like ballerina heels,
It kisses,
The fountains,
And irises,
Bows and sways on

your warm air—
thaw hail in
this iced mind?

Ballet of living lightOne day in a trance meditation state,
ego fell like a dead leaf from a tree,
even as rhythm of bliss magnetism chaste,
frolicked amidst lilac flowers carefree.
Awestruck beholding presence turn to dust,
formless awareness pulsated as light,
infusing bliss...

with Autumn’s honeyed-secrets spilt—
a hopscotch star.. an ember brisk,

In the step of morning danceyou've been absent for a long time, as a whisper
colored pencils of living cells

A TeaseMelancholy chimes,
a dark silhouette;
Doleful burlesque doll,
soft splatter of sound

naked twirl;
Pouting
is a
tease....
