The Plural Sky and the Temptation of Its Mirrored Eyes

I melt into the plural sky
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...

Gateway Town

Gateway town, Mississippi and Missouri river flooding confluence,
with its celebration of manifest destiny, its looming, iconic archway.
Stainless westward marker, its culture flowed southward for influence
within the lawn-jockey, pink flamingo neighborhoods of moral decay. 

T.S, Eliot,...

Ill Wind Of

Ill Wind of


It comes replete with verve and belief

Full blown in its gusto and rote of surety 

Yet its goal is to confound and mislead

And bury all the true faces of love

It’s an ill wind...

Cosmic Glitter In the Coalsack

The protoplanetary phase
of nebulae sidereal
occurs in astral later days
before the stage ethereal
when cloud impressions like Monets
create new star material.

At edge of inky Coalsack cloud,
nebula Caldwell Ninety-nine,
amidst the murk of dusty shroud,
PPN stellar redesign
with brilliance beauteous...

Seven Seas Voyage Continues

With every gust of wind, secret taboo,
secreting a web a cocooned prison 
of liquid knowing, flowing,
emulsifying impossibly old and new.
In the beyond of the known, stair-stepped, 
desert bone flashed into 
your consciousness a confident cajoling.

The Wholly Scene

One thwarts the burn of troubled mires,
reserves Myself for My own lot.
The other bids I jump into the fire
and offer everything I’ve got.
One draws me up, the other down,
one draws me back, the other out,

Just...Me

There inside of me is a deep yearning,
One that has been forever burning.

A yearning to belong and to be,
A desire to be accepted for me.

I am a wife but not for long,
As that dream is...

A New Religion

A new religion
That can the future divine
A new god
That can tell us whence we came
A nirvana of nonsense
That only increases our ignorance
A dismal wreck to people’s conscience

We fight among ourselves
To shed as much blood
As a...

Kanya Kumari.

Strips of pale silken scarf
On the soft crimson light
Spreading from land to sea
After the blackness of night
Amid sighing moonstone of seeded saturn
A crow is crowing to break up the pattern.

Kanya Kumari high monarch’s maid

Skipping stones across the still quite waters 

While as enclosed within these submerged thoughts....

Pondering this blanket of fogful mist alongst the path, have I tread and beared

The Balking Mire of Fanghandrath

The Balking Mire of Fanghandrath



‘Twas late when the misted veils
Suck and drew
‘pon the reeking fetters of claxon screams
Wailing echoed dismal to

Too late for lantern to pick a path
In the trickster passages
Of the boggish marsh
The Balking...

When the Door Stays Locked


You’ll come 
Knocking on my door 
One of these days 

And you’ll know 
What it’s like 
To be able to feel your insides 

That uncanny descending feeling 
Like a rock being dropped 
In the ocean...

Embrace the Chaos, Part Ii

...There is no equilibrium
in which mankind can freely live,
it’s always been a push or pull,
some advance while others give.
It’s the only way we get the space
to live goods lives by our own minds,
never to rule,...

Free Will Vs Destiny

Free will whose
An egoic ruse
Please excuse
Offered clues

The mind body enigma
An outer form we call jiva
Inner layer soul or Atma 
All within God or Paramatma

The line of inquiry we face

Fairytale Daydreaming

- By Olongapoet

If gazes and stares and side eyed glances,
Could be summed up to create a number,
So it could reflect to you my chances,
I would live my life no longer somber.

I’d start by asking your...

Acrobatic Essence of Zephyr

Swift
winds drift
parading
hopes cascading
lift

Zephyr's delight
caressing branches in the breeze
Zephyr's delight
Spirals of light
flickering shadows from the trees
Currents of erotic winds tease
Zephyr's delight

Spires
from mires
of gray sway
and receive thrills
as the soft whispered breath of Zephyr spills. 

Rushing
Gushing
Fleeting
reeting
Zephyr races Rushing,...

All Thought Egoic

All thought egoic, manifest by desire
Beginning with an identity urge
To expand, identity thus conspires
Spiralling in grooves, of narrow thought surge

Feeling separate from source, we diverge
Hypnotic illusions, attention mires
The clear light of truth, then begins to...

The Last Trumpet

of the buried love deep inside you

Such a glorious day would burgeon forth
released from all the human anthem
would lift the world

Mire of the Northern Rain Forest

Spring buds
Bursting
Like popcorn stuck on sticks
Raising my perspective to
Gallivant
In knee-high tickle grass
Nested
In the strew of stony rocks
Festooned
With sphagnum and lichen
Frothed with droplets
Of glistening crystal lather
Moored in glade and rill
Plundered in claggy stodge
Boggy green and juicy...
