“The Dissolving Heart” 

How many keys
played for seeds 
bleeding a life

read, received 
cast out 
in the left field 

planted in the heart
of karma to become
new life reflecting

inwards out to another 
holding the echoing
music kept safe...

THE AQUATIC GRAVEYARD

Beneath the deadly rough waves cryptic path of destruction,
There is an ethereal place of eerie silence, in the stilled frozen
Chilling depth, it is the final resting place for wreckage's carnage,
The aquatic graveyard of...

There is only one inborn error,
And that is the idea that we exist to be happy...
As long as we persist in this primordial mistake,
And even become confirmed in it through optimistic dogmas,
The world seems full...

An Existential Curiosity

~0~

Ambitious existent presence to yield,
Hostage that's well endured of a pre-life,
Handcuffed fallible praying to be healed,
Labyrinth attributes drudgery strife.

Redeeming shrilling lob gratis to air,
Longings bounded dreamt outpours...

GHOST MIRRORS

Ghostly images captured within the prism of reflected light,
Ethereal waves rippling against reality’s framed surface
Of the translucent, as phantom hands press, slamming at
The fragile glass of dualities deadened zone of existence!
A sudden shimmering, in...

with four couples
points out the difficulties in living together

It is the unsettling feeling of uneasiness, the unseen
Presence that quickens your pulse rate, are you being
Watched, what lies in the darkened hallows of the
Black shadows?
Why does the whispering wind scream beware, into
My inner ears...

The Mind's Labyrinth

In the quiet chambers of thought,
Where neurons weave their intricate dance,
Lies the mind—a labyrinth of wonder,
A cosmic tapestry spun by chance.

Memories echo through its corridors,
Whispers of laughter, tears, and longing.

If a poem or essay can end with a conclusion or its opposite, either one,
Can it be of any use to anyone?

Do the discrepancies and disparities, dualities and densities, reflect only

Life is a saga of dualities, 
No one is perfectly happy here 
Everyone lacks something or other 
All have some problems or other 
Rich, famous, healthy all are unhappy! 

Why is no one at peace?...

When circumstances make you sad
When one after another problems abound
Like a phoenix you raise 
from the ashes of agony
and smile in utter faith

When physical pain distresses
When you lack strength to...

(Reflections on A College Reunion)

Too much of loveliness enfolds  the  ground
I walked in youth, again in age,
and I shall soon lie down beneath it
as my spirit wafts above its art
in clear salute to...

If I were that rose
[purple]from the breath of may,
I would preach love
not the blood of heartbreaks.

If I were that rose
my necter I shall give freely,
and not as a loan
given to the poor out of greed.

Warmth contained in the liquidity,
Breaking out of its vessel and bleed,
Painted with the Red of Life,
The Yang breathing inside this Yin,
Is but the child born due to this Fire,
Even salvation is satanic, for it is...

I glimpsed our horizon echoing Sun
Voluminous sets of waves whispered crest
Neath, its silent swarm's hushed sealife possess
A sullen saffron lens rise slumbered some

Dualities of grand expanse, lay calm
Aquarium of a glassless shore stills
The constant vastness...

Good sense suppose of all things equally shared,
everyone’s abundance of thoughts much cared.
Those who are most difficult to satisfy,
larger measure of doubt in mental sky.
Sense of reason by diversity and consequence,
some endowed with larger shares...

Two faces; two juxtaposed deportments; two qualities;
On one hand, past pains; on the other, future jollities
Janus, the Roman god of progress and dualities
Dwells with keys of the door, gate, and threshold formalities

I've heard the opposite of love is indifference.
I think something different than that.
It's hate, though the feeling of nothing, far worse.
Something matter of fact.
Only through hate can we know of love's place.
Just as sweltering sweat...

Joys,
sorrows , 
good and bad, 
are dualisms
present since eternity. We all seek
good sans bad, ever thought which is better?
Hardships strengthens,
shows life truths,
ends our 
sins.

When 
we think 
positive,
are calm even
in miseries, they vanish on their own.
