Long Faintness Poems

I was pretty talkative, and spent all of my days chit chattering,
Like galaxies of glinting stars, all the dark universe scattering.

I was always on the move, and loved cacophonic sights and sounds,
Like the deep thrill...

In the early part of the novel year 
When in Aquarium sun anneals hair
And nights already at noon disappear,

When the hoarfrost makes  ground a cover wear
Creating image of her sister white,
But it then short...

I.

Oh please, not to fade so fast into the afternoon
The one that is scattering in a goldenly swooning loneliness
The one that is shattering at a purply time of faintness
And the one whose wind is playing...

The awful feeling tightens my vocal cords
that praised another god who never denied pleasures;
I abandoned faith and despised kindness:
it's time for God to show anger through ransacking,
taking away all favoritism and getting
a payback for disobedience...

Stirring in the bed,
Three o'clock in the morning,
The Sun still sleeps,
My good-wife lays a-bed--asleep--
But, I must stir.
A feeling, a vibration, an irritation low in my spine
Speaks to my legs, “Move!”
And they obey,
They—fruitless in their movements,
They—churning...

You were the witness
Of my gradual disappearance
I evaporated one look at a time
Beneath your harshness
You so vibrant
Me cloaked in my shyness
You not seeing
Or wondering whyness

My smile lost all its brightness
My spirit its lightness
You became more...

The gentle breeze of the night  
Ran away and came in slowly  
And so does my lovers heart

Is the cloud closer or farther?  
As I wonder if my lovers love is ...

Grieved our word by breach of faintness. 
Fraud pains and shivers us wordless  
Had no clue, what had given us 
God, join us in one love and grace.
 
Heaven is broad secret above.
Our parents' love will...

Crushingly brutal, this wasting disease,
That it eats through me with increasing ease.
Oh, in the painful rigidity of lack luster limbs,
My mortal friend still fights, still clings,
As world passes by on the summer breeze.

Who would have...

Springtime is more than just flowers and sun.
April is drenched, and bees will have much fun.
Swarming insects frighten with bites and harm. 
A staining sludge swamp and stinky silt farm. 

Sneeze and hay heat-stinging eyes are a...

The faintness of flight overwhelms me
boxed in caged, corseted, in a cattle car of the air
pristine bells and whistles cajole the herd
as the breath is cycled and recycled through the 
bellows of plasticine and metal
germs...

We should love our enemies as ourselves
Just love, love our enemies as ourselves
it's a just part of the grander test
And the sounds of a shaken leaf
the wind blows as the sound of gust
It's in Jesus...

You have tempted me again 
a rather sinful plot beneath 
the sultriness that beseech 
my wretched soul 

why it is nearly dawn already 
oh how you calmly cater 
to my parts toying with every 
freckle...

Faintness may give the impression of fading separation.  

An art lesson for a seeker.  The seeker will then

point to what remains, when fading ends, as the recognition 

sought..formlessness pointing to nothing.  Or...

This skin on skin connection
sends me this sensation
The heat that emerges from our movement
has us feeling content
As sweat produces
The mentality of knowing 
will continue to happen
for a long measure
of time gives us pleasure
so this feeling...
