The Depth and Breadth of Quiet

I told no one I'd seen the night—
how tension breached a sunset start,
how sea had swallowed all the light.
I told no one

the world is glass—a whale is art,
this frame of sky its ancient right,
it plays each game the same—by heart. 

Still moment's pulse too wide to try
resuscitation, CPR—
now all that's left to gain, insight

Running From

Creep of extremism leaches in bloodstream, numbing
Route of innate thought unpenetrated, retains nothing
Sacred to the self, - stiff agendas pose as omniscient
Obscures own findings, carves our fragile opalescent 


Ignores the phosphor we all hold, outlooks pertinent 
Absorbs with proffer of doctrines contract penchant 
Squashed compulsion, thwarted inside tight quarter
Squeezes dry the yearn for a gyrated

The Breadth and Depth of Me Gf1

You form the breadth
And depth of me, my love,
As the sable night
In twilight's finest silk.

Lavender lilacs poise
In simplicity
And Fresh's joys;
Nature generously renders.
Its redolence wanders
On a small simple table
Set for two;
Quiet and peaceable.

Struggling dreams reach, 
Eager climax cries.
Apace,
A waft murmur hum,
Lilacs scent lingers
Delicious romantic sighs;
Come smothering ardent rhythm
Through the warm hidden
Night it surrenders.

My love,
You form the

A Promise Etched Across the Breadth of My Heart

If my love were to be frozen in time
would its enamored glow forever remain
as poetry in a book, Sonnets written in rhyme?
If in flakes of snow, my heart was encased
would my affection wax and never wane?

It's said a heart without passion is frigid
and incapable of feeling torrid emotion,
but if winter frost glazed o'er me, a

Breadth of My Soul

i see you
curiously
watching me
as i walk
towards you
your mind
adrift
like leaves
of november

aglow
a flicker
of moonbeams
dance
in the pools
of your eyes
as they gaze
hopelessly
into the depths
of mine


endless shivers
run down
my spine
beneath
the stroke
of your fingers
as they brush
against me
gently sweeping
my hair from my face
before a kiss

a language
unspoken 
through
hushed words
as your lips
tenderly nestle
against mine
lingering
in the breadth
of my soul

your whispers
consume
my once
vacant thoughts
with the echoes
of giggles
as you

The Breadth of True Love

The breadth
Of true love
Stretches
Far and wide
Longer...

Than oceans
Rivers
Continents
Deserts

It can't be
Measured
It stretches...

Beyond
Any road

Galaxies

Vast Akash

Limitless in length and breadth
Beyond measure in depth 
Akash is the greatest field
Sheltering innumerable things docile and wild 
Undisturbed, calm and peaceful
Truly resourceful
It never feels with anybody to compete 
Permitting everything to pass through it.   

Mountains, clouds, lightning and rains 
Anything else like falling chieftains 
Are temporary phenomena
Episodes in a drama  
Vanishing

Stars Never Knew the Breadth of My Heartache

I was drawn to her in temporal depth of night,
glancing her way in beams of harvested light
But in mourning her, I wept behind shrouds,
concealed by a hovering bank of sullen clouds

She'd danced for me in a green ruffled gown
Her supple skin changed to russet then brown
How she teased me from the height of her haven
So

and traversed the paths of the world

and sought out those things

the desires                         of his soul

The Breadth of My Love

if my love for you was any greater
the trees would  line up in poetic forms
...awe you in sonnets written...
...part...to allow winds to cool your face...
 to trace it with nature’s hand.

all the oxygen that covers all the waters rise,
supercharge the breadth of my emotion.

mountains would melt, shed their peaks like tears of joy.

Living a Life's Breadth Apart

Living with the love of your life, 
But not loving the life you’re living
Is like living a life’s breadth from love

The Breadth of Time

George walked past the throngs
Straight to the pier.
It had been a long day
And he needed
To digest it all, to recount
time.
To remember love again.
To catch it
In the air.
His large hands on the wooden rail,
Julie came to mind.
