I murmur like a rivulet through the
hitch of your hands, where the canyons
carve their parched longing into your fingers—
where silences sublimate like cera,
pooling beneath your glissando touch.
Your tremolo breath convulses rough and low
like sibilant submersion in water—
spilling, sinking, staining everything it meets.
I watch the estuary of your gaze split my horizon—
watch you hush abysmal eyes into
celestially arched surrender.
There is no stillness between starlight,
only the pull of mighty magnitudes,
fuses lit beneath the ribs,
pulses and throbs teaching the air
how to cleave—how to…
sforzando!
Love, here, is neither reserved nor reticent—
it is lightning bottled in glass—
hellfire burning beneath the tide—
language that deconstructs
even as it is uttered.
I step forward—some faltering cadence,
some submitting ascension—placing my hands into your fire,
not to be consumed, but to remember
how stars revel and rain.
#The_begining_of_my_end
Listen to the echoes of my heart, something of great magnitudes, swifts by, my grounds are shifting, my spirit tilting, gripping my least to witnessing this phenomenal presence, hook me to the air, as I gasp for my stand, a chance to say I too have witnessed
Her tiny soul dipping eyes, I'm subjected with perforations on my spirit. When I flip to her sight, my whole twist, to bowing if not worshipping her fragmented frame of distance awe, seal my eyes, I have seen enough to last me my eternity. Strap my wings, no sky of earth is worth my hovering beyond this. Chain my legs and throw away the keys, I have walked into my enough, my last lap.
Come closer and witness the overflow in my heart, to its brim, it has been filled. Listen closer, the rumbling sound of jubilation, something is been celebrated in my heart beat, a presence so immeasurable,
Seal my heart, I have shed enough love already. Seal my eyes, I have seen enough already. Weld my ears, I have heard enough already. Block my brains, I have thought enough. Take away my pen, I have written enough poems, this is the beginning of my end
#Poetic_Ink
I AM EVEREST, Ever So-High
One that I AM with the Earth and the Sky's
Ever-Soaring, I AM a Colossal at my peak
Never Resting, Always Rising, Reaching for the Heavenlies
Ever-Upwards above the Mists Of Sight
Breaching the Ethers of Space Time,
Majestic as the Valleys deep within
I AM a Conqueror of Mountains,
at my peak I Shine In Solar Opulence
Airborne, I Pierce North in Transcendence
Like a Nectar of the supreme, I Rendezvous with Infinity
Soaring High Grounds a King Destined to be,
Standing Tall like a Celestial Bastion Of Imperial Glory
I AM EVEREST, EVER-LEGENDARY
Ever-Thriving, I Reach High and Break Veils with Might
One with Mother Earth, One with Father Sky
Breathless, I'm Resurrected at High Altitudes
Towering in Thundering Magnitudes,
Victor Of The Valleys, I Transcend Upright
I AM GLORIOUS, I Dance with Starlights
Human conditions have no precedence
Over dogmatism, mindlessness, hatred
Religion and exploitation of
one's mind and body, One's lineage
and whence it came from.
Generation to Generation makes
everyone unique and universal in
all magnitudes within this planet
called earth. Respect should be
the common denominator to the
bits and pieces of this World 's
puzzle.
Negative behaviors are often
instilled into one's mind from
childhood throughout adulthood
because of the stereotyping of
one's intellectual and individually,
was seized and restrained.
Therefore acts of love and kindness
worldwide preferably would be
a solution and would be a more
peaceful realm to dwell.
I’m still standing, and all credit goes to God.
Many from all walks of life and places treated me odd.
God, I’m better than I’ve ever been.
I’m not in the hood anymore.
I’m not knocking on Hell’s doors.
Lord, I thank You for keeping me alive.
Many vectors pointed toward me from,
Huge directions and magnitudes.
It was only you that cancelled them out.
I give You true praise and credit without a doubt.
God, You, sent me to a place where I received more love,
Than, I ever obtained from people in my life.
I know that it came from You.
I know that I live the life that’s true.
I’m still standing because my purpose is enormous,
And for long it won’t be dormant.
I’m still standing although many don’t want me to.
I thank God that after all this time,
I’m still standing in my life that’s true.
I’m huddled in a corner -
I’d move but I’m paralyzed
by invisible patterns of heavy air
and magnitudes of decision.
I know I must motivate
this unconvincing vision of myself
to struggle with the immaterial forces
and perform the pointless activities of life.
.
.
.
ps, I write short stories too
There is a place harbored solely by my heart.
It is peaceful, unhurried, free of every fear.
'Tis magnitudes more when you are near.
There is a calmness and serenity about you
that is all-seeing, penetrates my very being
and fixes me on what's worth achieving.
If I listen with mindful intent,
I can hear counsel whispered gentle.
It is direct, seasoned, and unsentimental.
Humbled, graced I am to host such a heart
with a place that pathfinds my course.
In humility I praise and thank the source.
A face can tell many stories, ancestor’s journeys, and glories,
Every feature stemmed from a root, from worldly gardens bearing fruit,
How could one be the best?
Traits portray unique magnitudes, of all descendant’s latitudes,
Colors and pigments of many, beautiful wonders of plenty,
Can one be like the rest?
Cultures weave colors of mankind, vivid threads of time left behind,
Diversity resounds splendor, within heart walls echoes render,
That each and all are blest.
Up there, a wonderful garden
moon flowers, silvering
the sky,,,
Further away, igneous
powerful garden of the sun ...
Fire flowers crackle
without burning ... !
Beyond, right there
superb garden of lights,
flowers of all colors,
of heavenly sparkles ...
They are all magnitudes,
divine gardens
of the creator ... that we have
also a garden in us ...!

THE MYSTERIOUS GIRL
By Radebe Diemo Glen
Hopeless, yet heartbroken, that’s when I saw her.
A girl so beautiful, so innocent – she blew my mind away,
Took my heart by storm
And left it wondering.
A sharp pang shut through my body
And made my left leg go numb.
She said one word…
It flattered me with its beauty.
I may forget what she said,
But I would still feel so bad.
I will, however, not forget how she makes me feel.
I just hope she and I have a deal.
My love for her has no magnitudes.
It drives me crazy; I’d reach all altitudes.
I hate being an abductee,
Rather I will make her my honouree.

Magnitudes of greatness
Unfailing love relentless
My noble rock and fortress
Father to the fatherless
Marched beyond the wilderness
Redeemer of righteousness
In awe of your magnificence
Omnipresent brilliance
Of glorious resplendence
An eternal assurance
A blessed abundance
Of shining countenance
With strength and resilience
Royalty and eminence
His majesty of prominence
Gladness in your presence
Free in your deliverance
Delightful in obedience
His almighty radiance
Written by Geraldine Taylor ©
You are a leader that belches power
and sends eclipses wherever you want
Do not be proud
Watch out
You are a beauty born and painted
and the world comes to a halt as you pass
Do not be proud
Watch out
You are brain worker known on earth’s surface
with a mouth that bleeds theories and philosophies
Do not be proud
Watch out
You are a preacher of rare magnitudes
your activities emit miracles and wonders
Do not be proud
Watch out
Those gifts from above are not for pride
An atom of pride brings fleas of blunder
Global revolution is in the air. Not militarily, but technologically.
It will be no less disruptive to world order, in fact it will be many magnitudes more. Technology tsunamis will churn across the globe and back again,
washing away the old world order. What's left in its stead will be radically different. Societies will be rearranged, realigned and in many instances totally washed out of existence. We will communicate wirelessly seemingly telepathically all connected thru the web. The global brain linking up with artificial intelligence when it arrives on the scene. Countries will melt away as those distinctions lose there meaning. Progress will then be so rapid as to be a blur. We'll explore outer space but inhabit virtual space blending the two in ways unexplainable. A Brave New World indeed.
I’m chasing some idea, within this idea
Swimming pools of diarrhea
Insulted by thought, that isn’t my thought
Temporarily happy from something I bought
Praising a system
Embraced policy
Rephrasing wisdom
Edited fallacy
If I am the joke, I don’t seem to get it
On the inside I’m broke and will probably regret it
I suppose I’ll have to wait and see
This doesn’t feel like comedy
I’m thrilled by sights I can’t unsee
Nihilistic from magnitudes smaller than me
Somehow the kitchen is part of my soul
The things in the closet have taken their toll
Of the places of wonder, to travel and wander
I would return once again to the chasms of time
Banff National Park is the jewel in the crown
On the rim of the world where pure silence is found
and the edge of a glacier where white peaks have climbed
Where eyes are astonished and cloistered we'll find
a lake, named Louise, ringed with forest and trees.
The beauty is cradled beyond one's belief
Where centuries seep through the cracks in the ice
and monuments melt much faster than light
Enlightened are those who will come to respect
each breath-taking view, every chance to reflect.
Gaunt pines have climbed, on ridges that sigh
with spokes of long fingers that reach to the sky
It seems that their branches are stars we can't find
With reverence, unspoken, while throats swell in pain
In gratitude, for magnitudes of nature's refrain
My breath is unable to shape a weak voice
or rejoice in the miracle mere mortals will find
I will stare out and marvel at the bright early morn
as I hear my heart beating, and my soul is re-born
