I wanna feel that blinding love, The one you'd live for
The one which feels like sunshine and rain on your face.
The one that feels like the first leaves of the fall.
I wanna witness the summer of love with, sweet voice notes, long hugs and late night shenanigans.
Ballroom dancing in the middle of a crowded street
Moments of laughing but most importantly, just loving.
A Love, that is straight out of a Cartland novel,
where the hero has it all
And then there's a picky princess who goes down for her only strength.
You know the kind of love poets write about, artists paint, musicians compose and singers sing
The one you see in the eyes and smiles,
in rainbows and the midnight skies
In a theatre or in an instagram reel
I wanna feel it all.
The epic, passionate love that lovers die for.

When neutron stars collide they
unleash immense energy plasma
jets, creating conditions extreme
enough to produce heavy elements
like gold, A single collision can
generate gold equivalent to several
Earth masses, outshining entire
galaxies in the process;
An armageddon of brilliance
may well one day fill the heavens
the blinding age of enlightenment
in the end as neutron stars collide ~ I fear a great healing old nick
hell shalt get a golden sarcophagus ~ several thousand miles thick
said god to satan arc welding his eyes ~ with plasma rich alchemic
treetops smoldering
smoke encircling bird’s flight
blinding sight with glee
you’re bright
so dazzlingly, overwhelmingly bright;
you’re the sun that sears the sky and
all the earth can only stare
i want to hold you
to cup you in my hands
to feel your warmth between my
palms and see your light run through my fingers
for the rest of my life, i want to have you with me
to warm away the winter chill and light up the night
but it hurts-
it hurts too much to bear
the you who burns brighter than the sun— who burns
my eyes with your shine— the you who hurts
too much to hold
i can’t ever have you in my life
i want to avert my eyes
to forget your light
but you’re just so bright
you’re too brilliant-
i can’t ever look away
The man in the moon met the children of the sun
The stars grouped together and twinkled as one
The planets applauded as a comet flashed by
An astral reunion that lit up the sky
A nebula formed with hydrogen gases
Dancing neutrinos entertained the masses
The asteroids clashed when Venus came to call
A black hole appeared and enveloped them all
found atop her head
the disappearing glasses~
a mystery solved
Her brown eyes sparkle,
never seeing me stand near.
Could I ever approach her?
Each day I wonder
if he might see me this time.
Would he ever approach me?
BLINDING REVELATION
The sun was blinding,
Yet, enlightening came my way;
Better is coming:-
Blinding silver streak
Explodes
Rocks crash
Roof rattles
Cracked sky
Spills fury
Pent up rage
Inflicted
Doors
Windows
Blown open
Wild wind
Laces through
Snuggled up
Tight and warm
Bear hugging
Howling storm
Wrestling
Chest crushing
Rib crunching
Dominion
Pinned down
Struggling beneath
Seeking for some
Lasting release
I won't let this
Tempest leave
Make it rain
Forty days
And forty nights
Yet
Somehow
Some way
I fall in
Dream
It slinks away
And all I
Wake up to
Is this
Fresh morning
Kiss
Look into my burning eyes
See the flame spreading over
Raging inside my head
Such fierce emotions
Are knocking me out as
Demons roar from my mouth
No end and no beginning
Anger flashing cutting across
All heads rolling, holding mine
Blinding rage burning
My soul to the ground
No silence only sound
My heart a mere spectator
To this chaotic show
Falling apart shaking below
I close my eyes and freeze
Hoping my heart burns down
For a blink of peace!

Tuning letters like strings
the words are reformed
The rhyme and the meter
the rhythm reborn
Each vowel and each consonant
together in line
No commas or periods
to block or confine
The meaning inherent
and left unexplained
restated once over
a blinding refrain
To put in the file
the future in bold
the verses in couplets
—the reading on hold
(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)
The Blinding Eye Of Desire
We begin at a breakneck speed and a
hectic pace
Toward the finish line yearning to win
each pivotal race
Ambitions could prevail over adversity
beneath skies or beyond
Yet urging fate to hand the prize is like
mining gold from a grain of sand

My love is not a blinding blizzard, after all,
Descending quickly, sweeping you off your feet,
As though we were forever predestined to meet,
Then hurriedly moving on to another’s faint call.
My love comes slowly, more like a snail’s crawl
Slowly building momentum each time we embrace
Every time I touch your hand or see your face,
For I am one who follows old-fashioned protocol.
Do not think I’ll be the common suitor you’ve had
Who came on strong and quickly turned your head
But then behaved like a suave, but merciless, cad
Thinking only of enticing you into his lustful bed
I am listening while you tell of past amours, so sad,
But, I have found you, my love, and my heart is glad.

The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Attacked the sky
Making it packed, broken, hurt, scarred
Blocking those lovely clouds and rainbow
The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Captured modernized hearts
Making them a slave inside
From nine to five
The tall pillarized building
Cold, concrete, dictating
Formed a towering hazard
To the inquisitive patrolling eyes
Of the nature - lovers
Making them temporary blind
My eyes are painfully blinking, teared up while I’m thinking;
Of those pains and agonies, embracing me;
My freedoms in barred I am broken can’t see in front of me for the tears;
