Best Subsisted Poems

'Twas a timeless and starless era of dense obscurity.
But there! a self-perpetuating luminary--the deity:
Being of old, the first around.
No one knows his age... those numbers abound.
His name subdivides into many.
He can be called by any.
This entity subsisted when nothingness was.
Those infallible feet trod elsewhere made...

From Poland hailed your Uncle Max, who in matters of manners was a bit lax,
While from France came Aunt Belle, whom I thought was really quite swell.
Next up from Russia was Cousin Boris, whom I always confused with Nephew 
  Morris;

And then from Germany...

I remember the dream of Austria
As the war for me was finally closing 
High in my turret upon the Sherman
I entered this mountain paradise at last
Until I reached the earthly gates of hell

Within those eyes I found despair
That spark of life long dead
Their hearts filled...

Nopalero = one who deals with/sells nopales [edible prickly pear cactus leafs/pads]

Aiiiii, Jimmy --
what shall we say, now that you've gone,
worst fear realized:  your body discovered,
days later, in your filthy Mexican rooms,
amid the soiled paper littering the floors,
reeking of cat urine and layer upon...

All we eat is elk meat, boiled elk, roasted elk, elk jerky
sometimes fried elk if we get bear or whale oil,
oh, and sometimes elk soup,
for four months we've subsisted exclusively on elk
except for occassional dog meat, candlefish or duck,
the elk have become our saviors, and...

Yesterday, playful children engaged with the outside    
Endlessly enjoying their midsummer day's ride    

Today, another car collision, stuck in traffic  
Overwhelm by the society’s demographics  

Tomorrow, weary and mangled from overworking  
Needing assistance my aching legs...

They assembled and gathered
Like they have done forever
One joining the other and another
Simple, friendly and smiling faces
Trotting calmly to catch the pace
Knowing destination will be exceeded
As the abundant will continue to drive
Weakened limbs energized by the sand
Caring not of city man’s worries
Slowly the crowd is...

The Blossoms Cleared Out


When she was alive
She talked about the good days
Pineapples and sugarcane
Wild and feral 
She worked in those fields long ago
As a native of Hawaii
And as a child growing up in paradise
She loved her home
Especially the fruits of her labor and roots
She and...

Despite the elapsed time after their ending; after their abjuration - an elapsed time that subsisted like some weary stream without direction - her advent felt like some new season, some new world that had hibernated through the harsh tempests. Her visit brought with it...

Once Earth was full of wild brutes, 
Hunting animals subsisted their livelihoods. 
Slowly, steadily they learnt upliftment, 
What we accepted later as civilisation. 

Today in this modernised world, 
We follow new-fashioned approaches and genres. 
Maybe we are greedy and gluttonous, 
But we are affable and...

as soon as I spill ink on paper
I can't stop it.
it's like filling 
recollections into the paper
Once subsisted or not


feels forgotten
to recollect the recollections once more
woebegoneness that I have been imbibing


from a to z,
from top to bottom,
without missing anything between..

like they say
every single detail is...

Goals Are The Legs Of Dreams
Written: by Miracle Man
January 30, 2021

For years I subsisted on transparent dreams,
then God enlightened me with this fact.
 Ambitions without goals would remain futile wishes,
and wishing would get me nowhere, I had to act.

Then I posted my goals on a...

lapis lazuli offered me 
protection,as I walked 
the land of the dead


being just half woman 
and the shadows puppet,
i subsisted in nowhere
for eons


my darkness ended
as a mirror of  light,
shone a course
to cross a river


a silhouette waited, 
at the beginning


with one 
breath of life left
I...

Valentine has come
in the smooth dispersal fragrance of the newest blooming flowers
in the thrilled embroidered wings of airborne butterflies
in the sweet songs of spring birds, in the voices of cuckoo 

Valentine has come
in the luminous canvas of the blue sky where beloved wears vernal dresses
in...

Awakening from dreamy fantasies,
Equal to departing birds from their nest
When prime rays of sun wake up Earth.

Towards exploration of world,
Voyaging out of customary dwelling,
For explicit proficient life.

Forging purpose of composure,
Innumerable entities subsisted 
Just exceptional brought in unique.

Pitching a plausible promising goal,
Actions parallel to specific endeavour,
A...
