I is Playing Today

Inconversant Ivan is inconsolable and inconspicuously indistinctly
Illinois and Iowa ignorant. Instinctively and incredulously inducing
Illustrative ideas that implement indefinable individual
Indifference, ignoring Aunt Inez’s illustrious ideals.

Definable and Indefinable

Words

Seem to be used

As definable and

Indefinable..

The definables tell

The stories which

Dreams are made of..

The indefinable may

Appear as a 

Simple story

In which

The indefinable 

Applies to all 

Words...

Tangled Echoes: A Dance of Contradictions

I am tired with the burden
But don't feel the power to leaving it
It ruins my soul
Yet I maintain the poison within me
I am a hypocrite or a scoundrel?
Or a prisoner of my own vices
Perhaps both, or something indefinable.

I grapple with this internal strife,
A weary soul caught in the fire of self loath,
Amidst the ruins of self, I persist,
A complex being, defined by contradictions.

I am jealous
Jealous of everyone's success
But also Ecstatic for their achievements!

You and I

(Nagpa in Tibet, 2017)

You and I

We’re not human 
you and I
said dreamer
to his dream.
We’re of Life
so indefinable
exactly as we seem.

(first published in my 3rd book of poems, Sun Made Flesh and Fiber, 2019)

Under the Umbrella

She's my neighbor; we study, from childhood, in the same school.
When we were younger, we regarded ourselves as best friends.
As she grows, she starts to be stern, though within she is cool.
To her friends' bids, she's stiff, while to her parents, she bends!

I like her friendship, though she feels too shy to contain me.
Rain is a mere cause; I wait for a chance to walk with her.
The stitch in the steel poke of the umbrella has gone free.
Is this why, as a girl growing up, there's a mental stir...?

She has given me very little space; it's enough, yet.
Though we don't, somehow, dare to gaze at each other's faces,
To our childhood contentment, we do not feel any threat.
Amidst lasting silence, there are indefinable graces...

Though only a monsoon glimpse, with glassy drizzling around,
May this pave paths to a new life with much merriments crowned...

Love's Fragility

Love is such a fragile sentiment
So oft confused with sex,
So in our daily double dealings
We render it is so indefinable
Like the faint flicker of a candlelight
That is blown out by our despair,
An intimate venue of self-torture.
We add to its impenetrable obscurity
Blowing the flame right out,
Thus our outrageous shadows 
Are silently snuffed out.
Until we accidentally meet again,
And Love blossoms again.

A Surgery

Every writer's work
a soulful surgery

we draw from mysterious
substance, submerged man's core
in fluids indefinable – amniotic sea of source
buoyant, yet only mistily determinable, unknown
were it not for subtle leaking

sort of a chill, in search of its draft

a stutter, keeping its voice from 
apparent reason

how can I truly love 
my God! my Christ!
when trapped on a page
with a pen pressured down
mostly always printing in 
favor of 
self-serving 
human treason

Paranormal Psychosis

The whole room tumbles.

Turning upside down. 

So that I am on the ceiling. 

And forced to analyze the space around me once again. 

I blink again.

Then everything is right side up…

Then I blink again. 

All the furniture is shifted just enough…

So I am confused in some indefinable way. 

She walks in. 

Which causes me to blink once more. 
 
She asks if I’m ok. 

It’s just the room spinning again. 

It’s just that I’ve been in this empty room all day.

I can’t explain what’s wrong. 

She tells me to get some sleep. 

I am scared for the door to close behind her. 

As if she is locking me in a cage. 

Maybe if I can just close my eyes…

I can pretend I’m asleep until morning. 

And hope the evil furniture will leave me alone.

We Are Borrowers

We think we are free
But alas..as long as 
Separation and autonomy
Are sown into our 
Cloak of beliefs
We are borrowers
Accumulators
Of beliefs not our own..
Freedom eludes..
Freedom is felt when
It is found that these
Borrowings are also
Expressions of
Indefinable Freedom...

An Indefinable Emotion

Goosebumps sprout in the drizzle of this ethereal emotion. 
I marvel at what I feel; 
even the word ‘Ecstasy’ cannot convey its depth.
It’s like the heaven-light illuminating my soul.
Oh, I don’t think it’s an apt simile. 

My mind floats in the sublime air as a milkweed seed. 
It’s not the unreal reality created by mescaline.

It’s as pure as innocence,
seems to spring from my rock-bottom.

From this indefinable emotion,
a new poem is born without a cesarean.
Lines are not faux;
rhythm is unique.

Soon, the euphoric vibes vanish.
A sweet mood is always transient.
Unlike a rainbow,
this emotional phenomenon is a mystery.

And They Leave Us Alone

Wannabees always seem to know
who the really tough guys are
Their carriage indefinable
 though marked by every scar

The pheromones of conquest
 carried by the chosen few
Who rumble through the tallest grass
—swallowing what they chew

(Dreamsleep: July, 2022)

Divine Poetry

Divine instrument, is poetry
and only poetry with her magic vision,
who describes
the indescribable,
defines the indefinable,
exults the verisimilitude
of the simple, because
exceeds any limit
of the believable and the incredible
breaking the shackles
  of the mysteries..
Simplifying and demystifying
the obscurities by clarifying
any and all secrets
exposing emotional beauty
of poetry...!

Another Portrait of Me

I define myself
without false immodesty
as definable and
indefinable. I'm friend
of beauty, defender
of love guardian
of friendship...
I'm metaphor, I'm carbon
of organic links
I'm quantum physics
and I'm a mystery...
I'm a burning coal black
to light brotherhood fires
chains that link human to divine...
I am light of many lights
and abyss of deep recesses
but always in search of knowledge...
I am the synthesis of all that
inhabited me and inhabit
thanks to the Superior... !
By this grace I am today
POET!



   PS Immodesty as long as i AM sure OF what i AM... A SON OF GOD
        that makes me feel strong AND brave to face adversities OF the   world

Earthly Fantasy

 
A beautiful clear dazzling earthly fantasy !
The tangled trees lush and green,
creating a serene, peaceful image
with a forest path labyrinthine ...

Calliope~   Delphic earnestly flying gleeful !
My Muse fluttering with bliss,
flying in and out of the forest
whispering to me "come look at this" ...

Exquisite, fantastical-  glowing halcyon, indefinable, journey !
And I follow Muse without question,
and view beauty and beauty and turn,
as birds sing a harmonic progression ...

Kaleidoscopic ... lovely meadow _ nature oasis paradise !
I linger with this peace,
penning my thoughts in tranquility
and then, Muse I release ...
