety
With no purposed intent, a conversation with unexpected extent
An act best described as divine, two lonely souls intertwine
Causing apprehension at first, both groomed to expect the worst
An explosion of attraction, fulfilment and soulful satisfaction
Perfectly calculated chemistry, flawless like an act of wizardry
Forged from lonely contemplation, defences destroyed by recent reflection
Most priceless gift of hope, hastened by the hart's grope
Reignites a forgotten fire, once fueled by lustful desire
Now an untainted yearning of late, for the soul's perfect mate
With the splendor of honesty, the most wonderful dream a possibility
With distance the test, love will conquer with no contest
A Fairy tale unfolds, with the best still untold
A lesson on what we can achieve, when we are willing to BELIEVE.

What happens when you come to the wall.
The intimidating, insurmountable, wall of life.
Wall of life you say? there's no way.
How does a wall get the moniker "of life"?
It doesn't grow, it doesn't reproduce.
It doesn't exude any life juice.
What is the essential quality of life?
its the ability to adapt to any and all strife
its the ability to eviscerate any obstacles, a knife.
Is it becoming clearer to you the reason for the name?
It is because it see's you playing life's game.
It sees that you have become dull and tame.
It's here to reinvent an entirely new frame.
Realizing you've come to this particular wall.
Try to climb up, you'll surely fall.
You no longer feel quite so tall.
It looks like you've dropped the ball.
Ah! But that is what's so great.
It reignites that internal debate
Makes you ponder, re-evaluate
Searching for other routes, maybe a gate
Makes you adapt, change your pace
It inspires all who encounter it to come face to face
Where Anxieties and dreams come center place
Looking to see if you are winning life's race
Eventually, the answer will come to you with grace.
That this wall is encountered by all who share its space.
That it is within us and will represent its case,
for us to finally come to terms with our organic base.
Only those who have survived this wall will adore;
that there is no answer this wall is looking for.
Only that it is a creation you made from within;
to signal that it is time to begin again.

Sat upon the mountain, high above the world below,
The stars in the sky twinkled with a burning glow.
Heart ached with loneliness in the silence of the night,
In darkness deep and void of light,sought the spark that reignites the fight.
The ocean, the shore, feels the waves crash against his feet,
His heart begins to race, a feeling hard to beat.
The moon, like a lantern, guides through the dark depths of his soul.
Soaring above the clouds, and reaching for the stars with the wings unfold.
The wind ceases its whispering, allowing to hear the echoes of the past,
Recognizes the melody of life, intertwined with the harmony of love that lasts.
With renewed purpose and clarity gained, he left the ocean behind,
Continues his journey along with the life that he signed.
Felt the rhythmic swaying of the ship and the sound of waves crashing,
Yearns to once again feel the wind in his hair and the salt on his lips.
Inhaled a deep breath of salty air,savouring the moment before exhaling,
With all the hate he bears and the love that is undying.

Rhyme
I sit in solitude, with the moon as my light,
its fickle glow obscured by calico clouds.
The air feels heavy
as silence adds its weight to the brumous glume.
A bloated bullfrog croaks curses,
failing to attract an empathic ear.
And the blahs block the twinkling stars
upon this desolate riverbank;
as if they no longer existed!
Oblivion is the prize I seek
in my tug-of-war between dream and reality.
I spy a ring of ripples in the inky waters,
and suddenly, swans swim into the moonlight!
Alabaster sculptures carved into the night;
their innate beauty touches my heart.
A smile uplifting my spirits reignites the candle of hope.
They're such a delight! A vision strong enough to break
the chains of depression;
like sparks in the dark, where once I saw only darkness.

Far away i hear
A loud but instructing voice
Talking to me humbly
How i should face life
Every word i get
Retaining i will, to remember you dad
Mum i love you dearly
Only that i have nothing
That can show my
Honesty towards you mum
Everydayy i give you
Respect as you deserve it
Being close to you
Reignites joy in my heart
Only that you can't see it
To love you i have always done
Honesty has being my motto
Everyday of my life
Respect is my duty
Singing a love song for you
Is the only way to show
Secrets i have always hidden from you
Together we walked those days
Everyday we enjoyed life
Reunion is the only way now.

My heart felt old; I sought the cold.
Canada’s land was what I planned.
Among trees grand and far inland
To dance my sad brand of sarabande.
Yet precious moments come when joy flowers,
Far briefer than Four-O’clocks,
As resurrected visions composed of spectral smoke,
Reignite our love in brief rapture; abruptly fading.
Far from the shores I now abhor
Where eyes of blue were wrenched from view;
A grisly depart for my sweet heart -
A rag doll tossed and dragged into the deep.
Winter trees in chiaroscuro
Cuffed by icicles grip and snow.
Dark, defrocked beeches beseeching;
Limbs pleading for the sap of Spring.
Staring into those leafless woods
As cotton obscurity falls;
And gloaming passes into night,
Something I see sheds its dark veil.
Life bursts anew; I plainly view
Your windswept raven hair framing
Jeweled eyes and lips set in tan
An amaranthine vision of
Our ancient love, so evergreen
Waiting sweetly in the deep snow.
So near, so there, but not now here
A snapping branch broke quietude.
Daring damsel of Tavira,
My heart still glows at thoughts of thee
Cuddled close on Algarve beach
White wave swash foam tickling our toes.
Our brash love was a high wire act
Done without any safety net.
Diving the sky, diving the deep;
Scaling the peaks; dancing in Rio.
Passion flowed allegro con brio;
Alloying us ‘neath moon and sun.
Until you vanished in the swirling sea
West of the sandy swath of Algarve.
Stolen, seized by a great white shark
As your surfboard raced past mine.
Absent your smile my life seems spent
As if impaled on Triton’s trident.
Yet precious moments come when joy flowers,
Far briefer than Four-O’clocks,
As resurrected visions composed of spectral smoke,
Reignites our love in brief rapture, abruptly fading.

Come lay your heart now over mine
Cause it to feel the rhythmic beat
Let your nearness revive…bring life
Electric shock of body heat
My heart is faint, about to die
Weary, sure to give up this fight
Come lay your heart, love, over mine
Bring monitor to life with light
Heart over heart the beat transfer
From your quickened electric pace
My heart catches the vital spark
As I look up into your face
Lips to lips now resuscitate
Your limbs on mine now intertwine
Body upon body infuse
Call me back from heav’n divine
My heart flutters and starts to beat
Intensifies, responds to kiss
Body tingles with healthy glow
Heart beat is strong… nothing a miss
When life imparting work is done
You slowly start to pull away
Checking for vital signs of life
Your face over my heart must stay
You listen for the rhythmic sound
Your head rides on my heaving breast
My breaths of life your hair caress
Your head turns as you kiss each crest
My body, soul, and mind refreshed
I reach for you, love reignites
Now my heart lies on top of yours
Resuscitating from the heights!

The Krama path of step by step progression
Also goes by the name of kundalini ascension
The path if there is any path being emptiness
As we slowly erase ferality from consciousness
Desires & fears & attachments & ego craving
All that is transient and as illusions oscillating
Thus making space within for magnetic synergy
Drawing in osmotically divine life pulse energy
Stilling not stillness we let stillness still our being
Transmuting consciousness to bliss enlivening
Now the manner of the energy path may be any
It could be sudden & turbid or gentle & sedentary
What matters most is we rest all vicarious knowing
For what unfolds in reality is amazingly scintillating
In any case thoughts are imaginary & delusional
In silence & stillness we cognise the divine miracle
Our orientation shifts to innocence simply flowing
There being no finality to each enablement glowing
As on date this traveller does affirm with certainty
That explosive ecstatic bliss reignites in continuity
Within
