Long Brines Poems

sometimes I sing 
antique anthems,
of the nights 
I was confined 
  within a bottle
of diamond tears,  
wept woefully
   from the widest sky
that held kaleidoscopic stars~
amidst festooned fields of 
pixie-dust flowers,
hanging like...

The air feeds fire that burns from wood;
The earth yields wood that water grows;
The fire now sires steam from cold moods;
The water fields strength as fire shows!


Such is the ring that goes and comes;
Four elements...

Cozy comfort
Silky bed linen;
Somnolence sums

~~~~~~~~~


Humid heat wave
Hot sticky sweat;
Fatigue brines

~~~~~~~~~


Thought in deep sway
Philosophy flings;
Wit sums humour

~~~~~~~~~


Love the first-cause
Life dances brisk;
Symbiosis

~~~~~~~~~


Start here
Live now;
Death sums

~~~~~~~~~


In this moment
Eternity hurls;
All-in bet

Too late...

On the wings of angel we will fly
Soaring above the harmonious cloud
Above nightingale will sings her sweetest lullaby
The air will spread its melody low and loud

I will take you onto the heaven's garden
We are free...

I hold myself a prisoner 
A captive taciturn 
Unspeakable enticement still yearning
Since coming of age to discern

Yet never knowing 
Except in part 
The fullness to overflowing
In the cerebral cortex of my heart

The heart knows reason
Which...

Tale in a sale,
Spice with fine price;
Veil that shrouds pale,
Prize that fits vice.


Take what you make,
Dyke to speak right;
Stake a fine break,
Sight comes with light.


Glow with wise show,
Reach what you preach;
Flow as you grow,
Beach as...

A lighthouse blinked deep in the shadows' gray   
a fog-horn bordered at the distanced lines,
few stars were scattering above the bay
and scintillating mirrored in my eyes;
- my eyes were focusing upon the brines,

Days with pain are yet to come
So as such the heart would bleed
Over the hole life has made
From which it’s been sprouted as seed
And the emptiness would hammer hard
On the broken and shattered heart.

Queer signs
Create finds

Odd norms
Sweet sour storms

Such haste
Mess sweeps waste

Senses now hinge
Upon thoughts strange,
A sensuous tinge
Fronts beauty's range.


Strange as strange seems
Upon odd spark,
A lovely theme
Confronts sure mark.


Beauty knows best
The arc of wit,
For in the quest
Blunt fest can fit.


So many chimes
Where beauty glows,
Now we seize...

Sense how you see in light that shows,
Thrill the fond gist with a calm feel;
Ink thoughts that free just what you know,
Live in the mist where true touch heals;
Lines in verse space move rhymes that...

Ode to the thralls of spring,
the birds familiar tune
the flutter of the butterflies
found frolicking at noon.

The tall trees and twisting birch,
the breeze that fills the air
mother natures peaceful tune
which make the world aware.

Roses with their...

Voice in sure choice such ample wit,
Observe the thrill of how you feel;
Love wears a poise with easy fit,
Urge knows a fill in ink stain quill;
Play of word brines where ideas swirl,
Thought cleavage shows in...

You remember oceans
Filling your wet footprints
With foam and salty brines
The tracks you left upon
Seashell crusted shorelines

You remember oceans
As immense illusions
Irregular and curled
Cutting slanted cliffs from
The wild ends of the world

You remember oceans
Majestic and complete
Like your...

Sleeping cloud to the rising sun
Blue envelop of the pink sky
Calling you with opening eyes

Horizontal yolk drawing paths
The folks of birds flying away
Flute of the cowboy catching all

Flowery bed on the spaced mind
Monsoon rain splattering...
