The long journey
of the slithering stream
on the languid lap
of pensive plateau,
meandering montage
in ebony melancholy
of forlorn forest,
flows on contorted contours
of languishing leaned land
at cataracts askew.
The vibrant visage
of fantasy flight
of fluidized swan feather,
serenading in monotone,
resonates in the silence
of verdant emerald,
the tune of tranquil time
ripples with the echo
of ethereal euphoria.
The aquatic flow
of fizzy champagne surge,
dancing with the cadence
of esoteric ecstasy
in sculpted split course
around obdurate boulders,
deposed defiant
with mesmeric malachite glow,
amidst patina of plants,
drenched by the drizzle
of the setting scarlet sun
in the sequined sky,
illumines the mystique mist
of diaphanous drape,
rising slow
as suspended strata,
unlayered exaltation
lifts the shroud of sorrow
from the austere alcove
of my amorphous anguish,
makes me revere
the seraphic scene,
the effervescent extant,
timeless…
Room number four white wall squared times glass door trim looks like the symbol pi~~I count
the only purpose of all life is to procreate!
we as human beings are no different, should we fail
we will become extinct, there are no other purposes.
should anyone think different they should think again,
what brought us into this world, procreation,
my purpose, your purpose, our only purpose
is to stay extant! okay, our ultimate purpose!
every other is a means to that end!

Within the present moment everything happens…
Within the present moment plants inhale…
Within the present moment I exhale…
Within the present moment the wind blows…
Within the present moment a river’s water flows…
Within the present moment I stand on earths ground…
Within the present moment peace is found…
Within the present moment a human is being…
Within the present moment eyes do the seeing…
Within the present moment we can embrace…
Within the present moment miracles take place…
Within the present moment lovers kiss…
Within the present moment is the bliss…
Within the present moment dreams come true…
Within the present moment I understand my love for you…
The past; The future; illusions happening in an unconscious present moment…
A drunk man stumbles out of any bar
Looks at a sky marred with stars
Inside looks he, a void he spys
Tears brim fragmented eyes
He feels it--
Bestowed burden cumbersome
In the hands of man--
The brand,
To think
To be
To become
To not...
Is him
Is we
Cloak
all our
today's in
a mantle of
love-
soak
all our
tomorrow's
in showers of
hope-
float
away
yesterday's
mistakes on the
tide,
then
abide,
satisfied-
on this pleasant
ride
