A blitzkrieg wipes your innocence away
and only heaven’s hand can help you now.
Your counterparts lie trepid to the fray,
for they can sense the wolfen on the prowl.
Oh dear Poland, there’ll be no recompense
as death, unbridled,...

tight thoughts toil,
as threads in head uncoil
ideas plaited, intent's tug
escort through dilate pupils.

sprinkling notion's seeds.
Small things become divine.

Heart racing at the keening of steel on scabbard

Negating nothing, accepting what is,
we begin then with this organic shell,
where stuporous mind treats life like a quiz,
birthing fears though heart tells us all is well.
For our well-being, we struggle and strive
but joy in permanence...

From the cradle of birth through the complex of life,
to finally the dungeon of death,

Thunderous silence in fresh mountain air
Dragonflies land on a mirrored flat lake. 
A trout breaks the surface with but a swirl
Hushed morning stopping to rolling vast cheer.
Eight boats of rowers united in curl
Sixty-four faces combined...

Like monstrous, angelic wings, you carried me through fields of uncertain bliss

And the hues of the blues of the skies soared fierce

You caressed...

The Stately Iris Flower

Bearded irises are tall and stately in form
They grow from rhizome sculptured leaves through a storm
Standing stiffly upright or curving at the tips
A swollen stem where nutrients are stored at the hips

Deep inside the anger grows,
No one cares, no one knows.

Who knows the answer or cause?

Eyes of red, full of hate,
Something stirring and waits.
Knowing to try, no much time,
Seeing the mountain there,...

Remember, whispers it to my sulking face,
Remember of the romance meant to be lived
In eternity!

Remember of the cause of your fall
Remember of the divine guidance!

The seed is planted deep
Down within the moist soil
Slowly the seed cracks open
Allowing roots to form and uncoil

Reaching as far as it can
up towards our father sky
instinctively seeds do this,
But, I cannot tell you why

Spring rain falls akin to a gentle mist
Soaking the earth with every twist
Beneath the soil, a world unknown
Where life takes root, and seeds are sown
