Long Effused Poems

EFFUSED ENCOUNTER


Neither a dream nor a trick, I beguiled--
I reach the sky enameled with golden smile.
To hurdle bumps and curves, I continue to pedal
this steadfast being yearn to step on a pedestal,
I found at the...

Once upon a silent summer eve, 
as fine vermilion lines, 
between bleeding moonlight, 
swiftly sailed across
  my darkness and I, 
sakura springs sang 
 dulcet melodies of 
  a deathless devotion, 
incised within...

Enthralled by her presence
I obsessed over her captivating impression
The room became still, as her beauty lingered
My eyes effused by her figure
Pondering on satisfying this craving, this vigorous attraction
I approached this distraction

I remember her alluring scent

 sallow-skinned, salacious, seductive beauty,
  secure, safely sequestered in seclusion;
   sinking, shaking, shattered, submerged 
self-contained, self-centered in selfless solitude
 
she sleeps, 
 a slip of a slenderized, spindly silhouette

A highlight of my grown-up life,
Before I was a mom or wife,
Was being one of those who cheered
On game days, when our teams appeared.

Like a mountain-daughter you descended
From a peak! I opened up my eyes—
Broken was my meditation! 
A face pristine I beheld-- what a purity!
Dazzled with unblemished divine rays 
Under a sky of many sparkling stars 
Your...

He came to me and gently brought,
the fairest flowers of His thought.

Joy arrived with euphoric mums,
softly as the hummingbird hums.

Purity blown from baby’s breath,
ever innocent until death.

Peace pervaded purest poppy,
tranquil bliss nothing can copy.

Happiness borne...

serving as a now withering proof of the sky’s anger…

An offensive mirror
produces my face,
and ears listen to a
hackneyed heart beat

Vibrant, bliss suffused solitude 
Epitome of fortitude 
Dwelling in void centric stillness 
Unclinging, joyous attitude

Detachment is path to wellness 
Sans thought flow, free of it’s shrillness
Abiding in time stretched silence 
Cure all of ego spawned...
