As my soul clings to yours,
our bond confused and suffocated,
radiations of what we call complicated love.
As my existence feels profound in your presence,
my soul interlinked with the personality of your essence —
feeling what you feel,
your hurt, your pain, your depressions.
As my soul starts feigning
when you’re not in my reflection,
left in pain at the thought of you ever leaving.
Now our two souls are left grieving.
Let's journey back to when time stalled, Side by side, amidst life’s sprawl. In that moment, a gentle pause.
No worries of hair or shoe’s applause.
Not bound by the physical, yet so sublime, A connection deeper than the hands of time. How do we rediscover that blissful grace? To learn, to cherish, to embrace.
Yearning for that shared reverie,
To understand, to truly see.
I crave it, with fervent plea,
A bond magnified, tenfold, you and me.
Glass illusions forestry of butterflies in flight
swiveling and turning wing, aiming for sun
hovering over lulling waters of purple hues
Breathing like flowers, frilling up the air
inside a cornucopia world of rich and bright
Birds are calling from afar symmetrical chirps
of grandeur, across the wide expanse
nocturnal illumination of the heart and soul
Varathane music sonatas, flute escapades
within a dormant brook, nature's usurp
Fairies, trellises, and magic twigs interlinked
inside the Foloi forest, the mighty oak respires
aside centaurs and dryads, of their time
an emerald green, bottled by nature herself
all is transformed here, even the sky is pinked
Altered, Remodeled, Reworked, Transformed,
by my sweet, poetic imagination...
"Follow Me "
The two intrinsically interlinked aspects
of human subsistence, society and politics,
design the fundamental tenets of world order,
that regulates the dynamics of human coexistence.
The contextual norms and values of society
depict the evolving pattern of political topography
with the transforming architecture of public opinion,
fabricated by the community environment and culture.
The structure of the political system entwined
inseparably with societal fabric of race and gender,
harmoniously connects with the collective hierarchies,
deciding the course the nations will take in the future world.
Filigree
Celtic Filigree
Graceful filigree unbroken
Weaves a tracery
With strands entwined
Like a whisper from the misty isles
Woven into whorls of melodic unity,
Indivisible spirals of the eternal three,
Thin harp strings of crisscrossed swirls
Weaving lyric filigree
Delicate fine threads elaborate
Earth, water, fire in legends
Of scholar saints and mystics –
Erin’s braided shield
Two hearts intertwined into infinity
As a king’s wisdom brings a benediction
Of enduring life
That reaches back into the dusty kells
Of rosettes in oak roots interlinked
Plaited knotwork - no beginning and no end -
Echoes eons of captured grace
In continuous mystical contours

There are several well-known Celtic knots including Knotwork, The Trinity Knot, the Dara Knot, Solomon’s Knot and the Love Knot.
One of the meanings of “kells” is cocoon or chrysalis
act 1
At peak of rhetoric, grim emotions,
tear drops build in blinking eyes with passion,
on his knees stiletto to end it all,
with his own guilty hands he would fall,
a deathly silence greets the hall!!
act 2
“Don’t go! please stay!” she bemoans, pleads with love,
his stony heart yields not, he gives a shove,
on the ground she falls in dust and sorrow,
loses heart- for there is no tomorrow,
grief greets silence in every row!
act 3
the moment when truth is to be revealed,
heart beats faster and every lip is sealed,
she indeed is mother of orphaned child,
life events unfold as by fate compiled!
suppressed, quiet, but tears supplied!
epilogue
human nature to feel when pain bothers,
we shed tears with suffering of others,
interlinked we are in an unseen mesh,
united in thought, divided in flesh,
reason why audience goes hush!

Can I escape
from my own imbedded think
Rapidly warped perception
is the liquid I drink
What Jesus is saying
I discard with a blink
My mind bent morality
displacing Biblical ink
The collapse of my synapses
interlinked and exhausted
with too many strange thoughts
my mixed mind is accosted
So sinking six feet
a shrivelled seed potted
Mildewed dusty dirty
in the burnt soil rotted
I rise from the ashes
Escape from my dry
Soul, body, mind, reconstitution
on the wind I now fly
Embracing this new freedom
Knowing why my old self had to die
Perspective changes everything
when viewed from on high
For God’s ways are different
He speaks in whispers not a shout
Trusting in His wisdom
removes every doubt
Within this mortal heart
I can feel His Spirit sprout
Who I wished to be before
is no longer what I’m about.

Richard J. Lamoureux
Losing its pretence of absolute control,
light it seemed was fumbling for a solace
in the unending pit of coming night.
Shadows trudged into the living room,
sliding through the Persian carpet unobtrusively
to claw their way up onto the black wallpaper and dissolve,
like a river ceases to exist in the sea.
As the journey from day to night
must pass through the interlinked border of twilight,
there also has to be an estuary in a story with a river and a sea,
to bring it a sense of completion

Happiness and gloom, interlinked.
When a smile decorates a face,
Other remains sad possessed.
I hate to say, it's like a knot of shoe lace.
At the moment of grateful joy for one,
May be for the other the poorest mode on
Feelings jovial shall be in the room of heart.
And other's will harsh emotional struggle.
You never know what comes next.
Are you fornuate?- stop the torture to self.
For none is destined to be a legend.
Though effortless minds won't get,
What might dynamic barbarians with raids set.
Truly said, Labour never goes in vain.
For patience may be the way,
Every stoppage is either sorrow or gay.
But you move on for destination's sake.
In this life cycle, be you the rider.
And will come an end to this someday.
Until then, live worry less and unafraid.
Sometime in the early morning
Their interlinked fingers
Made the final stand
Exhausted partisans
Giving up the war
and quietly returning
To a world of forgotten dreams
The object of my desire
You send my heart into the stratosphere
Waiting for your smile
Like waiting for the sun to rise
Dreaming of us
My mind a mess
With scattered images of you
Driving through the stars
Of opal & amethyst
Burning for you with a violet fire
Yearning for you like a sphinx
Our bodies & souls interlinked
In the night
Our passions come to light
Dancing across the sky
Playing us a lullaby
Happy & alive.
Common arena, not necessarily geographic
Ordained by a group of individuals confined in a territory
Meeting and interacting be it coincidental or intentional
Making contacts and creating lots of webs
Understanding and communication between different people
Not necessarily having same interests or ideologies
It could be a place like Essex or the internet, like facebook
The most important is interlinked communication
Yes, just like a garden with herbs, shrubs and exotic plants
I thought I heard you utter my name
So gentle a whispered refrain
Near to my ear this early dawn
Now fully awakened by my alarm
Remember....
Rain drenched, we made tree shelter as it poured
Gently you stroked my hair from my eyes
Whispering words of love I adored
Many happy years have passed, how time flies
Remember.....
So close, even our breathing was in sync
When your protective arm encircled me
Whispering words of love our fingers interlinked
Our love transparent for all to see
Remember......
Our honeymoon spent at Niagra Falls
Sipping champagne cocktails, I whispered your name
Not much sightseeing as I recall
Do you remember it as the same
Remember.......
My darling boy there cannot be any other
Only you in my heart as a flickering flame
I lie beside you on your hospital cover
Whisper, if you can dear, my Christian name.
