The Vessel pt 1 - A Blighted Vale II

The Vessel pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 2/2)

Amongst the dead and dying trees,
A Stygian crypt of crumbling stone
A doorway opened, not with man-made keys,
But forgotten tongue from forgotten tome
This ancient ruin with obscured glyphs,
Gently brushed clean with calloused tips
Whispered words from cracked, parched lips,
Spill forth with unhindered ease—
Like oft spoken lines from cherished poem

Through parted lips, unfiltered words—
Hang heavy on the autumn breeze
An incantation, profane and absurd,
With pressed palms and soiled knees
Then, a deafening clap like thunder,
Splits bark and stone asunder,
Unblinking, her eyes transfixed with wonder
'neath the cloak of night, something stirred,
Within the smoldering debris

Amidst the rubble, a stifling plume,
Coalesced from ash and stone
Sears the throat with each breath consumed,
Seizing muscle and aching bone
Then, a much welcomed reprieve,
Unfettering her senses and lungs to breathe
As the expelled miasma slowly recedes,
And takes on an appearance that mirrors her own

From blackened debris, this Phantom figure,
Whose form and features, to her's, akin
Its visage—a reflection, not of her cold exterior,
But tempered rage contained within
Under its gaze, —a violent shiver,
Her once steady hands, —now a tremor,
Its eyes a cauldron of glowing embers—
Set ablaze with devilish grin

Soul Formation

A deluxe abandoned soul well formed
Coalesced inside the pterodactyl flight
With warmth on primal wing still soars
Well above volcanic ash accumulated
Storms felt it first
Before the past could settle in the snow
Could know the cold 
Stone age man observes the power
Looking up, learns how to fly 
To escalate the day
Inhibited by nothing 
In that moment God knew what to do
It is never too late to fill in empty space
In a breath of future wildly disguised
Souls form far reaching in the sky
Get lost sometimes inside creation
Grow heavier than the mind can reason
Something we don't need to understand

Daily Enhancing Mindfulness

Discombobulation thunderously
torments, triumphs, tumults
courtesy deafening,
earsplitting, fracturing...
(think emotional bomb cyclone),
whereby unbearable mental anguish
rents psyche asunder 

into bajillion pieces
singular recourse necessitates
invoking cerebral powers
to engender feeling 
comfortably numb skull,
hence tried and true value accorded

transcendental meditation practice
offering absolutely zero choice
incumbent upon yours truly
to remedy cerebral chaos,
an unpleasant quotidian experience,
whenever yours truly 

exits deep sleep
more potent and holistic solution
versus following pharmacological medications:
GLYCOPYRROLATE, TAB 2MG
CLOMIPRAMINE CAP 50MG
RISPERIDONE TAB 1MG
FLUOXETINE CAP 20MG
PRAZOSIN HCL CAP1MG
BUSPIRONE TAB 15MG
PRAMIPEXOLE TAB 1MG
CLONAZEPAM TAB 0.5MG
AMITIZA 24 MCG 
(prescription laxative as needed)

the former closed eye process 
to instill peace of mind,
plus elevating cosmic consciousness
allowing, enabling and providing

pronouncedly heightened awareness
acutely poignant insight
permeating throughout this body electric
calming, fanning, jumpstarting
vitally important discipline
in order for lifetime anxiety riddled

disabling affliction upends
potential to satiate existence
(oft times state of severe panic -
triggering chronic sweaty palms
extremely bothersome
physiological manifestation

induces suicidal ideation
i.e. opened arms death welcomed),
which onset regarding
ordinary agitated state
inchoate congenital malady
probably coalesced in utero

extremely intolerable,
especially incorporating socialization,
cuz no contra dance partner
(cue Irish jig and reel
musicians playing lively tunes)
favors grasping hand
analogous to wet dishrag.

Premium Member Seeding Clouds

We did not speak of rain;
only the wish that our love
could be again.
The air was bone-dry,
with only the merest glimpse, 
of wispy cloud remnants,
in the sky.

But, our thoughts, hopes and wishes
coalesced to form empty 
puffy, fluffy, white cloud receptacles.
That we could seed with intent, 
by prying drops, one at a time,
from memories long forgotten
gone bone dry.

We tapped our reminiscences,
of the good times we shared,
buried deep in our dry parched ground.
We sent each droplet squeezed, 
aloft to gather
in the clouds above.

The clouds darkened with foreboding,
reluctance and trepidation, 
as their burden grew 
with expectation overdue.

At last, the clouds, 
topped up to brimming full,
could hold on no longer!
They burst and gushed out with raindrops. 
That toppled on our heads,
sprouting our seeds, 
watered from the clouds above, 
seeded with our love.

Premium Member Arctic Afterglow


When the 
glacial sun slips 
in softened womb 
of the scarlet 
spheres at dusk, 
yearning for 
hibernal rebirth 
as a lustrous 
morning star, 
it radiates 
golden beams 
like lakes of sunshine,
flowing over 
chiming starlit bells 
in our hazy haven;
and I scrap 
frosted flakes
off the bittersweet 
pamphlets that 
whisper our names 
in the misty winds 
of 'Us'. 

Calming the 
coalesced chaos 
within my 
infernal pulses, 
his warmth drapes
this enchanted soul 
with daffodil-
smudged days
of hot cocoa amidst 
a wintry wonderland. 
If I could bloom 
like an arctic 
afterglow's heart 
on bare alpine trees, 
I would only 
choose him to be 
my daylight-
perfumed violet 
scent, evermore. 

I can never 
stroll away 
from the shimmering 
silverine memory, 
when my muse's
trust breathed 
hailstorm's poesy in 
my solstitial lungs 
and kissed the 
fractals of a bruised 
poet's spirit.

Dreaming of yuletide,
I achingly yearn 
to become the 
silken apricity of 
those soft lyrics
that swing in his 
thundersnow thoughts 
and frostbitten flesh, 
re-writing the jaggery saga
of twin-sanguine-lovers
in beige brushstrokes
of foggy 'We'.

Sometimes,
I forsake to 
surrender and 
ask for a peaceful
nod from the 
'Lord of Soulmates', 
can I be the 
honeysuckle ink 
for my beloved's
watercolor feather, 
always nurturing
the snowy twists of 
our tale within fate's 
untold wisdom? 

When I desire 
to wander in 
black-iced myths of 
insatiable agony, 
will he become 
my bejeweled healer 
and fight off those
sombre silhouettes 
of Jack Frost's 
saudade, like a samurai? 

For, I take him 
as the gift of 
my last wish, 
forever inhaling 
the chilly secrets 
of our lantern-
lives in my 
subconscious visions, 
that keep me 
alive upon
crestfallen sleets 
of intuitive icicles;
I want to live forever, 
in his pearly eyes' abode, 
which coruscates
with glossy lustre 
of fireflies and 
makes me flutter
my hiemal 
white wings like a 
spellbound fairy in 
grey-orchid sonatas.


What Inchoate Flux If Any Preceded Timelessness

What Inchoate Flux (if Any) Preceded Timelessness?

Temporarily engrossed
     with some routine
     activity with aplomb
(such as dismantling
     an atomic bomb)
every now, and

     again these myopic
     (brown) eyes regularly glanced
     at the clock calm
lee aware of traversing,
     thru space/time continuum,
     for no apparent

     reason, (or rhyme)
     I suddenly felt damn
founded, and struck
     with quirky query,
     asper, whence upon
     whatever revelation

     did the passage of seconds,
     minutes, or hours did ham
handedly become codified,
     delineated, and etched
     allowing, enabling,
     providing humans

     to fritter away life
     in a traffic jam
hence, ewe may
     cock head sideways,
     or bleat me like a lamb
moost likely breaking out

     [with the verse a ram...sam...sam
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
     A ram sam sam, a ram sam sam
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
     A rafiq, a rafiq
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam
     A rafiq, a rafiq
     Guli guli guli guli guli ram sam sam]

perhaps, now even 
     more so befuddled than before
by my challenge
     to communicate,
vizier, i.e., whether ye har
     sir man or ma'am

how the vista of
     the past present or future
     (oh...way before 'Nam!)
basically what conditions -

     also oh yea,
     way before Ram
mud Dan coalesced
     to beget getting the
     shed jewel for the tram
so as NOT tug git supervisor
     to hit you with a WHAM!

Premium Member Universe

Universe
                                       
                            
         Universe is now well ordered whole interacting entity. We explore and try to perceive through our senses. Was there any Master Plan? Was there any Creator? 
 .
                            Dark void was Cosmos
                                 No Matter, no Energy
                                         No Space set

                                Big Bang exploded.
                                  Energy, Matter appeared.
                                 Space sets, Time was on.

  Matter, Energy, Space were captivated by Gravitational singularity. All were squeezed in infinitesimal small dense super extreme hot state. Cataclysmic explosion termed as Big Bang gave birth to Universe Instantly Universe started to expand rapidly everywhere round.
 . Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Big Bang just released the already –existing Energy.
  .At birth Universe was not ‘Big’, but smaller than a single proton. Explosion didn’t come up as ‘Bang’.It was like a snap breaking sharply 
                     
   Sea of sub atomic particles appeared 
               within one second of Big Bang.
       Protons, electrons, neutrons, positrons, 
        neutrinos and photons all sang.
      As high as ten Billions degree Celsius  
  Bell of tremendous temperature rang
    Photons influenced by free electrons sprang.

  
  From opaque state Universe suddenly turned transparent illuminated by after-glow cosmic microwave radiation. Gigantic clouds of primordial Cosmos particles coalesced by Gravitational Pull.Cluster of stars and galaxies started formation.
    Within three minutes simple atomic nuclei came up. Universe continued to cool down.Thousand years passed to shape electrically neutral atom.
                          
 .Gravitational pull was supposed to control the expansion of Universe. But Universe is going on expanding. Far away are the galaxies, greater is the acceleration to recede. Something other than Matter or Energy is pushing distant galaxies apart.

        This mysterious stuff is not to ignore.
    It is termed ‘Dark Energy’, yet to explore.
          Will the expansion of Universe stop by chance?
   Or, will it ever crush on a Big Crunch ?

Premium Member Wide-Eyed Children

mother star beams, behold her errant brood
  six troubled rocky planets
  the innermost, a dense, two-faced, frosty furnace
  the outermost, pulled apart
  by a distant massive gaseous jovial giant
  the fifth, marred by dust storms 
  red ragged rift-valley scar, enormous pimple
  atmosphere leaking almost gone
  the second, bright but secretive, clouds of deception
  concealed runaway heating
  ........
  the other two, calamitous and extraordinary


  individual but fatally curious
  third and fourth spiral in close
  wild and wayward, so eager and elliptical
  a deadly orbiting kiss
  the smaller sibling is stunned, shattered and shaken
  mass and momentum reduced
  memory wiped, coalesced, captured and condemned
  demoted, demented moon
  gravity bound, bombarded, heavily cratered
  transfixed, compelled to witness
  ........
  momentous mayhem convulsing the tidal companion


  condensing from surface to core, dynamic orb
  mesmeric melt transforming
  rhythmic magnetic field flickers, shielding
  convection and subduction
  radioactive warmth, magma, mantel and crust
  moving land, oceans and ice
  coriolis-driven storms and chemical soup
  then strange organic matter
  evolution, what's this? pin-prick lights, tickling feet
  the moon has a grinning smile
  ........
  from a mini-module, some wide-eyed children have come to play


  canny creatures, evolved, programmed, launched to survive
  trial and error beings
  hopeful genes to be nurtured, cuddled, teased and taught
  transcendent and emergent
  complex beyond their parts, the planet's pinnacle
  challenging older orders
  the chains of certainty, imbecilic greatness
  time-surfing on nature's wave
  promoting intelligence, compassion and love
  bathed in envious moonlight
  ........
  mother star knows her wide-eyed children will leave one day

Paternal Misgivings Linger

Though thine two grown
     former babes in crib age,
now lead checkered lives,
     no longer monopolize my time

     as though their persons went backstage
either one embracing, judging,
     and negotiating positive
     chutes and ladders with courage

evoking glee this papa
     helped both beautiful lasses
     avoid being risk averse
     navigating life with minimal damage

though to get ahead of the class,
     (asper the eldest Eden Liat)
     credit karma fairly and squarely attributed
     to herself with encourage

meant from this papa, who oft time
     felt he lacked any clue
     akin to a hobbled battleship left
     to drift at sea, whence,

     upon landfall sub
     sequent lee forced to forage
in a foreign dominion (akin to being
     among Settlers of Catan),

     plus devoid of instruments to gauge,
     an optimal strategic operation,
     thus figuratively groping in the dark
     (unaware of a brewing twister)

     guided by blind faith
doth admit saying sorry,
     but apologetic homage
     would disqualify thyself,

     a "FAKE" mastermind
     undeserving of just desserts,
unfairly via diktat plucking sweet treats
     awash within Candy Land,

     a deceptive image
entrancing, luring and, spellbinding
     ultimately incurring trouble,
particularly when Shana Aubrey

     (younger by about
     twenty six months)
garnered lion's share of parental attention
     necessitated mandatory intervention

      due to language
skills, plus pronounced
     developmental delay,
     where supreme social service

     sages gentle massage
wrought divine prestidigitation
     as one after another
     case worker did overencourage

to counteract congenital
     cognitive setback (coalesced in utero),
now finds das dada envious
    (cuz, aye got mired, hogtied, 

     and bogged down with
    obsessive compulsive trivial pursuit, 
     hence warrant so lucky as thee Punim)

     steers ship shape body electric
     round her uncharted cerebral
     cape of good hope passage.

Premium Member Why Are We Here

Life is the epithet of unique existence,
the construct of divine elements almighty designs
with the heavenly essence suffused
in the coalesced trinity of body, mind and soul.

Trying to get released from the egoistic clasp  
of karmic destiny, leading to loss of the sense of self,
the perception of the pervading divine conscience 
transcends the space-time limits for inward journey.

Beneath the convolute layers of the clouded mind,
at its inner depth soul perceives the awareness dawn, 
creating the holy linkage with the absolute, 
and comprehends the meaning of existence.

As the divine lotus serenely unfurls within 
with the perception of His endowment of nirvana, 
beautifies the sublimated life with heavenly adornment, 
the supreme then assimilates the undying soul.

Devoid of the body and with the acquired intelligence,
the liberated soul transcends the mortal existence, 
reaches the realm of eternity to realign
with divine consciousness for which we are here.
