Acelerating between cosine delta’s energetic forces, gravitates home inertia
Joule’s kinetic level’s magnetic number, oval propagating quantum radius’
S-matrices, time unifying vector wavelength X’s yellow Zeta
oscillating back and forth
head tilting from leeward and windward
an abstract puzzling my imperial gaze
a Van Gogh in waiting
perchance a reflection illuminated
in broad mesmerizing strokes
some tantalizing insightfulness
else a superficial escapade
do the color menageries
stray my mindfulness or hold attention
each vivid hue enlightenment
to soothe & provide enrichment
is my inspiration desperation
to find meaning in the simpleton
gravitating and oscillating
between beauty and gargoyles
does incredulous creativity scare me
or woo me into submissiveness
the artist plying servitude
into mine cavernous cavities
Alan Scales’ exhibit of
Turquoise Abstract Landscape II
provides fodder for my mind
to exponentially explode

Luminescent water dweller swirling svelte
Slick slid tranquil cuddles chocolate flanks
Languish in lake's fresh flow cleanses pelt
Inveigled green murk give mammal thanks
Flip of fish bodied bristle face fierce scent
Dispersing air bubble clusters break ranks
Astonished by spine kink accomplishment
Ransack gets snack refuel on sandy banks
Sharp fang archer snares mollusc, eloquent
Velvet lips emit wet grass verdant vibe knell
Frolicking gloss body, domain of free agent
Guarantees relief, feasted minuscule morsel
Rotary manuevres engrave prey unhindered
Dagger mouth rolls marble glassy carouse
Rouge show-off swims to coldest dominion
Flagrant tail track flicks a frigid drop douse

Behemoth of depths
Even though we now know that we are not only the mind body from multiple direct oneness experiences, yet, on a moment to moment basis, attention oscillates, whilst yet in parallel blissfully aglow within, in an unbroken continuum. Assimilation awaits.
darkness shrouds darkness
yet it is futile to veil
luminous being

Clutching at my dampened sheet,
staring up at alabaster,
I hear voices from the street,
I see faces in the plaster
Oscillating fans repeat
phrases set to fast or faster
My TV transmits discreet
messages through one newscaster
As I do the wash again,
I can faintly hear a choir
singing in the final spin
One word cycles from the dryer
Taking note at breakfast when
eggs act as a clarifier
for the face of Christ therein,
I consume my edifier!
I'm aware I recognize
traits that I, myself, have got
- noises, noses, voices, eyes -
whether they are there or not
