That rambling castle across the landscape bewitched my heart
As though divinity has signed, gorgeous is its art.
Are the cherubims relaxing, spreading out their legs and hands?
Are these archaic, ornate boulders on mountainous strands?
Cave-like, carved curvy corridors crookedly coil around
Vertical and horizontal length, width, and depth rebound
Celestially thrill-filled, airy arrays in sunlit style
Are Hephaestus and Athena spreading a sapphire smile?
Points, lines, planes, volumes, and magnitude speak tonnes of volumes.
Are these flawless frills and folds parts of angelic costumes?
Gloriously intricate, cosy carvings, and wide wings
Brim-fill with cosmically grace-filled mimetic mouldings
These sprawling, spreading, sturdy structures seem to symbolise
Incomprehensibly divine marvels that synthesise
Short, long, sharp, and blunt; straight and twisted mortal existence
That draws, from the spiritual source, its soul sustenance.

This thing called love in all its multiple forms:
a mother’s, a partner’s, a spouse’s, a child’s,
a friend's, a pet’s, a stranger’s, a sibling’s love.
And the very incomprehensibly incredible one:
God’s Love, with a capital L, no less!
Does it empower or embitter us?
Is it always such a double-edged sword,
cutting both ways? Or do we wield it thus?
(What’s that? You think love is a curse?)
Love inspires us to be kind, gentle, charitable.
It grants us the ability to transcend our
beastly nature to be the best nurturers.
Love grants eyes the power to gaze into souls,
blesses ears with the faculty to hear lies,
opens the mind to witness miracles.
(Curse it may be, but only to dead hearts.)
Love is our salvation, a precious gift of
Incalculable value that redeems the worst of us.
Love, in all its splendiferous forms, is
a cascade that offers the pure waters of life.
It might be tricky, but I dare say I
would not ever wish to live without
Love.

early bird sound catches
my ear in the morning
after my dreamy cup of coffee
serenity tweets sent with love
from a robin, phoebe or jay
serenading this address
just before the tick-tock of seven
the little birdie put its sights on the oak
overlooking the mossy yard
incomprehensibly touched
by the ephemeral landing
as if i can feel the bird’s beak
in my auricle - elated
as if i were sitting on the bough
right next to this sweetheart
did the chief bird say
“it’s showtime!”
each one assigned
mine was the sweetest
taste of dawn
with lackluster sun

I had become bubble wrapped,
cotton candy had stuck to my brain
as I drifted
from one dream to another.
I went out to study the night sky,
to reflect.
As I looked upward
a billion stars fell into my eyes
arms lifted
I yelled incomprehensibly.
My neighbors dog woke up
and it yelled also
maybe it saw my eyes
shining down on him,
or maybe he just
bit through a bubble?

A spider very elegantly weaves,
Betwixt walls or roofs or clandestine eaves;
Net-like, silky-spin-like, royal-yarn-like,
When torn, weaves from the start again, lifelike...!
Who taught this tiny creature such wonder?
Umbrella-like, lace-shrine-like, hearts plunder;
Who on earth do any humans entwine?
Though having entire energy spent in...?
Flowery forms! Curvedly curly shapes!
Blossomy glow-some; nicely nestled capes;
The creator has made things creative,
Incomprehensibly innovative...!!!

ill initiated incompatibilities, incomplete

intellectually inadequately
involuntarily involved iconic idealisms.

everything that used to be is gone
grass and rust has now taken over
the new generation cannot be to blame
they are making their own memories
i just take a breath and smile at the thought of my own
i just wish that mom was here to reminisce with me
old ugly ileus made sure that did not happen along with the colon cancer
now the tears threaten, but i refuse to let them flow
i just think about the place that i grew up in and leave the rest to my active imagination
maybe i can write a poem about it, but i am not that good with words
maybe i can plan some type of event, but i am not that good with planning
i think i will just sit in the darkness of my dusty apartment again
the streetlight will shine attention on the much needed privacy and peace
they are all that is left
everything that used to be is something incomprehensibly new
change is water, but not always

I do and don’t believe in God,
at exactly the same time
A paradox like the Trinity,
an unwritten verse that rhymes
I feel him inside me with every step,
while knowing he’s not there
I carry his joy within my heart,
though reason not to share
A metaphysical oxymoron,
incomprehensibly proclaimed
And while science tears him limb from limb
—I still call out his name

City Walk (or Lola)
A city walk.
Springtime and a scarf bundled about the Adam’s apple.
A wedge of lemon. That sucked.
A triangle of mandarin.
Or two. Now five
A city walk.
A pitty. The dog wouldn’t calm.
Orange peel tossed beside a
banana peel.
Two men talk,
as women might.
As they think women
might mightlessly not fight.
A tennis ball.
Another's.
Just beyond (incomprehensibly) beyond
the nose, beyond the diamond wall.
Two skipping stones.
Found.
On this lakeless valley
city walk.

Universe
Huge, expansive
Incomprehensible
Limitless
Am I not the same?
Small I am
Insignificant
But
Is there not a universe in me?
Where is the limit of my mind?
What is the boundary of imagination?
I am an internal universe
Galaxies of thoughts spiral in me
Solar systems of ideas
Revolving around
Individual passions
Nebulae of epiphanies
Manic supernovae
Collapse
Into Black holes
Of despair
Formerly bright burning stars
Implode upon themselves
Until nothing could escape
Not even myself
I look upon the night sky and I marvel at myself
For being so very small
So incomprehensibly small
And yet
So expansive

If we could only comprehend
The miracle of this hour;
Awareness of existence
Is beyond poetic power.
As something we tend to overlook
In our daily routine woes;
Lost in pain and suffering
Forgetting what we know.
Deep within and out again,
Intangibly unbound;
The fact that we’re even here at all
Is incomprehensibly profound.
No less than flower stems
Than stars that swirl and dance;
No less than a baby’s smile
Or true love and romance.
And sorrow, pain and tears like rain
That never stop their fall;
Therein too lie miracles
Perhaps there, most of all.
From out of ashes, rises Phoenix,
Out of fire comes the gold;
Life is more than meets the eye
Or what we can behold.
But I for one and you for two
May meet where souls collide;
And when we both can see eternity
This moment will have died.
