Gossamer wings display angelic quality
Empyrean dragonflies surround her
with ethereal ambiance
and with trailblazing elan
a bardess takes flight,
stirring our muses to
greater heights
Poetic princess with a golden pen
her true beauty lies deep within
she's an empress of empathy
compassionate toward all
equinox moon goddess
glowing white bright,
bleeding ink
~Collaboration with Tom Woody
At the day end when dark rules,
Sounds become a rare act.
Beauty of day is concealed,
when the night charmer wrapped.
In the hour of darkness,
for an astounding night grope.
When Visible became invisible,
The moon is the glimmer of hope.
Alone sitting by the waterway
Looking at the starry sky.
Ground stars greaming
in a conifer full of fireflies.
A breeze pass time to time
encompasses with moisture.
This span of time is alluring,
as it is a freebie by nature.
Dead of night is dead and trifling
For the people deep in slumber.
In the habbit of daily indolence
Don't miss the night wonder.
Give contenment to your heart
Unleash yourself and sit alone.
Not a soul to disturb you
There is no known or unknown.
Sol hides behind clouds
Darkness envelops the earth
Shy like a bride
Awaiting empyrean* showers

*empyrean - relating to heaven or the sky
25 syllables
you are an enigma of empyrean bliss,
captivated am I by your astounding
tenderness-
before time prevailed in the hourglass
of existence you became my blanket
of fleece in the dead freeze of winter.
warmth encompassed me like blazing
embers from a kindled flame, and that’s
what my heart still does, my love-
it burns for you.
if you needed a bridge, I’d link one to heaven’s gates-
if you needed my tears, I’d cry an ocean for you.
saturated in forsaken memories was I
before our different dimensions crossed,
and love struck me like a lightning bolt-
and it still does, my love-
it strikes when you caress me.
if you needed the night, I’d contrive an ebon sky-
if you needed the rain, I’d shower with pleasure.
for you are an enigma of empyrean bliss...

Empyrean Rapture
Radiance sublime
God’s true plan
Stars bright
Heavenly light
Angels sing paeans
In God’s name
Souls ascend
Now to arrive
On cosmic dust
Trails to infinity

The only thing that makes the emptiness so bearable is knowing that we're not alone
And somewhere in the universe is another lonely searching soul
Considering the stars seem close and yet they are so far
From where I stand on shaky ground as I wonder where you are
In light years of super clusters neon heavens are displayed
Lost inside rendition I find my heart no longer in dismay
So infinite in numbers and compliment each other with utter grace
And here I am on a spec of dust in search of love without a face
But somewhere beyond horizons twilight gifts encourage us
In those times we search for hope our souls are always looking up
Subsequently to my collection I realize they have placed the answers here
Illuminating enlightened paths to outshine our simple fears
Again I compared us to the stars above where our numbers cannot reflect
So possibly the world isn't full of strangers just some friends we haven't met
Then with will and perseverance my hearts imagination began to bloom
The universe acquiesced in silence revealing a love I never knew
~ JJF~
To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders
~Lao Tzu~
My friends without exaggeration I spy a case of desperation spilling from nation to nation. A little inspiration to flip the degradation. Without contemplation, Love, a wonder by far the greatest creation. Warriors are set for unification to battle heinous globalization desecration communization with this illumination lets rise up for rectification. Wise up rise up with this manifestation. It's beyond time to remedy the infestation. Never mind your celebrity infatuation with infucation, change the station! Make use of you, beautiful creation or settle for devastation infuriation deviation damnation damned nation nah lets go with purification. Save The Population!
What is this reeling throughout my being?
I gaze into the mirror; albeit elusive to eyes seeing…
Churning with pleasant burning, emotions swimming with eloquence…
With ease…
With ease…
I release my breathe breeze…
Centered, still, in this moment; anchored to the mother…
Understanding moments lead towards tomorrows dawning…
Fresh is that moment for a sacred rebirth spawning…
So come to be, that which chooses me…
I shall not run…
I shall not flee…
On firm ground I stand; mystical powerful me…
What is my inner vision?
What does my mind see?
Focused my awareness decisions; diligent creator of possibility…
It’s better to give than to receive…
Do you believe?
Do not be deceived; for it is better to give than to receive…
What you give out most certainly comes back about…
Increased intensity; tenfold immensity…
My heart is open giving without confusion…
With gratitude I receive wisdom not from old world illusion…
With ease…
With ease…
I release my breathe breeze…
Relinquished my identity; surrendered to infinity…
Forever is my energy…
Forever is my energy…
