I thought I’d go too far away with you
Where our dream will be true
But one bullet shatters the flower
Which spreads the scent of love in the air
I thought I’d win one day the throne of God
Where our prayers are compiled a lot
But one bullet stabs the hands of the praying
Which embraces you as a true human being
I thought I’d spend thousands of autumnal fair
Where our unity will be a divine pair
But one bullet incarnates the pair a corpse flood
Which drives away the innocent fresh blood
I thought the rose would be our commutable heart
But the inhuman bullet makes it an imperialist dart

I want to be left alone
alone and away from my thoughts
not the people around me
they don't bother me, I do
my mind bothers me
every minute incarnates a new thought
every thought leads to new problems
with new solutions waiting to be found
they will be found, but when?
time is relative but how does it relate to me
when nothing is willing to go at my pace
unless—
unless I coerce the cadence of my thoughts
I reckon this may work

A Child at Tornillo
Telling my story makes it real
Brings it into existence
What I thought I knew
What I know now
Wasn’t real
No matter how
Well intentioned
Well thought out
How much more a child
Silenced by something real
Something dark
So dark that
Reality is eclipsed
But what if hope
Like light
Can't be extinguished
What if imagination
Expression
Incarnates home, self
A knowledge that creeps through
The surface
What I want isn’t a dream
Not a vision of what isn’t
But what I’ve seen
In my mind’s eye
My heart’s memory
What I hear isn’t invention
A tune I know
Projected in another setting
In a voice too small
To be heard
To be ignored
What if the faith of a child
Is a light that darkness
Cannot comprehend
Cannot overcome

Poetry is beauty
Beloved’s luscious lips recite this
Poetry is beauty
Amorous eyes display its peace
Poetry is beauty
Thrilling hand writes by heart
Poetry is beauty
Romantic body touches insight
Poetry is beauty
Love draws it on nature
Poetry is beauty
Lust hides itself too far
Poetry is beauty
It begets knowledgeable dears
Poetry is beauty
It inherits the truth as high heir
Poetry is beauty
It incarnates the Holy Scriptures
Poetry is beauty
Thru wisdom it reveals divine fairs

"Deep Sea Sky Blue"
the contented life
rises and falls
bedded
the treasure chest
is touched briefly
inside a shell opens
constricted mind
of heart swallows
the bends,
it is found
wanting, so
releases
the fast,
changeling
embryo soul,
le enfant terrible
feeling the rips
like selkie
walls of skin
cool and warm
currents sucking
dark and light
kicking out
the within,
a transparent
circle rises
still life
perpetually
repeating
on carnate
incarnates
unstill
the unseen
surfaces
and surveys
the contented life
how it
rises and falls
bedded in shades
and shadows
of gently rising
and plunging
azure
outside
from within
deep sea
sky blue

Nocturnal soulstice
Drown me slowly in
Fields of fractal curiousities,
Adrift in non reality caves
littered with magic pearl wisdoms
with envelop stars. Pulsar opals
lit by flame, hugging in square
circles 'round blue charged
cozy monastery marinas.
Ascetics assuming lotus blossom bliss
Incarnates huddled in full measure light,
gently colliding space in time.
Would you believe that which I believe?
Will I become who I believe?
Can I believe that which I believe?
If no reality, no belief.
If no belief, nothing is real.
If nothing is real, nothing exists.
If nothing exists, we are emptiness.
If we are empty, what are we?
Incorporeal representations of the classic tenent--
To be or not to be.

INNOVATIVE COMMENTARY
where purpose
alludes
self-glowing iterations
are accentuated
yet
restrained
by complicity
an uneasy assessment
on reflection
of facial
gymnastics
where expression
incarnates
in enviable
propensity
&mundane fantasy
is collapsed
by
tradition
appropriated
& subverted
in the
collective psyche
tangible
evidence
mutating
emotive
squashed
&
substituted
then
released
THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived

Time spent
In preparation for
The welcoming of the visitor
Greatest gratification of guest...
In the august process of preparation
Welcoming is unremembered
Contentment forgotten...
Christmas or Easter
Jesus incarnates
Vitalizes existence
Gets crucified
Resurrected...
We are busy
Preparing...

Warring wounded Warriors winded,
as they stand by the blood-stained shore;
Battalions breathily bruised and bended,
as they begin to march on for more…
Evil encounters evolve and enslave,
for their conquering captains do command;
As demons devour and deprave,
decompositional defaults within their demand.
Lachrymal lonely landscapes lament,
as deceptions and illusions take control;
Edacious entombment evokes,
evil incarnates infiltrating the immortal soul…
Weapons of war wager wild,
armored ambient angels lift their golden swords;
Egocentric evil must be exiled,
as we recover and resurrect for history records.

I eat to live
I drink to live
I'm in merry making for mind healthy
here
the flowing river
the floating unseen winds
the tranquil chirping of magpies
the blooming mango flowers
the spring fresh leaves
the elopement of bee with butterfly
the flapping wings of grasshoppers
the lazy sitting of crows on the perch
the back to home smiling appealing damsel
everything, everything of nature
gives me healing power inside heart,
increases my healthy tenderness to the maiden earth
magnolia in maidenhead greets me
to the grove of dignity, nobility and purity
of womanly beauty and gentleness
I've touched the heart of thirty three springs
but every winter gave me taste of death
and the daffodil revives me,
incarnates in the idiosyncratic love;
daisy and dandelion carry me to your loyal love
with faithfulness where death comes
but as the eternal rebirth

Love’s Luculent Light
Beyond the portals of time exist immaculate immortals incarnates of light,
helped by the Angels to seed sempiternal love into our earthly existence.
In Perpetuum within the gardens of bliss where love is benevolently breathed,
upon its creation a vortex of golden light emanating from the veils of eternity.
~~~
Beyond all that is, love travels through light and finally rests upon my face,
as the pores absorb its ecstatic ever essence, my body resonates in ecstasy.
Beyond the realms of reality, my love spreads throughout the infinite voids,
until it gently falls and rests on your flavorous face... thus a new love is born.

Eight lines of fate, when you wonder if it is too late

I don’t know if birthday is remembered
In heaven where happiness is sublime
Maybe a glance of memories on your April
Back to the road of life, no longer holds time
If ever you’d be here just for a while
I’ll bring back your memories in your hometown
For old times’ sake to sing and reconcile
To hug relatives and old friends that come around
Crumbled dream of luxurious time on earth
I dreamed of a day, you be allowed to visit
Meet your grandchildren to elevate your mirth
And have that smile fixed with your apparent spirit
I’ll take your hands to meet your loving wife
Waiting for a dance to the tune of your love song
Her touch, expecting your soul incarnates into life
Your sojourn on earth is personal for me and God alone
There were moments in my most solitude times
I am grasping to the memories you left behind
When rain comes on a synchronized rhyme
I am dreaming that you run shelter in my mind
Today we’ll celebrate your 90th birthday
We will wait for your visit in any kind
Or whisper your words in the wind and say
I am having a special day here in heaven’s confine

Above and below, the masochist show
Their tangled dread and frantic glow
Of faces abhorred by the overhead.
They stitch their lips and begin again.
In catacomb dream, they march and throw
Up their hands for torture to blow
Through their incarnates, their pigments that grow
When shrines of men are slaughtered instead,
Above and below.
The carrier shows as her massacre slows
What little is left, the Masters do flow-
Mourn thy Driver, enslave the wind
For when ancestors tumble back again.
Dior the evil, we may know,
Above and below.
