Long Unifies Poems

Quietly, the memory of my grandfather manifested itself,
In the colors and shimmers of the Holy Spirit, 
I saw his human face,
The familiar lines, the flesh,
The pair of oceanic eyes, slowly blinking 
Smiling,
Like a heavenly beam
Splashing...

“be at ease, oh hermit, in thought free awareness
you are, as you are complete, one with that oneness”

...They proclaimed that we ‘oppressed women,’
it’s the refrain of loud femenists,
forgetting that before birth control
nature gave us little choice in this.
That before we had technology,
when life meant brutal, physical work,
that there just weren’t all that...

What theory unifies forces, weak, strong,
With gravity— also, to which belong
All the string theories of why and because?
To answer these queries, M-theory does.

Proponents aver it offers clarity
As to the issue of singularity.—
Where there’s a will...

Along the corridors both in white overcoats,
I think that’s what unifies us, what charges the environment
Even with light shakes and occasional jades
With larks pretence to just keep the handshake a little longer
Every meeting moment, both...

The world await to see my bride
The wait is over 
To my family, friends, colleagues and the entire universe

And cephalos simply means the “head" with the streak....

oh sweetly coveted
pandiculation,
i take this moment from the general rat race,
that never-ending flow of word, thought & deed to
touch the sky while keeping my feet pulling from my own
lower torso while
bending, twisting & contorting for

Something so thoughtful, we have been given is memory.
The ultimate in Romance.
It can be a planted reminder of who we are, where we come from, what we have experienced.

A testament to bonds unbroken, a love so sublime.

In the tapestry of life, our spirits unified.

My Yesterdays, Todays, Tomorrows
My ‘not-just-six relatives’ tree enlivens…

That day
Concrete skies
Sang siren harmony
The metal spear upsurge pierced the clouds
That rain with crimson dust
Down poured catastrophe,
Fire charred the steel and brickwork graves
In their unfeasibly twisted sprawl.

And those people,
Their flesh
Rag doll ripped
In splayed defile of...

An unfortunate shade still exists
Though never without luminance
Gentle winds breathe
Whispering of hope's return
An ancient native love song
Of words so few

Nothing was stolen
It couldn't be taken
Just reluctantly given
Given despite wanting
Offered many times
Most times refused though still...

And spit on those who say otherwise.
Tax loopholes seem unfair,
To those who minimize
Their day-to-day and scrutinize
The monthly budget.
The craftsmen yowl this advice,
Be a Maker, Not a Taker.

An artisan lists out...

Sounds of Splendor
 
Some say songs soothe the savage beast
On gentle melodies I feast
Sensual pleasures increase
 
Swing me, sway me, elevate me
Joyful psalms can jubilate me
Your lyrics stimulate me

Reggae, soul and blue...

Dear Poets: A Sonnet Call to Arms

The law we fought so hard against has passed.

The waves come rushing to greet me,
They play hide and seek with my feet,
And challenge me to enjoy my best.

Serenades my lover to ecstasy,
