Causal Poems

Number 29 Gohon ghono chailo - Tagoreweb

Deep dark clouds, blackened each other, and a darkened sky, unfolds
motifs taming tenth around an unbridled mayhem , a hardened solitary oasis
Unruly a mayhem, entropy to the fullest ecstacy - obscure a causal willy horizon, enjambment
An absorbed night and a maiden skyline trembling fearful and uneasy 
Again and again, a sudden surge of lightened whims, whistleblower preposition 
Lightning followed by lightning struck in series, cacophony of the call lit up the dark oblivion
Trembling and shaking, the tempest and the gala, in the twinkle of an eye, on and on
Darkest deep overshadowed the heap , black and the glory
The clouds and the thunderbolt , a sleepy sky , speechless and without a clue
Awakened all of a sudden ,a bit salt of the poseidon, turner of the muse and the seven seas.

Futile Foray

The uphill climb, 
rigorously relentless
with ambling ambitions 
and schematic stratagem,
blueprinted blatantly
on the blank 
parchment of mind,
sketched skillfully
with chameleon color shift,
transiently transfixed.
The gripping gravity 
of transcendental time
of the loaded past
pulls back incessantly
the present instants,
fastens in retrospect
the incoherent network
of faltering footsteps
at the refurbished root
of existential essence.

The intent inertia  
of living force 
creates proactive
causal momentum 
of tumultuous time,
permeates the perception
of the fourth dimension.
The construed continuum 
of elusive eternity,
strives to unveil ineffectually
the shrouded acuity
at the summit of actuation,
emotionally evasive. 
The climb connotes
a futile foray
to nowhere.

Who Are We At Our Core?

Universe in its miniature form! A little world! 
A wise zoologic entity in its entirety!
Consciously conscientious and spiritually swirled
Physico psychic myriad matchless variety

Possessing physical, subtle, and causal flesh and bones
A soul attaining to be perfect and perpetual
With purposefully special spiritual hormones 
With will and power that are wisely intellectual

Like the galaxies, in us, the eternal energy shines 
Like the Milky Way agility, and endurance glow
Though as puppets in a puppeteer's hands, we have confines.
Shades of secrets unknown follow us wherever we go 

We drink from our self-dug wells and get tentatively quenched.
We suffer, yet, unquenchable thirst, though in rain we're drenched.

The Dreaming Mind

("Dreaming Gaia", 2017, original encaustic)

The Dreaming Mind

Every night we all dream
Projecting the habits of a reifying mind
Onto the fabric of an energized neural net
Creating a world within a world
Just as amazing, just as solidly real.

And every day we perceive, sense objects and mental formulations
Projecting the habit of a reifying mind
Onto the fabric of an energized phenomenal world
Each creation the same
Habitual activity of a creative projecting mind.

Almost everyone acknowledges the creative projective
Habitual function of the night-dreaming mind
While few notice the very same mind 
Must be doing the very same thing
At all times: asleep or awake!

It’s easy to assign causal agency
To ourselves when we’re all alone
Harder when we are but a small part
Of a much greater whole, and yet,
The common denominator remains the dreaming mind.

Waking or sleeping
The dreaming mind incessantly does its thing
Dreaming of subjects experiencing objects
Dreaming of worlds within and out
Dreaming that its dreaming makes it separate from the dream.

Soul Fingerprints

Soul Fingerprints

By Mark Stucky
From the midst of multitudes,
elusive, unique fingerprints
identify individuals
as owners of their surface smudges.

Beyond their barely discernable
two-dimensions on smooth surfaces,
memories of casual causal touches,
ethereal fingerprints possess power
to unlock phones storing private secrets
and to solve whodunit murder mysteries.

God’s mysterious, stealthy fingerprints
invisibly mark creation and our lives,
at the core, below the surface.
No ridged whorls outwardly appear,
but those uniquely hidden codes
identify their covert Owner.

Distinguishing fingerprints
requires crime labs no longer.
My fingerprint unlocks my phone.
God’s fingerprint unlocks my heart.

Endless Streaming

Waterfalls gushing downhill in a violent torrent
During a thunderstorm,
with hefty raindrops relentlessly
drenching the ground,
Storm boisterous knocking
at the door, brings with it a sense of
playfulness and mischief
that can't be ignored,
Time goes on forever,
as a cleanly flowing brook.
via a causal nexus of living things,
anti-time advocate,
supplier of posture,
persisting at all times,
highly conspicuous.

Breath of Life

Many believe that the breath of life
             it's something unusual... they don't understand that
              casual is causal!
              It's intentional, it's ordered
              by the Father of creation...
              For him there is no probability,
              neither impossibility nor chance.
              No link is lost,
              permanently no link
              broken, made undone...
              Everything  recovered... nothing
               remains
              in defect... it's further than science,
              it is cosmic consciousness.
              Everything for the creator is simple,
              everything  wonderful,
              everything  divine... like
              the breath of life... !

Crown of the Enemy

One causal cadence continues casting, 
Crawling, creeping, conniving, grasping, 
Graven, rotten, rude, deprived, 
Hatred, boiling, bursting, sly. 

This cadence is personified, the cause 
Is what leads men to die, the lack (it’s called)
Is like a lie, Augustine wrote while ‘twas 
Close. Yet, and by grace yet, a slain Man’s cry
To the Father makes men to fly, the Dove so free 
Chose each to be here personified anew. 

The wise can read, they sure can count, and well to do, 
And yet their days seem long as pouting from a babe. 
	One to death and one to save. 
He (not Him) knows what men do and like to hear and can 
Construe. Watch keenly, for his unseemly breeding takes 
A chord and deprives it of color, this is his crown, and makes
To the wise the young seem older, and have wit of a frown. 

Again, the wise know much if wise they’re true. 
Wisdom and knowledge are
Not a synonym to surmise just as eagles to food. 
The enemy travels wide and far.

Oh-----Io

The crick of crickets
Sounds of late summer swan songs
Lightening bugs---------lights out
Clear cloudy skies, cool front nights
Windows open, Fall sensations waking
Seasonal transitions nearby
Mother Nature announces her why
Causal changes on the way
Cryptic storms before the calm
Bely our human hearts alarm
Can we make the supreme amends 
Needed to become universal friends
Keping all from needless, useless, endless harm.

Barking Dogs

Birds don’t sing 
in the dark,
but the stray dogs 
bark;
For many
that is a causal remark

Temporal Paradox

“Temporal Paradox”



Make a space for my body
push the sides apart

temporal paradox

passing torch to beacon 
to Light 

ALL MY LOVE

when I’m gone
You continue from the start

temporal paradox
causal loop

Love, 
My life burns forever 

for You,

in the Heart

"...push the sides apart
this is what I'm controlling
it's a mold 
the inside that I carve"


"I seem to have loved you 
in numberless forms, 
numberless times…
In life after life, 
in age after age, 
forever.
My spellbound heart 
has made and remade 
the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, 
wear round your neck 
in your many forms,
In life after life, 
in age after age, 
forever...."

All Saints' Day

No more labeled by one's admission
Once a man's earthly life ends in
The place waiting for some negotiation
The creator there accepts All Saints

No one would be rejected in the end
No matter the stay by willing or causal 
His mercy still grant a chance for retreat
All saints will then be free back to their kin

I reckon death should name a one-way trip
Departure has to be in the east or west horizon
As sun-rise wakens eyes to look and propagate
While sun-set asks the others back to sing

The Bermuda Triangle

The blue waters of the North Atlantic,
deceptively calm, are shrouded in mystery
in the deadly Bermuda triangle,
delineated by many as a paranormal swathe,
where series of unexpected events, unexplained,
made many aircraft and ships to strangely disappear.

Despite the belief of manufactured mystery,
the Devil’s triangle attracted many elucidations…
the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis,
the magnetism of submerged Bimini Road formation,
the Gulf stream upwelling the marine gas hydrates,
but as yet no consensus has emerged.

The plausible explanation may well be the linked causal trinity,
synchronizing to define the enigmatic triangle.

Repurposing Anger

At last,
we are angry with each other
coincidentally,
simultaneously,
which may be a coincidence,
but probably not;

Depending on active faith 
in linear cause-effect relationships,
leftbrain dominant yang powers,

And/or
circular dipolar co-arising
co-passioned effective unpolarized relationship, 
causes v effects = effective causal recycles
of rightbrain both/and recessive yintegrity.

Now,
at last,
we have set our synergetic communication stage
to test this ancient hypothesis
that two negatives
are equal to a potential positive co-passion,
as polynomials
may equal not not polynomials

Where positive
also equals leftbrain healthy
and rightbrain safe

And negative anger
equals leftbrain liberally 
communication healthy
when rightbrain feels conservatively safe

Despite never considering this internal hypothesis
because of patriarchal
dualistic
win/lose capitalistic faith
in not not equivalent potential
for ego/ecosystemic win/wins

Despite respite death through life
ego/eco-recycles
repurposing timeless eternity
of unity
more flexibly equitable
than uniformity
of leftbrain thoughts 
against rightbrain feelings.

Snow Globe

shaken not stirred
causal whirlwind effect
mini storm contained
snow flurries mesmerize
a microcosm spinning
