The flowers of love
That you gave to me
Have blossomed, have blossomed
And under the flaming sky
And in the impalpable sunlight
Pieces of me
Percolated from far edges of the universe
And together merged into love.
For when I say
That I love
The meaning is this:
That my heart is fire.
That my mouth is parched.
That my hands are full of bruises.
That my eyes burn holes in the walls.
Love me.
Love me like cloud loves lightning
Love me like tenderness loves intensity
Love me like galaxy loves the quasar
Love me like orchid loves rain.
Feel my fire
Running through you
Feel my fire
Without end or beginning
Feel my fire
As I burn for you
Feel my fire
Feel my fire.
We can't be together
But I burn for you
You love me from afar
But I burn for you
There are miles between us
But I burn for you
But I burn for you day and night.
The flowers of love
Can be seen
Sometimes in meadows
Sometimes in vases
And sometimes near people's gravestones
And sometimes someone would water them
Hoping to keep them around for a while.
So do not mind me
No, do not mind me
As I water
The flowers
Of love
That you gave to me
With something extraordinary
With something red and viscous
With something that carries nutrients
With the very blood
Of
My
Heart.
Arrogance, a sad word holding no purpose in this meaningless world, since we
Revolve upon the commands of some power against which we cannot dare
Rebel, for so subtle and impalpable it is, so divinely mighty, readily
Outpassing our will, denying us of our right to choose for ourselves,
Gorging us with torments, to have us submit to it while we become tragic
Actors and actresses, all dutifully playing out roles in our own
Nether, blindly believing ourselves to be the center of everything that exists, but, if we
Cared to adorn ourselves, with the spiritual commands of this same power, those which
Enunciate of how fickle and short life is, why, our passage on this Earth would be blissful!

Shadows roamed free
Where inspiration whispered
Eviscerate the nebulous nexus of dreams
Find your niche in the unseen
Impalpable, deep, spatial, serene
Shadows lurched seraphically
Their slender limbs are in clear space.
In corners, they danced and played
A life metaphor in their opaque hoax
Inveigle in the shadows
Grim and gaunt, they enchanted
A kismet union amid shadows
The moon's grin inspires delight
A love song entwined two spirits
Compiling through the night
A subtle whisper symphony
Star-struck lovers meet overnight
Together, they dance under the moon
Aligning hearts erased tears
This celestial ballroom ignites love
Ghostly silhouettes caterwaul
Predicting the futile collapse
Clangor and penumbra persist
Cosmological contempt
They wear thick gossamer makeup
Corpulent umbra, unfair cover
Shaded depths becloud
Crestfallen, they seek a shroud
Find shelter with shades and phantoms
Their spirit was freed in the darkness
Eternal whispers In the dusk
shadows extend within moments.
Dramatic dance that steals time
They weave magic in a whisper concert
With lightness, silence the breath
Gentle fall, evoking angel feathers
Weary earth fighters find peace
Its loving hug provides relief
Rustic tunes, deep insights.
***This piece is a vital human question regarding the validity and
authenticity of humanity's existence, experience and significance,
in relation to the perpetual immensity of the universe with
its mystical and confounding qualities***
Fate Of The Spirit
Are sentient organisms through the vast unknown
Simply insignificant evanescent galactic fragments
Adrift in space across faultless and everlasting time
Cradled in the inexorable grasp of an Impalpable Force
Of which within a twinkle of one universal moment could
Condense a consciousness into an extinguished sparkle
Instantaneously driven to oblivion throughout eternity?
Or essences created in a transcendental awakening?
The truth lies upon the immutable fate of the spirit!

Splendour of the Seas
Cruising the Mediterranean Sea
Defying Evil
The moment an urge to surrender emerged
Inundated with fear by the impalpable devil
One must assuage and strengthen your will
To awaken the spirit profoundly submerged

Aboard the Vision of the Seas
Cruising towards Boston, Massachusetts
You, ghostly, ethereal and impalpable, imaginary friend
were my bond to the outside world,
without you, I am a recluse, invisible, veiled, disguised to all.
More than happy to live here hidden
safely in this self created inner sanctum,
alive in pictures and memories sustaining this inconspicuous me.
The reality is I must be unafraid and open the door
stand before the see through unmirrored glass
and let the world see me.
One step slow then quick
with all you've taught
I can find a way to embrace each step bravely.
You were my bond that held me firm in place
greeting the world as it is, as I am, as I was,
now presenting me face to face to the world.
Look at me, see me, don't think I stand alone
an intangible presence, strength and courage is here,
unseen steadfast, but obvious invisible at my side.
Picture - Being Invisible
behind the invisible and locked door Akashic records are re-
corded and monitored (lizards and limbic systems leak fluids)
as druids sacrifice their lives for the harvest and hum…
the swelling cities ramble and babble
beneath sagging and aging wires
disintegrating and integrating
into the impalpable web…boiling brains…
blackness eats mouths growing cancer
as the king’s atomic crown blinds all…
the owl recognizes a voice in the orderly wilder-
ness…the first flakes of snow descend…electric hell glows…
all citizens know and obey the silent titles and epitaphs
etched into our stony silence stabilizing foundations of reality…
the texture of madness caresses my psyche
my eyes envision scythes and scathing words…
…caustic causations eat reason out of my tongue… (who are you?) whispers the auto-
mated unconscious answering silhouettes with symphonies…the negative is the final
answer…contracts contract and species sizzle beneath the riddle penetrating the o-
zone…
I loved you …
like water -
dove, swam, immersed
drowned
like breath
out, in, saturated
gasping
unseen
but essential
impalpable, yet vital
my sea -
deep, boundless, capricious
blue … terrifying
my sky -
vast, moody, dazzling
blue … and dark
you … were my
element - oxygen for my fire
breeze to kiss my cheek
a stream to
cool … and christen
the expanse to cast my sails upon
you …
were my aliment -
manna from the heavens
my sustenance
and I …
devoured you
for ‘til that moment
I’d never known
the meaning …
hunger.

Lament Of A Fallen Peaceful Warrior
Dreamt as I hover amongst the distant stars I never existed
No hands or feet or words of regret discernibly heard or said
----------------------
Wisdom in absence fail to disallow peace to vanish in thin air
Frenzied voices roar aloud while impregnable walls shattered
In clandestine dungeons hidden tears accrued to gun powder
Explodes like thunder for promises of love eventually faltered
Most chauvinistic of senses heart of virtuousness admonishes
Bares distended egos of men claiming their cruelest conquest
Power and greed and envy amass even in gravity free spaces
Truly mesmerized by immoral desire to suffocate the weakest
Tried to escape bloody scenes of war which makes skin quiver
Restraining enduring wrath for revenge to punish the evil doer
Beneath burial ground where cold eroding bones in solitude be
Justice shifting dark to light these eyes are not destined to see
----------------------
Within this endless void I aimlessly probe for ultimate meaning
An impalpable force caresses this lost spirit crying for the living

Rhapsody Of the Seas
Cruising the Mediterranean
Written: April 3rd 2024
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How I venerate you, O Lord
In your lens, lenity and levity loom
as a benign breeze
Stars doth glitter in a prolific night sky
Their radiance is a celestial litter
guiding wayward souls to shine
When people slumber, embrace
They heed no calls.
Even gates sealed by nobility
won't disrupt their serene sleepiness
yet I embrace your extol in solitude
In an epoch where time stretches
No flame flickers with fervor
as I wassail on Ambrosian Amber
amorist aflame by zeal and dazes
I spy on myself with an unequivocal shield
Observing an abundance of stars in motion
With clouds skating kindly, hide-and-seek
Through a sky smeared with ink
It's well past midnight
My knees start to quake and aquiver
I had eagerly awaited the moment.
Beneath clay of life
Amidst challenges, beleaguer
I'm tripping and fumbling from a perch
Oh, what a sight...
I fall from my pedestal
Now diminished to creeping and crawling
Our separation has been long
and crave your arcane embrace
It's been ages since
I first revered your ariose divinity
I will never perish asunder.
I grasp your blithely unfathomable lens
I am witnessing the blossoming of canorous love
while I am tangled in its throes
My clangor corpulent return is obvious
after desultory crestfallen
I grapple in agony, seeking mercy
Despite my anguish, I felt forlorn
in need of your diaphanous meed
But you never let me be lonesome
Constantly providing an unwavering glow.
Dulcet shrine dances
A hundred billion mirrors
Elysian pin-sized effusive
Dazzles with an ephemeral glow
Rising in an esoteric mirror
Fastidious gossamer glimmers
Of the divine inveigle
Until you bear them in
How will you realize?
Who resides there?
Elixir lyrics by masters
Churning my impalpable blood
Into jaunt juicy ambrosia.
You grasp my languid state
And celebrate
Wait till I dissolve
Into loquacious nectar
then will drink and maunder
a nebulous nexus was around?
