Earlier I could feel the cold and placid liquid...

Self-aggrandizing words spew from my page of endless,
rather obscure metaphors and similes, 
each one more labyrinthine than the last,
reeking of pretention and thesaurus over-usage,
as if by some ponderous stretch of the  imagination I will...

Scar-instilled lessons…
Bring me to grateful cogitations' engagements
Since soul speaks of human’s “self-consciousness.”
Affirming that scars are the path to the soul.

I have become “a living soul…”
Such is God-wrought mystery revealed by my Mother’s scar
Thru her cut...

Like a blood-red moon on the zenith of the summer sky
Like a crimson bindi on the forehead of a bride, shy
I place you, O anger, within my core consciousness realm.
With agitations of cogitations, within I...

My cogitations after learning about THE 27 CLUB*:

Confronted with secrets of existence
My soul strives to remain optimistic
As I resolve what seems enigmatic
Trusting God, anchored on faith’s persistence.

Shall we dance

Shall we dance, Mystery Woman, shall we dance?

Shall we tango with words, slowly, to learn
Each other ‘s rhythms of wit and being?

In orderly procession of statement...

Maximizing coldness delight
We huddled together as family
Enclosed by glowing warmth of love
Ignited by parental and sibling bonding
While savouring steamy chicken porridge…
Such was my cherished childhood experience during cold months.

Defying oppressive chilly blows
We gathered as a...

Oh, how sweet it is to ponder
love notes, surpassing heartfelt ecstasy
expressed with divine endearment---

…You’re the beauteous Eve
who completes my ribs
as it finds belongingness in yours
toward one flesh partnership 
of cleaving and clinging 
marked by commitment's...

"I should have lost a gesture and a pose.
Sometimes these cogitations still amaze
The troubled midnight and the moon's repose."

I hear, I see, I feel.  I think too much. 
   
Then, I become introverted and isolated,  
And beside myself I speak to myself within myself. 
Yet, Enmity and Fear are...

And he stands apart, cold
While the world wassailed and reveled
In the full glare of the light
Till dusk comes beckoning.
 
He shrouds from the awkward embraces
A language in plethoric display.
His frame slanted, he observes.
From vantage angle,...

Attack of below zero temperature assailing  
Blankets the room beyond blustery
Chills of the arctic, cleaving…

Daring to defy dreariness
Enveloping season of enchanting enigmas
Fueled by prayer place while adorned with furred coat, fleecy…

Glistening yuletide trees glare...

How shall I deal with this wandering mind?
Meandering through a meadow of ideas,
Seeking truth among noxious weeds I find

Since early childhood I have been curious
Always sifting through my brain’s cogitations
Accepting new concepts; discarding previous,

Tossing thoughts...

The Moon becomes closer,
My cogitations remain jumbled
I escaped the town a while ago
The festering wounds did not heal
Nothing could usher me backward
The surviving solids stayed held tight
All my affections are still within me.

I cannot reckon...

Blissful blessed gatherings, victorious…

Delighting with gift of eternal worth…

Faith-received to share by compassion zest.
