How Love Contrived, Restored Faith

At last my doubts had to face death,
Faith took a life-feeding fresh breath.

I’d feared, wet soil my steps would trace,
What luck, ah grass grew on the path!

And lost, watching the setting sun,
None saw how sad my face turned hath,

As to my cheeks that had turned red, 
Lights went off, gave life to my faith,

And rain

Contrived Version

lead myself 
to believe 
in this mentally 
contrived version 
of a relationship 
with you where we
were happy 
than one day you shattered 
that version into a 
million tinny little pieces 
when you left me 
now looking back in hind-sight 
the day you ran away was the 
best thing that ever happened to me

Undefined By Contrived Contour

Trees of thickets display different attributes,
the commonness is the cool shade they spread, 
and their branches cradle all the birds’ nests.
Flowers frame diverse shapes and colors,
the hidden nectar is the common essence.
All are beautiful, external definition they acquire.
  
The splendor of the dawning horizon we share,
and immerse in the universal gleam of twilight.
The enveloping

Angels Loathe Contrived Perfection

No angels on Earth
For dreamers and screamers to find
Whether they lose or catch their breath
Lost in deep recesses of the mind  

Teeming with fantasies
Where fairies toe a perfect line
Drawn in sentimental seas
Where their unicorns decline

Cooking perfect meals
Observing sublime etiquette
Clinching integrity deals
Won on a truth ticket

That frowns on human frailties
Blemishes in character
Flaws, foibles and fragilities
Inherent

Systematically Contrived Dust

The universe is immeasurable,
  we are merely infinitesimal
      machinery keeping pace,
as churning cogs tick wildly 
  transmitting within allotted time, 
attempting heartbeats' cohesion
  clocking our own honed destinations,
accumulating illusions 'tween masses
   waiting to return as a speck of dust
      in

Beauty God Contrived

The ebb and flow of salty seas cools sands
Calm rinses burning heat from sunny shores.
A gleeful child builds castles with small hands.
Serenely, Mother watches and adores.
The breaking waves dance when they reach dry lands.
The creatures of the seas stalk ocean floors.
There in the distance far below, life thrives.
The beauty of the deep our God contrives.

Contrived Poetry

Poetry, as the height of fantasy,
   contrives a wondrous world of wide-eyed awe,
   of meaning and reason, rhymed or unrhymed,
         of sensible sounds of sensitive sense;

              it conjures up harmony

Contrived

Triggered emotions,
ran haywire,
in veins,
pulsing all along,
the perfume,
gently rubbed,
at vantage points,
was jigjagged,
in seesaw,
told people around,
that it was my sound,
that I had arrived,
totally and fully contrived.
