in the public square
you are not to be questioned
just admired
for your dark demonstrations
of being
the hanging black spider waves its life at you
perhaps the arachnid lover is demoralized
by your hidden beauty
hard to tell
you cringe under its radiant otherness
in the public museum
take the tour backwards
let the man with the megaphone mouth
spin his webs not from the center out
but outer to inner
inwardness opens windows in closed walls
be kind to the blank eyed watchers
here is a beautiful oil on canvas
there is a spider in the corner
that no one notices
for it has no frame
its eight legs tremble
The man in the bus-driver cap
extols her still not living attractions
the ugliness of the moment
is memorized by the whole gallery
only the Picasso remains free
of the taint of paint
A fat woman sighs into my face
threads exude
multiple silky spinnerets
droop from sticky glands
I want out
the way I came in
but am now too endangered
to weave my way out of this
carry out picture palace
As winter leaves the stage and takes a bow
A gentle warmth rejuvenates the earth
And dormant spring awakens to endow
Creation with a glorious rebirth.
The sun-kissed touch of resurrection's sway
Excites all nature with its full embrace.
Proud tulips raise their heads in bright array
And spiders weave their threads of silken lace.
The dulcet sounds of birdsong fill the skies
As butterflies with stained glass wings take flight.
Fair, fragile chiffon poppies mesmerize
And cheery golden daffodils delight.
Each season brings its blessings from above
But spring extols the measure of God's love.

Greet the sanguine dawn’s mauve sunrise,
A crimson pizzaz blushing opaline skies
Where eagle flies questing higher highs
Thrilling endearing vibes of enamored eyes
In sparrow’s glance, in cardinal’s dance
In the call of passion, in trill of romance.
Feel the gentle tease of buoyant breeze
And rhythms lilting on blossoming trees
As resplendence extols nature’s appeal~
White-blooms scintillating magnolia’s zeal,
Blazing red-peonies, flaming gold-daffodils,
Glint panorama glistening verdant foothills.
It’s the bubbling spirit of burbling stream
It’s budding impulse of meadow’s dream
It’s passionate horizon of magenta gleam
It’s the dawning aspiration of sunlit beam
It’s colorful ballet of splendiferous theme
It’s heavenly spring of earthly daydream.
Hear sweet songs of love strumming air,
Seductive melodies wafting everywhere
As birds hop, waltz, frolic, sing, and play
Serenading welcome to a beauteous day
Warbling verse of joy, trilling “cheer, cheer”
Oh! the spring is here, the spring’s here!

Sweetness Ordained
Can you remember
a smell
or only a fact
Can a bakery
in passing
free a memory lapsed
A sensory
flashback
its sweetness ordained
Olfactory joy
surviving time
— and the flame
**
Breathing Closer
Death
I hear thee coming
but still see thee not
Death
your chilling shadow
Atropos casting lots
Death
breathing closer
inhaling my soul
Death
by day silent
— the darkness extols
**
Dark Symbiosis
You heard me whisper
I heard you cry
You tracked my footsteps
which bade goodbye
A star crossed tandem
in shared release
Dark symbiosis
— of love’s retreat
**
A New Calling
Don’t ever let life
deprive you
of what only
death can claim
Each day of excuse
and diverted
dreams
will lock your hope in chains
Only when final
divinely
inspired
and stepping through the wind
Toward a new
calling
and fresh paradigm
— are we blessed to rebegin

The Essence of Soft Shadows
The essence of soft shadows on the wall
that shelters where we'll rest when we are gone,
where light flows in to grace the marble hall
and seasons can be seen with each new dawn...
Will speak to us of earthly joys we knew...
like sunny rays or raindrops on the glass;
and essence of soft shadows will come through
with visions of blue sky, green trees, and grass.
The essence of soft shadows will sweep in
to touch our names in gold there placed to see.
And we will feel quintessence there within
of earthy warmth and sites that used to be.
The essence of soft shadows here on Earth
do not exist when cast by Heaven's ray;
where there, our souls, in process of rebirth,
will watch our borrowed shells slowly decay.
And there above, our love will glow once more.
The essence of soft shadows on our souls
will fade away to shine forevermore
replaced by endless light that death extols.

On our bed she sits
Laced, bare to her skin
Pouting lips excite me
Teasing begins
Her tongue tastes the air
In a lusting roll
Through the lace I see ripe
My heart extols
Each moment she moves
I capture a pertness so firm
My eyes in delight
As my body affirms
She bows her head
Turns and looks
As soon as I view
Entranced, I'm hooked
Towards her I walk
Slow steps at a time
Nearing her beauty
Admiring sublime
I stand before she
Man that I am
To my knees I fall
As I become her lamb
Hands meet skin
Touching with kissing
Eyes momentarily meet
Knowing their wishing
The lace I gently pull
Revealing tanned soft skin
Desiring now affects me
To love her from within
Our bodies gently meet
Side by side we face and kiss
Loving moments captured
It's time to grace our bliss
Silk sheets endorse our rhythm
As we release undulating waves
In unison we share
Our sensuous inner craves

Tho' I am but the sparrow's twining strains
The palette and the pen of whisp'ring souls
I'm sweeter, still, if dashed upon the shoals
Or bleeding from the hem of day's remains
Tho' I may weep from all a scoundrel feigns
For what each soldier's dying breath extols
It's grander, even, morning's meadow rolls
As spindrift, tossed upon the grassy plains
Oh, I am found the coursing thru all things
As warm within your veins, as sunset's sky
My constancy, to love and swoon and hate
To stir in hopes or see what passion brings
So guard me, close, or open me and cry ...
I'll bound and thrum and patiently ... await.

Upheld steadfastly by sovereign brace
My existence extols divine grace.
Filled now with earnest gratitude
I ascend toward faith’s altitude
Propped by God’s unwavering might
Midst love-wrought service delight:
Fulfilling commitment from the start
Reaching-out along volunteerism rampart
Ministering well against selfishness’ dart
Pleasing Lord with joyous heart*.
*1Kings 8:66 ... Joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done...

Hope and Faith
With my body suffering from acute pains
After a fall on a slippery floor,
With the back hitting against the footsteps
And several ribs fractured at the core
Sleep becomes utterly vain,
Conflicting thoughts and clashing concepts
Invariably invade my mind,
The days seem to be dull, dreary and long,
Hardly inner peace I can find
And only wish my course not to prolong.
But the mind, after deliberations,
Counsels me not to forsake hope,
Not to give way to emotions
Nor a dark despair to adopt
But to cherish and nurture hope
As it is the effulgent light
That keeps the spirit ever bright,
Spurs man to rise up if he falls,
To move ahead to reach his real goal
And mark his imprint in the human scroll.
Hope enshrines a positive attitude,
Helps to discern the bright side of life
Relieves man from obnoxious solitude,
Assuages his arduous daily strife
And lends a hand to restore one`s health,
The most precious gift in the world
Which no amount of treasures or wealth,
And not even the rarest of pearls,
Can retrieve for one striving for a last breath
And who maintains hope at arm`s length.
Yet a low voice deep from my inner self
Extols the the virtues of faith in the Lord
As faith in the Lord is faith in oneself
And not to think of the Lord we can`t afford;
He cares for us in ways we can`t believe,
Extends His hands to temper our downfall,
Works out wonders our pain to relieve
And showers His grace on us if we call
On Him with wilful faith and devotion
And with resolute determination.
By Krishnanand Guptar
Love isn't just a single word
or feeling
Said to tickle an ear and
leave you reeling
Nor is love abstract and
void of care
But what one envisions and
does all year
We convey our love by
things that we do
When a loved one is hurting
we hurt too
Love is conveyed by deeds
not merely said
And connects us all with a
common thread
Love is single soul
embedded in two separate
bodies
That keeps the heart
beating for many centuries
Love isn't a feeling for a
short period
For Its care is countless and
myriad
Love is a word some find
difficult to say
But it leaves an enormous
price to pay
Love is feeling of endless
sacrifice
That can never be bought
with no price
Love is bond that binds two
souls
Its a great gift that must be
extols
Love is a shield that not
only blinds our heart from
hate
But distance our soul from
all forms of irate
Love means when one
hurts us, we forgive
Not five years later to bring
up and relive
Love takes our soul to
where it belong
for it keeps no record of
wrong
Love means to give without
asking
For it makes living on earth
basking
Love is boundless and
priceless
Its limitation is endless
Love sometimes forces on
us a ling wait
But love never delegates us
power to dictate
Love is that master key to
the door of happiness
Its the bricks that forms the
mantle of success
We don't have to agree
with each other to love
For God gave me what I
was unworthy of
What's held in your heart
your mouth will speak
So before speaking do a
mental critique
love is never idle or to be
cast in mothballs
I see love as a servant in
coveralls
In short, Love is GODS
nature in procreation
For it's the genesis of
human creation
