The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes

its rippling tableaus of tomorrow
underneath open light waves
see-saws the labyrinth
like Delphi tendrils crossing channels
all the changing faces played
automatic, embedded in misty consort
with Hyde-Lees and Yeats
love-crushed oracles
ghostwriting...

season’s poetry,
I am she

Why are we herePart-1:
Polarities unite, in burst of light
One that became two, is now one again
Rapture renewal pulsates with delight
Embodied within, we gently ingrain
An ethereal cord, transmits this bliss
Straight to the source, without employing force
Teasing caress of Divine...

The Cloudy BookshelfWhen that storm arrived,
the entire congregation
in genuflection
knelt before
Her poetic prayers,
they saw themselves shining,
eventually, in Her reflection
scandalously quiet
like perculating thunder,
