The heavens shimmer 
as billowy linen-white gossamer clouds slip away, as soft blossoms open for the sun.

Mystical wings of Eden brush sunset colors; 
caress the rose petal; touch the lustrous cream bisque glossed onto an...

Depression vol 13 ~ Loveless

How dull I feel, writing of the same 
eternal misery like all those before me;
All my fellow poets, or the regretful 
artists lyrics, that forever seem to plea,

As fickle as a...

If they can’t see past your blindness, then they aren’t any good
Please remember dear child their opinion’s carry weight

The Revenant pt. 1 - A Blighted Vale (pt 1/2)

A solitary figure off the beaten path,
The air a palpable gloom
Be it mortal or shade of someone passed,
No longer in want of a tomb
Betwixt a shuffling...

Don't care about what others think,
Until when my ego falls near the brink.
A lot of this bothers me,
Yet it all helps to see.
My flaws are now so clear,
Only my persona holds fear.
I can't forget those...

The sleep of reason quells my fears away
From doubt, and lifts my mind upon the wings
Of carelessness, well sheltered on my way
To places where no man or ghost may sing,
    Where all...

I thought that's what you meant?
There is so much meaning there.
I get it now.
It's clear as day, 
once you understand it.
But, dear reader, once you have the answer, 
never question it.
Never ask the author to...

Plus applying index finger as pointer guide
(take that Missus Wells),
who best not take objection, hence let snide
blackboard barbed comment dultifully slide

from gentleman with pride
and prejudice toward third grade teacher,

You cry: "Oh No!", as your cherish beloved pot 
lies shattered into pieces
at your feet, splattered in tears,
echoing your sobs and muttered moans.
"What to do?" you ask.
You could try to glue it back together,
but it's...

In Youth-less Age
 


Though gentle, hopeful drifts we brood,
but age our wont be kind enough,
in threescores is when life imbued,

Each morn at dawn I stroll along 
the ocean's sandy shore,
the beach.

Each day it's different,
but always it's as it's ever been,
malleable,
resilient.

Sea and beach - what a perfect pair, a couple
holding hands, together, since time began.
Particles...

Bodhichitta:

Is a supremely multicultural
golden elixir
overcoming sovereignty of death,
fear of mortality,
anger against loss
and suffering
and dispassionate inhumanity.

Is an inexhaustible
infinite
poly-rational treasure
eliminating,
absorbing,
healing poverty
in 
and on
and over Earth's orbiting
revolving
spiraling seasonal path.

Is supreme medicine
that quells
dispels Earth's disease,
monoculturing unease,
swells polyculturing ease,
communion,
multiculturally intelligent...

What squashes Peace worse than War?
I feel the heavy quakes by the angry booms
Coming from left and right, behind and before.
Peace zooms off from all souls, bodies and rooms.

I run. Peace runs too. We both...

I lie on a bed of grass, huddled beneath
this vast expanse of night sky
with the breeze passing in light swirls
over my upturned face,
all my senses alight.

I gaze at that smooth disc
of ardent argent,
unmarred by confining...

Ever since creation, there have been voids
	Ineffectual places for deviants to hide
	In the beginning there were just a few of us
	Milling around in the dark
	Stumbling on our own uselessness
	Bleeding from our palms and knees
	As a...

Cherub's unfurled fingers faithfully extend to his fallow fringe
