Phosphenes

A sky denuded of stars 
Is just like a garden devoid of blossoms.
Even when the night sky goes aloof too,
I close my eyes
And enter into a profound colloquy 
With the phosphenes of my eyes.
These flickering phosphenes spring up at once 
Presenting a phantasmagoria of various hues of blues.
How well have these phosphenes deciphered
That I possess a weakness for tranquility!
They pirouette incessantly 
Displaying a multitude of shapes and forms,
As if essaying their utmost 
To impart their solicitude to me,
To attend to my unvoiced revelations,
Scouring away the feeling of loneliness.

It Might As Well Be Spring

IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING

Across the heath neath cerulean sky
All still, in brief expectant breathless pause
Impending vernal change of season nigh
Awaits fulfill of pre-condition clause

Yet bracken lace and grass a tawny match
Though warmer tint from sun that elevates
A song bird now essaying dulcet snatch
Of symphony that she anticipates

Jade canopy of chiffon will inhale 
The blessed Vapour that sustains all life *
Which soon will burst in wild expansive gale
Of growth and affluence of verdure rife

Now Nature’s resurrection time is right
Her signal shall go forth: ‘Let there be light!’

Mutually Unsupport Ly

My heart beating is alive hitherto
my lung breathing is hitherto
my eyes hitherto facing the queen
of myself thy love IS don . . .  
    — ( thank thou by blessing creator)
But, obviously in worth is degrees
of early befoul inquiry  . . . 
your wearing breasts in a practical nude                                                                                     
your truly wearing encounter-leg
 — by 75% nude
away, sneaking by of stylish whole 
Across el break surrounds one, the hole.
over reacting is you practically    
by imitation from my death 
Essaying a big selfsame, from it mouth;
sponging out thee any indication
of never having snake me-back in your mind,
then, you had ever caressed me . . .  
Darling! — in my record, 
blessing you did it — in mine shut up
blessing you did it  . . . 
In wrangles ignored your imagination.

          ~ Ciro C Toledo ~
