Poetry In Ai Conundrum

A new sun has arisen in the dawning literary sky,
the poetry horizon is illumined by the flash of Ai.
Novel ideas and stylistic stimulation the poets get
from metaphoric spectrum of the sun that doesn’t set.

Experimenting with different poetic forms Ai is free
to motivate new perceptions for innovative poetry.
Choosing Ai as creative collaborator poets may flock
when they need help to overcome the writer’s block.

The delicate domain of human emotions in Ai is hollow,
making its structured poems seem artificial and shallow.
Devoid of life skills it lacks human feelings in the core.
So, the artistic depth of passion its essence can’t explore. 

Ai poems may replicate the existing ones with dexterity,
inviting queries about plagiarism and originality.
The poems of heart run the risk of being undermined
by Ai, overshadowing the lively reflection of the human mind.

Conversation with Relatives

Conversation With Relatives

Today, I feel an intense resolve. About two years ago, family members frequently shared news of someone's passing—whether it was from the village or someone I had once known. During those conversations, I would tense up and firmly request that they refrain from calling with bad news. 
Death is a constant reminder, glaring at us from our calendars.

I recall a time when my neighbor had called to inform me that someone was outside my door, dressed in black, was banging on it.
 My immediate thought was that the Angel of Death was seeking me out. In these pandemic days, he is everywhere, like an Amazon Prime van overshadowing UPS trucks. 

While the world faces shutdowns, some individuals refuse to take it seriously.
 They blatantly reject the vaccines, either out of selfishness or fear of death. It's essential to acknowledge that death will claim us all; poets write about it because they express truths that other forms of communication often miss.

As Lao Tzu stated, "A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live." 
My mantra today is to seize each moment and live every day as if it's my last.

MIRROR

A shining example, when shattering insight becomes deleterious

Mindless, yet finds itself turned out inside; all along mysterious,
I paused, reflecting; seeing past times, versions of delirious,
Roaming across unfrozen ice, I can't take the vision so serious.
Relevant; for it shows pains that resemble being a human Cereus
Overshadowing, my most lonely introspective moment of Sirius
Realizing sadness by finding it powerless; internal happiness is propitious

Redwoods

the tall redwood trees
burnt, carved, hollowed for shelter
still green & standing tall 

like a redwood tree
I feel tormented and saddened
ignoring hardships
standing here for centuries
sharing calm & serenity

wish I could be like a redwood grove aged with wisdom 
I feel like a giant overshadowing my misfortunes
sharing my thoughts and giving peace and happiness to all in world

(A combination of haiku,  tanka and sijo)

The Theory

I wish to be reborn
of the body, you are tormented with anger today 
from your spectacular misfortunes 
in the infinite stone 
you fight with yourself 
with mirrors that smile sarcastically 
you smile tenderly 
invent the mornings 
I must be a little above 
ignore the sheets 
you are overshadowing me in your fierce longing 
at night 
grow under my heart 
over the breasts that seem
from different hemispheres 
you reunite it-

This is how the Universe appeared.

In Cinema

A movie about horror
Characters playing with mirror
Reflecting images of furor
Dissecting with knives of terror

Villains of phantasm
Heels of sarcasm
Viewers of spasm
Breaking apart like chasm

Stories of apparition
Product of man's illusion
Overshadowing people's intuition
Instinct over perception

Curtains of cinema, wide open and free
Watchers of stigma, cold hands on knee

Lesson of the story, mind over body
Shadows of mystery, glimpse of artistry

Substandard Life Under a Thunderous Cloud

Hell has opened its mouth and spit forth Apollyon.
A brutal beast wrapped in a cloak of deceit.
A grandiose idealist with evil intention.
A reaper of racism.
A shameless rapist of intellectually rigid minds.
An artful ruler of schism.
He lives out loud in his want for a reign of vicious fascism.
Overshadowing the union of a pleading Nation.
The world is ablaze with fear of his reigning anarchy.
There are dawdling tongues and lament songs for abdication.
The faithful lift their faces to heaven and pray for intervention.
The liberals protest against social and economical injustice.
A group of withering supplication to the heartless.
His world is anchored on filth and ruthlessness.
Like many, I live my substandard life under a thunderous cloud.
Stiff back, head high, strong resistant, and proud.

Beauty Underneath Silence

Silence of niche in the wilderness
  scenery catches the eye glands
Underneath the sands is the richness
  of an oasis within the dried lands.
Beauty overshadowing an arid land,
  a living soil encapsulated in Thy hand.

I Am With You

I Am with you! 
Yes I exits 
But nobody can see? 
As I am staying in your brain.
 I am really enjoying there,
 Giving you a lot of hidden pain. 
You want to release from me,
 But nobody is listening you. 
As the day passes, 
I am overshadowing your brain.
 Making you happy other time sad,
 For sake of my identity I m losing yours.
 You being lost impenetrable,
 Asking for help in silent. 
As you are useless, society passes by you, 
I think I am about to win. 
Called by suffering from mental issues, 
Now they finally see my existence.
 But its too late, 
As, I m staying in other one.

Rely On Affection

A striking canvass of the night sky.
Wept as the moon shone brightly.
The mistiness provides a sense of calm.
An upheaval arose amid the silence. 

Smooth orbs droop toward us.
Such a fight about shiny wonts.
Overshadowing the area of view.
This brief pause was quickly ended.

As the moon and stars fade.
Night softens the shadows.
Sweet loving states glow zealously.

Tonight the darlings emerge.
Filling hearts with unwavering trust.
This evening, a higher smile.
Reminds us to trust affection.

Damocles Fallen

A gray cloud hangs ominously
On the horizon, overshadowing
The last golden rays of the sun.
Below, Damocles waits;
The sword hangs by a hair!
In a great white building
Men and women squabble -
Moving chess pieces to
Make decisions that affect
Crises of lives and livelihoods,
One-upmanship the game of the day.

Meanwhile the black cloud grows,
And thunder begins to rumble.
Lightning flashes in the cloud.
A man comes out of the building -
Waving and crying triumphantly,
“We got what we wanted!”
And the thunder rolls, and brilliant
Bolts of lightning strike the ground.
The rains come, and the winds whip,
Tearing the shelter from those
Flinching helpless, beneath.

Jobs vanish; the sick have no succor.
Wall Street flails from the
Shock waves of decisions forged
At the last possible minute
By the heedless powers that be.
Reverberations circle the globe,
Shaking the foundations 
Of our integrity and credibility.
In the terrible ensuing storm,
Hopes for the future are dashed,
And Damocles is truly lost,
For the sword has fallen!

Love Needs Constant Watering

True love is not a fleeting thing, a fading flower
To be tossed aside when it begins to wither,
But revived, replenished, methodically nurtured,
Restoring the natural beauty it had in its beginning.
Comes the time when lustful romancing subsides,
Matures, perhaps, is the better word to explain—
But the foundational love remains to be watered
And fed, overshadowing the disappointments
That come when we share our life with another.

My Delight In a Future Holy Wife-

And one day
 it will be my delight I
 shall find another

One my fondest 
they're like overshadowing 
the particulars

 she shall be a particular
 spiritually 
guided sanctioned by God 

One of his brightest 
His a Holy daughter 
Whom I shall in veil into my delight 
I will be excited to be delighted 

Blessed and versed 
Spiritually called and voiced
 inspired by her liberties 
Her praise her souls beauty 

Why would be invested in this life
I'm confessing I'll wait ...for my future delight my new Holy Wife

Scenes of Life

A sneaky girl in the
 tiptoe, look over
 the window ... a disheveled doll
 almost loses everything in a wash ...

 Phenomenal music goes through
 my spine and my vibrations
 silent strings ...

 An astonishing scream from a
  powerful throat announces:
  the fruit seller ...

  A pet kitten protests
   in painful meow by heat
   and shelter ... evil men
   they do the ball ...

   A light cut makes the street hell ...
   Everyone seeks sailing, light ...
    but not the clarity ....

    Scandalous and sassy garbage
    crosses the sidewalk causing
    my anger and overshadowing my
    joy ... Things that touch
   any sensitivity ...

     The sun is sort of cold,
     after the stupendous gale ...
     I manage to arrange blankets
     of clouds for him ...!
  
      A plant sprouts in the middle
       to solid concrete ...
       concretely, it is a miracle!
    
      I look at the sky and I feel dizzy
       with such greatness ...
       it's God's wonder ...

Forever Side By Side

I witnessed pure love spilled out in front of me

I watched him caressed her lovely face,
a tenderness of his touch eased her distress.
I heard him spoke of their love,
and the melody of his voice gave her strength to gaze at him awhile.
I saw his hazel eyes filled with unconditional love overshadowing the sadness creeping up behind his voice whilst a smile never left his face.

I knew then what the true meaning of love,
she’s the everything that matter to him!

She lay there,
motionless!
Brown eyes focused only on him,
and I glimpsed deep into her brown eyes,
her soul yearning to reach out to him,
wanting to speak of her unconditional love.
But in spite of her condition,
her love for him is written all over her lovely face.
Never fade never halt,
pure love shine on.

I knew then what a true love is,
He’s the reason she’s still breathing!

Through smile they communicate.
Holding hands they are forever one,
love embraced them peacefully,
forever side by side...

              

~ I wrote this during my vacation on Guam 9/9/19
And I was so captivated witnessing true love...
