The old summer has hidden its face in light and sand,
Dreams rise like shining clouds above,
Covering ethereal castles, a part of our beach;
No wind to chase them, only a delicate hand.
The salt and the sea speak softly of eternal love;
The changing waves reach golden laughter...
In this mystical silence, thoughts intertwine like waves,
Indulging in ecstasy, in memories of summer and incandescent sand,
Time dilates, losing itself in infinity,
And all that remains is an echo of laughter and love hidden in the breeze.
With closed eyes, I begin a ritual of remembrance,
Where our dreams united with the sky,
Each moment became an eternal ecstasy,
In a dance of souls caught in summer's enchantment.
Thus, in the flow of consciousness, I always return
To those moments of tranquility and mystical light,
Where the sun's rays played in your hair,
And everything seemed possible, in the ecstatic magic of summer.
In the burning light of memory,
The clouds pass, and the sun hides with playful laughter,
The blue extends its hand to the soul,
Dreams fly on the winged horse of time.

My uncle’s name is Keats.
He eats all kinds of sweets.
This habit, his caring wife hates
Saying that his sugar levels it dilates.
One day one of his friends visits his house,
Hands over a box of sweets to his spouse.
To have one from it he tries,
This, his wife strongly denies.
Secretly he looks for them like a mouse.
He opens the lid of every container.
Oh, he is such a perfect entertainer.
She tries to hide sweets from his sight.
And thinks what she does is quite right.

The time-space continuum,
containing God particles of wonder,
defined the nucleus of nascent creation
in the eternal niche of nothingness.
The collapsed stars of the cosmos,
the high gravity mass of celestial entity,
light can’t escape my event horizon,
encapsulates whatever I suck in.
My black force dilates time,
makes it run slow, even stops its flow,
annihilates all cosmic information
within my singularity mystic core unique.
Things created with God particles,
at the end of life time prime,
the unassailable essence
gravitates soul to disappear in my hole.

First blush fountain azimuth of hued rays
wet patio shrub basket in the haze
zealous heartland tower cry as life force
celebrate and savour August rare days
Magenta skylines cluster silken clouds
blue ocean colour eyes that worship shrouds
a fancy surreal canvass so divine
it mesmerises jubilant bright crowds
Summer fun arcades stoke our dream world mind
gasps of red tint bliss a peak season find
earthbound poise dilates refulgent cascade
rocking beach tune fare blurs dark strain purblind
Sapphire plinths that anchor stoic ambit
vision on parade my high rise gambit
traipse amid the dahlia euphoric
seventh heaven rapture’s cloud nine orbit

awareness poised in silence staid
bereft of attributes, pulsates
benign bliss friction readymade
in-form conduits, gently dilates
our tryst with bliss fixates focus
as we flow without resistance
navigating God’s love locus
we are one with all existence
from the void’s centreless fulcrum
both immanent and transcendent
nonchalant to earth life’s humdrum
we are love and light resplendent

In spring colors
in summer heat
autumn fallen flowers
and in the warmth of winter
life dilates aura -
love enriches life.

It ticks, it merges,
It runs, and converges, and spills,
It twists, it turns,
It dilates, it gyrates,
It shrinks, and convulses, and kills.
And one day,
No matter what we do,
It stops…
For some with a whimper,
For some with a shout…
And in spite of what poets and pundits say,
On that inevitable day,
There's no glory when the ticking stops
And time runs out.
Author's note: Albert Einstein is reputed to have said: The reason for time is so everything doesn't happen all at once. He may have been right…relatively speaking.

And we stand here as time fades
Everything dilates
And we finally see each other
This is hell
I am raw and open
Vulnerable and exposed
I am imperfect and you are perfection
All my pretenses stripped away
And i finally admit
I could never be good enough for you

A labor of love
Frequent contractions
Bloody show appears
Belly and back pain
Her water breaks now
The baby drops
Loosened-up joints
Cervix dilates
Cramps are intense
Nauseous mom
Start the drugs
Feeling great
Bear down
Push out

**Side note: John Gondolf read my first Diminished Hexaverse poem about the end of life (Finis Vitae) and suggested that I write one about the beginning of life. Thank you for the wonderful tip John. I'm always up for an intriguing challenge.

Trudging through the torrent of crowd,
the entities inherently disconnected,
a wasted lonely walk not taken before.
When time dilates encompassing the present,
reaches the edge of fading perception,
frail past crumbles as waves on distant shore.
As moonless sky falls with the ebon night
shards of broken heart disperse in stillness
on the wasteland of stark desolation.
Future horizon doesn’t see the sun rise,
dislodged dreams drown in perpetual dark,
still life finds the anchor in island of isolation.
When forlorn distance stretches far,
reaches the fringe of the empty vision,
creeping seclusion permeates porous life.
The endless walk to nowhere of no purpose
takes the soul to the depth of despair
through the tormenting times of strife.
When distraught insight loses the track,
wanders disoriented in the wilderness,
imposed insulation it’ll indubitably get.
Dismayed mind disintegrates to spread
on the waning time’s darkened shadow,
melting in the gloom of bleeding sunset.

fingertips trace lips and thighs

crescent lid of light
In frozen glass marbled eyes

Yoke, spills, dilates sun
Noble thick mourning tears

Imagine five swords into your throat
Fighting to make space enough for them
That how much painful breathing is to me without you
Dark suffocation into my head
Engulfed every memory but yours
This happened when I try not to think of you
Severe pain in my chest
Like an unbeatable boxer hits me with an iron punch
This much dead i am when I see myself standing alone without you
And in this chaos between
Mind and heart
Truth and false
Love and pain
Anger and rain
I realized
My pupils dilates
My brain gets relaxed
Swords stand still
And I feel lesser pain
When I try not to forget you.

LIFE’S TRUTH IS GLORY
Truth indeed lies in the glades of doom glory
Hunted steadily across the shadows by victims of self in-positions
Heard by none voices aloud awakening the memory of the night
Giving off the solemn contents that had processed its path
Sparked by the reach at hand, eyes simmer for the conquest
Patience seems futile. Purport to give it a shot
Heart throbs dare quicken, mood dilates tact unconscious
Smile lost in attitude envisaged never before
Paths of unending distress till the ultimate goal
Quitting is not an option to please self-thoughts
It’s rather inspires you to tread paths no more
Exhaustion rather aggresses destiny is silently imbibed in the heart
Tears knows no sweat from sight
Even though it’s dark, vision is clear because of the quest at hand
Body’s soaked and hands weakening, yet brain unconscious of pain
Knowing the future has more pain if the truth not found
Determination drives the will
When the light shines a near, dignity prides it’s mast
Redemption by the truth in shades of glory
Smile accomplishes the effort, faith is restored
Life runs on truth and determination

Light ribbons in one eye we fear
Precede headache pain that's severe
Drug firms clearly bribe
Physicians to prescribe
Migraine meds but I'll imbibe beer
Authors Note: If you are in a safe place (not driving or operating machinery), this home remedy could be better than what the doctor ordered. I keep a few medicinal bottles ready in the fridge for just such an emergency. Lime is optional.
The clinical trial: An authentic "migraine" headache is accompanied by blood vessel constriction. There can be 15 to 30 minutes of shimmering lights in one eye followed by a headache from hell. Having learned that alcohol dilates blood vessels, one day I tried chugging a beer just after the shimmering started. The lights subsided and there was no headache. Beer just may be the second best medicine ever created.

Beyond the time I bethought thy ambiguity
With you I aspire the longanimity
Beyond the prophecy there crests thy conceivability
With you I cognize the viability.
Beyond thy persuasion I bechanced your propinquity
With you I behold the emotionality
Beyond the state of elated bliss there prehends thy fidelity
With you I summon the reality.
Beyond the beauty I got hold of your integrity
With you I propel morality
Beyond the smile there hazes over thy timidity
With you the shyness broke to chastity.
Beyond the journey I conformed to serenity
With you I got word that there exist eternality
Beyond the nature there fragrances a virtuality
With you I revered ideality.
Beyond a relation there dilates a compilation of esoteric affinity
With you I got hold thy spirituality
Beyond the secrecy there exists enshrouded duality
With You, me makes us evermore infallibility.
