Not to analyse when sweetly breathing sound
always Spirit first from pearl reflections nurse
action becoming transmutation spreading
healthy is happy heart
Through precision we will finally be free
overcoming obstacles of any spree
emerging Spirit onward and upward
power by degree
Perfect is this on way despite obstacles
Love looking for more fondness adoring
single purpose in Spirit length of time soaring
concentrate all time
Definite purpose or action, object defined
receive intelligence touching Transmitter
possibilities of attention startling
credible it is
Premise of Spirit is Love united, see
buy not into anything that is not Love
humans believe what they want to believe
sway in own freedom
Captivating is absorption distinguish
accomplishment can be acquired, Woman
in Spirit we are conceived, believe bliss, Sisters
_____Bliss ! we shall return ~ where to ?____!

Beauty bows and surrenders at her bare feet,
The gold glitters jealous of her glowing skin,
Her bright eyes light embers of passion within,
Men yield to her will!
Warriors clang their weapons to fight to die,
Flags with horseman fly, write history again,
While sat in emerald throne, she rules their minds,
With potion of love!
Is there a poison more deadly than such love?
A woman to whom the Roman empire bows,
Juice of poison berry* she put in own eyes,
He who loves her - dies!
Mighty Caesar or Anthony were like clay,
Their tirades, history fade in her presence,
They lost in war, lost in her love, end by knife,
She put Asp to breast!

Cleopetra used poisonous berries or the deadly nightshade juice( medicinal name Atropa belladonna) that yields Atropine which causes dilatation of the pupils. Was used in her time to make the eyes dreamy, innocent and beautiful! Hence the name “Bella = lady, Donna= beautiful)

Continuance
Climbing waves crept ashore and stole our footsteps
yet prints went aslant, surrendered none to our
unbroken hearts in bottled notes cast adrift
~~boundless praised afar
Country road, a bit bumpy, grassy, pressed ground
yet spontaneous passion stays eternal
matching close limitless decorative spread
~~tough and tamed amour
Curtains flounce in the wake of teasing zephyrs
yet our infinite spirits perpetuates
as the energies overwhelm and control
~~our love is endless
Chaotic episodes choke in riddled voids
worthless babble festers o'er empty pages
yet unsung strength fills the bottomless inkwell
~~unwavering writes
Coins flick to the bottom of a wishing well
ere sparkles, hopes hang on first in the night sky
candles on cakes, wishbone breaks, touch blue come true,
~~us everlasting

Here we are, as limited body, looking
outward because senses so seduce our soul
but in doing, we assume that we are the …
doer in this dream.
Breath by breath thus, delusion slowly deepens,
hypnotising consciousness until it so
believes that all there is to it is this form …
darkness shrouds heart’s glow.
Fortunately, if we choose without excuse,
we may reclaim at any time, bliss rapture
if we but so steady the flame of thought flow …
light of Self then shines.
Who we are we know this way, when we pierce the
veil of lower mind and see without mirrors,
yet the truth so voiced may be known not to mind …
heart’s where love grazes.
The North wind blew, ominous, nights now longer,
testing resolve, deepening dread, the fear of
darkness stalking, time to distil impulses …
lighting lamp of love.
The East wind blew, promising warmth of sol’s touch,
proximity to the source enlivening
heart, thus bringing boons of grace, that gratitude …
lights the lamp of love.
The South wind blew, caused on soul choosing to shift,
resting thought forms, magnetism stirring within,
kundalini dissolving karma, that we …
light the lamp of love.
The West wind blew, last life breath, teleporting
presence from earth to heaven, making soul’s eye
synced with divine consciousness magically …
lighting lamp of love.
Hail, fair Aphrodite, foam-born, star of the sea-ways,
Mist-veiled sovereign, mover of mortal bosoms,
Bearer of sighs and bloom of the secret garden—
Hear now my praising.
Thou who mak’st kings bow low and shepherds mighty,
Thou whose glance sets the coldest spirit burning,
Soft is thy yoke, yet none may flee thy binding—
Sweet is thy governance.
Dost thou recall our hours in hush and amber,
When breath met breath and time itself stood hearkening?
Say, if thou wilt, in dream or sign or whisper—
I yet remember.
Take thou this vow, by rose and hidden ember:
No tongue shall loose the tale we twain have carried;
Close kept, sealed fast, our chronicle unspoken—
Veiled be our history.
in the green, green garden,
under the blue, blue sky,
did you throw me a rose
on the sly?
on the slow slow river,
in the wooden log boat,
did you sneak in for me
a love note?
in the loud, loud thunder,
of stormy, stormy night,
did you send me signal,
with flash light?
during hot hot coffee,
in the greek restaurant,
was it you who left a
gold pendant?
in my deep, deep slumber,
I dream and think of you,
wish you would just tell me
“I love you!”

Sapphic stanza modified to 6,6,6 3 syllables
Together forever was the language, a love like never before
From time to time at night, sitted the beacon at the beacony
Gazing at the stars and moon all alone, racing in my mind thoughts of her
I was craving and longing affectionately, to be rap around the arms of my lover
She was everywhere in my thoughts, except here with me, very crazy night
So lazy, quiet, and lonely without, my lover to cuddle with and Kudos her
Flashes of memories we shared together allover my mind
Causing fatalities everywhere just like thunderstorm
Lighting the way to my heart for depression to storm, my mind with tumultuous reaction
Left my brain wandering for her smells, sensing vacuum only, without a trace of my lover
Just like rain drops water dripping over my body, it's a rain drop of my tears and sweat
Leaving me wet and vulnerable without protective cover, my lover to hover me over
the petals of flower of love just like the, hummingbird hovering over the flowers.
She was the Cudos for assessing my depressive symptoms, the only scale for the outcome of my pains
The remedy to my illness, she always put me to rest, without no test, with my head on her chest
Always make me feel better and happier than the rest, she is the best I hope not better than my next.
Days of poet motivate calm compassion.
Sheer injustice evident—every turnpike
manned by soldiers’ wild unfamiliar passion
planned around harsh Strike.
Summonsed lamb to slaughter, but still respecting
burning bush—obedience lit by daydream,
Ares now advance with his pride, suspecting
alter in regime.
Bending truth to suit the occasion’s essence,
whispers coil in shadows of veiled renitence.
Glow of waters lap at the swirling valence.
Ebbing of sentience.
Psappho wept—her dream has dispersed as token.
Rose-fingered moon’s face will exceed all starlight.*
Silence now descends tableau muffled, Brocken
Spectre of moonlight.
Dirty, tatterdemalion in appearance
He's clothed in worn-out raiment, his hair unkempt;
Perambulating through concrete jungles with...
No place to call home.
He carries his entire life in his backpack.
No money to spend; hunger pangs relentless.
On the move from shelter to shelter, he has...
No place to call home
He's but a man the rest of the world forgot;
Loneliness written in his sickly sad eyes.
It's so harsh life devoid of creature comforts;
No place to call home.
