Power Of Virgin Snow
Teardrops gently flow in a scene painted on
canvas in my dream
Mourning the fate of once iridescent leaves
buried beneath a stream
Intent on banishing loneliness while hoping
good old Earth could bestow
In this wilderness revitalizing a forlorn spirit
the mystical power of virgin snow

Her house was taken by the unkind wind and fires.
Her dog disappeared, yetlping into howling flames.
For these burning winds to end, was her deepestdesire.
Now homeless, realizing life is not just an insignificant game!
Each passionate kiss might disappear into a world deepest of sorrows.
She kept her hopes alive, in a fourteen carat, blessed, lit frame,
It was up to her, to realize there is always a blessed, grand tomorrow!

Earthly Reality
The day silently journey toward anonymity with eyes wide awake
while a plethora of resolute flora thrives in a remote wilderness
Sacred sanctuary surreptitiously shelters slithering startled snake
as teardrops shaped raindrops inundate crops with earnestness
Moonlight ascend unfettered diffusing a dazzling gloss at its wake
illuminates silhouettes of grieving spirits drowning in emptiness
Noble acts of love could nurture even the tiniest forlorn snowflake
capable in igniting that dimming sparkle of human virtuousness

Aboard Vision of the Seas,
cruising towards Bermuda
By branches of the Tanabata,
to the waters of the Trevi,
on the wall of the Virgin,
or in stars of the sky,
I will wish for thee,
in purest form,
that I find,
you here,
Love.
Quest For Eternal Love
no oasis in sight just blazing sand dunes
a promised land foretold seems forsaken
resolve eroding within need to be enliven
my mind yearns to ease emotive wounds
eyes intensely drifted beyond deep space
where in silence this angelic face appears
our hearts touch shedding unbridled tears
in search of an everlasting warm embrace

Shaded Sparkle
To forgive and forget a lingering horrid past
A monumental act someone should consider
And when the unrelenting sun shines at last
Faded moments might unveil a hidden luster

Chants emancipate mind unlocking subconscious fantasies
Stimulated perceptions propel imagination beyond galaxies
Amid silenced darkness perpetuities of endless possibilities

Insatiable Human Obsession
It is time for that insatiable human obsession for destruction to expire
And vanish amidst the darkened realm of an imploding distant star

From A Distant Shore
In life, there are no absolute promises. All one can hope for in the future
is to visualize a place emanating warmth and peace...
beckon from a timeless distant shore

"The unwavering human desire for perpetuity"
--by poet--
Hunger For Life
Desperation reason with destiny to depose inevitability and find utopian coast
Longevity is not an impervious spiritual armor weakened by an invasive ghost
Inculcated within thoughts are prognostications of inexorable advancing years
Endeavors defying the rules of gravity regrettably culminate in shedding tears
Polar winds menace leaves steadfastly clinging on as tainted skies appear dim
Beyond freezing horizons anonymous newly departed faces wander in tandem
Grey whales returned and blizzards withdrew except old towns are in disarray
Hunger for life contesting dreadfulness anticipate the dissolution of a blue day

WORDS OF WISDOM
CAPTIVATING BELL ON A STEEP SLOPE WITHIN AN ISOLATED WORLD GAVE
SOLACE TO THE HERD
AMONG ANGELIC VOICES MESMERIZING CHANTS ALLEVIATE THE FEARS OF
A LOST NOMADIC SHEPERD
SILENCE UPON TRANSCENDENTAL DESCANTS AND ENIGMATIC RHYMES ON
EVERY NOTE PLAYED BEGAN SINGING
THE HEART CONCEDES AS THE ENDURING SPARKS INSIDE LOVE INTONING
WORDS OF WISDOM REVERBERATE A HEALING

Spiritual Optimism
Silenced voices for millennia traverse upon repressed pivotal moments
Deplorable vow of secrecy resonates amid impregnable embattlements
Ancient nomads above burning desert sense overwhelming compassion
Thirst quenched with essential nutrients rejuvenates tenets of past eon
Primal fear of cosmic unknowns planet in isolation impose concealment
Incessantly radiating interstellar illumination awaken fireflies iridescent
Enigmatic passageway to astounding revelation shrouded in symbolism
Sweep ambiguities away strengthening indefatigable spiritual optimism
AWAITING SNOWFLAKES
ALONE TAMPING BEATEN TRAIL IRREPRESSIBLY HEARTBROKEN
MENACING SKY TORMENT A PERIPATETIC DISENCHANTED SOUL
TEARY EYED SHE PONDERS FORSAKEN WISH LONG FORGOTTEN
COURAGE TRANSCEND DEFEAT AWATING SNOWFLAKES TO FALL

Perhaps was the weather
The sun and breeze on skin,
Perchance it was the timing or
Where I just had been.
Maybe was my loved ones;
Good people with their greatness.
Could had been the vast outdoors;
Sensational and spacious.
Was it just the animals,
Aves harmony with choir?
To make me feel all ideal
From slumped to so much higher…
Though hopefulness engulfed me
Through life at a glance,
Appreciation realisation for
Freedom from chance.
