Long Airiness Poems

When playtime was over my tiny hands tediously picked up Tyco toys, a fistful of three at a time. "Atta girl," my dad would encourage. This daunting task was heroically spared when his master hands...

My being rises beyond hills or feathers gliding 
deepened by silence immense,
where in peak of light anointed
through soul union-- 
the grail of non- resistance widens
   Beyong boundless path,

Of a dawning in a brilliant twilight hoverance,
Skipping along an unmarked trail so unexpectedly,
Dared naught say out mumbled words offered without pure malice,
None receptive to my thoughts for a soulless oddity,

Passed a bed of sleeping...

A sitting takes me to an attic of raw light
bestowing  quiet glow for travelers
unyielding to a precise compass
of direction, a spaceless space nourished as it
were, losing the self to Bodhi-like clouds
and nomadic lotus spins.

Ethereal, fleeting, incandescent
I grasp loosely at the airiness
So vibrant on the escarpment
X-rays pass through bone and flesh
Leaving no mark
I hold emptiness

Where are the diamonds?
Filling my fingertips?
Brushing my lips?
Tickling my tongue?
Lingering within my heart?
Eternity breaks open
Inverting...

I twinkle in the eyes of a crazy beholder,
Concealing bouquet of flaring smoulder.

I flicker sailing in the pitch-dark sky, being bright:
Fusing atoms in cores to create heat and light.

I am red while cool and turn...

somewhere,
along an intersection of a mystical  dance,
I  have climbed, levitated and roamed
into a pathway of seasonless space,
where my fluid, heightened breath
circles along veils of  astral  light
sun eclipsing moon: dark-toned, half-streaked...

One leaf left on tree
No undue unhappiness
Always in great spree

One leaf left on tree
All by itself in the airiness
Feels never lonely or retiree

One leaf left on tree
It spends itself as it sways
Breathing with utmost glee

Peace slips lightly
Over my shoulders
Downy in its softness
Its netting of gossamer
Floats downward
As a willow's branches
Might brush fate
And touch the unknown
I stand with beauty
I hug airiness

Fire in distant trees
Burnished red and gold
Drop their leaves
One by one...

Blight the clouds lowly dispirited feigns,
Despite these regards there belies the shrouds,
In height uncovers the misplaced reclaims,
Ignite, blameless drives of a dove in clouds.

In measured distance or that of life's span,
Of treasured reflections as fawning...

I have often gazed 
up at the sky, and 
off at the sea – sensing
a certain innate airiness
about me; told of relationship
between fishes and me – 
the firm of land perhaps
only relative to my thinking...

Conflicting waves ruffle the smooth blue static
hindering the ethereal progression of her path
Airiness sinks heavily to lean into leaden aqua
mistiness lingering, a foggy dolorous  requiem
Practical currents, seem to have lost their step
as winds gust,...

Mind meanders the off-beat, sultry stream
In his irises beam dreamy-colored confetti
Satin seeds spark growing sensorial needs
Smiling silken caresses of petal-rich kisses

Breezy boldness makes a bloom succumb
Enamored by airiness, to nod and swerve
Heaven’s clouds swept along...
