Long Elates Poems

A Bagpipe am I,
My drones point to the sky!
I am magic they say, since the wizard ‘spelled’ on me that day.

He gave me the gift of immortal time,
I could travel through centuries,
T’was a gift.
It was...

The Age of Innocence

The age of innocence now far behind
The levels of love pass slowly by
The elusive joyous one to find
The drive diminishing to even try

Then a voice within cries out
This is not your time...

In the warmest of seasons,
when the cheerless moon of a remote town
rises from beyond the fir and maple-covered hills,
in great suspense and silence,
a brief song is played by this guitar
with a few chords and numerous...

He sent the raindrops
He sent the sun
He sent the wonder
To our hearts and souls
He sent the music
He sent the joy
He sent the miracles
To whisper to our minds

It was only in the gifts
Sent by His loving...

Here I found a cruel necessity for a new, chilling ambience
There was even a need for the drifting fogs of dreary past 
A need for the blurred emptiness that sadness elates
An unimpeded appetite for a...

A Lady Waits

The sleepy sea massages a creaking ship which slowly navigates
through blackness the sky emanates and the great Atlantic integrates.
A sailing school of serenading seagulls dips and dives and celebrates,
and amongst the sea-sick shipmates,...

I,
Felt,
Your love,
Blind in fun,
Dipped in passion,
Wrapped in sensational lust
Outcome of silent regrets and deep frustrations, yet,

I believed in your trust,
For which I was blind,
I Believed...

Vision, a window divine, open wide to aspirations of heart,
A lens paramount, for perusing aesthetics of beauty and art;
A sight beaming imagination, on ambitions of curious soul,
A focus coherent, shaping impulses, passions studious cajole.

A medium...

When I try to recall my childhood memories,
My heart elates with those stockpiled in my unwritten registry.
I used to enjoy walking under the trellis of “vines”
The rich “hued” pink and purple blossoms 
With their sweet...

The groom sweeps pass the floor,
Like the flood does with her pride.
He matches pass the crowd like a moor,
Examining intensely while on his ride.
He flashes back the day of plan,
When he draft out the necessary...

Graduation day! Let us celebrate!
A milestone attained! Indeed, hard work pays!
Savour this moment! Life struggles can wait!

Through sweat and toil,...

With warm rays of sun on her canvass so pale,
the white bird glides in her regal flight.
She hovers a bit as she looks down below
to ponder on man, rushing to and fro.
As she glides with...

The sick sadistic people that torture the kid
Thinking of thoughts to fascinating in sin
Hiding behind a stature of loneliness he hates
A time warp in his chest it elates
Swaying through time with no cause or mentality

pernicious weeds a metaphor
for wild growth inside 
my mind and soul

dandelion mating with brambles
wild cats’ rampant Rubus 
grinding teeth and thorns

reason guides the trowel
for emotions to follow
while thistles whistle their good bye 
and morning glory...

spring nearing its end

verdant landscape sandy beach
families frolic

short summer showers
heat and humidity reign
sunlight lingers...

enabled now for co-creation
our free will chooses
either blissful joy or agitation

within vibrant void of stillness 
ego thoughts rested
that that is is bliss in fullness

A storm, a mind
brought to snow globe capacity with dust to shake
glittering, glittering 'till it falls

Never satisfied with objects which let you look
but not touch their innards
I always sought to pry such...

Feel the divine nectar drip
As it embarks upon its trip
From the Bindu-Sahasrara
Via Ajna to the Anahata
Fire in Manipura must wait
As in the heart bliss elates 
Expansion therein exponential 
Amidst silent thunder magical

Feel numerous lifetrons awaken

Whenever the nation summoned me to hurry for war,
She stood wet-eyed and faded as though already widowed;
Equilibrium of my judgment couldn't find sure score,
Feelings hid the reason; reason, feelings; I got pillowed...!

Young lady, dark eyes smiling, gazes soft upon her dreams.  
She holds violin, her companion, near as Chopin’s notes 
surround her, resonating in her soul, splendor’s refrain.
As music comes alive, nimble fingers wake, restless...
