By leaf, love-shaped heart unfurled
With no moral sense attached
Shrinks, warps, and dulls fast
Unblown as unfelt, but sensed
Airily, as a ceaseless
And ever cold blast.
Prime is Nitrogen
to pacify Oxygen
not to burn, but to inhale.
Symbolising
enthusiasm, freedom,
love, intellect, compassion.
light climbs the aether—
mist condenses near the earth
and the wind drifts in between
fall brings its colors—
golden leaves release their hold
with a meek nudge from the breeze
The air use to be sour
And taste bitter
No way I was the same
It was time to get better
Water use to be muddy
And still be clear
Late August showed me
There is a worse fear
Fear use to be cold
turned my heart black
There is beauty in the dark
It can put life on track
Dirt use to be poor
Still a home is built
Wish you told me
So I didn't have guilt
Two souls use to be lost
Still searching for their light
Soul to soul they dance
Holding each other tight
Tendrils twist and dance, guiltless, unblamed,
getaway vehicle, of the flame-
uncharged of previous transpyre, that's your game.
Like a serpent you shed your skin of the shame
of the red-handed fire.
You greasy sleaze, you leave yourself lingering,
advertising yourself on the byways,
but coy- like a transmitted disease.
Perhaps Prometheus will give you a place to lay low
till things cool down.
Maybe Haefestus knows what to do with your sort.
I think you should go to Hades,
for swaying every which way the wind blows,
you two faced liar.
But wouldn't it also be fitting if you went back to Aphrodite's Temple and returned to those
choking on the burnt offerings-
of their lust-
choking out true desire.

Aether is the fabric of our universe -
Tiny granules that transfer energy
In the form of waves ~~~
This goes on unseen constantly!
It propagates light and other waves,
Longitudinal and transverse
( Or electromagnetic )
Right across the universe!
Aether stretches far beyond
The laws of physiology!
Did you know that Aether
Is also a god in Greek Mythology?
In chemistry, it is flammable.
It is used as an anaesthetic.
It's a solvent used in industrial processes -
Google it ~ this knowledge is authentic!
But at the same time,
It's a word that is seldom heard.
Most people have better luck
Deciphering the songs of a bird!
But today, ' Aether ' was on my list,
To master and triumph,
As if it was a fifth wish!
Oh, the gravity of this situation,
Like cosmic forces similar to Shakti,
I feel that I have learned so much!
Should I be yelling out, ' Yahtzee! ' ?
The king of the classical elements,
Earth, Air, Water and Fire ~~~
Aether bends and amends our universe,
To be the most desired!

I lay on the sea
and he walked on the water
it is in us all.
spoor tracks
imprint
the virgin snow-
footsteps of yesteryear
echo in my mind

a confessional
age
in the culture
of
narcissism
sub-conscious
& disguised
ubiquitous
sits
the selfie-soul
overshadowed
by
obsession
in the
making
a mirror
myth
for
others
to
see
Falling from the skies and eyes
Liquid tears caress, baptize
Warm souls with serenity
Soothing the identity
Like clear, rippling streams embrace
Poetry and prose with grace
Falling from the skies and eyes

Wind whistles through night
Voices of the birds travel
Tree branches dance to rhythm
Writing skills inspired
Fresh ideas flow through the pen
Putting smiles on few faces .

Air, water, earth, fire:
basic elements of Earth-
staunch blessings for all of life.
Water, earth, fire- null
without fundamental air
gasped to sustain life past birth.
