Line of inquiry - Ego shorn, here now reborn.
Unselfish Heart
The glow of the unselfish heart
Decorates emptiness with candles
While scattered relics of garden purity
Re-light votives in Babylon
In the gleam of selfless candelas
Nascent tapers breathe new oxygen
In the eternal fire of the Samaritan heart
Lanterns revive requiems for still born joy
As sunrise glimmers of the merciful spirit
Leave tealights in newborn cradles
When icy enigmatic self-adorations
Flee before incandescent revelations of humility
The glow of the unselfish heart
Decorates new naked selves with candles
Swaddled in the first shy blush
Of tingling flambeaus for new butterflies.

Shambling alone on the periphery of human warmth
Shorn of friendship
Ostracized from faith
Limited in contacts to nuclear kinship
Sausage-linked by an umbilical cord
In aeons
Saturated with discord
In the darkness away from candelas lumens of neons
Reduced to a bag of misery bones
Away from feelings
In war-weary zones
Teeming with sleazy dealings
Fed up with life
Terrorized by famine
Enveloped in knife led strife
In portions of guanine
In the DNA inherited
From dotting parents I love
Greeted and treated
With respect on Earth and from above
But, I feel so forlorn
Although I pretend to be happy
When on my own
I feel within my soul so unloved, unwanted and utterly unhappy.

But if you do fall deeper in love's hole
An abyss lovers go sentence to life,
If you go down in it that earthen coal;
Take rings with you, for your husband
or wife.
And a million candelas t' give you light,
Forget what you've learnt, love is truly
blind;
So I say to you take heed to light'n
your plight
Lest you awake in lust, and lose your
mind.
Oh, lust? What a different place to be
Where your opiate mind see things
very wrong,
How foolish in lust you'll' be before me
Sure, from my lips I'll sing you a woe
song.
Surely, I shall sing you to lethe in lust,
Truly, I shall sing and sing till you're
dust.

I harvested a small handful
of beautiful dandelions
arranged them in a special way
that their mini-globe candelas
illumined a yellow aura
surrounding the nosegay cluster.
Their subtle, invisible breaths
exhale a perfumed atmosphere
that becomes irresistible.
And she who shall hold this bouquet
is impelled to whiff its essence;
to discover its true purpose;
and accept this prosaic gift
of my undying love for her.

No refund on love,
My mother have told me,
there is one way,
to a man,s heart,
a good meal,
desert,
and glass of wine,
So, I went to the store,
to get three ingredient,
bacon,cheese,apple
and bottle of red wine,
Dinner,
candelas,
wine,
was ready,
so as I
wearing red, sexy dress,
but you,
you....
you didn't come,
Next day I went to the same store,
to get refund on love,
Then a store manager have told me ;
Mam,
no refunds on love,
