Best Temples Poems

sari of morn floats

draping temples with orchids,

as Angkor Wat blows its mist

to flame coned incense;

and in the still of homage

pilgrims wander with their gods.


Angkor Wat, Cambodia

His heart was a philosopher's stone
that broke down happiness
to it's components
of sex and being alone.

Her skin was the Ouija board
he used in order to receive
messages beyond her soul.

And when they were rapt
in their circle of consummation,
they found the face of
erotic compassion....

Temples of Temptatious Time


Love cascades as liquid lust and moonbeams throw a thriving thrust

The gods walk on their carnal crust drinking nectar a menstrual must

Amidst their ambient amorous array raining roses a botanical display

Love bewitches a beguiling ballet vestal virgins with a floral bouquet

Without pause, she chased questions beyond shifting, twilight moods. 
A flickered breath, an emblazoned soliloquy drifted aflame,
Later, I showered her with temples of candlelight and roses

Some temples are cluttered.
Everywhere there are
wrathful-playful-sexual-vengeful-
gesturing-carousing-beckoning-
ascending-descending-riding-
weeping-flying-singing,
or just sitting around
   Gods.

The congregation ride luggage carts 
in the dead of night,
sing drunkenly, slam doors, 
or watch HBO with the volume way up,

That was a hotel in Muncie Indiana.
A temple I shared with a rumba dancing...

Do you dare present me your Indigent heart, and presume it worthy? 
Do you imagine you may claim my crown through Obtuse eyes?
You walk upon this land I have won, disgracing the temples of battle 
Which the memory of my lost soldiers Consecrate,
As you, in...

In these desert lands,
there are these ancient sites.
I've come to meet with the powerful ones.
the ones who will guide me.

 In this antique city,
where the granite pillars stand.
walls are carved with age-old stories,
remnants of color are still preserved.
Where I come to speak to the gods.

In the wind I hear a voice, the voice I've grow to expect. It whispers so passionately. This is what I detect.
The rain sings a melody, that is magic to my ears. It's sings words of sorrow and I comforts my fears.
Lightning cracks with temperament...

beaming flowers of red
and magenta emancipating
trees breaking branches
handicapped yellow dog
ruminating cows urinating

land of the ruined temples...

In the east samurai opens the cave of elements of which there are four
In the South American wilderness emeralds beautify temple floor 
Above this temple stone winds soar
Lost pyramid in Africa welcomes a monk that arrives on African shore

The spirit moves like wind blowing near

Every woman is,
A temple of God's love,
However,
When with a child, she becomes, 
The holiest of the temples
For
The divine Will of our Lord does
Incarnate,
Thus 
An imperative is for us, her 
To venerate!

beauty for ashes
 in a deep forest of granduer
 nestled in a hollow grove
 voices coming from the Elms
 with painted pictures of light & love
 walk with me through the forest
 visit the habitation of hunters and gatherers
 beneath the ground twigs wretched sticks

wireless charging
aching muscles
drained cells
i am exhausted
from
the intoxication
of love
dehydrated from
the emancipation 
of spirits
going east to
the ruined temples...

there's change when awoken
in hours dark
where birds are yet to sing

horns sit in the harbours
silent in abandon

I search within the light
across the mighty mighty seas
of antiquity

I don't need eyes
to see
as I feel
your beauty
cutting thru the fog

its fragments, its filters
emoting in the echos
an open mind

it's playing
